SAME I love that Hazel likes to snore behind my butt, but my butt is BIG and the office chair does not comfortably fit both me and my also somewhat large daughter

Catching up with The Summer Hikaru Died (I'm behind a few volumes), I think more of Twittering Birds Never Fly came out?, and Common Sense Monster and This Monster Wants to Eat Me, both yuri monster romances, look intriguing! I may also pick up the Dark Souls manga if they have it 🫣

My Thanos snap post is getting more mileage than any other post I have on here, or any post I've made in years... It's odd. It's something I said to my friends recently. "I want to go" but I don't actually want to go. I just want to go to the Good Universe. People I dislike can stay here.

Fair enough lol. Though earnestly I hope there are things here that are enjoyable for you, even amongst the muck.

And only the people we like get Thanos snapped with us. What a nice world it would be!

On the bright side, I am on the verge maybe of drawing again, because these feelings have to go somewhere, and video games and baking and childcare and house cleaning are not solving them all

I would like to be Thanos snapped into a world where my friends and I are well off enough that we can live comfortably and also support all of our friends and live a happy little life

The Traitor & The Wretch is a grim fantasy with a surprisingly tender romance between two minor villains trying their best to outrun their terrible fates.

Written by me
Illustrated by @skulkingfoxes.bsky.social
Cover art by @fusspot.rip
With editing by @cknightwrites.bsky.social

A trope map showing the cover of The Traitor & The Wretch, with the two main characters. It reads: "Minor villains dungeon-crawling their way to a happy ending." "On the run from an entire kingdom that wants them both dead." "This guy helped raise a Chaos God to bring about the end times (he's not coping well)." "This guy tried to kill the Prophesized Hero (it ended badly)." "Enemies-to-Lovers" and "Mutated cave creatures! Undead horrors! Endless pitch black caves! Somehow, it's a romance!"

I've been seeing my favorite fuzzy friends around! 🍂🐛

Illustration of a wooly (sometimes spelled woolly) bear caterpillar. It's fuzzy and cute and has a happy little smile. There's lines radiating around it and above it says "it's wooly time!" in lowercase hand lettering. The background is a light orange checkered pattern.

Oh, and I'm not like a "birthday month" type of person or someone who expects princess treatment on their birthday, either. I just don't like being perceived, especially not in a fake way
