a commission for @byleslierene, inspired by Hellelil and Hildebrand, the Meeting on the Turret Stairs. it was such a joy drawing these characters and representing this story that I can't wait to read myself.

hey all! figured i'd post here as well! I have two tix to The Duchess starring Jodie Whittaker tonight (Oct 11) at 7:30. I unfortunately found out it has some CW I can't handle, so wanted to see if anyone else wanted to buy the tix off me? They're £25 each and front row circle!

So excited to FINALLY reveal this beautiful character art of Jude & Maeve by the supremely talented @beforeviolets for my debut The Sacred Space Between out next year with @HarperVoyagerUK ✨ this was my little gift to myself when the book sold and I can't! Stop! Looking at it!

taking to the social medias to ask if anyone has any potential leads on housing in london? (if anyone needs a new roomie or someone to take over their lease?)


I hate to tell y'all this but im most active on tumblr these days


finished compound fracture by @AJWhiteAuthor (great book btw, incredible) and immediately made myself a pasta dinner and put on a youtube video essay about the barbie movies through a queer marxist lens... I think miles would be proud (AJ stop writing MCs that are just me)


emerging from the void to share this commission for @authorhobaxter of Mars, Arlo, and Rani from FALLEN THORNS! thank you so much Harv for commissioning me, and everyone else, go check out FALLEN THORNS! (a slow-paced, vampire coming-of-age campus duology with a ND aroace MC!)

this is definitely cuz authors don’t include excessive or tangential information that pull away from storytelling, which is a good thing. that being said… when I write my macbeth retelling… it’s over

Need to read books where the female lead menstruates... Cause apparently fictional women don't menstruate 🧍🏽‍♀️



threads was wholly unhelpful so asking here: for folks who’ve shipped books from the US to the UK or Europe in general, where has been cheapest for ya? i’m sending some of my editions to friends over there and would rather have them pay as little as possible.


always so grateful to dorian for commissioning me to draw such richly-written queer characters and stories. loved drawing these fucked up gays.

This post is unavailable.

I was not expecting bridgerton to really pull out the rainbow flags this pride month but I am NOT complaining


i’ve started watching mary & george and I need book recs with a similar vibe… anyone got any good slutty gay historical books with court scheming/politics to recommend?


it should be illegal for my mental health to be this rough during pride month


I love these boys

Sharing this gorgeous art @beforeviolets did of Kit and Billy from The Epping Pool because I'm having a lot of Emotions about these guys today ❤

seeing the uptick of AI art being used in book marketing is disheartening, but particularly so when I’m seeing an uptick of it in the indie sapphic space


going to watch a production of othello for the first time (!) anyone have any suggestions of pro-shots?
