I'm still really proud of this art of Valian, and I learned a lot about shading for different tones and undertones from this one ✨️ I'm also stoked about all the details 👁👅♠️

I'm also jazzed that so many people are starting love this skeevy little man as much as I do 🐁💕

I love this little rat man to the point of impropriety.

A Musing Monday 🎐

Today I'm musing about extradimensional spaces! Like Mary Poppin's bag, or 'eatery that connects to an isekai' anime, or your mind, even.

I do think the mind is a type of extradimensional space. We fit the essence of so many places and moments and people into the folds of our memory, contained in the little box that is our skulls. We imagine worlds, we dream entirely separate lifetimes. It's wild, and amazing, and a little terrifying.

Occasionally I think about how the entire world around me is MY world- in that my only access to reality is through my own interpretations, experiences, and the senses that link to my brain, all of which may or may not be close to the truth of reality. When I die one day, my world dies too- not one creature on earth will live in the same world that I knew due to my relationship with everything perceivable to me.

Before I get TOO existential here though (or maybe I'm getting more existential)- think of what that means for writers! We are masons crafting gateways to extradimensional spaces. Through what we do, people can visit the pocket dimensions of OUR minds, dimensions that have the possibility to continue existing long after the mind/wold that created it expires. And because everyone perceives things through their own lens, writing one story and sharing it creates the potential for countless alternate dimensions; every soul that reads your work will carry their own personal version of it in their mind. If you have a hit count or something similar on your work, THAT'S how many dimensions you've created, at least.

Not only that, but when someone reads what you've written, THEIR world alters. It may be slight, your work or your post might provide a momentary reprieve from the part of their world they're avoiding or decompressing from (which is still a very important thing), or it may give them an idea of their own, it may motivate them to make one choice over another choice, it may alter the very way they think and interact with their family, their partners, themselves. You very well may alter the fabric of what a person is, the dimension of their mind warping with the way it interacts with your dimension.

Never forget that as a writer, or any creator of art for that matter, you are a world-builder, a world-shatterer, a world-repairer; a powerful and magical being that may alter the course of history. Writing is magic, and it's sorcery, and I desperately hope even the small unconfident blogs on here recognize that power.

Tagging a bunch of cool writers: @cowboybrunch @the-golden-comet @lychhiker-writes @wyked-ao3 @rotting-moon-writes

If I didn't tag you you're still super cool! The world of my brain is just made of swiss cheese and glitches a lot 🫠💕

On the curse side, It can take me a month to finish a chapter that's A Little Too Sad. On the blessed side I can crank out a 3k word sex scene in a couple of hours.

This is my work-life balance as a writer.

Late valentine's post of Kazimier, my shapeshifting incubus character. This amazing art was gift from my friend Furazoa!

I kknow absolutely nothing about your characters but are they homosexuals

They look it

That there group of characters are in fact genuine ho-mo-sexuals, yessiree.

[To be more queerly precise here:

🌻Klaus is pansexual, panromantic, cisgendered. Sexually nonmonogamous but flexible, romantically open to polyfidelity.

💋Kazimier is grey-ace but pansexual, somewhere on the aromantic spectrum, and is gender-fluid. Strictly nonmonogamous sexually, romantically.. unwilling.

🌠Seeker is androsexual, biromantic, and intersex with some demifem identifying. Culturally predisposed to polyamory.

🐁Val is pretty apathetic to all notions of these identities, he identifies as a bloke just lookin to get by.

At least that's how they are off the top of my head lmao 😅]

Tagging peeps incase any o yall wanna talk about how your characters identify.

Genuine question, why are your pronouns structured like they/them/he?

Is that in lime order of preference or smth

(obviously no hate, genuinely curious)

I am a genderfluid cryptid first and foremost, but like masculine titles like Sir.

It's a shorthand for whatever gender that is, I suppose.
