Queen Terrible Timy 🐼👑

I'm still not 100% sold on Mikes' name, but anyway. He is the father Damien never had. He was the reason Damien became a tattoo artist before he choose music.

A promotional image for The Chosen One Con book by Trudie Skies. It shows a background of chimneys with smog and The Chosen One Con book cover along with the text: gaslamp fantasy of bad manners and magical tech. A televised contest of mages to find the "chosen one" in a world of designer enchantments and celebrity-branded potions. Part of The Book Bazaar.

I'm launching a crowdfunding campaign for my new WIP, The Chosen One Con, this November and I need your help!

I'm hoping to set some modest goals and rewards, but I'd love to get more followers before launch. Can you help me reach my first goal of 25 followers? 😍

I had a fun couple of days without looking much at my phone or being online. It's nice when you click with someone in real life too, not just online. And I got to spend proper time at Balaton after so long! I really did need this vacation after the moving. I'm tired AF but still was worth it 🤣

I have absolutely no fucking idea where the Founders live. They are ethereal beings that can have corporeal bodies if they chose, but other than that... I'll find out if I ever have to 😅

I *love* this dialogue between Damien and Ben because my own sarcastic humor comes through.

Today on the train I started on Castaways by @craigschaeferbooks.com. Only 10% in but I already love Dalton. Please don't kill him.

Thank you! 💜

Update 1… The NYT 100 Best Books of 21st Century Okay, so… There used to be a pretty good Wikipedia page of the 100 books but it looks like it was deleted in June, 2025, which is a shame. I don’t understand why The NYT has the book pa…

My first progress update on The NYT 100 Best Books of 21st Century... liisthinks.blog/2025/08/07/u...

Crisis averted. Got to the station well in time, the train was already in. I'm sitting comfortably and ready to go. Being able to travel free within the country gave me the opportunity to get myself a first class ticket - only had to pay for the seating, ha! And now 3h undisturbed writing time. 😁

Maybe I'm not quite awake yet. I got on the metro the wrong way 🤦🏻‍♀️ Fucking hell, it's not like I've been using this particular station for over 30 years goddamn it. I should have still enough time to catch the train but not off to a good start 😅

Forgot a gif, duh.

At least today I have a legitimate reason to be up so damn early (for me, anyway). Yesterday I had to work, but today I'm heading to the Balaton for my mini summer vacation! 😎🌞 This summer is not a fun one overall but at least there is a bit of actual relaxing in the cards and that counts.

Folks: we received the latest dummy copy of the special edition of "Echoes of the Imperium" and it is absolutely flipping stunning. Look at it. LOOK AT IT!

Absolutely living for those endpapers ❤️ I can't wait to hold the final copy in my hands. I long to see the map and character art!

Anytime 💜

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in the grocery store, looking at a shelf with a vast array of various toothpaste tubes. Blue: Huh, that's a lot of toothpaste options. Green: Yep. Blue and Green look at each other. Green: So which one do we need? Blue: The usual. As both foxes turn back to study the shelf, Green starts listing the options. Green: Okay so there's mint and cinnamon flavour, whitening, sensitive, insensitive... As Green continues to nonchalantly list the types of toothpaste, Blue looks at him in confusion. Green: Anti-cavity, anti-gravity, wards off evil spirits... Blue: Wait, what?

Normally, the Founders don't interact with people - not for a long time, anyway. They now only communicate when they need to elect a new Delegate to the Syndicate. But again, some of them enjoy favoring their followers, others try to use humans in their schemes, and some ignore them.

I want to have hair like that tho. I mean, real hair not whatever it is made of.

I'VE GOT MY PC BACK! I haven't been able to use it since January. I lost a lot of data, which sucks, but at least I'll be able to use it. I *could* spend the remaining few days of my holiday gaming, if I weren't heading to the Balaton tomorrow. Boo. At least I'll have another few days off later.

And that's assuming there was a lot to begin with.

Ahahaha, yeah, shower is a classic too. And commuting.

🤣🤣 These days I tend to have ideas as I try to fall asleep 😅

Normally, I don't even function before 9 am, let alone after 6 hours of sleep, but somehow this morning I not only was awake earlier than I should be but also had an epiphany about my WIP. I don't know who I am anymore.

I somehow never was able to keep up friendships. I had a circle of friends from elementary school throughout high shool but we fell apart. I only kept in touch with one of them and even that friendship broke. After nearly 20 years. That was fun... Since then... A few close one but not super close 🤷🏻‍♀️

They inherited their Founder parents' powers but over time their descendants got weaker as their bloodline became more human. Now almost everyone has a spark of power so no one is special but the Founders who are immortal unlike their children who, although very long lived, are still mortal. 2/2

The Founders are supposed to be equals although they do have a leader amongst them who led them to Earth. As such, they are the most powerful and has the most followers. The Founders had children who made up the first Syndicate that runs Calidron so they are respected. 1/2
