Rowan Moss: Dahlseid from Gresha. A green skinned plant man with leaves for hair, wearing lavender colored robes and holding a glass of wine. Arrows with words point at the character: wino, ambassador, magic, confident, is a good boi (deep down), idiot, loyal, plant man plant hair, clever, has the hots for everybody (but especially Dagan), hedonistic. From A Bitter Drink by Azalea Forrest. Dagan Oyibo: Human from Outer Bisia. A dark skinned human male with dreads tied up in a ponytail, wearing a rucksack and holding a staff. Words with arrows point to the character: farm boy, philanthropist, has stick, will use, empathetic, lightweight, patient, vagabond, maybe too trusting (but not too naive), just a cinnamon roll, is a gooder boi (hands down all around). From A Bitter Drink by Azalea Forrest. Clover Ironhammer: Dwarf from Denerth. A redheaded dwarf carrying a huge hammer over her shoulders. Arrows from words say: kind & forgiving (but don't mess with her friends), sunshine, music lover, foodie (and fantastic chef), singing, passionate, the goodest, can and will crush you (with her hammer). From A Bitter Drink by Azalea Forrest. Tani Iohel: Elf from Esterfall. A purple haired elf wearing all black with a sword and arrows. Arrows point at the character: grumpy, "no good deed goes unpunished" (does it anyway), intense, has a thing for redheads (one specific redhead), blunt, neither good nor bad, themby (and she/her), spy, magic, will stab you for fun. From A Bitter Drink by Azalea Forrest.

A Witch in Isenshire by Azalea Forrest. The book cover looks of old parchment, with art-nouveau type style font. Images of tarot cards, gears, crystals, and broomsticks surround an imagine of lineart of a city, with a background of a canyon/butte. Text surrounds the cover with arrows pointing to it: more friendship!, personal growth, coffee vibes, technomancy, closure, determination, automatons, living with loss, feisty grandma, cozy adventure.

The Underground by Azalea Forrest. The cover is of a city a night, zoomed in on a manhole cover. Text surrounds the cover with arrows pointed at it: vampires & werewolves, ghosts & batgirls, anime inspired violence, just a lot of fun, arson, insane vilainess, no sparkles.

Witch in the Lighthouse by Azalea Forrest. A lavender colored book cover with herbs, broomsticks, potions, chamomile flowers, and a lighthouse at sunset. Words surround the cover, with arrows pointing at the book: forgiveness, novella, warm cup of tea, magic, grief, friendship, ghibliesque. The background of the image is a lighthouse on a cliff overlooking the sea.

If Will dies after everything it's gonna be such bullshit. He's been a victim the entire series. Let him heal and recover. 😭

If you see this, post your bird art. 🐦

For a while I was really into papercutting, I should do more of it.

Window's open and a cold breeze is coming through. 52 degrees and getting colder. I don't remember the last time this happened so early in Florida.

Feels good, though.

This is so much food!! I couldn't even eat half. 😂 So yummy though.
Shrimp and veggie tempura, white rice, seaweed, spring roll, all on a decorative Japanese plating style.

9 times out of 10, "nobody wants to work" is because y'all don't pay them enough. You don't offer benefits, or the benefits are crap. We strugglin' out here. Atom Baby can babble all the statistics he wants--but they're wrong. We all see how very high necessities have risen.

Drew a blue frog because there was no one around to stop me 🤷🏻‍♂️

Digital drawing of a blue frog with darker blue spots and stripes and orange eye. It is sitting amidst fanciful white blooms with golden centers and edges. The background is green with a semi-circle of lighter green highlighting the frog.

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

saw Bugonia the other day and still thinking about it. i hear a lot of people think it's funny, and in ways it is, but i couldn't help but take everything that was happening as seriously, and tbh ended up crying 3 different times thinking of these poor fucks and how lost and poisoned they are.

It's too cold for my cosmos so I pulled it inside as it has a *lot* of flower bulbs yet. Barry doesn't agree with having such a big plant inside 🙈

i guess right now they get the right amount. i fell out of love with pokemon bc of scarlet/violet (rabbit holes, terrible stuttering), ACNH felt empty (great innovation but), moving to AAA ghost games instead of keeping it on-cartridge. to ME it just feels like trying hard in the wrong direction.

Okay, do you feel like Nintendo...
• gets too much hate?
• just the right amount of hate?
• or too little hate?

Why? 🤔 😊

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.
