Not sure I've ever posted about it on Bluesky, but I have some concepts kicking around for a future (?) game (?) I'd love to make that is an RPG with dating sim and rhythm game elements where you play as an isekai'd skater girl who becomes a bard to save a fantasy world from a litch: "Heartsong"

A height chart showing character designs for a Litch queer, a tall handsome woman named "Veles", a main character skater girl in fantasy medieval attire, a cute short pink-haired, dark-skinned magical girl named "Helia", and Riot the anarchist Tiefling

Concept art for Riot the anarchist Tiefling

Art of the main character, an isekai'd skater girl "skating" on a hovering shield while playing a large medieval lute, saying, "Oh sorry, did I distract you? ...Anyway here's Wonderwall!"

I don't use ai for inspiration. I don't use ai to write. I don't use ai for anything. I simply sit and WRITE. Because it's MINE. Because I LOVE it. And if it gets tough, I just keep WRITING.

Anton, a character from the movie Ratatouille. He has bags under his eyes, and he's wearing glasses, and has an intense gaze, as he approaches someone, leaning down, and addressing them.

New sweater design debuting this weekend at London MCM comic con EGX 🎮✨

A crop of our new sand coloured sweater worn by Stef. The design is a pink and dark blue screen print, featuring a cat wrapped in a blanket playing a handheld console. Behind them, a big speech bubble coming off the console shows a chibi version of the cat running around an island chasing a butterfly with a big net. They are playing a nice cosy game.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.
