You really gotta crank ur brightness to appreciate this one but I’m still so so so pleased with how this came out. Some of my OG characters 🫶🏻

I’ll make a proper post for it later but I’ve just finished “I Was A Teenage Slasher” !! I brought along another book thankfully for when I return home (am traveling) ((it is very cold please stay warm and dry best you can, all!))

I'm late to make my post for WWWD, I honestly though I had already posted about it, but it was a nice read with a section I actually took a photo of to share~ There are many moments I could have done so, but I settled on my favorite passage. I'll include it below. More thoughts in ALT! #👑🍒📙

I’ve been slacking in my reading but I have been thoroughly enjoying Z Nation. It’s my first watch of it despite it airing in 2014, and I’m nearly done with S2!! Been hesitant to post about it for fear of spoilers but it’s really good and I’ve been spending a good chunk of free time watching it~

In case y’all forgot my ult group is SKZ 🫶🏻 Since like…. Jan 21 2020 lol. Big STAY over here. They are amazing live and easily one of my favorite shows I’ve been to~

Chatted with a coworker today and found out not only does she know and like the same kpop groups as me, but she is into more than I would have expected & we had a good little yap!! Y’all don’t understand, I always have to show my irls my groups. This was a rarity. We’ve worked together for years!!

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 871: Don't be afraid to embrace the many things that make human beings interesting. Not all your characters need to be versions of you.

@semaalo.bsky.social has done an incredible job telling HEIST's story through art! We worked out details and such pretty easily and I couldn't be happier with the final outcome! If you have the means and wish to commission semochka I truly encourage it! I added some details in the ALT text~ #👑🍒🎨

Hello any and all new followers! Call me HEIST! HEIST is a four-armed fusion of a fell-to-earth-alien humanoid and a true down-to-earth born-on-earth human! I draw sometimes, write occasionally, voice act when I can, watch a lot of movies, listen to a lot of music, and I post about it all here!

Hoping for a fun zombie themed birthday gathering where I make and decorate a yummy matcha & raspberry cake but first I must make the logistics work with the people I want to invite. In the meantime have a look at my cake-idea sketches: ( #👑🎨🍒 < sketches count!)

A message for you all to carry through the year

The coworker I made this for doesn’t have bsky so I can post what I made for her for Xmas! (She hasn’t received it yet) Paint pens are fun!! #👑🎨🍒

Ebooks are reading. Audiobooks are reading. Graphic novels are reading. Pulp reading is reading. Adults reading YA is reading. It's all good, my friends. Don't let anyone tell you different.

Tell your friends you love them. This isn't meant to be ominous. Everything's good (knocks on wood) but it just feels nice, bro. Telling the boys I love them, I'm glad they're my friends, in my life... then of course we go back to roasting each other, but the people you care about should know.

I think you should get weirder and freakier about their writing next year. Expel the thoughts of "is this too much? too strange? too out there?" fuck it, we ball. Break the ancient seal cast upon ye. Unleash the inner esoteric thing within clawing, begging to wreak creative havoc.

Trying to write again after taking a long break feels like those videos where guys clear street drains and they have to stand in the whirlpool and stab at the debris and then it just WHOOSH-es and suddenly the water is draining again and oh look now the water is running clear! I’m still stabbing ~

I’m late to post but these are the cute guitar picks I painted for a friend of mine! Fear not, I sealed them so they wouldn’t chip 🤓 #👑🎨🍒

Played through all of Dispatch - great game!! I did it in two sessions, got the good/no romance ending~ Loved the cast and animation, the story was great as well - please expect to see some Dispatch art on here

I got some books for xmas! After I finish “When Women Were Dragons”, I now have an exciting line up to choose from 🤓 I am so glad I picked up reading again, it really fills the Brain Well~ #👑🍒📙

Got some books for xmas :3 Shall post pics in a bit~ Watching Space Jam rn

I finished Things in Nature Merely Grow a few days ago. It was the type of book you have to hold and make space for - it will make you think about things that maybe you hadn't previously considered. It was a great read, I felt like I was having a sit down with the author and hearing her speak~ #👑🍒📙

Happy Solstice ❄️

A coworker of mine recently got me some ATLA MTG cards and I had just the right colors at work to doodle these two… 🤓 #👑🎨🍒

Isn’t it amazing the way life can seem too short, and intrinsically magical, yet at the same time feel like a long, uphill road, potholed with fuckwits?

EVERYONE GET MORE PASSIONATE AND SELF INDULGENT ABOUT CREATIVITY AND BEING HUMAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you write a book, you actually write several books. There's the one you know you wrote. Then there's the one your readers bring their experiences to. Suddenly your book becomes lots of different books, all equally valid. But the book someone presumes you wrote? That can always fuck off.

i have a wonderful generative tool. it's called my brain

I have DnD this week too 👀🤓

I’ll be starting “Things in Nature Merely Grow” today~ wish me strength

Rob Reiner directed some of the most beloved movies of all time, including Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.

Every day I consider a writing retreat far into the woods in a lil cabin for productivity sake but also mental health

🎬HeistRecs ▶ Swiss Army Man (2016) ⋆⭒˚.⋆⋆｡‧˚ʚ🍒ɞ˚‧｡⋆༄˖°.🍂.ೃ࿔*:･⋆⭒ R | 1h 37m | ★★★★☆ Comedy, tragedy, surrealism, drama and more. Best to go in blind, if possible.

Y'all. I Who Have Never Known Men has not devastated me so much as it has moved me, yet I feel the heaviness of grief and the need to read it several times over. It's a short and powerful read, I'll include the blurb and more thoughts in the ALT text~ I'll be thinking about IWHNKM for a while. #👑🍒📙

What a lot of people on the internet don't seem to realise is that a vital part of reading between the lines is also reading the actual lines.

Finished Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees today! I really enjoyed it. It’s a simple, fast paced story with lovely art and in the back it even shows alternate cover options they have/had! Since it’s short I won’t say much more about it but it’s a good little horror read! #👑🍒📙

Why do people still to this day Not Enjoy/Understand Swiss Army Man? It’s such an underrated film simply because Radcliffe plays a gassy corpse. It is a very deep film!! Get over the fart jokes and watch it!! I’ll “heist rec” it later. It’s literally Dan-Rad and Paul Dano, y’all !! The film is 9y/o!

My books arrived yesterday! They are all pretty thin so I may get to finish them all before the new year! I might start with the graphic novel just bc it is thinnest + I’m unreasonably excited to read about rival serial killers in cutesy animal form~ #👑🍒📙 <Tagging bc these will be my upcoming reads~

I need to do more shopping but I also have the Art Itch and crave to finish (or at least work on) a WIP when I get home

I’ve had BOMN stuck in my head the past two (2) days

Drawing with my mouse means I have trouble making actual sketches with all the lines first, I kind of draw blobbish lines of poses and run with it. When I work with traditional materials, I seem to Only Ever sketch, maybe some minor color details. Media can & will change how you work! It’s ok + fun!

Gotta do some Xmas shopping and finish my own list today !!

Cinnamon in my nose yet again… this is why my dnd character is named Cinnamon Kills (no I’m not joking)

I use Bookshop! You can choose a library to support directly as long as they are connected with the site! They do also have a great selection of titles~

I work at a library, and mine and lots of others offer patrons the chance to request materials through inter-library loan, or even to purchase for your library! If there's something you want to see, talk to a librarian about it, and they'll help you out! I love libraries!!!

The books I ordered got delayed in shipping 😔
