Petall (They/Them)

A young man, Micah, kneels in a field of purple flowers. He holds a bundle of purple flowers in one hand while reaching to gather more with his other hand. He has peach skin, golden hair, and brown eyes. He wears a white shirt, brown pants, and a wide-brimmed straw hat with flowers woven through. Behind him, there is a verdant forest of trees. Bees buzz around the man as he looks down towards his work. The title, Sweet & Wild, is above him and the author’s name, Alex Larkspur, is below him.

I'm so excited to reveal the cover for Sweet & Wild, coming out July 29th!
Sweet & Wild is a MM Fantasy Romance with magic, a sunshine MC, and mysterious spirits in the forest!

@northyme.com is the cover artist and they did such an amazing job capturing the mood!

Micah Harlow has just moved to Roseyard, a small town on the edge of a mysterious forest. Filled with hope for a new start here, Micah ventures into the woods to forage and, of course, make an offering to the guardian spirit within. However, this forest is unlike any that Micah has been in before. The spirit himself appears and takes an interest in Micah, helping him to find whatever he needs and spending time with him. To complicate things further, the town of Roseyard is far different than Micah expects. The citizens call the guardian spirit within the woods a beast, and they seem to be held under the thumb of one affluent man. In order to survive and thrive, Micah will be pulled further into the magic of the forest and its spirit, all while cultivating relationships within Roseyard. And hopefully, heal the wounds of his damaged heart.

A grid of nine pictures: sunshine shining through trees, wildflowers in the sunshine, a stag eating grass, a village street, a yellow square reading “Sweet & Wild” with a drawing of a bee and a flower, a bee resting on a yellow flower, a honey dipper covered in honey, a straw hat resting on flowers, and the crowns of trees from below. There are bubbles of text that read: “MM Fantasy Romance”, “Healing and Growth”, “Sunshine MC”, “Witches”, “Cozy Adjacent”, and “Mysterious Spirits in the Woods”

A digital drawing of a displacer beast kitten sitting with a determined expression on his face.

Displacer Beast Kitten from my in person game. His name is Jellybean!

Digital art of a water genasi/orc who has been cursed and now as one cyclops eye and sharp teeth. She is covered in glowing red veins, marking further corruption from ruidium. A smaller blue hand is reaching out to touch her cheek. The hand is encapsulated in glowing white light. This glow is reflecting off of the genasi, and the tips of the red veins are glowing with the same white light to signify the corruption being reversed.

Art of my moon cleric, Ness, redeeming a friend who betrayed the party.

I was going to go see a movie today, but the snow changed my plans.

Digital art of a more realistic anthro cat. He is wearing a white shirt, a bowtie and suspenders. He is smiling, but not saying anything.

I finished #Drawtectives Season 2 today, and it is one of the best things I have ever seen. Felix is definitely my favourite character in the whole show, I love him so much. Here's some fanart I drew of him, one more cartoonish and one more realistic.

People Have Had Non-Binary Genders for Thousands of Years It's nothing new.

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon.

But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

A digital art drawing of a monodrone with one white wing and one rainbow wing. The monodrone is smiling and looks very happy.

R04M is the best NPC in Turn of Fortune's Wheel.

A shadowy humanoid figure with tendrils coming off the bottom where legs should be. Its hands are abnormally long, particularly in the fingers. It had three eyes on its head, three eyes on its chest, and a wide gaping mouth. Coming off of it is wispy purple smoke. There is a blizzard.

Stuff of Nightmares

A digital drawing of an elf ranger hiding behind a minotaur. In front of them are silhouettes of two giant babies, which are what the elf is hiding from. The minotaur's visible eye is glowing and is raising a mace.

One of the PCs in the one shot I played in this evening is afraid of children, so when we encountered two giant toddlers, my character vowed to protect her from them.

A digital art drawing of a wizard speaking into a sending stone. In the foreground, covering part of the wizard, is a raven with wide eyes and an open beak, feathers coming off as it flies.

Raven (the wizard) huddled in the bathroom sending a message via sending stone and using his familiar Wizard (the raven) to cover up the noise of the call.

A digital headshot drawing of an albino minotaur. Her bangs cover her left eye. She has a nose ring and a broken left horn.

This is Phrames, a character I built for a one-shot tomorrow. She is a minotaur ghostslayer blood hunter. Phrames was selected and trained to be a part of an elite ghost ship hunting crew, but after her first fight, she got scared and ran away. She met the party while avoiding her destiny.

A digital drawing of a shark person dressed up in a Santa outfit. The shark person looks confused.

Samik became an unexpected Santa during our Christmas party session.

A digital drawing of a hyena child and a cat child building a very large snowman. It is snowing.

Rufus (the gnoll) and Rusty (the tabaxi) had fun building a giant snowman until it came to life and started on a rampage that the party had to quell.

A digital drawing of a grass bracelet torn, rotting and covered in dirt. Ruidus corruption is creeping towards it.

It's heart-wrenching when the friends our party made at the beginning of Netherdeep end up abandoning the grass friendship bracelets our druid crafted for them as a sign of the betrayal to come.

Without downloading any new pics what's your energy going into 2025?
