It didn't work itself out. I ended having to go to urgent care anyway and ended up on meds, got a fever, got a vicious chill that locked my jaw taught. I've been out of it for almost two weeks now. Starting to get a little appetite back though.

Whew, thought I'd have to go to the ER this morning, but everything worked itself out.

I love www.facebook.com/alexaelartwo.... Her style is amazing. I'm hoping I can get her interested in #Vladimir and some #Lotherria stuff. Maybe even The Revenants of #Embri. I'd love to see her do art of my characters. Honestly, I'd love to see her do a tarot of Vladimir characters eventually.

@maggycraven.bsky.social suggested that, when I finally publish #Opaline, I should release them additionally in hardcover. One the one hand, I like the idea, though on the other, I know that will be awfully expensive for readers, especially since it comes in multiple parts.

I know I should probably eat something but I'm too tired to eat. The weather has been doing a number on me, and my meds are just making me even more tired since I'm already tired. Then again, I did stay up ALL night and until, like, noon reading #Opaline

There is a scene much, much later in the #Vladimir series where Lucifer does a beautiful song and dance. The inspiration for this scene is also from an E Nomine piece called "Mondengel"

Ravyn Karasu @ravynkarasu.bsky.social · 21/02/2026
In #Vladimir, Lucifer looks and sounds the way he does because, at the time, I thought it was one of the sexiest designs I could give him. E Nomine definitely inspired his voice and his German accent. The best song examples for him are "Der Herr der Finsternis" and "Wolfen/Das Tier in Mir"

#Vladimir, despite having inspiration from Vlad the Impaler and characters like Alucard from Hellsing, is not a vampire. He's a seraph, as he will remind anyone who forgets. It is said seraphs are also flaming snakes, which is how he got his serpent-like form for battle.

I know Hope's name is cheesy, but I chose it based on Greek Mythology. I likened the story a bit to Pandora's Box, with the demons being the evils of man. The only thing kept in the box was hope. So, that's here Hope gets her name. #Vladimir

Ravyn Karasu @ravynkarasu.bsky.social · 21/02/2026
I do find the Hell characters interesting in #Vladimir. I want to have enough scenes of them to please fans, as they all have their quirks. But I also have to be careful not to get too sidetracked with them, since their stories aren't always cohesive with Hope's story

Ravyn Karasu @ravynkarasu.bsky.social · 21/02/2026
I've been tempted to have Andrealphus appear in #Vladimir, but as of this time, I don't have a real reason to do so. There are other members of the Ars Goetia that turn up though. Stolas, obviously, but also Furfur (Furcifer) appears. Belial also is a prince of Hell, and Beelzebub counts as Goetia.
000
Ravyn Karasu @ravynkarasu.bsky.social · 21/02/2026
Another favorite devil in #Vladimir of mine is Leviathan. He has a bit of a tragic backstory, and I'm a little sad I can't give him the full focus he deserves when that story is due to be told. I also like Beelzebub, as he's powerful yet also a sad figure in that his ring has changed his appearance
000
Ravyn Karasu @ravynkarasu.bsky.social · 21/02/2026
In #Vladimir, one of my favorite devils has become Mammon. I like his design in my head, and despite his greed, he is portrayed as a loving husband, a helpful prince to Lucifer, and in a story in the near future shows he has a soft spot for Hope, as she reminds him of his own wife.

Ravyn Karasu @ravynkarasu.bsky.social · 21/02/2026
It should be said that the 7 princes of Hell in #Vladimir are not entirely accurate. I took some creative liberties. Like, I replaced one of the princes with Mephistopheles...just cuz I've always found Mephisto to be a very interesting devil.

Ravyn Karasu @ravynkarasu.bsky.social · 21/02/2026
I want to clarify that Stolas, in #Vladimir, is not getting a re-design. He's always looked the same in canon. The only change in story is that now I can actually refer to the sooty owl. The re-design is for the cover only, as he was portrayed inaccurately (my fault).
000
Ravyn Karasu @ravynkarasu.bsky.social · 21/02/2026
I don't remember if I've shared this before, but Stolas, in #Vladimir, is a mishmash of a common barn owl, a sooty owl, a snowy owl, and a great horned owl. I wanted the blue-gray color, but I also wanted to make him distinguishable from @vivziepop.bsky.social's Stolas.

