thanks for the promo Ash 🥰 hope you enjoy!

Oh I’m reeling, nothing’s gonna top this review of Blight from @teavi.bsky.social, I’ve been hoping to inspire tamora-pierce-adjacent feelings from my work since i was a wee one. I’m SO!!!

I have been messing around all day practically with pigeons but here's the only one I painted fresh today.

And I'm going to tell you something else. When you read a book, there were days that the writer hated everything they wrote, days they cried over the page, days they ate an entire bowl of candy corn just to fuel the useless words. But the reader can't tell, because you can always fix it later. 9/

So here comes the encouragement:
* you are not alone
* this, too, shall pass
* keep writing because someone needs your story
* keep writing because you love the craft
* you have survived 100% of the times that felt impossible
* art is rebellion
* art feeds your soul
* winter is for lying fallow 8/

oooh these all look like fun but the simply gilded site made me gasp, it’s gorgeous!! thank you for these reccos, i’ll be investigating further for sure!! 😍

aaaah, this was lovely! so glad things went so splendidly for you this year after you went for it on all those different levels 💖 major congrats!! also sticker subscriptions sound fabulous, i gotta look into this 👀

oh legit, i watch things i like a zillion times, i just enjoy excuses to post gifs and see what’s on people’s minds when those game-type things roll around

bluesky why on earth do you give me the option to add alt text to gifs, whereupon of course i do, only to not show the option to actually read the alt text once the gif is posted 😭

honestly you’re so right, no wonder it’s the inspo for the hall of justice
