Why is female joy so terrifying to weirdos and losers?

Had a lovely evening at The Bookies for Ann Rose’s new release — A HEXCELLENT CHANCE TO FALL IN LOVE — the perfect #Halloween #romance #read. 🎃🐈‍⬛

sketch of a woman in a victorian nightgown. she is standing on a windowsill and reaching one hand towards the viewer as she walks forward, her long hair flows behind her. there are disembodied, monstrous hands wrapping around her torso, pulling her back.

One of the concepts for my Carmilla sequel comic that you can read even if you're not familiar with the book, as long as you like lesbians and vampires and haunted women.

Only two weeks left to get it, only at the shortbox comics fair!

Yeah, you make a good point.

Agreed. The more I think about it, the more it passes me off. And I was already pretty pissed off when I saw the link last night.

Right? I can't even...

I try not to shit too heavily on social media because it allowed me to meet amazing people, present company included, but honestly there's something seriously wrong where being seen as doing something is considered more important than actually doing it.

#WIPSnips 21. "Second"

Not subtle at all, just like Ashrah prefers it.
(And I realised I have way too many "second" in EF, including some I'll have to change since, well, there's no concept of "seconds" in the Hells).

Hey look at that, I just wrote this last night!

One of my MCs, Remember ("Mem") meets her LI. I'm sure they'll have a very normal, non-murdery relationship 🥲

From #Charagma, my fantasy dystopia based on the horrors of Calvinism.

Following this is making a wonderful impression for her Meet Cute with Digs, the eventual love of her life, as Pyntal & her parents are standing over the hors d'oeuvres shoveling food into their mouths. 😂

From #Felcrown, my fantasy adventure serial about a megadungeon that becomes a city.

Right? Someone in the comments mentioned it was like Total Recall, but you don't even get the memories.

Well, everyone knows the most important part of traveling is the photos, not those pesky experiences, or memories to last a lifetime. Bleh.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness. 😀

look I'm incredibly biased to my own bbs (ty @birdko.art ilysm 🥹)

I... am also biased 😅

This feels appropriate for spooky season! I think I may have shared this snip before? But if so it's been a while so it's fine 😅

From Book 1 of my #Atlantis trilogy.

Two women, one in black and one in white, lying on their backs in opposite directions, their heads turned to face each other, fingers loosely playing with one another's hair, noses just barely not touching. They gaze at one another, infatuated.

It's still International Lesbian Day for one hour here, it counts and colloquially so do these two.

Prompt #21, "Love of my life"

Fucking dystopias, man, I swear...

#WIPSnips 20. "Field"

Priorities, Ashrah.

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

A small snippet from my just-for-fun noir detective story, starring a hard-boiled gumshoe (who's an utter idiot) and his erstwhile colleagues (who are brilliant). There's also a koala, but he shows up later! 🐨

Do any of the characters seem... familiar? 🤔😁

"Meadow" instead of "field".

Ground replacing field. | Another 'fun' situation for Tok where he faces an old foe and finds out how dangerous a blunt sword can be.

It's so hard being in that state. It's fucking exhausting. And it's hard not to get into a depression feedback loop. Since I've been going through something similar, I won't offer advice or tell you something you probably know. I'll just say that you are loved, and the demons can fuck right off. ❤️

I feel this hard.

October 19th – trial

Sticking with Anthropomorphic, my urban fantasy, today.

Ray follows very old, very specific rules in her work. That doesn't make it anywhere close to safe.
