digital sketch of a comic page. in the top panel a wolf is staring at the viewer. in the second panel a surprised man is staring over at the wolf. they're in a forest.

listen. T. Kingfisher doesn't miss. I've read so many of her books and have never been disappointed and I'm STILL not. but I'm going to need Shieldborn to be MINIMUM like 700 pages long. I need every character that's been introduced in the series to be in it and merrily causing chaos.

Brilliant @alandslideofop1.bsky.social's pet shop cat-Ed and goldfish-Stede cross my mind so often. I did youngster versions of them a while back. 🧡 #OurFlagMeansDeath #ofmd

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death as a young cat and a young goldfish. Ed is black and white with fluffy ears and swishing his tail while sitting on top of the bowl. He's looking at Stede with a big cat grin. Stede is a gold and pink goldfish in the bowl with some insane foliage and pebbles. He's blowing heart shaped bubbles. They're gross in every universe.

from what I understand the answer is "she gets lots of ideas and if she doesn't write them down the demons won't let her out of her enclosure" but honestly I'm not questioning an author who never misses no matter the genre she writes, that kind of power can't be challenged, only respected

(enters the room, limping) I finished Bodies of Magic... I savored it but still HAD to know how it ended so I finished it a bit more quickly than I wanted to.... @freyamarske.bsky.social @libro.fm thank you for the book, the opportunity and the ALC and I'll be weeping in the corner now thanks

5 star review of Bodies of Magic by Freya Marske on Storygraph. The tags are: emotional, hopeful, mysterious, medium-paced. It is a mix of plot and character-driven, has strong character development, lovable characters, diverse characters, and their flaws are a main focus.

"5 stars, 10 stars, a million stars, Freya Marske is a genius and never misses and this is her Magnum Opus. I'm sure she'll top it with her next.

Always mind the content warnings and keep yourself in mind. It's lovely though, and the message is clear- life is worth fighting for. If you don't like something, try and change it. Have hope. Do all you can, but rest too."

My art makes me cry because I care so much and because it’s so hard. The process helps me evolve and the art is the result. Making it with no friction means nothing. “don’t fool yourself. (With ai) You aren’t writing. You’re shopping… It can’t hurt. You can. Pinch yourself, and rejoice.”

Comfort during those stormy nights 💙 #innkeepersweek #ofmd #ofmdfanart

Fanart of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death cuddling in bed, with Stede tucking Ed into his chest and Ed having an arm wrapped around Stede, clutching him. Their blanket wraps around their lower halves and they're surrounded by several pillows. Their cat sleeps up against Stede's back. Moonlight is streaming in from the window and casting a shadow that stretches over them. You can see the outline of tree branches as well. The art is done in a pale blue hue.
