Rosalie (she/her) @theloveofwords.bsky.social · 08/07/2026The storm of unbridled new things coming from brain to my hand has not yet lessened. This unfinished scene is ‘surprise love’. The big dragon, when you really look, is just a little chap who likes to collect creatures. They thought they were the only one. And yet, no. They’re not alone. 🩵 130

Rosalie (she/her) @theloveofwords.bsky.social · 07/06/2026You know you've had a good afternoon when your sketch is, while a wonky splatter of hot mess, also a total experimentation success. I dubbed it "Skunk Rocker at the Midnight Feather Disco 'n' Disarray". I'm eventually going to use some of my sketches as chapter breaks, but this one's for me.🦨🖤 150
Rosalie (she/her) @theloveofwords.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Had the sort of small break staying with old friends that left me feeling deeply loved and valued, and in a way that I couldn’t squirm out from the truth of it. So if you’re the sort of person to struggle with that feeling, here’s to you: you are valued and loved. You just are. Live with it. 🩵 140
Reposted by Rosalie (she/her)The Trandalorian @charliejaneanders.com · 31/01/2026Many old phrases and sayings are confusing for people today. For example, you'll often hear people say, "Under the Circus Dances." As in, "Under the Circus Dances, I think you did the right thing." Or: "Everyone has to do their best Under the Circus Dances." Allow me to explain. 510216
Rosalie (she/her) @theloveofwords.bsky.social · 23/01/2026I've been sketching since just before the new year. This pic isn't finished. It's just the early swirls that graphite blocks allow me. It's giving my log-jammed brain somewhere to put the curliest, weirdest ideas and beasties. Now when I sit to write, there's a way for words to get out. Bliss. 040

Rosalie (she/her) @theloveofwords.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Every time I try and make a zine I spend most of my time trying to figure out how to fold and cut it, and where the sketches go, and where the story or message goes. Always good when you get to the message bit though, hey. 151
Rosalie (she/her) @theloveofwords.bsky.social · 06/09/2025I need to make a zine. Maybe half a dozen. I don’t care what goes in it (yes I do) but maybe like a bunch of tiny ones with micro-fictions. And leave them who knows where. Maybe single line stories. ‘Her boot was a silent friend, keeping her toes warm and her body ready for action.’ 130

Rosalie (she/her) @theloveofwords.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Sometimes I go to post something and all I can think is [INCOHERENT RAGE AT NEONAZIS] and so sometimes I instead gaze at the sky. Just for a while. Before I return to the screaming. 020
Rosalie (she/her) @theloveofwords.bsky.social · 06/09/2025If I just start opening my mouth wide will all of these unwritten words finally pour out of my brain and coalesce into something I can use? Or will I instead make giant behemoth sounds until my lower jaw disconnects and drifts slowly to the bottom of the deepest ocean? Who can say. Who can say. 010

Her beloved kindly redirects her to the right album. Listens. Ends up down an weird rabbit hole where she reads the life story of assassin Charlotte Corday. 110

Rosalie (she/her) @theloveofwords.bsky.social · 15/06/2025I've been quiet here lately, but life is ... ya know. But lots of beautiful children's picture book stories are forming. I think writing 'em has caused some older stories to idle but many, many new ones to form. I sometimes think I should wear a bucket on my head. To stop ideas from flying in. 020
