Hey folks! It's been really fun seeing these character intros from Little Thieves circulate, and I thought I'd put them all in one handy post for you! For folks who've read the book already, I've added Adalbrecht and Irmgard at the end there, since I did some quick-n-dirty renderings of them for a character alignment quiz. At some point I'd like to add Death and Fortune, but here's the main cast for now!

Hi!! I was thinking of changing my aesthetic a bit to dark academia, or maybe soft academia?? And was wondering if you had any tips?? Thank you!

hi!

honestly, i'm not sure if i have any tips since i really don't conform to the aesthetic irl, but i usually find a lot of inspo on pinterest or instagram. i guess whenever i study or try to do my homework, i like to make my workspace more organized and kinda "academia" in order to motivate myself to actually do my work

sorry, this really wasn't that helpful lol, but if anyone has any ideas pls share tho!

have a good day tho, anon, and i hope you succeed in getting the aesthetic you want :)))

spent a few hours on taking math notes so i better not fail

hi -liz

hi liz!!

its been a while lol. i've also been pretty inactive because of school, so its all good. stress is kinda killing me at the moment, so its why i'm taking so long so respond to asks

i honestly can't wait for break, mainly just to get some extra time to do my work (or, more realistically, relax for once). i really gotta study more, so maybe thats what i'll do (in an ideal universe). i don't really have any plans besides that tho. i hope you're doing something more interesting than i am !

i also hope we keep in contact!! pls don't stop sending these; it might take me a while but i still love reading them :)) also i'd love to read your new fic! reading people's writing is so entertaining honestly

hope you send another anon message soon :))

Hey, so i took a break rom Band on teh Run, and started working on the other fic I've been procrastiating and I really like it! I've already written 11,723 words so yay! It's another marvel one basically a what if tony stark had a daughter but also if the fantastic four and spiderman villains existed in the mcu. i won't submit it unless you want to read it, so tell me if you do! Did you finish those book essays yet ?--->

combining a few of the asks you sent bc i keep forgetting to post lmao

anyways

hello again :)))

congrats on your new fic!! and on newfound inspiration :) usually when i don't like something i write i end up in a slump for ages (its uhh....been a while since i've written anything lol)

i finished the books and the essay and i got an A!! i was honestly so surprised i didn't expect to score that high, especially since it felt last minute to me. i think its been over a year since i scored that high honestly lol

also SJKHFK can’t believe you almost shifted..... good luck with it!!

for the random ask study break: What traits do you like about yourself?

i’m good at card games i guess

Last thing that made you cry? integrals :/ Favourite quote from a movie/tv show?

my mind goes blank. i swear i have one, but i Cannot think of it for some reason What high school stereotype are you? nerd probably lmao Favourite article of clothing? sweaters :) Star sign and how much do you think you fit into the description of your star sign? taurus, and not really sure. one one hand, yeah i guess so, but on the other hand i feel like its applicable to most people. What is the best piece of advice you received?

actually study lmaoo Is love something that scares you and do you believe in soulmates/love at first sight? i don't think love scares me, but i also don't know what to expect from romantic love. and i don't believe in soulmates or love at first sight, mainly because that's just boring lol. love is made, and i don't think a relationship will ever work out if either party thinks fate brought them together and doesn't put in effort (also, maybe because when i read about these tropes, i despise them. it feels like a cheap way for the author to get out of properly developing a relationship between the two characters *cough* sjm *cough)

anyways i went way too far into rambling for the last one but whatever. until we meet again :))

[aceademic]

what if i just...

Hey everyone! Little Thieves is officially out on the shelves today, so I thought I’d make a post of places you can grab a copy!

First, this link will tell you the closest independent bookstores that have it in stock (in the right column on desktop)!

You can also order from my local indie, which would be swell!!

Bookshop dot org is a great alternative to Amazon that helps support independent bookstores as well!

Little Thieves SHOULD be in stock at your local Barnes & Noble, and you can check here! Ordering from B&N is also great because they’re Amazon’s main competitor, and if they go out of business… well, it won’t be good.

And finally, yes! You can get Little Thieves on Amazon. Boosting the Amazon rank is also pretty helpful!!

If you can’t afford the book right now, no worries—requesting through your local library is also great! Books that are in high demand may get additional copies purchased for the collection. Adding on Goodreads and boosting on social media is also much appreciated, since word-of-mouth is way more effective than me just saying “buy my book, there’s a horrible girl!”

(But also: please buy my book. There is a very horrible girl.)

Okay, but seriously though, who allowed me to drive? I almost hit the cub like 5023485094375 times when practicing with my mom. There's a reason I'm a chaotic academic. Someone please take away my right to drive, I don't want it anymore 😭😭😭. Yours truly, liz

honestly same i should not be trusted in a car

[aceademic]

reading is like being in the shower. don’t wanna start and dont wanna stop

[aceademic]

congrats to this idiot post for reaching 40k notes

Hey, it's liz. Just a little rant. I've been going through a big writing block lately. I really want to write and publish my own book, but I have literally no ideas and I'm starting to hate on my Band on The Run fic because I really just don't like it and this is probably the 5th or 6th time I wrote it and I keep comparing myself and it's just really not a great time and I'm burnt out and just waaaaaa. Sorry for burdening you with my stuff. yeet - liz

hello again :)

thanks for all the movie/show recs lol. i've been meaning to watch pride and prejudice for a while now, but i told myself i'd only watch it after i read the book. which i started.......and then gave up on after a while. and its been ages since then, so i dont remember what happened and i'd have to read it all over again. this will take a while, is what i'm trying to say

also, don't worry about writers block!! everyone gets it. you don't have to feel pressured to keep publishing them through here if you don't want to, just write something you like :)) (and maybe, if you want to, send it over :) i still like reading other people's writing)

hope you're doing great :)) until we meet again

[aceademic]

low quality because i made this in a rush but i needed to share it
