The way you draw Zeph makes me feel… softly euphoric? I’m not quite as angular as her, but I didn’t get on hormones til mid-20s and Puberty 1 had already done its… work. But I look at Zephyr and think, “fuck she’s pretty.”

So maybe I am too.✨

this is very good to hear... im glad she could be a good source of self confidence for u (nod)... girls4ever as always

Happy Break Your Chains Day! 🎉

Celebrate the power of labor w/ this dystopian mechsplo tabletop game about fighting in vain against the hypercapitalist machine: [HLVS_ !!

This 40pg booklet contains the original text that was submitted for the @200-word-rpgs jam of 2025 (which will remain freely available here on tumblr), my narrativized first play-test, and some concept art of a possible module✨

(It’s really sad and gay and I hope you enjoy it!)

Anyway: here’s a cool speedpaint.

Love always,

Completely engrossed in No Allegory. I’ve been sitting in the bathroom for an 2hrs prepping my E shot but I just can’t put my phone down. I’m on chapter 23 and your writing has me by the throat. There’s only a handful of ppl I’d feel comfortable recommending or sharing it w/ (for several reasons, mostly cowardice), but fuck, it’s just too good not to. Thank you for writing it. 🏳️‍⚧️✨

(Addendum: make that chapter 24.)

...and thank you for reading it. 🏳️‍⚧️💞

The book started as a series of screams into the void, you know. Getting my very worst memories off my chest. That's how it got its title; the joke was that all that shit literally happened.

Hearing anything, any echo bouncing back, is more than a scream into the void like that could have hoped for. It's ...healing.

Here, I'll tell you something I know I shouldn't:

I'm working on a second book. New characters, same setting. I ain't ever gonna run out of things to scream about.

Check back, I'll post a blurb under this when I've got the first ten thousand or so words down.

They'll have to kill me to stop me.

So how’s Gachiakuta? (been on my to-watch list for a second now)

i can't speak for anime itself, but the manga is pretty great! I think it does a pretty good job at playing with common shonen tropes and taking them further than usual.

It did take a good 20+ chapters for it to stick with me, but i got really hooked into the series and read it all in like two days lol. It's pretty good at writing its side characters and making you care about them. It's also just a really good action manga.

Massively curious about your avocado process! Like… how different in texture is the pit from an average piece of wood? Do they need to be more thoroughly dried out prior to carving? Anything special to “seal” them afterwards? Absolutely beautiful pieces, enough to inspire picking up a new hobby✨

It’s a super cool material to work with! Fresh avo seeds are actually quite soft and fleshy once they’ve dried in the air for a bit, and tha

I did a big chunk of text on the “curing” process here in this reblog since people are curious, I think I explained it as well as I can! There’s a lot of time (depending on what type of avocado it came from/the size of the pit itself) between when it’s soft & rubbery like the inside of an acorn and when it’s so tough that it’s almost like soapstone, usually a couple days—so rough shaping and adjusting for a certain degree of shrink is best done in the early stages of curing.

Sealing the product takes little more than layers of linseed oil, brushed on & left to dry for 24 hrs between coats. Ideally want them to have a slight gloss finish while being saturated enough that the layers can soak back into the material & harden appropriately.

P.s. I’m thrilled people are enjoying these, it’s an easy enough process to start experimenting with & I really encourage anyone who’s starting to look into woodworking or small-scale sculpture to give it a shot!

Is this your first Gundam? I’ve been meaning to give Zeta a try. Wing was a little campy for me, and Orphans was bleak in a way I found boring, but I really enjoyed Mercury; highly recommend for the music and space yuri 🧹✨

nope! i've seen all of 0079 so i could have the context for everything else in uc... its what made me such an amuro fan (nods)

I have read the wip and i will demand to read it again: BUTTERFLIES 🦋

Forcing my hand! Very well.😖

For those outside the know, Butterflies is my MalMiq fanfic (mostly fluff w/ spice later on) that I started well before Shadow dropped. Kiiiinda canon-compliant? if you take a few generous leaps? (they’re trans to me)

This bit is from their youth, probably one of my favorite dialogue exchanges. Let them be kids.

(some context: Mal is blind, Miq crafted her prostheses)

-ahem-

Miquella’s feet skipped his path like stones over water; his sister galloped after, drawn by scent and sound. Her proficiency was waxing, for soon the crutch would become a cane.

Stairs, for the time, remained her nemesis.

“Malenia!” came her protector like the wind, doubling over her shaking body.

Rolling her over in a panic unveiled a fit of painful laughter. He smacked her hard.

“You dreadful beast!” he crackled, helpless in masking his shock but too relieved to be angry. “My leg!”

“Your leg?” Malenia riposted, still recovering. Sure enough, one of her ankles had rolled. Many strides away, in fact.

Her brother scrambled to retrieve it, only to be tackled to the ground.

“I will make your ruin!” warned Miquella, catching his twin’s whimsy like the moon.

“You will make my foot!”~
