I found a little stash of personal comics I made back in like...2010 - 2015? I saw this one and laughed. This was pre-remake so yeah, the beginning was a lot more cringe. But KS is made of cringe in general, so I still feel this one, haha. #comics #kuroshouri
A two panel sketch comic featuring me as a twenty-something, reading my own webcomic.
Panel 1: *I am happily reading* I've put a lot of time and effort into my comic. One would assume that I am somewhat proud of it.
Panel 2: *I am mortified* That is not the case at all.

I am jingling this as a form of "hey, if it helped, I wouldn't mind a tip." However, I am NOT in any kind of critical need. I do have an upcoming dental work appointment for a senior cat I adopted thanks to bluesky and we're looking at anywhere from $2100-$2800 in total that this would help offset.

Traumamuffin? Would I do that to a character? It couldn't be how Melody Fayth transitions from the Point-of-View in #CatsThePajamas to the mysterious badass in "Melody of". Certainly not something I'd have done to Horera. She's adorable. Huh. So mine are the ones who start kind and don't break.
Two panel digital comic.

In the first, a brown-eared dog-girl named Horera has a shield on her back and happily declares, "Horera snail!" The Seelie Paladin, Edmund, is confused but wants his shield back.

In the second, Horera without the shield mourns, "Horera slug!" Edmund has his shield back, but feels bad.

I've got lots of those characters. Mathias and Chana spring to mind (because I'm editing the Rose Book now). He's more stoic, while she lets her anger shine bright. The best, or worst, example is Elanor. I spent a lot of time thinking about her and how to make her more than just a victim.

“I wish you had more,” Shatter lamented to the shopkeeper. “We get little need for those here. Most injuries can be Healed. No need for the heavy-duty stuff.” “I like to be prepared,” Shatter informed him, as she looked over the healing herbs. Satisfied, she closed the crates. “I’ll need some hand-pulled carts to transport all this.” “Shouldn’t have sold all your mounts.” The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes. “Where did you say you were going? Could be a long trip on foot.” “Not far,” Shatter told him offhandedly. “Just along the Pearl River.” “Oh. Don’t go too far up that river — the mountains are haunted.” “Do tell,” Shatter replied, her interest piqued. “Well, the Spirit of the Exile Queen lives there. I’ve seen lights in the sky. Some of the hunters have seen them as well — especially lately. I wouldn’t go there for all the silver in the Queen’s pockets.” “I’ll keep that in mind.” He narrowed his eyes again. “I could recommend some good hands. Strong men. You might need some help, with winter so close.” “We have everything we need.” “I bet you do.” He looked at Willow. “How about you, child? Any need for a strong Feather-wing?” A lusty grin split his face. “As she said, we have everything we need,” Willow replied.

When your boss's son joins you for a walk on your rare day off, and you don't know if he's doing it just to defy his parents or if he genuinely wants to spend time with you, so against your better judgement you let him tag along--
A digital illustration of two characters walking side by side down a garden path in autumn. In the foreground and are some tree branches in their autumn colours, with their leaves scattered around the grass. In the background, out of focus, is a set of stone steps and the stone wall and windows of a large country house.

One is a short, brown-skinned woman wearing a green, red-orange and yellow plaid dress with a crinoline, underneath a brown and black overcoat with cape sleeves. She has a pale red bonnet trimmed with white lace and tied around her chin with a black ribbon, over her dark, neatly parted hair. 

The other character is a tall man with pale skin, blond hair, a pointy nose and thick eyebrows. He's wearing a blue sack suit with a matching vest, with lighter blue and red tartan pants. He's wearing a straw boater hat with a red ribbon that matches his tie. 

The woman has her light grey gloved hand raised to her face, as if holding back a laugh, while the man grins, blushes, and tips his hat at her. In his other hand, he carries a walking stick.

🔥FIRE TO FLOWERS🪻 After betraying her late lover, a vampire hiding her curse goes on a journey of penance with a holy knight possessed by her ex’s spirit. 🌹Black-coded elves 🌹Colorful dark fantasy 🌹Explanation, not excuses 🌹Equal platonic & romantic relationships #QuestPit #Q #DF #H #A #POC #LGBT
Moodboard for my novel Fire to Flowers, depicting a black woman covered in blood and roses, purple hyacinths, baroque architecture, fractal art, and a skinned dog monster.

Text describes some of the story's tropes: dual timelines, cosmic fractal horror, healing after trauma, visceral vampires, demons + angels (kinda), annoyances to friends, lush fantasy setting, and glimmers of hope.Comp titles for Fire to Flowers.

I Am Made of Death by Kelly Andrew:
Vibrant color
Visceral horror
Fear of oneself
Combative MCs

Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang:
Flawed characters
Political themes
Magic as science
Social status tensions

The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett:
Strange setting
Lush world
Queer-normative
Analytical MCProse samples from Fire to Flowers:

She would claim what she was owed. She would make every loathsome soul see the wages of their disdain. She would rip open the throat of this wretched world and watch paradise drown in its own blood.
Perhaps that, at least, would be enough.

