I found a new local card shop that doesn't upcharge any of their singles (they sell at TCGPlayer market value) so I got myself a few more. Some are for deck building and some are just for funsies. Little early birthday treat.

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. ⬇️

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 Games: the 9 games that shaped who I am.

Pokemon Platinum, The Legend of Dragoon, Final Fantasy XIV, Finaly Fantasy XI, World of Warcraft, Coral Island, Guilty Gear: Strive, Stardew Valley, WildStar.

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.

Was thinking about Lázaro because his government assigned Ghost song came up on my playlist (it's Guiding Lights btw) so have some Láz art. These are some of the first pieces of PTS art ever! Sketched by @beeohoney.bsky.social and colored by me.
A colored sketch of Lázaro from Pierce the Sky. He's smiling and flashing a peace sign at the viewer. Art by @beeohoney. A colored sketch of Suzuka and Lázaro from Pierce the Sky. Láz has his elbow resting on Suzuka's head, which annoys Suzuka a lot. Art by @beeohoney.

Sell your book in five words: Befriend weapons, save the world.
The cover of Pierce the Sky by Linn Foster. It features five of the characters. In front, from left to right they are: Aaz-min, Lázaro, Suzuka, and Tsuki. Aaz-min is a tall alien with purple and green skin, white hair, long gears, and four arms. She also has four red eyes. She’s smiling as she looks off the side. Lázaro is a dark-skinned Hispanic man with long, fluffy black hair. He’s wearing a white crop top and multiple pieces of gold jewelry, and a blue jacket. Suzuka is the shortest of the group and is walking ahead of the other two with Tsuki. They have black and pink hair and a small gap between their teeth, which is visible because they’re smiling at Tsuki. They’re wearing a yellow crop top and half-buttoned blue cardigan. Tsuki is beside them, smiling too. He has long dual-toned black and purple hair tied in a ponytail. He’s dressed in a black turtleneck and purplish-gray jacket. Behind them all is Yo, wearing his red, black, and white Celestial Suit and flying through the sky. He has a gun in each hand.

PIERCE THE SKY

Befriend your weapon, save the world.

Suzuka Shibuya-Preece is a young maverick freshly accepted into the elite of the world’s premier defense organization, the Heavenly Forces. Created by mankind and their alien allies to prepare Earth for the eventual invasion of a hivemind bent on universal conquest, the goal of every soldier is to become the wielder of one of the vaunted Celestial Weapons. The catch? Each one is sentient, and it’s not enough to want them.

They have to choose you too.

[walks in late to share a snippet for #WIPSnips.] I feel like I've been posting parts of this conversation a lot lately, haha. But it's one of the most intriguing parts of chapter one!
Bell fished out her phone to flip through her contacts. If she wanted to talk, it’d have to be with him.

“Oh no,” the voice on the other end said after picking up almost immediately. “Why are you calling me? Aren’t you supposed to be out with your girlfriend?”

He spoke in Banmal, and Bell returned the familiarity in kind as she said, “I think you already know.”

“You eat her memories?” the man asked.

“Of course I did.” Bell brought the drink to her lips again and swallowed the urge to sigh. “I had to.”

“You could’ve just eaten *her.*”

“Key!” Bell hissed, scanning the bar for curious eyes. Unnecessarily, perhaps. Of course no one was paying attention to them. “You *know* I don’t do that.”

“Come on,” Key drawled. “It’s been what? Thirty years? Surely you’re feeling—“

“We’re not talking about this, Hyeon-ju.” Bell’s voice was firm. “I didn’t call you to talk about this.”

Key’s resignation came through like static. “Right, sorry. Do you want me to come pick you up? We can go to the Smiling Shojo.”

“No,” Bell mumbled. “I don’t want to run into Reg. Besides, I’m already at the Sinking Ship.”

