Their hands are loosely clasped together. Behind them is the beach and a large full moon, all done in shades of purple and blue. (Art by @cryling.)

Don't get me wrong, I love the scenes of Bell and Tae together very much, but the chapter where Tae and Key run into each other at a party is definitely my favorite. It's complicated and messy and delicious. I'm excited for people to read it!

Out of curiosity.... anyone following me play TCGs? 👀 Any at all. Tell me about them. I LOVE TCGs. I usually play Magic because it's so popular in my area, but I'm getting tired of Magic tbh. I need a break. I'm thinking of getting back into Pokemon. I'm curious to hear about others, too, though.

Today we're cracking open the BYMMS vault to bring you a new piece of art! It's Bell and Key during the 1950s, when they were working jazz clubs in Portland. This art was done by @firesnsfw.bsky.social. You can read a few snapshots of their lives on Patreon for free right now. ⬇️

A monochrome illustration of Key and Bell from Between You, Me, and the Moonlit Sea, as they looked in the 1950s. Key has short, somewhat wavy hair and is wearing a suit, while Bell is presenting femme and sporting a bob haircut, wearing a dress. Art by @firesnsfw.

This idea has rapidly started ping-ponging around in my head and I think I already have a premise and a bunch of base lore to work with, even though it'll be a few years before I can consider writing it.

I think I did the game one before but it was a while ago. Notice a theme? These aren't in any order but let it be known that FFXI is the most important game of my life. FFXI and WoW were my reason for living from 2004 to about 2012. Legitimately, without those games I would not be here today.

My 9 anime. Some faves, some that left a mark on me. Special shout out to Sailor Moon, Speed Racer, G Gundam, Evangelion, & Blue Submarine No. 6, who were all really influential or special to me but just got edged out by something else. Also is it cheating to put movies? What a mix, though, haha.

My 9 Animes: the 9 anime that shaped who I am.

I didn't realize how badly I was burned out until it occurred to me that I didn't listen to any music the last 2 weeks. That's always a sign I'm not doing well. But I wanted to listen to music today, so I think I am finally doing better. I hope this means I'll be able to write today.

Pokemon. I LOVE Pokemon. To this day it remains one of my special interests, and is such an important series to me. If I could provide a 2nd answer though? The Legend of Dragoon. It was the first multi-disc game I ever finished and I beat it 10 times. It helped shape me as a storyteller too.
