This year for #secretsamol I had rosehipsister who requested "tender sky or another character working through the levels of the by-and-by", so I made a little (barely) visual novel about moving up the layers of the By-and-By! mguzdial.itch.io/ascending-th...

happy #secretsamol! my gift is for a friend who requested perennial and clementine discussing time and space. i did a multi-media embroidered portrait of perennial using hand spun wool yarn, silk ribbons, embroidery floss, and crystal rhinestones on kimono silk, then posed with it in cosplay.

Happy Secret Samol (pt 1) to @vampireroutines.bsky.social !! I loved getting to draw a cozy, domestic moment with Adaire/Hella/Adelaide #secretsamol #friendsatthetable

Friends at the Table fan art: in a cozy, well-lit kitchen, Adaire slices bread. She watches as Hella tries to carry over a large pot of soup while Adelaide flirtatiously rests her head on Hella's shoulder.

My #secretsamol piece that I did for @tapetraveler.bsky.social, in which I faced my greatest artistic challenge; drawing two people interacting. In the end i was pretty happy with how it turned out. #friendsatthetable

An ink and watercolor drawing of Pickmen and Ms. Chantilly Scathe from friends at the table. Pickmen is leaning down while Ms. Chantilly Scathe whispers something in her ear, her hand also rests on pickmen's shoulder where it leaves a bloodstain.

For the lovely Roseth0rns on tumblr, I made some Blue Jay/Benjamin gender exploration set during Spring! #secretsamol #secretsamol2025 #friendsatthetable

a digital drawing of a comic featuring Blue Jay and Benjamin from seasons of Hieron. in the first panel, Ben is looking frustrated and is saying "stop moving around you're messing me up!" Blue Jay (who is off panel) responds "Are you even doing this right?" and Ben responds "of course! you can do mine after or whatever!". the second panel is a zoom-out showing that Ben is doing blue jay's makeup, sitting close with a gentle hand on one side of their face. In the panel after blue jay looks down at Ben's lips and starts blushing. the bottom panel shows Blue Jay jerking their head back and shouting "c'mon man!" at the same time Ben says "hey!"

a continuation of the digitally drawn comic. the first panel is set sometime later and shows Blue Jay and Benjamin after their makeup is finished. Blue Jay is wearing a short sleeved maxi dress and looks a bit skeptically down at themselves. Ben is sitting next to them with his hands clasped in his lap and asks "so, how do you feel about it." in the next panel Blue Jay responds and says "Well I totally don't look like my day right now." a break in the speech bubble to show a pause "but it's weird, I don't feel like it's me either." the next panel is Ben looking pensive and exhaling. a panel later he says "Pants?!" a though suggesting this could be the answer to gender dysphoria. the bottom panel is the top half of Blue Jay and Ben's heads as they look conspiratorial. Blue Jay says "you know what, yeah. Maybe a more practical skirt. I think the fanciness is what's got me." Ben responds "good! because I am not doing your makeup every day!"

a digital drawing of Blue Jay and Benjamin as adults in their early twenties. Blue Jay has wild hair and has grown small tusks on their lower jaw. they're about a head taller than Benjamin and are standing behind him with their middle and ring finger curled inward on their left hand. they're wearing a loose cropped tank top and baggy shorts that have embroidery motifs on them. Benjamin is standing in front of his partner and is posing with one hand high

belatedly posting my #secretsamol gift for plumdimensions who requested "something sapphic about sunder havelton getting lost in the laminas" which ofc I could not resist. had fun imagining her encountering one of severea's forgotten offspring while looking for samol & having a fae-like interaction

goldfinch & waxwing figure skating au from a few secsams ago #friendsatthetable #bluffcity

it's easy, nowadays, for people to say they always knew she was going to be a star. and hey, maybe they did. all I know is that none of them were there that night in the rink when I first laid eyes on her. I wasn't sure what she was going to be. but whatever it was, I wanted in on it too.

you might think you have a good idea of what it was like. from the footage, the competitions, the interviews. but being there by her side, head to head, blade to ice. the fear, the awe, the anticipation. god, the sheer joy of it. that's something that just doesn't translate to primetime tv.

you asked me if I'm bitter I never got to win gold against her. and I'll ask you. how could I be? of all that I have to be bitter about, I can never resent her for that. you were right about one thing. she is a star. I'm just lucky I got to stand in her light for a little while.

cut to waxwing much older. she is chanti's coach now. chanti. coach? waxwing. yeah, I'm coming. waxwing sighs deeply. then she says. okay, one more time. from the top.
