If I truly lock in I know I could make progress in all my WIPs and yet….

My Barbie phone should get here on Monday………………

Unfortunately I will continue to post super vaguely about my OCs because I feel if I share too much I’ll jinx my ability to finish the WIPs they are part of 🥲

Thinking about my OCs interacting with each other is so funny not only because their genres are all so different from each other but also because that equates in my mind to they’d only meet via play-date or run into each other at store. Maybe a few break and enter into the same building or sumn haha

One of my OCs is like a sludge-y dude, like a slimy *thing* when not mimicking something else, and for some reason I imagine him and HEIST getting along swimmingly. Two locked up experiments bonding over hatred of testing and fear of capture 😭 He’d copy their arm alignment and they’d probably scream

🦋Bluesky tips 🦋 - there's no commercial algorithm here, so social is back in social media: Share, interact, and talk to others. - Use the feeds. They're your custom algorithm - Starterpacks are recommendations made by others for followers - Use tags, they WORK! + Sort posts into the right feeds

as a writer it's vitally important to have 3-10 wips so that when one of them isn't working you can cycle through the others in proxy productivity. this will allow you to continuously be Not Quite Done with so many projects at the same time

So far I’m really enjoying the lovely bones - seeing the movie first allows me to stop worrying about what may happen and that in turn allows me to study how the book is written and the pacing and noticing all the differences and added details between the two versions feels like an Easter egg hunt.

As always, today is a great day to support artists, writers, creators of all sorts. If you have the means, buy a book, sign up for someone's Patreon, commission an art piece. It's also a lovely day to leave a nice comment, post a short review, spread the word about someone's work. Everything helps.

I want to write something just so I can hire talented people and pay them handsomely

I'm terrible at video games but I'm good at being a friend

I may or may not have caved in and got the barbie phone secondhand....... I cannot help it I have been looking out for a used one for a hot minute and have been wanting a flip phone secondary for a hot second as well.... it has a mirror on the front.... it has a loop to attach charms.... come ON

Give them flowers while they’re still alive. Reach out to teachers that helped you. Tell that stranger you like their outfit. Thank a friend for always listening to you. Write a letter and become a penpal with someone despite having their phone number.

Once again feeling inspired to draw landscapes that only exist in my dreamscapes

I AM SO EXCITED YALL DONT EVEN KNOWW!! Ronan is easily my favorite character in TRC and Dream Thieves is probably my favorite of the four books (it’s 2/4 in TRC) #👑🍒📙

It is cloak & cape season. I encourage you all to wear the cloaks/capes you’ve been hiding away due to heat or other weather concerns. Buy one if you’d like to and are able. Why not? It’s cape season!

I can't stop thinking about that article about how people literally can't read because they're basically taught to guess over the last like two decades and like. It's really starting to make why people will respond aggressively, agreeing with what you said but convinced you said the opposite

Shout out to everyone completely demoralized about the state of the world who still manages to get out of bed each morning. And shout out to you, too if you’re still in bed. This shit is hard. Talk to your friends and neighbors. They’re going though it too, which is both terrifying and comforting.

If the work is any good, has any substance whatsoever, every reader that participates in it will come away with something different. Maybe broad strokes close to the same, but still different. The desire to control the work, to dictate the only interpretation, is pathology.

My first "ramble" on my strawpage has been posted! Woohoo!! I'm going to try and put more stuff up on there now that I'm back home~ Check out my site here: basementheist.straw.page (The link to 'rambles' is at the bottom, and will be added to over time along with the rest of my site!)

