Today is cloudy and cool. Last night it rained with high winds.

I fed the birds. I've seen a few sparrows.

I put out water for the birds.

What I thought was a branch blown down in the house yard is actually the contorta willow sapling that died. I may see if I can make something from it.

Not feeling up to Snowflake this week. I've been writing, writing (after months of ambiguity re: how an important chunk of my novel unfolds I figured it out and...it's going to be good, even if I do say so myself). Also, my fridge died (while it was full and partner D was out of town, why why does it always happen this way).

So, have a couple of instagram links.

Heated Rivalry turns out not to be my thing. Not because of the hockey but because (for me!) it's too much like fic. But I find the leads totally charming, so HERE'S Hudson Williams on Jimmy Fallon.

Also, five movies coming out in 2026, all of which I'm excited to watch.

BTW, Duval Timothy - who, along with CJ Mirra did the soundtrack for My Father's Shadow - is great. HERE's his bandcamp page if you want to check him out.

I'm not brave or savvy enough anymore to wade in other socmed platforms, but thankfully I have friends who are... and found K-9 COSPLAY!!! :D :D They look SO COOL!!!!!

This is Oboro (CN: blood) by

suigei_cos. It feels kind of crazy to see the blood actually red haha since the manga is all black and white. When we get an anime, which we totally will for sure yes, I'm so curious to see what kind of shade they go with when animating his power.

Then more Oboro (CN: still blood!) also by

suigei_cos. With fire and smoke effects!!! Looking SO COOL!!! 😍

Oboro on a date with Ren or so Oboro says XD Also by

suigei_cos.

And my beloved Ren solo by

323runaruna aaaah looking seriously incredible. SO COOL! COSPLAYERS ARE SO POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍

I shall go and lie down for a while now.

This book is very silly. It's like creepypasta with floor plans.

But it's briskly written and quickly read. And unique, if that counts for anything. What it isn't is scary, suspenseful, or atmospheric. Read this if you enjoy troubling floor plans and baseless speculation, or if you want to see what all the fuss is about. Probably best on paper so you can reference the floor plans on the facing page.

Contains: murder, suicide, child abuse, child death, incest, ableism, polygamy.

Challenge #5

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.

1. If you read and like any of my fics, please leave kudos and/or comments! I love both!

2. I also welcome any art, podfics, etc. on any of my fics. If anything inspires you I love seeing how people interpret my stuff into new works. Please provide me with a link to the work so I can add it to the fic and boost it! My transformative works policy is on my profile page; if you're interested in podficcing, please see my additional notes re podfics.

3. And most importantly, I wish for more justice, kindness, and peace in the world.

Snowflake Challenge 5: Wishlist

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.

If you have wishes for transformative works of your own works or another's work, remember to include links to those sources in order to make it easier for people to create.

Be sure to check out other people's wishlists. Maybe someone will grant your wish! Maybe you will be inspired to grant a wish! If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.

This is one of my favorite challenges. It can be difficult for a lot of people to ask for things, so remember not to put too much pressure on yourself for coming up with the perfect wishlist! Your wishes could be something you're recently interested in or something you've wanted for a long time but were afraid to ask for or anything in between. There are no limits!
