Drowned Hearts by @karenlykkebo.com!!!
5 star review of Drowned Hearts by Karen Lykkebo From the opening line to the last paragraph, I was captivated! I really enjoyed the descriptions of the setting! There are really amazing lines that really draw you in! Very spooky and atmospheric! This is a chilling read with a phenomenal twist I didn't see coming! The ending, in particular, was so unsettling and brilliant! This is definitely one that will stick with me! Cannot recommend this enough and have been gushing about it to all my friends who would listen!

Still not able to work. Getting better, but appendicitis turned into complications with a month long hospital stay. Lost a lot of time, a lot of income, struggling to stay afloat. Help if you can.

Wanted to finalize a concept for my own Beast form for Leigh, based on the hairier half-transformed one I used on another pic.

Nothing necessarily inappropriate here vs typical body horror, but it still has Implications (as well as... freak adjacency), so I'll stick to tagging it #freakoutside
Beast Leigh, drawn in both a bipedal stance as well as the canonical "crawling on back" stance.

Only two more sleeps until BE NOT AFRAID releases! I'm so excited. I think this guy is excited too.

Want a fast-paced survival horror novella my early readers couldn't put down? It's got angels, gore, and a deadbeat guitarist in the middle? Find it below! ⬇️

Countdown graphic for BE NOT AFRAID. The seraph character stands staring creepily at the viewer, holding a copy of Be Not Afraid by S. Jean. His wings spread out behind him, one eyeball showing beneath the feathers. His grin is full of sharp teeth and blood trails down his chin. A word bubble from him reads: "PREORDER MY BOOK". Along the bottom of the image is more text that reads: "2 days remain" and a URL for where to find the book: books.earlronove.com/benotafraid

Could I perhaps entice you to read Songs of Broken Bells with these incredibly niche ‘tropes’?

Also inside you’ll find:
🔥 Rich worldbuilding
🔔 Queernormative setting
🔥 Found family
🔔 Meddling saints
🔥 Magical corruption

Buy it from your preferred online bookstore! buy.bookfunnel.com/rktaq3muij
A paperback of songs of broken bells against a brick backdrop. There are bells on ribbon hanging above it. There is text with arrows pointing towards the book. Cover description: It features the four main characters arranged in a diamond formation, a stained glass design at the top with a sun on one side and shadows on the other, and a string of cracked bells on the sides. Liadan is at the bottom, holding up a candle. She has orange skin, silver hair, black rams horns, and black markings on her arms. She's wearing a green cloak and a yellow dress. Vasil is to her left. He is also holding a candle. Vasil has brown skin with a bark-like texture with patches of paler skin and moss. His hair is brown and curly. He is wearing a green caftan with yellow filigree. Minno is on the right, also holding a candle. They have pale skin, blonde hair with braided sideburns, and round framed glasses. They are wearing a white shirt with part of their kilt (in a brown and blue tartan) draped over one shoulder. Aila is behind the other three characters with her wings wrapped around them. She has pink skin, magenta hair styled in pigtail braids, and small pointed horns. She has a red scarf. (Cover art by heavenlystarr (Yune)) Text: Sentient forest that will kill you, sentient fire magic that will kill you, inside you there are 7 wolves, precocious goblin wisdom, daddy issues (dad is a god)

low effort meme of my OCs from Entangled.

all three of them are chaotic, but i think Exo and Faer would be the most because they've known each other for the longest
Cartoony drawing of a meme of Verbena (a green plant-based alien) holding two leashes. On each leash there's Exo (an angel inspired alien) and Faer (a blue alien with tusks, a third eye and dreads).
