Hi! I'm Verati, #SFF #trans author/artist of #EchoSight: when a sassy, nonbinary, disabled monster hunter tries to save a city from a xenomorphic fungal hivemind, they stumble upon more intrigue than they bargained for. Can they & an enemy archmage work together before its too late?

The previous owner of this house continues to piss me off. They removed all the bath faucets from the tubs and made EVERY TUB IN THE HOUSE a shower-only. What the fuck. Why are you like this?

Also...DO NOT DIY your electrical. Just fucking don't unless you have real professional experience.

Lady Shadow’s plans for conquest are slowly taking shape, meaning more Demons of the Between Realm will awaken. But will she get to offer her blood oath first, or can Daisuke and Obito step in before she has the chance?

In addition to offering map commissions, I'll be periodically posting pre-made maps for $20 ($25 if you'd like color added). I'll make minor changes and add roads/towns/location names for free :)

Here's the first one!

Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others.

It's been a while since I plugged my novel, #EchoSight, bc I don't want it to look like my ENTIRE personality (it is).

But check it out! It's a high/urban fantasy abt a nonbinary disabled soldier trying to save a city from fungal demons & having A TIME. And they're very sassy.

That's so funny. Lots of Protestantism is super concerned with Satan, but like...idk, I think the Catholics are onto something with that one.

Also same. I've seen those very vids pop up on my feed and I want to slap him for...basically spotlighting his girlfriend's perceived strange habits to the whole internet.

idk, feels rude & leans too far into, "hurr hurr girls doing games," even if he, personally, doesn't suck.

I'm having the same trouble with uni. I'm already good at the things I'm going to school for and even have a work history bc I was too poor for college out of high school. But now I have time and it feels like such a waste of effort (bc a fuckhead running the country has ruined everything I wanted).

And then, of course, sometimes there's places that blend and bend the planes, allowing spirits to shove themselves through the cracks. A lockpick that never breaks can be just as magical as a talking rabbit, but one type of anomaly is much rarer than the other.
February 8, 2026 at 3:29 PM
And much like you can change the direction of an object, you can command gravity. Magicians/Heralds/cultivators on Kareden learn how magic (generally) behaves and usually stick to what they know.

Most spells are invisible and seem like random luck until you get the really skilled mages.

#TaintedFaculties

There's no "source" in the sense of a single place or thing. It's an aspect of the universe itself. Magic is energy that's pulled from different (think cake layers) planes to the physical one, which is why it seems mundane until you get really weird anomalies.
#Febchantment Day 8

This week we're digging more into the nuts & bolts of your magic system! So let's start with the source.

Where exactly does magic "come from" in your world? Where/when does it originate? Does anyone know for sure, or are there only theories?

Woke up exhausted, and there are SO many possible reasons for it.

But saw the latest kerfluffle & just thought I'd mention that I write my own books. Which either get written for months in my head & then pour out in a couple months, or took years to write around making a living.

Real author.