Granted, #Vladimir has kinda had a spot on the backburner since book 3's publication. Trying to get back into the mood for it. Also, Stolas (on book 3's cover) will be getting a re-design eventually. So, they'll be a semi-new cover. I also have a design plan for book 4's cover. #writing #authors

I'm excited! @maggycraven.bsky.social is doing some fanart for my #Vladimir series. A nice pic of Lucifer. I had mentioned wanting someone to do art like it, since it's a familiar pose, but there isn't as much activity in the fandom as I'd like.

Ravyn Karasu @ravynkarasu.bsky.social · 21/02/2026
I do want to apologize for not updating the #Lotherria stuff for a while. I've been back and forth with it. But I've been having trouble finding a project to really focus on. Hoping I can PICK something already and just be able to work. #writing #authors #indieauthors #BookSky

To jump off my last post, I just thought it would be interesting and funny to share our shenanigans to entertain people.

Ravyn Karasu @ravynkarasu.bsky.social · 21/02/2026
It's still going to take a long time to get it set up, but I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in listening to a #podcast of my friends and I doing a Pokemon #RPG ( #PTU). I guess it's kinda like Critical Role, only with #Pokemon.

I wonder if I should get some apple juice next month. Maybe some more juice in my diet will make me want to drink more. I mean, I still have water, but sometimes, I just need some juice. I love orange juice, but apple juice is pretty satisfying too.
000
Ravyn Karasu @ravynkarasu.bsky.social · 21/02/2026
Orange juice is so good. I've not had juice in a while, and technically the juice was for Sissy, but I REALLY wanted a cup. It's making my kidneys happy. I really need a major fluid intake. I'm apparently VERY dehydrated but I'm not as thirsty as I should be.

My schedule is all backwards again. Learned I can transfer Word docs to Google docs. So, I've been looking over some projects. Been refamiliarizing myself with #Vladimir and #Opaline #Writing #Authors #BookSky

Slept all day. But my pain is under control at least. Now it's back to work on my little #Pokemon project

Ravyn Karasu @ravynkarasu.bsky.social · 10/02/2026
So my writing has been crazy. I've started and worked on soooooo many projects that I just don't know what to do. So, I'm taking a wee break to work on a #Pokemon RPG. I'm almost half done with the final first phase of the dex

I was up all night last night and early this morning because I was in so much pain. Now that I have a full belly, my meds should be able to kick in shortly

My lazy butt actually cooked myself breakfast this morning. Scrambled eggs with cheese and two pieces of pork roll. Belly is full.

I went to the #dentist to get a filling today. Eye tooth. He numbed it and my friggin eyeball went numb. I've never felt that sensation before! He goes "That's why it's called an eye tooth." I almost lost my meds cuz my face is still numb. I'm STARVING! Wish me luck.

My sister used to torture me with the same rap songs over and over again, and I'm not a big rap fan. I was kinda glad to get a break. Here I am over two years later, and now I wish I could remember what the hell they were for a story playist!

Wanted to wear my new #HeatedRivalry shirt yesterday, but when I decided to have raviolis for lunch, I decided I wasn't going to risk it and changed. Thank goodness cuz I have a massive bloody nose and the blood is getting EVERYWHERE! Hope it stops soon. I'll get dizzy soon if it keeps going.

So i was toying with some story ideas in one of my series. I wanted to try a sports romance for one of them. But I do t know if I want the athlete to be a baseball player or a hockey player. #writing #authors #indieauthors

Don't know how she did it, but the house hippo managed to get under every pillow on my bed, shove her butt under my head (knocking over a pillow in the process), lay on a body pillow and wrap herself in it. She was totally buried when I woke up this morning. #Pets #PetsofBlueSky

Got to hang out with a friend's 4-year-old this morning. Her favourite toy is "A ball of fluff from her friend's dog". In case you needed Xmas present ideas for a toddler in your life.

Ew my room smells like sick person. In another day or two I should hopefully be well enough to clean everything and wash the bedding.

A pet sleeping next to you feeling so safe and comfy is genuinely the most any human can really ask for It makes you feel like maybe you aren’t so bad. You might even be good

I need some friends to harass kn here. Who's up for talking about #books, #HazbinHotel, #Welcometoderry, #HeatedRivalry, and all kinds of nostalgia and #animals? I always end up wanting to talk too much on this app but I need more people to talk to.

I can't believe im actually hungry for more than pudding. I've been eating puddings primarily for breakfast and lunch. Then eat an actual small meal in the evening. Sis says breakfast for dinner tonight and im all for that.
