I know NaNoWriMo isn't around anymore but I've been doing it anyway. 1,500 words every day for the past 10 days. It's killer but it feels good to be writing fiction again :)

EARTH MUST DIE is a comedy narrative adventure with a stacked cast of British comedians, a very funny script, and it's exceptionally pretty. Like playing a cartoon.

Meet Blake and Sparky, my characters for my partner's homebrew pokemon campaign :)

Blake's always got a static charge because of Sparky so she doesn't really use computers which does make her job as a reporter kinda hard but you make do, right?!

Thanks @artmonkeymg.bsky.social!

ICYMI, I was a horrific nightmare creature for my first proper circus performance earlier this year! Here's me getting used to walking around in the full costume.

During the show, the mask fell down over my eyes and I had to do the whole thing basically blind 😵

This is so amazing, go give it a look and add it to your Apothecaria playthrough unless you want the wigfish to suffer?!?
As a huge fan of Apothecaria by @annablackwell.bsky.social I couldn't resist turning my silly little idea from a while back into something a little more. So here we go - introducing the Wigfish Rehab Centre! 💚
