Had a lovely LA wedding weekend ☺️✨

Kiara Valdez @dezinpub.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

On Friday I wore this cute outfit to a friend date at Morgan Library’s tarot exhibition. I took many photos of my favorite tarot card, the fool, but this cunty one was my favorite.

My corn snake Posey suddenly passed on August 11th and I received his ashes back yesterday. Rest well my goofy pink charmer. The sweetest Virgo boi I was blessed to know. I’m so deeply heartbroken that our time was suddenly cut short but I was blessed to have had your company.

It’s so incredibly difficult to pick a favorite because Haikyuu!! has countless unforgettable arcs, but in all of shounen Tsukki’s character arc is easily one of my favorites (and most beautifully written). IYKYK and if you don’t, go read and find out! Especially if you need some hope-core. 😭

A reread is always wonderful—especially because it holds so much hope which is like desperately needed these days. I just go to my Haikyuu wall ☺️

I watched my beloved Aang Gang in theaters this morning. I feel blessed I got to see it on the big screen and it would have been beautiful if more ppl had also gotten the chance to do so (f*ck you Paramount).

Cute outfits I’ve worn recently.

ANN is so quick with those updates 🤣💜💜 Excited to see this page slowly populate. I mean starting real strong cz Shuna’s Journey will forever be a bragging right.

A little commotion for these Kuromi press-ons that only lasted about 24 hours on my fingers before starting to pop off due to crappy glue.

Kiara Valdez @dezinpub.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Stepping Up and a few quotes of mine were featured in a lovely PW article! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Yesterday I had a beautiful Mami’s Magic Words book launch! So many of my wonderful friends and family came out to support me. A handful also joined me for a mini food tour of my childhood neighborhood since the event space was only a few blocks from where I grew up. 🥹💜

One of the cutest hairstyles I’ve done as of late. ☺️

My first time officially signing my books!💜✨ I’m still getting used to my author signature.

✨Surprise✨ Due to a bit of shuffling in Random House Worlds I will be moving from BOOM! to Inklore. I will be taking on Inklore’s growing list of manga localizations and the robust Disney Manga list. ☺️💜 This truly feels like a decade-long full circle moment since I’ve always wanted to work in manga!

After nearly a year of ignoring it, I’m trying to work through the trauma of the end of my previous job. My stress and emotional distress got so bad in the final months I developed ARFID and a long habit of taking clonozepam for the Sunday scaries. I now feel strong enough to face my past self.

Kiara Valdez @dezinpub.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

I got my author copies of my original debut picture book Mami’s Magic Words (with the wonderful Richy Sanchez Ayala). Can’t believe it coming out in less than two weeks. ☺️ See full unboxing video on my IG. 💜 www.instagram.com/reel/DXNft-a...

I love with my new Fellow carter! This will surely decrease my unnecessary cafe coffee purchases. I had to pay homage to my beloved Haikyuu!! series with the engraved [ 飛べ ] slogan ☺️

Throwback to one of my favorite customized shirts. I need to go make a winter version of it for real. This, this, and always this.

Lately my life has just been blind boxes and a cocktail of meds to try to fix my spiraling mental health 🙃 in better news: I have my debut original picture book and debut original GN coming out this year. ☺️

One of the few things that have kept me sane this year is digging deeper into my Kuromi hyper-fixation (and unfortunately drowning in a popmart & miniso blind box obsession). Here is my updated Kuromi wall!

Kiara Valdez @dezinpub.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Simply me. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Just bragging a bit about how I (with Whit’s emotional and magical support) successfully secured Whit and I great tickets to see our goddesses in NYC. It was a bloodbath 😭🙏🏾

Kiara Valdez @dezinpub.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

To think I constantly wanted to (emotionally) jump out a window just two months ago. God really has been looking out for me. 🙏🏾

Serendipity is closing a chapter of nine years and also by chance cutting off nine inches of hair. For those who may not yet know, I have accepted an offer at another publisher and as of last Friday am no longer a part of First Second.
