Dane has a favourite TV show, has worked out how to completely unplug the Playstation (and the controllers) AND eject a disc from it.
Fitzwilliam doesn't even know we *have* a TV.

Two-ish years ago I got to reconnect w/ @arymwrites.bsky.social over our mutual love of greek myths! Not long after we helped brainstorm various nymphs for a campaign we were part of at the time! Still proud of this even after the concepts were scrapped, it’s got good flow.

I haven't drawn fan art in years, but drawing Sabrina from Islands of Happiness/Sunshine Islands to get a feel for her made me happy.
