25 for 2025! Lots of thrillers and books with heavy themes, so I tried to sprinkle a few light-hearted ones here and there as breathers. 🙂‍↕️ #Books

reading all the thrillers I can lately 🥹 Idk why fall becomes my thriller era every year, but I'm not mad abt it! I'm also watching some dark thrillers and documentaries on Netflix at night and... Yall, if I'm more jumpy than normal, this is why. 🫠

I was reading on my Kindle and started to highlight a section and make unhinged comments abt how much I loved a certain thing, but then realized they'd never see it bc it's not a Google Doc dang it. 😤😤😤 #Books

I've been screaming about this to anyone who will listen! Like, the trailer is identical and I was not prepared for how seriously the director was to his job! LIKE THE CASTING IS PHENOMENAL. ARE WE EVEN SEEING THIS? HICCUP IS REAL
You see how the most (and possibly only) affecting part of this teaser is the part that's virtually identical to the original movie, i.e. the part that's animated? That's how you know this is an essential and artistically worthy project. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lzo...

forever torn between being a goblin with messy hair, sweats, and hunched over my desk writing, or getting dressed for the day, hair styled, face on, and writing in public. the goblin wins most days. 🥲😌 #writingcommunity

thinking abt @aijiang.bsky.social 's A PALACE NEAR THE WIND daily if not hourly since I finished last week. 😭 Thought provoking, honest, unique, and gut-wrenching. Top read this year for sure!

It's amazing how when I am obviously busy on my laptop, and my keys click-clacking away is when my family wants to hold LENGTHY conversations, ask me questions, and expect replies back. Like, y'all, I'm good at multitasking, but this is too much. I'm just trying to write emo smexy tattooing. 🤣

It's been a hot minute, so introductions are in order!

Ollo, I'm Azshure or just Az.
I write Epic Fantasy that hinges on Romantasy/Dark Fantasy. As well as spicy retelling of Fairy tales with Fae and Far who turn into Wyverns. (Not dragons, it's important.)

I also draw most of my own scenes

🥲 I've never felt more seen than when the moon is big and staring at me through the window. Its soothing milky white strands wrap around my heart and squeeze tight, tight, tight. I'm so small and inconsequential, and yet the moon seems so happy to see me. Nature is so beautiful!

I dnf a lot of books, and that's okay bc why spend time reading a book I don't like when I could be reading one I do and enjoying it? And sometimes I dnf a book and then come back to it a few months later, and LOVE it. Sometimes, it's just timing. #WritingCommunity

question: if you had the opportunity to meet your favorite author and have an hour of 1-on-1, would you take it? I've had this opportunity, and while I was nervous, it was incredibly rewarding and she was sooo beyond kind. 🥹
