no shade to the authors btw!! i just miss mmpb's ,,, my beloved bricks ,,,,, also bummed bc now i'll probably ebook this instead of trying to read this tall-and-thick-for-no-reason paperback ;n;

why when i order a paperback book nowadays (even the MMPB!!) they all have HUGE margins, type 16 font, and a paragraph break for every sentence 😭😭😭 plus the pages are so thick and textured yuck!!!! i miss old paperbacks urghh! if i wanted a large print that's what i'd order... 700 pg by 1300 pg...

photo of 700 page When the Moon Hatched by 1300 page Towers of Midnight. they are the same thickness, Towers of Midnight is shorter by ~1.5inches

photo of both books opened to page 64. on the left is huge margins, large font, tall line spacing, and excessive paragraphs. on the right is a tight line spacing page with smaller font and margins

i'd been handmaking a layout close to the techo each year in a blank journal myself, so it was nice not to have to do that! i'm gonna use them again this yr. i'm basic tho, and just use pens and highlighters, so i cant weigh in on how well it works for bullet journaling! here's mine:

alt.caye ⟡ @altcaye.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

your bullet journals are so pretty 🥹🥹 i love the snakes and the one with the bees, deer, and lattice !! i used two hobonichi's for the first time this year, an A5 techo as my daily journal/planner and a weeks for work. the paper is super smooth, but i did find it was picky abt what pens you can use

depression and stress got me reading 600/990 pages of a wheel of time book in 24 hours. my only escape from The Horror is immersing myself completely in these characters, who are also going Through It, but in cool and brave and powerful ways. meanwhile i call in sick and huddle in my blankets... 💔

the art 🥴😅 with the amount i struggle with my own ocs, i feel like i will miss the mark for others by a mile. and i know how much i LOVE others' drawings of mine, every time ?? so i don't know what my deal is. i hope i can be brave and finish these ideas/wips.

alt.caye ⟡ @altcaye.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

ashamedd bc i joined artfight just to struggle so hard with human faces (which are all the attacks i wanted to do). i really dont know what or why the block is there, but i feel like my interpretation of others' human ocs is going to be so Bad and Wrong that they hate

aaa YAY!!!! 💕💕💕💕 so happy for you!!

also - i cannot nail down laela at all !! avett is easier, some minor tweaks here from the last... but besides laela having dark hair and hazel eyes, she's so vague ughh here she looks too much like senna and tbh avett is a little tavi-esque... my birds... 💔💔

only drawing a lovers gaze will cure my artblock 💔 played around with the muted palette style, but idk if i like it yet. i cant find a sketching/lining brush that hits the way my normal one does, but it takes 12 hours to line anything (and i just dont have the creative stamina for that rn 🥲)

sketch with loose colors in a very muted palette. two people looking longingly at each other. the woman, Laela, on the left is looking up and gripping the man's shirt. Avett on right is looking down at her, his posture is more pulled back, yet their noses are nearly touching. a bright sphere is behind their heads, and a thorny flowered branch is in the lower right corner.

ehehehe!!! thank you aaa!!!! 💕💕💕 i feel like 80% of my art (and most of my finished pieces) end up loving gazes ahahaa i just cant get enough !!! 💕💕 i will def share more soon !! thank youuu for being so hype abt them 🥹🥹

010

alt.caye ⟡ @altcaye.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

i told myself not to share too many details abt the story just yet, mostly bc once i say something it feels like i have to stick to it and i'm still finishing structure for the mid/end + hella worldbuilding that i'm TRYING not to over or under plan. BUT ... art doesnt count ? right? bahaha

alt.caye ⟡ @altcaye.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

and what if i told you all i had new blorbos to rotate? 👉🏼👈🏼 💕 from my new novel project, here is (the initial sketch of) laela and avett hehehe its hard to narrow them down visually, more than my birds ever were. rn i'm still planning so things abt them change more i guess?

rough sketch of a woman with her hands on the face of a man kneeling before her. he looks up at her with a pleading look, while she looks searchingly into his eyes

OH YA! the tree saga is resolved, but as its final goodbye, the professional tree trimmers felled it right onto my fence 💀💀💀 they rebuilt it the next day (though pretty poorly...) the tree no longer hangs over my head, literally, so it is what it is!!!
