A toast to Herr Thiessen, 2025 🖤

Scent bottles for candle making labeled from top to bottom: Cherry, Lily of the Valley, Vintage Wine, Sage, Sandalwood, Smoked Ember, Sensual Amber, Tonka & Oud

Freshly poured candle with hand drawn label sticker showing red feminine vampire lips dripping blood and “Sapphic Vamp” written underneath

Mary: oh! How did your sapphic vamp candle turn out?
Me: It turned out good!
Mary: what does it smell like?
Me: … I’m packaging it to send to you?
Mary: !!
Me: I made a candle using cherry as a main scent—YOUR FAV—and you didn’t think I was going to send it to you?? I don’t even like cherry.

100% without a doubt

I’ve developed an eye twitch once again

A girl with long brown hair cups the face of a red-headed boy as they gaze into each other's eyes. Surrounding text: "Rehearsal" kisses cinnamon roll boy socially awkward heartthrob love letter to fandoms co-stars playing onscreen LIs Asexual rep former tween star paparassi drama cute cats

It's #AceWeek so a little teaser for the book I hope to send on sub soon, in which two co-stars in a high budget comic book adaptation fight the straightwashing of a canonically ace character... and their feelings for each other.

Today’s mood: Men (derogatory)

My best friend just shared this with me!!!

Let me cook

New logo design, “universe counseling” forward facing person silhouette with abstract brain, dungeon master screen at bottom with different sided dice on each screen panel, D20 die at top of logo above head, gaming control to left of head, potion bottle to right of head

Same new logo design but the dice are rainbow colors

Original logo design, “universe counseling” with face silhouette and purple starry clouds inside head.

Finished Logo Redesign Commission!

Last photo is original design. They do dnd group therapy and really wanted to tie that into the new design and add more nerdy elements in general.

Really happy with how this one turned out! ♥️

Update: said friend wanted me to mention that we are moving into an apartment together next year and they considered it “required reading” before we became official roommates lmao

Hey, idiot (me), you got distracted chatting with the barista and forgot to ask for oat milk for your latte again and now you’re suffering the consequences like a buffoon.

This is my love language btw if you were wondering

Work in progress concept sketch of Isobel Martin the fortune teller from The Night Circus with historical reference photos of period appropriate black Victorian mourning dress, marseille tarot cards, and miniature of magical charm referenced in book.

Original character design drawn in 2021, Isobel Martin the fortune teller from The Night Circus. Long black dress, lace veil, surrounded by circle of tarot cards.

I love it when I get another one of my friends to read The Night Circus by @erinmorgenstern.bsky.social because I talk about it so much and they are tired of not understanding my references 🤗

Anyway have an Isobel character redesign concept WIP

I’m beginning to think the 7pm latte was a mistake

✨concept✨

I’d love to know what is wrong with my face, my lips keep breaking out in an allergic reaction but idk WHY or WHAT is causing it 😭😭😭 this is the second time in one month

Just finished reading Manacled by SenLinYu for the first time since the official rework publishes next week on my birthday (and I’m a nosy bitch) and I’m just casually ruined now so that’s cool

I broke out in another allergic reaction on my lips and they are so swollen and itchy but this time I have no idea what caused it so I want to scream ♥️

Okay, I met my bat quota for the year, no more please, my nerves can’t take the danger dance with rabies

Happy anniversary there’s a bat in my apartment AGAIN but a year later

I wouldn’t wish allergies on even my worst enemy, being itchy all over outside and inside is a slow death

Happy publication day for The Night Circus by @erinmorgenstern.bsky.social 🖤♥️✨

This book has been inspiring my art and pushing me to improve for over a decade now ♥️🤗
(I can only share four images at a time but trust there’s more)

I don’t remember commissioning a bio

It’s hard to convince myself to get back into writing when I just started improving on my art in earnest

Me: I made carbonara for the first time
Mary: it looks good! Was it too eggy?
Me: the council (my stomach) has yet to decide if it was too eggy
Mary: 😂😂😂

I drew my beautiful wife ♥️

Me, taking Benadryl because the chapstick I’ve been using for months suddenly gave me an extreme allergic reaction on my lips: who else tryna see hat man, amiright?

Her sister is also the one that said, “I wish I loved something as much as Gidget loves The Night Circus.”