This song is….. 12 years old….. already? This song is low-key dedicated to one of my OCs who may or may not be SCP-ish. Akin to an SCP. An SCP to-the-left. An ode to SCPs. I have not posted anything about him here but I can’t hear this without him coming to mind~ #HeistRadio

Wanted to take another shot at Toothless/ night furies for a while and how I’d reimagine it. Nothing much changes, based him heavily on Swifts and rays

Gambits reveal trailer for rivals was so sick it looks like I may have to brawl my bf for him

I’ve returned from seeing my lover boy and playing games with him as a teammate again is my main solace LOL

"do it scared" is valuable advice but it'd also be SIIIICK and AWESOME if it stopped being scary at some point. any point

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 111: Treat the process of creating a character like that of getting to know a friend. Let them talk. See what you find out. Don't expect to know them fully the first time you meet them on the page. Tease out their past, their secrets. Allow them to surprise you.

THIS IS THE VAMPIRE HOTEL! YOUR BLOOD SLIPS AWAY EVERY NIGHT! BUT WHY WONT YOU CHECK OF OUT HERE? THIS IS THE VAMPIRE HOTEL! YOU ARE TRAPPED IN THE VAMPIRE HOTEL! IF YOU STAY YOUR BLOOD WILL BE DRAINED OUT! OH WHY WONT YOU CHECK OUT OF HERE? THIS IS THE VAMPIRE HOTEL! 🧛🩸⛓️

Just saw I had shared this previously….. it still gets stuck in my head hahaha

I’m coming home soon…. I’m gonna make you a STARRRRR YEAHHHH…. we gonna make ya… a star…. We gonna make ya a STARRRR ✨⭐️💫 #HeistRadio

I've been obsessed with Fan Behavior for almost as long it has been out (4 yrs!!) and it is STILL severely underrated. I beg y'all to indulge. It almost wasn't even on the EP! Such a vibe. A mindset even. #HeistRadio

This has no reason to go so hard and yet here I am imagining a custom MV in my brain 🏎️🏁 #HeistRadio

Another EVEN LESS KNOWN banger from 3 years ago! This is another one that I can proudly say I have known for a long time. I sing this in my head all the time. (King Killian, Basement Heist... King + Basement... yeah. Fitting isn't it?) ((If you like Conan Gray, you may like this!)) #HeistRadio

I know I shared this entire album’s *live version [A BLOODSUCKER by Zior Park] but Feel So Strange is for sure one of my favorites from it. I love the whole album though, which is why I shared the whole album LOL. If y’all don’t know Zior Park, please indulge in his discography #HeistRadio

Friends, if you have the means to donate to a local food pantry financially via online giving, I highly encourage you to do that. But I don’t want to discount the importance of actually showing up at the pantry, even if it is just to drop off food. (1/5)

A painter is an artist A photographer is an artist A digital illustrator is an artist A traditional illustrator is an artist A sculpter is an artist A writer is an artist A musician/singer is an artist A crafter is an artist An AI Generator is NOT an artist. An AI 'Prompter' is NOT an artist.

Hey can you do me a favor and transform with me to be a larger boss monster? Yeah the hero is coming so can we use our magic to become greater than the sum of our parts? Could you invite a few friends too? I don't want to fight them by myself. I would really appreciate it.

I have a WIP strawpage site if any of y’all are interested! The bottom has links to the books I’ve read so far this year, some of my OCs and a page for my rambles (all of these are the WIP part) but I really enjoy how it’s looking if you’d like a peek: basementheist.straw.page

House Rules #MTG

✨There’s a possssssibilityyyyyyy 🎶🎵

[thunder crashes, lightning strikes.] [everything is tinted blue and suddenly, you see a baseball whizz by your head, as if hit by a bat, wielded with inhuman strength…] Y’all know what time of year it is! #HeistRadio

Everyone please cross your fingers (or something equal to that) with me for this. Hello Sunshine was such a great read and I’d love to see their story go on 😭

I’ve had a long week but I get some time off after my shift today. I have a few small plans during my trip but otherwise maybe I’ll get some doodles, reading and writing done 👀 Maybe. Hopefully.

just an FYI, when I say “my writing” there's: the writing I publicly share, then there's the writing I keep in my folders, and then there's the earth's molten core, and below THAT there's the "writing" that exists only in cool scenes I imagine in the format of a movie while I fall asleep every night