I wrote a post-apocalypse fantasy that was described as "so, so rich" in its world & "so, so thoughtfully done." Though, my personal favorite piece of praise was, "Each character carries the weight of a fully-lived life." (Characters are my favorite thing to write.) linnfoster.com/iron-spirit/

Art is one of my favorite things in the world and it makes my entire day when someone blesses me with it. I would truly consider it an honor to be given art of my OCs. (And, with permission, would add it to my online galleries for all to admire.)
"May I please draw your OC?"
Reshare this post if you encourage anyone who wants to draw your OC to do so. There is no need to ask for permission in advance. 
Go for it. Draw my OC. If you want, I'll even give you reference posts. Go to town on it. 
You are welcome to draw my OC and surprise me with the result. Seriously. In fact, I encourage it. I will proudly display whatever it is you submit to me regarding my OC. There is a chance that I qill sequel about it for several days. 
Even if you feel you aren't good at whatever artistic adventure it is you do, please feel free to submit it to me. I want to see what you have done.

I love this whole conversation between Key and Tae, but it's too long to snip for this question, so you just get this little bit haha.
Another thought occurred to Tae then. He glanced down at his guitar, then back at Key, swallowing a lump forming in his throat. "Have you... killed anyone?"

Key smirked, a sharp expression that darkened his eyes. He offered no answer, only strummed his guitar some more. That in itself was answer enough.

#FaveLineFriday : Key finally loses his cool. Bonus Q: Bell would romance Elliot becsuse he's a writer. Key would romance Abigail because she reminds him of Bell. Tae would romance Sebastian or Haley because they're cute. It's a fun little farm sim, it doesn't need that much thought put into it.
Bell sighed so hard their shoulders sagged. "Your jealousy is getting the better of you again."

Key bristled at that and his frown deepened, but he continued to avoid eye contact. "I'm not jealous."

"You are," Bell countered. "You always are. Why can't you just be happy for me? You know, like a best friend should be?"

"Because I love you, A-yeong!" Key shouted, jerking up and slamming his fists on the table, making Bell startle. "Do you know how hard it is to watch you love everyone but me?"

Not any updated ones, sadly. The best I have right now is Láz's 2024 reference. While being very expensive, it's very utilitarian in design so not much in the way of fancy details. Though it does have rainbow sparkles due to the crystal dust.

Last week someone asked me why Tae didn't have a sticker when Bell and Key did, and that made me think, "Huh, why DOESN'T Tae have a sticker?" So I remedied that! Now all BYMMS physical orders will come with all three of them! Thank you @beeohoney.bsky.social for another great piece of art. 💜

For today's #WIPSnips we get to meet one of Key's most prized possessions: Girlfriend the 2009 Dodge Challenger.
While his opinion of humans wasn't the best, he had to admit there were a few things they'd created that he did love, one of those being cars— especially his own. He had six to his name, all spanning his life in America. Four of them had been retired long ago and were reserved for shows and events, living in the garage he’d had built on his parents’ land. The third, a red 2009 Dodge Challenger, was his everyday vehicle, his go-to when he didn’t need the Ford Super Duty for a job or errand. Like all his cars, he'd bought it when they were brand new and took impeccable care of it. A-yeong liked to call it his girlfriend, so he'd gotten custom plates for it that said GRLFRND just to be funny. That joke sealed its fate, and Girlfriend became its name. Even he started calling it that.

Hyeon-ju paid extra in rent every month for a covered parking space for Girlfriend to better shield it from the elements, and that's where it was now. Slipping into the driver's seat, he started the engine. Sure, he probably could've walked, but it was more fun to drive in the city. Well, anywhere really. Besides, he found that if he brought Girlfriend with him, A-yeong tended to ask for rides. She liked to ride in cars, but tended to favor bikes and motorcycles when it came to driving herself. Maybe the Kia Soul, once he had it fixed up, would sway her. It felt like the kind of car she would like.

My newest character is Key in BYMMS. He was the last of the main cast to be created and hadn't originally been planned, but worked out well. He's about a year old now so I feel like he's pretty established. I've grown rather attached to him haha. Can't imagine BYMMS without him. #AwesomeCharacters
