Somewhere between the earth and the atmosphere

A necromancer AND a gardener 🌼🪦

In Mermaid's Blood, the rival character, Ishmael, foils the protagonist, Aashirya. Both are apprentices of a famous pirate, and both convey themes of revenge and grief. But, where one learns to move on, the other does not. #writersky #indie

I actually forgot to show my current work in progress here! #wip #art

My painting OCEAN GLOW

Sent the last draft of my wlw #SleepingBeauty retelling, Talia's Curse, for final edits! Hoping to have it published by early June. #indie #booksky #💙📚

Switching between POVs mid chapter. I'm trying to work on it by going to a new chapter whenever there's a POV change, and lowering the number of characters I have at a time.

Some more art for my upcoming Sleeping Beauty retelling, wherein the prince and sleeping beauty meet each other in a dream realm (and they're both women) (She/Him for Valeria💚) (She/Her for Esperanza💜) #yuri #sleepingbeauty #fairytale #wlw

Currently working on: Talia's Curse: my wlw Sleeping Beauty retelling In which the prince and sleeping beauty share the curse and communicate in a dream realm to work together to break the curse (and they're both girls) #TBBChat

When reading Sleeping Beauty, I think how cool it'd be if the prince and queen shared the curse.💀 When dreaming, the prince enters the dream realm the queen is trapped in.🌟 They work together to break the curse before it affects the prince. 🧙‍♀️ So I wrote it (+ they're both girls) #books #💙📚 #wlw

It's also very limiting how some readers disregard characters as tools to tell a story and instead treat them as real people, or mere self projections from the author. Where's the analyzing and picking apart what the author is trying to say?

Today, I've been working on my wip for Wilted Lilacs, which is about a haunted girl in the woods who will grant you your heart's desire. ... For a price. I have part 1 done, part 2 is almost done, and.... I didn't plan on a part 3, but certain characters need one.

Turns out, coming up with Random Bullshit to fix story elements that happen because of loosely defined magic is really difficult lmfao

Really wish I could have done more for Mermay, but I'm not the type of person that can draw every day (even if I could... I wouldn't want to haha), and I'm glad I could at least draw more of my babygirl.

Reposting my two favorite badass ladies- Lyn and Lucina. #art #fireemblem #lucina #lyn #repost

here's a lil protip: don't shit on your fans/followers, stereotype them negatively, and especially ESPECIALLY do not try to complain or guilt trip them into supporting you its ugly, unprofessional, and it just makes you look like a bitter asshole yet i see ppl doing it all the time, knock it off

I've said before I'll say again: I've seen ultra-skilled artists with absolutely abysmal numbers because they can't stop whining on main about it, or whining about how their peers get more traffic. People notice it, it's unbecoming, it's *why you're not getting hired for anything.*

It's been a long week. Rest here, weary wanderer. You deserve it.

Understandable. If someone told me I inspired them to start drawing, I'd cry tears of joy

み、みないでー！

ok here's one of my faves

Venus Flytrap

i used to think my hair was so "difficult" to manage and takes "too much effort" then i realized that's just societal bs talking once again. all hair takes effort, i just put extra time and care into mine, and that's fine

Curious pond visits the surface

I wanna draw more Beatrix. I'm not really satisfied with how I used to draw her; I sucked at drawing plys sized people. I wanna draw her how she deserves: big and beautiful!

please understand. artists don't get nearly as much feedback (praise, comments or otherwise) as you think they do. much less than years and years ago. we don't know how much you like it. we don't know how it affected you. unless you say something, or recommend it, comment, reblog. anything.

Yooooooooo why did no one tell me Cloudy With a Chance Of Meatballs is like, am actual really good fucking movi with th best 3D animation ever???????????

Lol at first I thought this meant actual medicine djsjshhgggf Aashirya could use a good dose of "get over your abusive dad" ... And Tylenol --

On a writing break and I don't feel bad about it because I will not let social media algorithms influence how I do something I love.

You ever spend the whole day wanting to write, but whenyou finally get the chance, you only put out like...400 words? Well, at least it's not AI #antiai #writesky #indie #💙📚

Oh, absolutely. Mermaid's Bloopd was largely inspired by Unicorn Wars (while I did use the same concept of drinking blood giving immortality, mine was much more literal than UW's) And Wilted Lilacs was inspired by Rumpelstiltskin and various children's ghost stories
