If you're not in enough discord servers, I made one for my Riyati series! I'm hoping to share updates + tidbits in it, and made sure it's lurker friendly (no public join notification) If you'd like to join, can do @ riyati.ink/discord πŸ’™

lol. yes.

#LGBTQWriteAThon #EchoSight #TaintedFaculties #ScentOfSmoke #pride #WriteSky My setting's too far removed from our world by time & literal space for me to make many direct cultural references, but there's at least one mystery ref & also a "stealthy" nod to the Ninja Turtles. Can you find it? lol.

#FantasyIndiesJune #booksky What type would *I* want to learn? 1. Youthful Immortality/Health Magic 2. Teleportation 3. Elemental manipulation (any of them are good, but I'd get the most satisfaction out of air [flying], water [utility], or fire [flashiness].) I could do w/e I wanted w those.

#JuneWorldbuilders #EchoSight #WritingCommunity #πŸ“šπŸ’™ Day 18: Companion Creatures Fun answer: Does Enaka count as a companion creature to Theso if they're not human? (Despite Enaka being narrator/POV, lmao.) Their answers differ. Serious answer: Rua (nature spirits helping magicians) would count.

This sounds like a fantastic idea, #booksky friends.

When you're sucking on that "It's a Distraction" juice so long it's the only rationalization you can think in. Hey buddy. Pal. Go the fuck outside. (Sorry for the political posts. I'm just...*screams*)

Seriously, I'm sick of this. Even with all the ethical problems involved in their development, the capitalist slime that market them, their many unlawful and harmful uses, you're still gonna go "Yeah uh but it makes coding slightly faster" or "it can help me remember a word so imma use it" fuck you

Need to draaaaaw. Want to wriiiiite. Getting out of the house this morning for unofficial writing club was nice, though. Got to touch grass. See people. Visit a library. 10/10 recommend doing social group activities with other adults in your area, even if it's 1/wk or 1/mo.

Suggest masking in groups and around strangers (you know if you need to with family or friends.) You don't want this, says a good friend who can barely swallow water. :(

Detox Doodles! This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily! This page is all about cute little sugar gliders! #art #SugarGlider #animal #sketch #DetoxDoodles #sciart #inkart

I am cursed with crippling self-doubt & eternal existential dread, HOWEVER: Even my anxious ass can't miss how into my tabletop campaign my players are. This is why I love being creative: that ability to draw out others' emotions w my silly little guys & my worlds & stories. Nothing beats this.

#LGBTQWriteAThon #WritingCommunity #EchoSight #pride ime, queer folks often flock together, & the three main characters of my #TaintedFaculties series is no exception! From Book 1 we know that Enaka's nb & bi/pan-romantic w/o directly stating the obvious. But Theso & Cavid have their own IDs, too.

#PretendPanel I didn’t really consciously put any themes in when I was drafting but once I identified the themes that wanted to be told I started expanding on them. Found family is a big one, growth/healing, learning to trust, taking your fate into your own hands, & those in power are often useless

I WILL get all the eevolutions one day on the Pokemon TCG app. 😭❀️

Unfortunately, the higher-tier senka can use other people as skin-suits, being the fungal xenomorphic semi-hivemind that they are. Including their victims' clothes, you could say they know how to layer well.
