𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚓𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝙰𝚏𝚝𝚎𝚛 ✨ 𝙻𝚎𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚛𝚊 The protagonist from one of the books I currently have percolating while I finish work on my current project. #originalcharacter #digitalart #selftaughtartist #fairytale

𝚆𝚒𝚝𝚌𝚑 𝙷𝚊𝚝 𝙰𝚝𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚛 ✨ 𝙲𝚘𝚌𝚘 Who else is excited about the Witch Hat Atelier anime??? I can’t wait to see these amazing characters come to life in animated form! #witchhatatelier #fanart #selftaughtartist #digitalart #anime #manga

𝙼𝚛𝚜. 𝙽𝚘𝚜𝚎 🧹 𝙷𝚘𝚠𝚕'𝚜 𝙼𝚘𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙲𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚕𝚎 Another redraw from me! I drew the original that I drew aaaaaaaaaaall the way back in 2005. I like to think that book Howl still uses all manner of nicknames for Sophie, which is what inspired this piece. #art #fanart #bookfanart #howlsmovingcastle

Back on my Preatear nostalgia. Just redrawing a piece I did back in 2005. TWENTY YEARS AGO. Gosh I’m old… #pretear #fanart #anime #animefanart #himenoawayuki

Did I finally start watching The Pitt simply because I started seeing #hucklerobby in my social media feeds? Maybe. 👀

𝙻𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝙽𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙱𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚛 𝙱𝚘𝚡 ⚡️ 𝙳𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 A very self indulgent piece because why not? The homeowner and Volt like to spoil Eddie because he’s always working so hard. #dateeverything #eddieandvolt #dateeverythingfanart #fanart

𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚎 𝙰𝚜 𝙾𝚕𝚍 𝙰𝚜 𝚃𝚒𝚖𝚎 🥀 𝙱𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝙰𝚍𝚊𝚖 A cozy little moment for Belle and Adam inspired by the cozy princesses in Ralph Breaks the Internet. I just love the idea of these two being adorably domestic - reading aloud, doing each other’s hair, snuggling… #art #fanart #disneyfanart #beautyandthebeast

I enjoy that pretty much all of the canon ships in #dateeverything can be encapsulated in the “someone will die. Of fun!” meme.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Wouldn't it be cool if in response to Kpop Demon Hunters being the most successful animated movie of the year/all time/whatever companies paid artists to do cool original projects and more shows and movies and more stability in animation and design. Hahahhahahahahahhaha man. Oh well!

#dateeverything ships I need to see more content of asap: Abel/Tony Eddie/Volt/Tony Washford/Drysdale/Dirk Curt/Rod Curt/Rod/Wyndolyn Betty/Mateo/Teddy Abel/Scandalabra

#writers , especially #adhd writers. What do you do when you’re in the trenches of your first draft of a book but another story idea starts growing like weeds in your head?

The way #dateeverything makes me want to try drawing something nsfw despite not being confident in my sfw art. 🙃

My two-year-old fought sleep until 11:30 last night. So how are you doing?

One of my favorite daily activities lately has been updating my husband on how romancing my furniture in #dateeverything is going.

Every writer:

The actual most evil villain in Disney history:

when you're fleshing out supporting characters in your book and suddenly their story seems so interesting... #writingcommunity #writersky

my adhd brain and I are really struggling with worldbuilding. #writersky

I am BEGGING companies to stop doing partnerships with Harry Potter. I know it won't happen because it's still guaranteed money, but a girl can dream.

Phew! My reading was still on a roll last month! I read 6 novels and 34 graphic novels/manga/manhwa. Some of my favorites were: The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine, Magical Midlife Invasion, and A Stepmother’s Marchen. #booksky

let me in #witchhatatelier

“Having a librarian in a library is good.” THANK YOU, Abbott Elementary. Thank you, also, for the seemingly simple scene of how beloved it is to hear a book be read aloud 💚

New nails!

My answer to all fictional love triangles:

My child jump scared me this morning. She had woken crying from a bad dream around 5:30 so we brought her into bed with us where she fell back asleep.

Went to AO3 after rewatching The Mummy/Mummy Returns to see if there was any Eve/Rick/Ardeth and/or Ardeth/Jonathan fic, and the internet did not let me down.

𝚆𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚂𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚐𝚐𝚕𝚎 𝚃𝚘 𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚑 𝚊 𝙿𝚒𝚎𝚌𝚎 🙈 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚔𝚜 𝚒𝚗 𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜 I’ve been struggling to finish a drawing lately. I keep getting stuck or become frustrated when I can’t pull off what I’m picturing in my head. Guess I’ll keep practicing and hope for a breakthrough!

I got a compliment on my perfume yesterday and one on my nails today so I’ve got that much going for me at least.

For reasons I’m off my adhd meds, and unsurprisingly, I seem to be crawling back into my #sk8theinfinity hyperfixation. 🙃

"After all, a society that takes care of its own does not produce children who grow up dreaming of burning it down." (Heavenly Tyrant, 207-208) Thank you, @xiranjayzhao.bsky.social, for giving words to this feeling I've wrestled with all my life.

𝙰𝚛𝚝 𝚃𝚒𝚖𝚎 🎨 𝙿𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚊 𝚃𝚘𝚍𝚍𝚕𝚎𝚛 Just thought I would share the page of paint scribbles my 2 year old and I put together the other day. Sometimes it’s fun just to create without pressure. ❤️

𝚄𝚖𝚒 𝚡 𝙰𝚜𝚌𝚘𝚝 🎨 𝙵𝚊𝚗𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚁𝚎𝚍𝚛𝚊𝚠 This is technically a redraw of a fanart I drew all the way back in February 2005. Wild to think that’s almost exactly twenty years ago! 😱 #fanart #digitalart

Happy #NationalSweaterDay 😊 It’s always a great day to see LeVar Burton and Mister Rogers smiling in their sweaters while reading a book 💛

𝙾𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚕 𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜 💕 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚢? Just a couple of guys really thinking about kissing each other… Leth and Barrick from the story I’m currently working on. This was tough in a lot of ways for me but I’m pretty happy with how it came out. #originalcharacters #digitalart

𝙵𝚊𝚗𝚊𝚛𝚝 🎨 𝚄𝚖𝚒 𝚡 𝙰𝚜𝚌𝚘𝚝 Magic Knight Rayearth was another manga/anime I got into pretty early. Umi and Ascot were one of my favorite ships (I just never got the Umi/Clef vibe 🤷🏻‍♀️). So here’s a drawing of Umi playing around, totally oblivious to Ascot’s giant crush on her. #fanart

What’s a character that you can draw from memory even years later because you were so obsessed with them as a kid/teen?

Another set of characters from a book I’m working on. Evaine, Mernid, and Ogden. #digitalart #originalcharacters

Some of the characters from a book I’m working on. Barrick, Leth, and Aladia. #digitalart #originalcharacters

𝙷𝚒𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚘 𝚡 𝙷𝚊𝚢𝚊𝚝𝚎 🌷 𝙿𝚛𝚎𝚝𝚎𝚊𝚛 Himeno and Hayate were one of my top tier ships of the early 2000’s. I just loved their back and forth dynamic and the steady build of affection over the course of the series. There’s also something to be said for their a+ color palette. #digitalart #fanart

Gonna be rolling some of my art through here to hopefully kickstart things on my account.

Anxiety during the DAY too? Now that’s just against the rules, brain.

Book feelings

Do you consider there to be a difference between romantasy and a fantasy romance? If so what do you think is the difference?
