#QueerPrompts so technically elves, Khítians, dhaidinians, and khargs are indigenous species to the whole world of Enaros. Humans are not.

Tho I have a group of nations that are inspired by native cultures around the world.

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

Posted more art on Cara. This one is the first time I drew Ifris, who appears in my book, It's Only A Little Death, which was written years later. The story of how he came about, which I wrote in the Cara post, is pretty interesting 💙 (he was trans before I knew what trans was 😆) #art #artwork #ocs

the fact that they consider us using our brains as *checks notes* being lazy... is quite a take. Given I put so much fucking work into my writing, my art, and learning languages.

Imagine not putting that effort into anything. Couldn't be me.

we really need to just have a fucking full on movement returning us to fucking SANITY. To before fucking hand washing, not coughing on people, etc were the fucking norm.

The Marriage Braggart @bombsfall.bsky.social · 9h

If the US can ever vomit this stupid era out we're gonna need widespread all-ages education on basic facts like when you'd see old billboards or MST3k shorts advertising the concept of hand washing or being good. Stop Using Gasoline To Wash Clothes. Springs Are Ubiquitous & Essential To Modern Life

Phantom and Rook by Aelina Isaacs

This has an odd dreamy tone to it. On the one hand, there's a ticking clock and an intense relationships. On the other, things that would have been major plot movers in another book fade into the background here.

Book Cover for Phantom and Rook by Aelina Isaacs

A crowded faux-medieval street is adorned with flowers and bunting, and packed with various beings of all ages. A bright light shines from the far end, highlighting two figures wile the rest are in shadows.

One is a tall man - a head taller than anyone else on the street, with long, fluffy, brown hair, in a wildly colorful striped rainbow coat, looking with disgruntled puzzlement at the second man.

The second man is about to raise the hood on his brown hoodie, looking dubiously over at the tall man. His hair is bright red, haloed with light.
