RIP to a legend Catherine O'hara 🕊️

This Fourth of July didn’t feel like a celebration- so we didn’t treat it like one. Instead, Luna shares a quiet, heartfelt reflection on fa

Grief can hit out of nowhere- like a heatwave that settles on your chest, heavy and impossible to ignore. Today, I’m finding comfort in smal

🐾 Ribs, Ribbons, and Rabbit Ears: Belated Gotcha Day Joy

Okay, so I might be running a little behind on this post—but when you’re juggling chronic illness, pup training, and whispering life back into an entire blog (👀), sometimes the celebrations take the front seat while the writing waits its turn. That said… Bear’s 11th Gotcha Day was on April 13th, and there was no way I was going to let the day slip by without celebrating my couch-loving,…

🌙 From the Shadows: A Little Update from the Cryptid Cave

Hello again, my lovely ghouls and garden gremlins— You may have noticed the eerie quiet echoing from The Crippled Cryptid lately. I promise it wasn’t a ghost (well… not entirely). Life simply crept in with all its weight and whispers, and I found myself pulled into the mist for a while. Winter, in all its bone-deep chill and heavy skies, tends to wrap around me like fog—thick and lingering. My…

Finding Balance: Mental Health and Writing Again

TW: Medical, Mental Health, Pet Loss, Fourth Wing, Onyx Storm Wow, okay. So, let’s see if I even remember how to write one of these. Let’s start by saying, no, I didn’t die. I didn’t fall off the face of the earth. I just kind of stopped existing in writer’s spaces for a little while. Writer’s block and impostor syndrome has been kicking my ass. And so has the inevitable book…

Thoughts on Forced Proximity in Real Life & Novels.

(TW: Mentions of Abuse, Strong Language, Possible Mentions of SA, Mentions of Alcohol, & Relationships.) I’ll be the first one to call myself out and tell you that I haven’t done a whole lot of reading this year. I don’t know why but, I just keep finding myself in a slump, and I swear it all falls around one fucking trope that makes me want to eyeroll myself into the next dimension…
