✨intro post✨

Hi, I'm Louise Holland. I write indie fantasy books based on the real life escapades of my unhinged dnd table. My love of classic adventure fantasy is rivaled only by the big 3 S's (Sanderson, Skyrim & Swift)

here's some dorky infographics to give you more context

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead”

even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.

Updates:

• I wrote 3000 words in the last 48 hours
• genAI is ick and we should all still commission artists (incl narrators for audio books, covers, fan art, & yourself as a ghibli character)
• the new hunger games book made me cry so much I had to drink a Gatorade.

I think that's all ✌️

Just deleted the X app off my phone and my entire facebook account. We'll see how I go without messenger I guess?

Genuinely feel so bad for all the 🇺🇸 tiktok creators losing their jobs & livelihoods.

I had a most excellent time at Dragonsteel! Still pinching myself to check it was real.

My only problem is I bought so much stuff I now must side quest for an extra suitcase. Wish me luck as I search for a Walmart 🤣

it's my birthday today, and it's becoming clearer each year that once you've had The Bad Birthday things will never quite feel the same.

(if you don't know what I'm talking about I'm extremely happy for you)

So are we shitposting on here yet or are we still pretending this is going to be more put-together than the bird app? Because personally I can't wait to get back to shitposting.

Just saw Wicked - it was absolutely fantastic, brilliant work, bawled my eyes out.

BUT jfc I don't think I can let my kid watch it, because I'm not ready to have a conversation about why Ariana's sternum is so pronounced it looks like she ate a plastic butterfly. The thinness is legit terrifying.

Btw if we're mutuals & interact on other platforms but I haven't followed you back here – like this post/let me know! Everyone's jumping ship at the same time, it's easy to miss people.

(promise I don't secretly hate you)

Me: Definitely. How specific can we get?
