Dyke Knights! Now in colour!

Heated Chivalry — cheeky bit of swordplay between Duncan the Tall and Lyonel Baratheon. Painted in watercolor and gouache

Ivy with her daddy and papa (afew years apart) 🪻 #heatedrivalry #hollanov #ShaneHollander #ilyarozanov yep I'm kinda back

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

man i am trying to win by saving what i love rather than fighting what i hate but these fuckers sure don't make it easy

Lord of the Rings, fanfic dot net??, 12 There's a platonic Pippin/Boromir fic I still think about monthly and cannot find ANYwhere. But it lives in my heart 🥲

I have 2 fanfic writing modes Mode A: "I WILL DO AN HOUR OF RESEARCH TO SEE WHAT SPECIFIC TYPE OF CHEESE WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THIS GEOGRAPHICAL REGION AT THE TIME" Mode B: "im ignoring all known facts about hypothermia because i want them to fuck"

Show her some ❤️!! #Reylo #BenSolo #StarWars

My heights have not yet been wuthered, but this soundtrack sure has got me writing!

The Dracula cover I worked on is finally revealed. I am very stoked about this project, because doing a cover art for a classical book is a dream I didn't know I had, and also because they agreed to have the cover art minimalistic and elegant, and I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT IT.

edit of the day: wounded flip after an undercover shift that clearly went wrong?

Ways to purchase A FINE LINE outside the U.S. ❤️ #romancelandia #booksky hello #reylo readers!

Reason #243516 to hate AI: I can't find reference photos to show my barber that depict actual human hair and the colors/textures it can humanly achieve!

I have this dumb HC where Ilya steals Shane’s glasses and Shane doesn’t realize until Ilya makes it back to Boston and the paparazzi photos hit so I had to draw it #ilyarozanov #heatedrivalry

The wait is over! A Fine Line, my debut contemporary rivals-to-lovers romance novel, is out today!! Think Leslie Knope’s city council run in Parks and Recreation and the banter and teasing of Josh and Donna’s relationship in The West Wing! Head here for your copy! #romancelandia #booksky

*whispers* -but make it Reylo

Here's the whole shebang, because this project is fantastic 😍

My frame for this incredible project! I feel honored to be part of it 😊 #Reyloart #Reylo10years

This mohawklo ren is for all the reylos, but also @gizskyriser.bsky.social specifically 🙂‍↕️

Reylo!!! my OGs <3 <3 <3 #fannart #reylo #starwars

Haven't read this trope in a minute, but: When the MC is so pissed off they're halfway though their tirade before realizing, oh no, I'm shouting at someone who's hot 🤌🏻

Scott hunter is right next door 😡 #heatedrivalry #hollanov

The way my ears perked right the fuck up

From the bestskeeting author of the Bluesky-famous six-week Bad Bunny 101 comes this essential close reading of the halftime show! 🧵

Drawtober day 16 & 17

Here’s some sketches exploring one of my ideas for the creature from “The Terror” by Dan Simmons, and how I imagined it could work as a supernatural element while still able to be mistaken for a polar bear at a glance or in the distance~

“Is my fanfiction good” “will a lot of people read/like my fanfiction” GIRL FORGET ABOUT ALL THAT FOR A SECOND your top aspiration when writing fanfiction should be making it so weird, someone will read it at 16 and never forget it as long as they live

This is almost a month old but it brought me joy to hear this stated so well in an Appalachian accent no less!

People are so talented.

If you need some cozy Lovecraftian horror to get you through these times, Dredge is my current favorite game. Upgrade your boat, explore biomes, evade those pesky glowing eyeballs that close in at night. I love jetting around this little world 🎣

The physicality of this is awesome, but also the snake/dragon is looking at the camera like "Bob doesn't know I can lift my neck"

I just reposted Al*x Harrow, and fwiw she's a great author as well as politically active. I just finished The Everlasting, which asks what would happen if a government manipulated its own mythology via time travel to create a more militant country. Features a butch lady knight & her scholar lover 🗡️

i'm being flip but when i think about the guys who are gassing preschools and putting children in camps and killing people both on and off camera--complaining about WHISTLES--i understand why dante was like no, we need way more kinds of hell. at least nine

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Objectively I don't need this book, but subjectively my fanfic will be .000085% better if I can write one historically accurate sentence about rain.

Selkies! 🙌🏻

I just wanna be a roadside witch reanimating squashed rodents into familiars, throwing plastic bottles right back at the people who throw them out their windows, putting curses on cybertrucks, granting visions to long haul truck drivers, etc.

such a lovely thing to think about

As an American you wake up everyday in one of four moods

I have tix to see Return of the King in theaters this weekend and ngl, it makes me a lil misty-eyed to think about seeing it on a big screen again. Last time I was in middle school with my sister, this time I'll be with my husband 🥲

RED ALERT! #borgias #heatedrivalry

“If you are not to award me oatmeal and paperclips, then I will indulge in rage. And mine is infinite!” #Frankenstein ✨🎨 Gesso / Acrylic Gouache on Canvas Panel - Work in Progress

I'm watching Materialists with my husband and walking the fine line of agreeing that yes, Dakota J can't act while overall defending the romance genre 😮‍💨

Having a hard day? 1. Buy cheese and baguette 2. Put cheese on baguette 3. Chomp

If you have a Heated Rivalry hangover, try Avon Gale's hockey series! (yes I had an m/m hockey reading phase seven years ago!!!) It's set in the ECHL -- two tiers below the NHL -- so they're all scrappy and make like $12k a season and the pairings are fun and the sex often somewhat kinky 🏒

Something something Jedi academy and the sand gremlin is still getting used to *touching others* #reylo

When I saw sub-$3 gas prices, I thought He was burning through our national reserve for political points. Now I'm almost *certain* that's what's going on and someone told him we would run out and this was His bright solution.
