happy public domain day!! the original Nancy Drew is public domain in the US now but her friend George (who is a girl) didnt premier till 1931. one more year till i can publish my Nancy Drew yuri

when readers leave comments on my webnovel

Lellindel (aka Lelly) was born from the realization a dungeon crawl would be boring if it was all killing. She ended up becoming a bigger part of the rest of the story and in Volume 2 she even gets side chapters exploring her own perspective while the main party is far away.

I often get lost in the world building and research rabbit holes, so a fantasy setting that I largely made up as I drafted volume 1 as ideal and all that experience with unfinished world building projects guides decisions so it wasn't a waste afterall

actually laying in bed with a tummy ache is part of what makes me cool and interesting. your tummy doesn't hurt? embarrassing...

sometimes i have a subject i want to write fiction about but i have such high hopes for the the story that i can't get anywhere with it. perfectionism is the antithesis of creation

watched Knives Out for the first time. very very good i see what people were saying. i figured most of the mystery halfway through (it was funny watching my wife try to pretend i didnt nail it on the head. she was trying so hard not to laugh) and i loved watching the puzzle pieces come together

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

@bsky.app @support.bsky.team please add the 'translate' link to account bios. i cant even copy paste the text manually on mobile. please and thank you

any good starter packs i should check out as a fantasy author, fan of animation and speculative fiction/art?

i want to see trans women in animation and not as a gag or an insult. i love the medium of animation but there has been so much harm done to trans girls by transmisogynistic cartoons that has hardly been addressed let alone rectified. its exhausting...

"What exactly IS a Goblin?" Featuring Noelle the christmas goblin and Tinsel the Elf. Happy Holidays y'all!

the Cow-Dog and Cottonscale are two of the cutest, fluffy creatures in my webnovel but there are truly so many cute ones. honestly my webnovel is partly an excuse to commission as many cute and/or freaky monster portraits as I can from @botjira.bsky.social

the Crow-Lion is the first monster introduced and is slain by the MC (Thesa) before she starts to deconstruct her upbringing. Crow-Lions are gross but can be friendly if you know how to interact with them (art commissioned from @botjira.bsky.social)

I love a truly massive sea creature beyond understanding 💖

The largest varieties of Dirt Construct might count or else the Mawlasses. Both are construct. There's a much larger, naturally occuring monster that I'm not ready to spoil yet hehe... (art commissioned from @botjira.bsky.social)

The foxtapus is one of my favorite magic animals in my webnovel. It has psychic abilities and also its adorable imo. (art commissioned from @botjira.bsky.social)

Dudes Rock

Have yourself a yuri little Christmas Make those bitches gay

latest chapter of Paladin to Witch is up. somebody is going to lose something in this chapter hehe

Same grift; different grifters (the student just so happens to be the daughter of a prominent J6 grifter)

i refilled my estradial last week but now i cant find the bottle i shouldnt be responsible for this. there should be a strong and kind trans girl who goes around everyday and delivers my estrogen right to me. and she should get good benefits and salary

i had a dream that i was late for tech Sunday for a production of Bye Bye Birdie... i haven't done theater in over a decade

"She was never a little kid who could get a puppy and be happy about it. If you’d given her a puppy, she would immediately have started worrying about what if she trained it wrong, what if it ran away. She would already be sad that it would die." Nevada by Imogen Binnie still goes hard

some of my best prose comes together during last minute edits the night before a chapter is scheduled to post usually i just try to catch line edits, bust sometimes i finally find the way i want to express something

maybe its embarrassing that i keep having dreams where Infinity Train gets brought back but its more embarrassing that the mega corporate merger would cancel one of the best animated television shows of all time

can't believe i just found out about the Wastelandia pilot youtu.be/qP9pa0F8bfs?... it's so good

i cannot believe pokemon fans recoiled in fear at the dex entries which implied mega evolutions cause pokemon pain. that's like the coolest part dude. "guy powers up so hard he hurts himself" is dumb shonen powerup 101. why do you think goku screams when he goes super saiyan

do I seem anxious to you do i seem backed into a corner as if i had to make a move but you could tell i didnt wanna (leaf pile by the front bottoms) what can i say? my emo phase never ended

what the hell the first volume of Love Bullet made me ugly cry 😭 so please go read it to join my crying club

I need to stop psyching myself out and get back to submitting short stories to magazines. I used to do it A Lot and then during lockdown I couldn't get anything published and I lost steam

listen im not trying to start drama but i just saw someone say Harry Truman is their favorite president and like... the atom bomb guy? the only guy to ever atom bomb anyone and he did it twice? thats your favorite? i dont have a favorite president because theyre all trash

hey why is my spelling suggestion haunted?

I had this weird idea for a short, turn-based RPG so I got the demo of RPG Maker MV and have been messing with it for a few days. Just tried to test my game, it crashed, and deleted my entire project. Apparently this issue has existed since at least 2018. Avoid RPG Maker MV.

This week's chapter of Paladin to Witch features a run in with a riddle-posing 'Ground Sphinx' not taxonomical related to the Sphinx, but it has an analogous body plan and uses riddles What does the Ground Sphinx (and Sphinx) get out of trapping people with riddles? What do you think?

🌸 presentation post 🌸 I'm Chloé, 2D/concept artist in the video games industry & comic artist ✨ I draw lots of women - most of them sapphic -, I love lineart & vibrant colors, & I'll sometimes be annoying about playing Go

omg someone is mad that Thesa stole something lmao of all the things to get flack for i never expected something so pedestrian watch out for my webnovel where a character steals one thing and then is immediately consumed by shame and guilt because she broke a rule (she's new to being 'evil')

i just watched a video about ai image generation and it made me legitimately nauseous. i need to decrease my internet usage significantly cause that stuff is getting harder to spot

dont let the haters fool you. the FNAF 2 movie is a solid follow up. its cheesy, funny, and quite scary at times imo (i have low fear tolerance tho). anyone complaining the plot was a mess obviously never sat through a 40+ minute 'Final FNAF Timeline' videos. this level of coherency is impressive

Meet the characters in Paladin to Witch: Witmie (she/her) is a half-elf fighter who likes to punch and was cursed (blessed?) with rabbit ears after a magical transformation. She's pretty much up for anything as long as her girlfriend Durn is there.

Meet the characters in Paladin to Witch: Yabba (it/its) is a Yabaga, or Nest Walker. Thesa’s summoned familiar, this strange little baby is endlessly curious and makes incomprehensible creaking sounds. Although hesitant at first, Thesa's affection for her strange creature is a bit obnoxious.

Meet the characters in Paladin to Witch: Lelly (she/her) is an awkward naiad druid with an interest in Mundane Fiction (MunFi) like 'Reincarnated as a Human Woman in a World Without Magic?!' and 'Otherside [Dungeon]'. She is willing to help Merijest’s cause but isn't suited to combat.

Meet the characters in Paladin to Witch: Merijest (she/her) is a sexy demoness, a High Devil with a cool head and an intimidating aura. She's got a few secrets hidden behind her sharp-toothed smile.

Meet the characters in Paladin to Witch: Thesa (she/her) is a half-elf, himbo ex-Paladin with a broken oath and mommy issues. She was raised in the knights' convent where she struggled to make friends. She's bad at talking to people but her handsome looks make charisma her highest stats.
