Submitted my first installment of “Dying to Know with Diana,” a death positive column, to Panegyria, a monthly newsletter.

It’s nice to have a consistent writing gig to promote death positivity because death denial is rampant in society.

I’m grateful to all my supporters. ❤️

Tell me that history doesn't repeat when I can see the price of groceries increase and the workers decrease and I squeak by
paycheck to paycheck, just enough to pay rent to a society that's crumbling beneath my feet.
Tell me that history doesn't repeat when nazis can speak more freely than me.
Tell me.
I dare you.

Here’s a poem I wrote from my non fandom account. A teaser of my style. (My chapbook will be under my pagan name of “Diana.”) #poetry

Preview of submission for colours of the gate zine. Gale Dekarios and Astarion Ancunin humbly request that Shadowheart Hallowleaf and Lae’zel of K’liir accompany them to the annual Baldur’s Gate Pride Festival
“Chk!” She rolled her eyes and groaned. Pride is not something to be celebrated. Certainly, my companions have gone mad. She stood up, stretched, and walked back into the cottage. She paused while shutting the purple wooden door behind her with a soft click. Why would Shadowheart really want to go to such a ridiculous festival? She shrugged. It would probably be disadvantageous for her.
Lae’zel thought for a moment and tapped her cheek with her forefinger. Yes, Pride is a weakness. It would only cause us to become weak. Memories of her training on K’liir came to mind. The arrogant ones died quicker.
She tossed the invitation into the trash and headed out the back door

Mars opposition Mercury (Jan 23):
An opportunity to examine how we express our frustrations or defend our ideas, encouraging a more intentional approach. Focus on developing self-awareness and practicing patience, using the tension to refine both our communication and our strategy for taking action.

Headshots of my Tav, Florence and Shadowheart from Baldur's Gate 3.

Flo is shown as serene with sparkles around her face while Shadowheart is side-eyeing her with a dark cloud around her head.

Headshots of my Tav, Florence and Shadowheart from Baldur's Gate 3. Flo is shown as serene with sparkles around her face while Shadowheart is side-eyeing her with a dark cloud around her head.

2-panel borderless comic.

Left Panel: Shadowheart is seen pulling away her hand holding the mysterious artefact from a surprised Florence.

Dialogue:
Shadowheart: "I said you could look at it, not touch it. Does being a Selûnite come with hearing problems?"

Right Panel: Florence is holding her hands close to one another, pointing at the back of one of them with a soft expression

Dialogue:
Florence: "No, no, I meant your wound. May I have a look at it? It seemed to hurt you earlier. I want to make sure nothing's wrong with it."

It seemed to hurt you earlier. I want to make sure nothing's wrong with it."

2-panel borderless comic:

Left Panel: Shadowhear is seen with her arms crossed, looking away with an annoyed expression from a chibi looking Florence with a comically pleading expression. There is a second expression from Shadowheart looking at Flo with a angry, shouting look as a follow-up to her dialogue.

Dialogue: 
Shadowheart: "I've already told you the pain goes away nearly instantly, there's nothing to check- (she interrupts herself and shouts) "Why are you looking at me like that for?! Stop it!!"

Right Panel: The two are drawn in a chibi style sitting with their legs under them. Florence is holding Shadowheart's right hand. She has a soft expression while Shadowheart's face is annoyingly angry.

Dialogue: 
Shadowheart (in her thoughts): "Lady Shar must be testing me. Having to deal with this Selûnite that is so frustratingly nice and understanding. She must be up to something. No one can't keep this demeanor forever. She's bound to falter eventually."
"I'll have to keep an eye on her... and her deviously pretty smile... and suspiciously soft hands."

Did you guys know that I have an original sketch of Shadowheart up on my Ko-fi shop?
I very rarely make traditional art but this one I'm super proud of, and I would love if a true Shadowheart fan would get it 🫰
