I was SO stressed about fixing the hardback files for The Fabulous Gays—thinking it’d take hours to get everything right and resubmit—but when I actually sat down it ended up taking ~20 minutes 😅

Back at it again reinterpreting Pokemon sprites, this time trying out my new art style on this Geodude! 😏👍

Also, can we just take a second and appreciate just how good Geodude’s name is? It’s such a clever bit of wordplay, I love it~

Hear me out.

We all know that doctors who wear their lab coat outside of the clinic are all assholes.

Now, what if the same is true for wizards in fantasy settings? What if people saw the party’s wizard and thought “wow look at this asshole wearing his robe outside the academy”

This thought was brought to you by my research on why we as a culture decided that wizards wear robes.

By the way, one possible reason we do is that the archetype of the “wise old man” (aka the “wizard”) originates w...

I’m going to tell you a writing secret:

🚫 There are no rules 📏

Really! Most advice (including mine) is just recommendations. Things that may work for you. They are supposed to help, but if they don't—pay them no mind and get back to writing. 👍

I know it’s easy to hear stuff like “NEVER Start Your Book With Weather” and worry that you’re already failing at Being a Writer, even before you’ve started writing your book!

But the thing is, nobody can stop you! There’s no writing police. You can w...

I was out of commission for a couple days, mostly because of the fatigue, but every time I bounce back I feel better and better. 💗

I got a bunch of drawing and posts done today, expect lots of art this week! Including Pokes & OCs! 😏✨

Trying out the new style on your Friendly Neighborhood Disaster-Gay: Hoshi! ⭐️✨

I keep trying to come up with terrible crop-tops for Hoshi but it’s not working. They are just too powerful, they’d wear *anything* 😨

I was so happy with how this came out that I just had to draw more characters from Hoshi’s book~

And so, I present to you their lovely s/o: Cami! 🧡💚

A new month means a new start! ✨

Is there something you’ve been wanting to do? Make it happen this month! Download/print the calendar and cross each day you work towards your goal.

Let’s make it happen! 🙌

Working on your goal, even if it is a few minutes each day or only on the weekends, is better than doing nothing at all. The only way your dreams will become a reality is if *you* make them happen!

You won’t be alone, by the way! I’m taking the challenge myself. I’m printing out the calend...
