Art of the band by @linnpuzzle!!!
Commission time again! Once more the super talented @linnpuzzle has agreed to take on one of my characters and done a fantastic job bringing him to life 💙❤️ This is The Prince (who has a name, but for safety reasons he doesn't share it freely), the love interest of Ulrec from this previous post. They show up in book two of a series that starts with Mages and Marriage. The Prince has been nominated by his friends and allies to lead their post-revolution attempt at a peaceful transition from monarchy to democracy. He's doing his best to keep things together, but the court is less than trusting of those with fae ancestry, so...
Yeah, misunderstandings and tension abound!
My little dnd party from Ariath ❤️
Going to open commission here in a few days, please check it out!

Meet Wren Jones (as drawn by the lovely @linnpuzzle): rockstar drummer, fashion icon, and chaos goblin extraordinaire. I’m so happy to finally have their love story out in the wild as of this weekend! Please check it out—and if you leave a review just know you’ve made me cry with happiness.
Writing /The Rade 3: Thrall/ was a bit of a fever dream, which is appropriate for Wren, let’s be real. Thanks to Lin for the hard work as pro beta and sensitivity reader. (And to Andy, he knows what for 😂.) This one means a lot to me.
Tropes and treats include:
🪄Fairy/Witch
🏳️⚧️T4T
💦So much tension
🫂Found family
⛓️💥Forced proximity
✨Accidental magical bond
🤐Secret names
🐙Tentacle toys
👓Slutty little glasses

i'm going to the end of the world to experience freedom and beauty in desolation, anyone want anything?
People used to comment on web comics.
People used to comment on fanfiction.
People used to comment on fanart.
People used to comment on OCs.
I hate "content" culture.
I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.
People used to be excited about the art that other people created.
People used to want to share that excitement with creators.
I hate this future.
Once someone tagged art that I made with "woah" and I think about it at least once a week. Someone else said "oh neat" once. Someone else WROTE A WHOLE DAMN POEM IN THE COMMENTS. Anyways even just one word can change how someone sees their art. You don't even have to think about it too hard. You could put a keyboard smash and I'd probably cry from joy.
I'm also trying hard to interact more, I understand that it's hard to break away from opening your phone and being in Content Consumption Mode.
I honestly hadn't stopped to think about this until I saw this post... I used to think people would get annoyed if they were notified everytime someone posted a comment on their art. I never thought about it being like fanfiction and that they might appreciate comments. Frick, that means I'm part of the problem on here. Thats gotta change.
Every tag, every comment, every reblog with some kind of reaction/opinion or even just one word. All of these things are precious to creators!
I spent countless hours reading and rereading tags full of love people left under my art. All the people i could gift a laugh to or even inspire with something I made mean more to me then you could ever know.
It's what makes me proud of my art!
And to think that you could have enjoyed my art in silence and I would have never known.
A very special shout out to the person who tagged "these mcgriddles make me want to shit so bad" on fanart in 2013 I think about you once a day
I love every comment I get on my art! It's so nice to see people interacting with what has taken me hours to make. Even if your comment takes a couple seconds to write out it makes my day that you took time to do it :)
Glorious art I commissioned back in 2021 from the amazing @linnpuzzle , featuring the main characters of my (soon to be finished!) urban fantasy novel A Werewolf in October. Posting it now to celebrate that I'm on track with my editing and should be able to fully declare the whole project "done" next year 🥳
In the first picture, from left to right, you have: 1) Isha, monster hunter in training. 2) Arturo, reluctant vampire. 3) Jayla, enthusiastic werewolf. They are the novel's POV characters, and as you can see in the second picture, they have some hidden magics 😊

btw this isn't a vague/subtweet (post?) or anything but just so y'all know, there's a way to mark things as "inspired by" on ao3
you don't have to just put it in the notes!! very cool under-utilized feature
This is an underutilized feature of AO3, and a great way to credit the work you might be taking inspiration from.
It's also useful because it will link your work on the work it's inspired by! A little section pops up to say "Works inspired by this one:" and a hyperlink at the bottom of the original fic.*
And then anyone who finds the fic that inspired you will have the option to read your fic too and anyone reading your fic has the chance to go read the fic you loved so much you had to write about it! Everyone wins!
*The author does have to approve that link, it doesn't just pop up on it's own, but in my experience as someone who enjoys gifting fic it's usually well received.
PLEASE use this feature! Its so cool! And it is a great way to drice traffic to both the original and inspired by work since it automatically provides a direct link. You can also connect translations! Which is amazing! This is a super great feature on ao3!
I have played a ridiculous amount of isat lately. Very cool game. So here is Siffrin, the main lil friend. they need a hug

Both ALCHEMIYA books are available as read by the wonderfully talented Jill Smith. They're both so delightful, seriously. Currently they're up at www.kateyhawthorneshop.com but they should appear in other places eventually. As always, buying direct gets you a discount 💜
What are these books? Uh, that's harder. Think historical fantasy with Regency mores and a lot of alchemy, though.
Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?
The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.
Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.
Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.
Been hearing this is a problem again. Don't be a dick in bookmarks, folks. And yes while I made this image, I'm giving free reign. Take it. Spread it far and wide. Because I'm hearing that some readers don't know that their bookmarks are visible.
after three million years i finally remembered my password to the hellsite. welp. time to post some art
