Pokemon GO!
Vivillon Patterns. Every so often, I’ll remind followers that I’m a pokemon trainer. ::twinkle:: Since I just completed the Vivillon collection challenge this morning, I thought I’d brag a bit & see if anyone needs a friend. I play daily, participate in raids, and send gifts from the High Plains region.
I added the elusive Sandstorm patterned Vivillon to my collection thanks to a new friend in Jerusalem. ::blows kiss::
If you also play Pokemon GO, drop me an email with your friend...

Bard & Barbarian
Updated! Bard & Barbarian has updated over on my Patreon with Ch65: “Floundering,” because any time spent in the company of a Cataclysm (traditionally) leads to disaster. ::twinkle::

If
Coop excitedly asked, “I could meet someone else? Another wolf?”
“Not a wolf. Let me see what Charles thinks, first.”
“Okay, sure.” He took a receptive posture, but predicted, “He’ll say yes.”
“We’ll see. Let’s put away your deer fodder.”
“So… is ...

Small World
“If you need more, there can be more.” Daroo asked, “Were you hoping to define the path you’re on? Or to split off onto an entirely new path?”
“The first, I guess.” Coop rolled his eyes. “It’s not like I’m going anywhere.”
“Because you can’t...

He took a pleading posture...
Narration, Day 2
Suuzu and the Nine Nippets of Legend. Travis will be wrapping up Suuzu’s story today. My invitation bears repeating: if you’d like to get in on the fun and listen to the making of an audio book LIVE, drop by his Discord server (Cryptid Audio) and join us in the #listeners-lounge. Start times vary. A couple hours, maybe?
The audio edition of Amaranthine Interludes 1 & 2 will release in July.

Dichotomy Day
Quarterly Art Card. Happy Solstice! I’m finally getting around to showing you the art for this quarter. Junpei’s portrait turned into a larger piece incorporating paper parasols. Fox and I decided that while red flowers were a must … we could next-level things by including the Junzi/Four Gentlemen. Junpei is the main character from Flattered by Flowers (Songs of the Amaranthine, #8), and yes … as many of you have guessed, he’ll be recurring in Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons. (Coming this fall!
