Brave New World Barbie

Painted a new pot for my plant. But rough, but good for a first attempt

#6 -

Rotürhkht fears stagnation and stasis. Worse, she fears regression. When faced with the possibility of a forced detransition, she is unable to go with poise so great is her terror. Only holding onto her identity centers her.

Atm I'm actively working on two stories for the collection; The first is an S&S tale of a shaman disrupting a horrid order, and the second is an experiment in less materialist storytelling; A regenerative apocalypse is brought to the dead in a conceptual realm by an angel, witch, and golden hound.

#1 - I'm River: Writer, Philosopher, Dancer. I've been writing for 15 years, and I'm now making the journey to get myself and my work "out there"

My current WIP is a short story collection I plan to call "The Sword In The Wolf's Mouth"

I got my whole kitchen clean, even the oven!

Look how clean my kitchen is getting!

Upgraded my favorite incense holder. Added a new jole to hold the incense at a higher angle. Painted the eyes gold and dry brushed the knotwork with more gold.