“Behold, the most important room of the palace,” Tiferet announces, the fabric of her dress sparkling as she twirls in place. “Nowhere in Flaundrys will you find such a locus of staggering innovation and breathtaking beauty! The woman who resides here must surely be the envy of all Tron Daurat!”
Casimir glances, briefly, across the study, then rolls his eyes. “And that woman is you,” he drones.
Her arms drop, but a smirk still plays across her lips. “Oh, don’t spoil the fun.”

The death of an elf, once such a rare thing, still brings with it a small token of beauty. Perhaps it is one last unconscious act of creation performed just before the end, or perhaps it is merely the effect of the Ohr leaving their body. Whatever the cause, if the surroundings allow for it (even, at times, when they should not), a patch of mismatched flowers blooms at the site of their death.
Snowflakes fell in the town’s flower-choked streets, stark against the dark hues of dried blood and mangled remains, and Tiferet’s heart hardly stirred. It was a tragedy, yes; just like all the other tragedies that made up the last thirteen years.

The dark treeline behind the inn vomits a wave of horrors.
No two demons are anything alike. Some are hulking masses, some smaller than an elf. They crawl on teeth like fingers. They fly on feathers of skin. A tongue ends in a head, whose tongue ends in a head, whose tongue ends in a head. A face pockmarked with vacant holes stares at nothing. The tail of one wears the visage of a sleeping child.
And each is a vulgar, shrieking paroxysm of color.

(Too much text to include)Musical vibes for Fire to Flowers:

Witching Hour by In This Moment
Alraune - Whisperer of Dementia from Bayonetta 2
Keeping Secrets from Monaco 2
JFK by Azealia Banks
Drip by Nova Twins
The Dark Below by Tigercub
Born a Snake by P.O.S.
Way & Means by Snow Patrol

Other than having no clue just how powerful she is, Melody has a fairly accurate perception of herself that she makes a point of maintaining. Though her modesty can obscure that to others. Cat's commitment to her performance of her greatness is a significant factor in how accurate it ends up being.

I have just the moment for this! Av'ry has too many questions and can't think of the right one to ask...
Scrapping the final stubborn bits of dried blood from under her nails, Fox grabbed the towel from the floor and wrapped up her body and the narrative simultaneously.
	“Killing the dragon severed [redacted]. Once I was sure that Sylivyth was dead, I escaped through the sewer tunnels and came back to the inn. At that point, I imagine I lost consciousness. So, questions?”
	There was a long moment of silence.
	“Dragon blood is red?” Av’ry asked at last.
	“Really? That is the best question you could think of?” Fox replied, exasperated. 
	“There is so much to ask! I panicked,” he replied ruefully.

September 29th – well T’orrin really did not think this plan through. Nor does he have good answers for these questions. #DawnsBlood #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
	Slipping inside, T’orrin closed the door quietly behind him. And turned around to find two men in guard uniforms watching him intently. Perhaps he was wrong about his luck.
	“Well, well, well,” the first man stepped forward, “we were told to watch for people sneaking out of the city, not in. But this works just as well.”
	“I have no idea what you are talking about,” T’orrin stammered. “We are just cutting through our friends’ house, on our way back from hunting in the woods. We do it all the time. Just ask them.”
	“Hunting, eh?” The second man sneered. “Where is your game, then?”
	“Not my lucky day.”
	“And your weapons?”
	“Left them in the woods.”
	“And her shoes?” He nodded towards the woman’s bare, bleeding feet. 
	T’orrin hesitated. He didn’t have an answer for that one. It didn’t really matter anyway, because it was obvious that they weren’t buying his story. 
	The first guard stepped closer and pushed back the woman’s hood.

Sunday is a day for rest in some cultures and societies, so what's a better way to rest than read about not your typical Fairies?

#Septopolis 27 Usually this is pretty easy. Niona sets the laws and, as a god, is capable of enforcing compliance. Those who worship the gods all belong to them, at least a little bit. It isn't hard to force them to obey. And few would be foolish enough to defy her, trapped in her city.🧵

#Septopolis I touched on this yesterday with the structure of governance, and while many human facing agencies have a relatively normal human manning the helm, when it comes to the police, it's faceless and inhuman brutality all the way down.

Good morning, #Septopolis. ACAB and all but perhaps your world actually has a functioning civil servant system. Maybe it's self policing with its community. In any case, how is order upheld and what constitutes "order?" If it fits here... your #Juniplex system may be worth tagging in!
A daily prompt card for #Septopolis 2026, hosted by @khonri.com.

Government & Civics, 27. How are laws enforced here, and are there any unusual laws (either for the setting or to us)? Going wider, is there a local defense force, and what are they used to defend against?

Interpret each prompt as suits your needs! Talk about relevant characters! Yap! Or don't! Develop a new city or whatever or talk about one you already built. Make friends.

The background features a slightly blurred and purple hued image of the upper section of a set photograph of Main Commercial Street in Fritz Lang's Metropolis (UFA, 1927) of towering buildings.
