iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Bleh. What a couple weeks its been. Lets get an update: Myth & Metal -- Probably done. My editor has it, but hasn't had much to say. I'll be tapping them on the shoulder soon about it. We got approval to submit some cover art alongside the work but I haven't commissioned it yet.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

I saw @roscoegbeetle.bsky.social post his #my9animes so I thought I'd do the same... 2010s era obscure netflix anime hit for me like NO OTHER. Last Exile is one of the few anime I own physically. Im actually planning a novel project heavily inspired by the work! It was so hard to choose honestly.

And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful the earth is, is to see it as the moon. The way to see how beautiful life is, is from the vantage point of death.

The game is called Fate. A game about self-determination, cooperation, duty, and the willingness to stand up in the face of tyranny. And there is absolutely no way its propaganda. At all.

Okay wait, here's a great one: What was YOUR introduction to the fandom proper? Robin Hood was a big one, and Star Fox Adventures hit a young me like a TRUCK. But it wasnt until My Little Pony came and ran its course that I joined the fandom for real. Fun fact: Misto is the name of my old pony OC!

The Volnic Empire inherited a strange sort of behavior from the Auriat Republic they overthrew to become the eminent power in the galaxy: a robust and fruitful superweapons program. In a way, the terrifying Auriat Titan is like an ancestor to The Wind Runner. I wonder which would win.. -Mistø

Got a little invite to submit to an upcoming #furrymecha anthology... Decided that Kal and SYL have been overdue for some spotlight so, sat down and finished the outline for Myth & Metal--then dropped 1800 words on a first draft. #furrylit #amwtiting

I have been told that the number one thing a writer can do to improve their craft is to live life. My life has shown me that togetherness and community is the greatest thing there is. It's the real act of resistance. It's the way you fight the dark. I can't wait to write that story someday.

Do I love or hate furries headlining at WorldCon? I was so afraid to write in the fandom because I was worried a publisher would be like 'I don't wanna be associated with that.' But also, the fandom has been so good to me, I want to give back to it, and this feels like legitimacy... Super weird.

Mistø @mistowrites.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Design notes for Kal were basically: Constantly grumpy. Killdozer guy meets Megas XLR. Heart in the right place but the worst methods. SYL on the other hand is more interesting. What if an AI grew into its own person? What if it learned from its programming and former pilots? Who would it be?

The Empress is a character I went back and forth a LOT on as the political context around us changed throughout the development of the story. I think we've reached a point now where she can be both victim and perpetrator. And I like that so much more than simply defining her one way. #Foxxoverse

We conceived of the Dominion as a way to limit the amount of territory the Volnic Empire has control over. I didnt think it was feasible one society could control every world in an entire galaxy. Plus, I really like the idea that there are worlds that the Empire hasn't taken. Yet. #Furrylit

Hair under a thousand words on some cultural mythology that can be summed up as: "What if Sargon of Akkad was a bird, and also was also every other mythological hero at the same time and also they were an enby badass who was fight bros with the wind" #Foxxoverse #Furrylit #Worldbuilding

Oh shit sniper got him.. Anyway. The CLF are fighters, they're community builders, protectors of culture and people who might be vulnerable to Imperial subjugation. Liberating planets. Supplying rebels. Getting people what they need to survive. "Wherever you are, we'll be there too." #Furrylit

Its evident in everything from the star of the system being referred to as Godseye, the eye of Mother Psironis. The three moons of Inos being referred to as the Triune Sisters. Dawnspire named after an idyllic oasis described in many of the oldest hymns -Mistø #Foxxoverse #Furrylit #Worldbuilding

Mistø @mistowrites.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Not texts the way we might think of them. The Sunsingers, an ancient religion from Inos still practiced by some Imperial citizens today actually carries their mythological tradition in songs. Though the Empire has officially distanced themselves from the religion, its impact on culture is clear.

You must be asking yourself: "How can anything live on a radioactive world?" Error-correcting DNA baybee. The Inii's triumph over their environment is one of most foundational cultural events. To them, if they were worthy to conquer Inos, the stars are their reward. #Foxxoverse #Furrylit

This is one of the most interesting ways to leverage the non-human characteristics of an anthro character in my opinion. Having a trans character take on the dimorphic characteristics of their desired gender is really clever.
