Wix has increased my yearly web hosting fees by 20% this year. Is anyone out there happy with their website situation? I'm looking for something simple, preferably with a webstore, and not $500 CDN a year

Fate is a twisting wild entity. This quarter our main characters are bound by the threads of fate and must navigate their tangled destinies.

The Rainbow Crate team is pleased to reveal that our R.A.D. February 2026 theme is…

🧵 THREADS OF FATE 🪡

Read on to learn more! 🧵
A neon sign on a dark brick wall. The sign says “Threads of Fate” in rainbow and red neon text. A rainbow thread icon is to the left of fate, while a needle and thread with a heart in it is to the right of fate. Turquoise text is curved around the top and says "R. A. D. Presents.". A neon rainbow glows in between RAD and Presents. Text is along the bottom and says "- February 2026 -" in turquoise neon font. Nine multicolored four pointed stars decorate the image.

falling from grace ☄️
A rough sketch of my character Circ, his expression warring between smiling and crying as glowing tears roll down his cheeks, appearing to melt out of his starburst pupils. The whites of his eyes are turning black. He has short fluffy glowing white hair and several earrings and wears a thick silver collar with a large ring around his neck. His skin is a mottled gray with white freckles.

I've been wanting to redraw this character before Valhalla book 1 released. Oops lol. Anyway, here's Vardan new look, and me attempting hairy arms lol. I also like the tattered edges of the coat, I've always wanted to try that too.

My new adult contemporary fantasy romance trilogy is untraditional in a few ways, but here's one: each book has a different FMC. But have no fear, the previous main characters will still be in the subsequent books! And it means you get three different romances 🤭

Treated myself to a very serious Hikaru for my cooldown sketch
Rough sketch of my character Hikaru with a serious expression on as his hair blows dramatically in the wind and these winding threads wisp around him. He has long wavy hair tied back with a ribbon, wears glasses, and is dressed in his usual old-fashioned professor attire.

anyway, I took a bit of a break from bsky and I probably still won't be posting as often as I did before except to share fun things I make or share important announcements ✌🏼

last #wipwednesday on IG, since I mentioned it in a live chat, I shared a snippet of the most bisexual scene in TBOAD 💖💜💙
“Relax, Ehren. The key to dancing with a partner is all about subtle touch. Mathieu is leading, so when he presses forward on your hand, you step back…” Adrian pressed her fingers into Ehren’s hip and pulled him towards her, making his breath hitch at the warm, prickling sensation of her touch through his clothes. “And when he presses into your back, you step forward.” Adrian had a hand over Mathieu’s, and Ehren felt both their combined pressures as he stepped forward, nearly brushing noses with Mathieu and feeling the young man’s wine-tinted breath on his lips. As novel as it was to touch another man like this, Ehren was even more stimulated by Adrian’s firm, but gentle, guiding touches and the way her voice sent soft vibrations down his neck as she whispered into his ear. With Mathieu at his front and Adrian at his back, both gentle and patient partners, they all moved together for a few measures of the music, and Ehren realized he was somehow successfully dancing a waltz.
