Geirangerfjorden at it's autumnal best. A stunning place to be any time, but for me the quietness and the autumn/fall colours are perfect. Happy Sunday.

But yes youโre right stories can have stakes that arenโt world-ending or destructive. It can be something as simple as a character wanting to win a baking contest or make a career change, and dealing with the things that get in the way of that.
01.09.2025 16:34 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I felt similar seeing Assistant to the Villain being under the cozy category (though I donโt think I see it labeled as such anymore?) Lately I do see more โfantasy rom-comโ subgenres in the vein of Terry Pratchett or The Princess Bride.
I always consider T. Kingfisherโs stories โcozy adjacentโ.
Maybe Spice & Wolf? Itโs medieval economics-heavy but the english VAs for the show trade off reading chapters of the light novel & do a decent job.

Overall a cozy read with some heavy themes. I like the character developments and twists. Was surprised that it's modern Fantasy, but the setting fits.

My later stories might be more unique names.
I think a combo of unique and real names is awesome though!

With my book release right around the corner I'm cooking to keep the nerves under control. I already have one recipe at the back of the book, but why not make more? So I made a themed sorbet! I'm calling it Scrambler Sorbet, which will make sense to those who read it.

Robin in Colors is a hand-painted watercolour painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar. A European Robin stands amidst splashes of vibrant colors on a plain creamy white background. The bird's bright orange breast contrasts beautifully with its darker feathers.. The colours of the plumage are repeated in the splashes of colour in the abstract background. The songbird looks in a friendly manner towards the viewer.
From my collection of hand painted portraits of robins - Robin in colors.
Have a great weekend!

There is a seasonal festival, which is evident over this hustle because of the decorations of red & gold bunting and flags crisscrossed cross over head, and sunflowers have been pinned on the beams and roof tops. Between all the people, two men have seen each other. A tall brown man, with a mane of curly black hair, wearing a knitted rainbow duster, looks over his shoulder with the confusion of a clouded memory. He has arms full of shopping in paper bag, herbs, flowers and bottles, he has to be on his way and the crowd is moving, but still he lingers as he looks at the other man. The other man is small, thin, freckled and has a shock of red hair that is firey in the dawn light, he is taking the hood of his green jersey like he is going to pull it over his head, but before he does he looks back at the second man. The heaviness of his heart and thin hope are evident in his face.
A paperback of Matsdotter and Adrastus on top of Phantom and Rook, in the snow. The cover of Matsdotter and Adrastus by Aelina Isaacs. Two men embrace each other in a warmly lit area between bookshelves. They hold each other as if dancing, and stare adoringly into each other's eyes. The man on the left is short, white, and has trim brown hair. He wears glasses and a brilliant red jacket with black lacing. He smiles wide at his companion. The taller man has waist length black hair and translucent dragon fly like wings extending from his back, and brown skin. He dresses in all black, and has golden lines inscribed into his cheekbones. He stares down at fondly at his companion with a quiet smile.
