The downside of writing the Ashtara fluffy short story is that Ashrah is making me hungry :x

So, this is absolutely wild, but... either my perpetual licence for CSP vanished without a trace or I dreamt that I bought it in the first place. Here's the thing: two years ago, when I bought the tablet, it came with a two-year free subscription. I barely used CSP during this time and thought +

#AwesomeCharacters Ashrah has been a member of various devil armies throughout the millennia. She found the most success as a general to Azzer'fir, the Paragon of Agony, who also taught her a lot more about warfare. More recently, she was forced to be part (1/7) #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah

I swear, if something will make me give Wuchang the middle finger, it's these humanoid bosses. One more obnoxious than the other, now I can't even land two hits against this piece of shit because she keeps teleporting away and summoning tracking projectiles. This shit is NOT my definition of fun!

QRP with how you draw black women !

No AI! All done in Krita.

No AI! As I said before and proudly say again: my drawings are bad, but they're not soulless slop! First two were done in Krita, the other two in Clip Studio Paint.

QRP with how you draw women!

If you don’t know what writers actually feel about AI, you haven’t been paying attention to us. (Lucky you, we have a survey and a blog post about it: ellipsus.com/blog/survey-...) TL;DR: The writing world is not in the grips of "AI fever." @nymag.com - want to know more? We’re available.

There is something deeply unsettling (and consistent) to me about how we collectively do not value the natural world enough to care for it but we take such puerile cynical exploitative pleasure in sharing AI generated images of animals for ‘cute’, clicks and/or money.

#WIPSnips 30. “Silent” After yesterday’s brutal snippet, I’m going with “silence” today to share this cute snippet (for Ashrah’s standards in EF, this is cute!) #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #CaptainNitara #Ashtara #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

a very short snip from “The Shimmering Grime” for today's #WIPSnips word: “silent” You can read it here: www.patreon.com/posts/152354... #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteEditSubmit #AmWriting #AmEditing

#WIPSnips Word of the day is silent. From Making Utopia. -Eve meets Vermin for the first time…he makes sure she isn’t an alien or robot. #WritingCommunity #Writing

I love that there's a Mother Askani card in Marvel SNAP, and I keep calling her [ash-ka-nee] as if she were from Kraslya 😭😂

I finished writing a heist story this week, and there are a bunch of lines I loved, but I can't share others (too spoilery) so here's the one I can :D Bonus A. hectic/crazy… not much to complain about though. i guess. #writingcommunity #writesky #writingsky #writingcommunity

#FaveLineFriday Wrote this just yesterday, and it instantly became my favourite. Yes, I'm writing a fluffy #Ashtara short story for Pride 🥰 And my week was good, thank you for asking! #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #CaptainNitara #LesFic #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

New look at Spider-Man and The Punisher in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ 🕷️ ☠️ (via Empire Magazine)

My most recent release is The Need for Dandelions! I think what I love the most about it is how the relationship between Galen and Sasha forms and how the support they have for each other helps them overcome hardship. Cover by @nooskadraws.bsky.social

My most recent creation is available for preorder. It's funny! And angry! Ride around an amazing faerie city on mass transit whilst solving a murder! Cover by the incredibly talented @isbergillustration.bsky.social books2read.com/book-Erosion

Name Her Holy is my first book, about a dead god among the stars, the Herald of the End and the transfem Valkyrie who joins up to fight with her. I did the cover, but I have to give a shoutout @ciociababa.bsky.social for this incredible animated cover! the-hallowed.carrd.co

Garden of Rotten Roses is the 2nd book in my #WorldWithoutLove series. And GoRR gives us a unique chance to see a more slice-of-life, even sweet (sometimes), part of the usually brutal Aphrocalypse, and I love that 💜 Cover by David Leahey on Reedsy. Link for the books: linktr.ee/NicoleHidalg...

#mememay 29 A bit more zeroed on my WIP than intended, but my own music is relaxing for me to write to and soothing in grief. Here’s a raw excerpt of an early part of Drisal & Rushak’s theme, The Work, with the core motifs thereof. Me in hoodie, playing brown upright not well, in messy house.

#Mememay 29. When writing, I most often listen to instrumental songs, which usually means video game soundtracks and Asian instrumentals. The albums for The Last of Us (both games) continue to be among my favourites 💜 tidal.com/album/204763...

#LesFicFri *wink* The real ones know. #lesfic #sapphic

#LesFicFri "Wink" Kira and her ~unnerving~ winks! (There are some characters that you just *know* readers are going to ship... these two are one of them 😂) #ChroniclesOfTheRealms #MileenaSuêòng #LesFic #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

Kind of intrigued by people who very much want men to be better, and instead of holding men accountable toward this end, they decide to scream at lesbians endlessly instead.

#QueerPrompts 29. Ashrah is this fierce, talented, magical, beautiful demon warrior and I am... well, me 😂

May 29th – silent #AnthropomorphicNovel, today! Someone wasn’t particularly keen on letting Ray escape this burning building. cw: violence, language #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Occasionally, I feel the need to insert a point on mythology that I feel very strongly. Dionysus got to be my mouthpiece this time. #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writesky

Melody remembers a moment with her son at a water park. 🪷 From my spec fic, ResortWIP. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmQuerying 📚💙

Silent | We're continuing with Duggy's conversation from our previous snip. Despite Bobby's attitude, they split up amicably. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #bvm #bipoc #amwriting #Fantasy #SFF

In which Fen's family discusses his mental health right in front of him but doesn't bother to ask what he thinks. #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writesky #writingprompts

#SFFChat Q4. There are quite a few moments like these when characters will employ terms and words from their own language. Here, Nitara asks, "Are you all right?" in Kraslan. #ChroniclesOfTheRealms

#SFFChat Q2. I have, so far, at least an alphabet and a few grammar rules for each of the main languages I mentioned in the previous post. As an example, here's a poem in Tió'aê, the language of the Kingdom of Ophádûn in Edenia (it's read from bottom to top). And if you want to see the (1/2)

#SFFChat Q1. There are multiple languages in #ChroniclesOfTheRealms, but we also have the Common language, which is kind of an amalgamation of the main languages of the five Great Realms (excluding the sixth, the Netherrealm) created by the Council of Realms. Not all characters speak it, though.

#SFFChat Intro. Hey, all, Nicole/Ashrah here. I only really speak Portuguese and English. But I have a good understanding of Spanish, know a bit of Gaeilge, and am currently studying Indonesian and Chinese. To be fair, I should know more languages if I had actually stuck with my studies 😅

Black Cat

A little break from demon hunting

Random Mileena lore drop: When she was young and still learning to command her magic, she accidentally teleported *inside* a dĩn’ay. Desperate and unable to teleport out, she only learnt her mistake when the dĩn’ay opened itself, cradled her in its arms, and carried her out. Ops! #MileenaSuêòng

Saw someone with a suspicious name in my notifications, and the finger got ready to press that block button, but... phew! False alarm. The spiritual shield Ashrah erected continues to work in our favour to repel the clowns 😎
