i forgot time existed for the past month what happened

New story launched! Come check out Just Add Mana (which abbreviates to JAM, a fact that will not come back to haunt me, probably.) www.royalroad.com/fiction/1251...

recorded myself reading the first chapter and had to immediately edit how many times i used the word mana

what if a suit of armor also wore a suit

jam is unironically the most fun ive had writing a story i hope everyone enjoys this goober as much as i do

oh my god can people just reply with their hands why do they need to use ai for everything

JAM loredump #1: magic academies function as probability traps that (in most cases) contain fate-related magic from spiraling out of hand. this is because they constantly have disasters anyway

Cale's claimed feats include, as of C1: - defeating a basilisk with duct tape (allegedly)

finally starting to (pre) release chapters of Just Add Mana (which is essentially fantasy Doctor Who) planning to release the series proper on RoyalRoad in a couple weeks now that DRR is done. soon Cale and his five brain cells will enter the public sphere!

"back in 2019--" what do you MEAN how do people remember what year things happened in?? i don't even remember what year it was last week!!

The King of Oozes treasures dearly the gifts of his friends... As well as the bones of his enemies. 👑💀 --- Commission for Quetzhal.

at this point 'living suit of armor' might as well be some sort of weird signature that i add to all my stories (i think cale's swordsmanship instructor should be animated armor and they should flirt a lot)

i don't know how the bluesky algorithm works sometimes it scares me

When people say that ”things were better back in the day,” I can only assume they're talking about 1983 frog phone

I keep getting these weird mobile ads that have excerpts of what I assume is some sort of supernatural romance book, which like, hey, whatever floats your boat. ...but also, censoring that "sucked" makes this so much worse, lmao. Why is it censored? Is the breath-sucking somehow lewd???

my phone notifications are making a funny face at me

standing with an escalator to my back is dangerous because i repeatedly forget it's behind me and try to lean on it and then get dragged to the side

crossover when...

Ridiculously excited to work on my next story. It's a really fun concept and the MC, as a one-line pitch, is the type of MC to get past a sphinx by giving it a ball of yarn and then go "What? It's still a cat."

Weremoth from last year’s weretober 🦋🌕

one of these days i'm going to write a mystery novel called "Small Town Murder" or something but it's actually just about a bunch of crows trying to figure out who keeps giving them shiny things (it's me. i'm doing it.)

my bsky usage pattern is basically me forgetting about bsky for a month and then replying to everything on my timeline in an hour-long binge and then passing out

They say you put something of yourself into your work. I, for one, want giant spiders so I can pet them.

Figured out my next book concept, so that's fun! The knight-monster-romance will probably wait until I'm a better author. I feel like I have to figure out exactly how to meld progression and romance beats, and I've got ideas, but they're percolating in my drafts. Meanwhile: bisexual panic.

no context excerpt (might be spoilers)

time for bones

I should post more character art...

Book 2 of DIE. RESPAWN. REPEAT. is now out! There's a robot friend in this one. And kobolds. Who doesn't love kobolds? (I am unsure how my narrator dealt with me naming the kobolds Thys and Thaht, but I guess we'll find out in a month when the audio releases.) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Random child in restaurant: "Stop showing me TikToks and let me enjoy my life!" Same, random child. Same.

I feel like the question "Will you stay open-source for me?" has got to be incredibly intimate for robots. This is like, marriage proposal equivalent. Maybe higher.

Time for edits! Which means it's also time for "how many innuendos did Silver accidentally write without realizing". Hopefully it's zero.

i have a habit, both in writing and in real life, of accidentally putting innuendos into things. this is best exemplified by this comment from my copyeditor

Happy Valentine's!

i got sucked into a bunch of shitty mobile games while fighting burnout and forgot bsky existed

my goat..

Serpent Knight Personal painting in the year of the snake. Which animal next?

A drawing of Vex! @silverliningsrr.bsky.social

In light of recent happenings, never forget: Carry onwards and keep living

I made how I imagine the mana river to look like in edge cases. @silverliningsrr.bsky.social

making my book characters in video games be like

Alright, let's do some self-promo for once. Here's the first series I ever wrote! Edge Cases is about a team of adventurers trying to figure out what's wrong with the world they live in; it's got found family, lizard/armor queer romance, and existential horror. Link: www.amazon.com/dp/B0C92XY69T

art of riolu appeared on my timeline and my first thought was "is that a chibi v1 from Ultrakill" i think i may have a problem

hahah that doodle was from 2022 That I did inbetween a proper comission I was working on of the Disaster gay. I remember drawing so many scales!

I colored in and somewhat modified some sort of my two favorite edgecases characters. The first is the original, second is my edit. @silverliningsrr.bsky.social hope you like it!

you know how sometimes authors write themselves into corners? well, i haven't done that... but i *am* in some kind of "no matter what i do this chapter sounds like a bad metaphor for sex" jail. -squints- time for another try!

full iron prince

every time i take my ritalin i suddenly become 10 times more active on social media

i suddenly realized i have done no signaling that i'm queer and messaged a friend going "wait do people think i'm straight" and they replied "as if you could hide the sun with your hand LMAO" thanks @conopskeleton.bsky.social

the more i learn about various crafts the more i see how all art is interconnected its so cool how we just. make art. and all the stories we've told via our art, no matter what the medium is if i had all the time in the world i would want to learn all the crafts

and a weird guy appear
