Hi! Do you like stickers, reading, and/or discounts?
Good. Click my blog link. And go shower @juimon.bsky.social with praise for the cover art.
And did I mention stickers? They're adorable, done by Whispatchet (cara.app/whispatchet) who also deserves praise.

ngl it can be kind of awesome sometimes to be terrible at art, because when I *do* end up doing something graphicy, I get an entirely disproportionate sense of "you mean I made THIS? I?? made THIS???"
