ALICE (1988): Czech genius Jan Švankmajer's stop-motion adaptation takes Lewis Carroll's already nightmarish book and transforms it into a surreal masterpiece. Don't have nightmares!

Most men in romance novels respect boundaries, wash their balls, make sure she comes first, care about their children, are emotionally intelligent, and loyal to their relationship. And then men make fun of women reading "fluff novels." Because apparently those are unreasonable things to yearn for?

It surprised me that so many people got into that story, but it makes me so happy - maybe I should write more disgusting tales in future hehe! #insideyourscreams #horror #shortstory

It’s a week until Christmas Day and these Funko Pops have been added to our decorations! Gingerbread Ron Weasley, Batman as Ebenezer Scrooge, and Jack Skellington as Santa! 🤩🤩🎄🎄

Survival horror games, such as Resident Evil, were a huge inspiration for ‘Play, Thing’ and its aesthetic and story! So, here are six screenshots I took during my recent play of Resident Evil: Village to give a glimpse at the mood and style of my upcoming novel #plaything #residentevilvillage

SUBJECT TO CHANGE This is the current format of ‘Play, Thing’. It’s all coming together and I’m liking how it all looks. Can’t wait for when I can get a proof copy of it ☺️☺️ #plaything #horror #workinprogress #july2026

Purity culture has been staining the internet for a good while now. Everyone’s acting like fiction is a background check for morality, and it’s exhausting. It's spread like mold; turning what should be a fun time, into something people are scared to admit liking. #blog #internet #fandom

My writing ambition!

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty." — Hannah Arendt 🌱📷

An author hard at work editing his magnum opus hehehe 🤩🤩🤩

After much introspection, I’ve come to realize that my purpose in life is to convert as many people as possible to a life of books, cats, scones, and Oxford commas.

ROUGH DRAFT CHALLENGE NOVEMBER 2025 - I reached my goal in my challenge! 🤩🤩🤩 a lot of it is editing, so it’s really the word count of the newest draft. Excited for finish the novel by the end of the month and then go on to the publishing stages for ‘Play, Thing’ 🤩🤩🤩
