My legs shook as I walked toward Mama’s grave. Marcus, my first, stalked behind me, unhappy with my insistence on coming here. I didn’t blame him. It was a predictable move, for me. And after this I promised that I would listen to his advice and not put myself at more risk if I could help it. But…
I reached the grave and collapsed to my knees in front of the stone.
“Mama…”
Mama couldn’t answer, of course. Couldn’t hold me the way I desperately needed her to. But Lună’s light caressed my shoulders and I felt her compassion and love for me. Her reassurance.
“Thank you,” I whispered, “I don’t think we’d have survived without your help.”
Only a few hours ago I had been living a relatively normal – for me – life. I had a home, I was starting to fix the mess I had made of things with my sotii, and had hopes of soon finding Clan Lună and reuniting with them.
Now I had no home, was on the run from enemies who attacked me for things that happened when I was still a child, and needed to figure out what to do with the two strangers claiming to be clan who’d shown up on my doorstep right before my enemies.
“I don’t know when I’ll be able to come back…”

I was thinking how kooky the Compact Disc logo is if you really look at it closely, so I’m making an entire typeface inspired by it. As you do…

Is there any greater sign of commitment to actually doing your #FinishOrFrogAlong goals than taking the time to rewind the yarn?
Probably putting some stitches in, yeah. But this yarn was a loose tangled mess so I'm feeling better about it now at least 😅
Look, we can't have a monsterfucking zine without me somehow sneaking a catgirl in

In early for #WIPWednesday...a couple of hours on a new mask!
It's the first theater mask I've started since moving to #ThisOldClownHouse, and I'm excited to see how it turns out.

At first, the caring-one, hurting-one, said nothing, but Kolchais knew how to wait – as did the guarding-one, watching as if the answer to Kolchais' question would reveal long-hunted danger.
Finally, Paiokp whispered, "I can't believe this is real. That this will last. I can only live each day as it comes and hope this won't be the day it is all torn from me again." Abruptly, ey stood up and went in the shelter, leaving Lefeng and Kolchais to speak without em.
"I know how ey feels," Lefeng said. "It was easier before we met you and Chotaikytsai. I could focus each day on what needed to be done and just forget… everything outside of that moment."
"I lived that way too when my family rejected me. But we can't stand still forever. If we do, we become dead things."
"Yes."
