New followers! If you like videos, I make a lot of them about my books and other creative ventures!
I like short and long-form content for different reasons, so I make both! A follow/subscribe would mean a lot to me as a completely independent, self-published author 💕

Some authors dance around using the word “bisexual” to describe a character.
I assure you: I will never be one such author.

“You finally want to write again” yay!
“You want to write for two different projects, neither of which are the book you’ve been working on since 2023” wait.

I'm finally back to my proper drawing setup, and I decided to celebrate with a little art.
Did you know that the Engage guidebook lists both Chloe and Yunaka as being 5'5", but when you see them in the Somniel it almost looks something more like this?

my pastel color palettes are kinda goated ngl. Also, I’m good at coloring the sky. One of my friends once said “no one does a sky like you” and I think of that often!
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.
I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.
No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at
Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

Thinking about my fanfic writing days. Those were fun.
I’m still in the process of moving things from Wattpad to AO3. I want to finish the stories I left hanging, but it’d be wise to not expect new fics from me anytime soon.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

One thing I learned from my worst job: Pearl-clutching over someone using "bad language" can be a tactic, a form of linguistic DARVO. It's used purposely to deflect from whatever point the speaker was making. Good on anyone who refuses to take the bait.

Coworkers aghast I didn’t know a popular actor, they start naming movies they’ve been in. I shake my head at every one. They start giving me suggestions for movies to watch with that actor. I do not have the heart to tell them I don’t intend to watch any of them

I really second this: if you’re seeing this, give Fire Emblem Engage a try!
Alear is honestly super sweet and down to earth, and there’s still plenty of heart in the lighter adventure story Engage offers.
The story is still neat, with wholesome or silly-fun supports with the cast to add to it!
