A quarter of a century. How time flies. I love you. ❤️

Back from Empire. Had such a hectic, glorious time that I barely took any photos, so here: have a lovely sheep. Lots of love to everyone who made it so awesome - I miss y'all already. ❤️

HAPPY 'WHACK THE VAMPIRE IN THE FACE WITH A SHOVEL' DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE. IT'S ME, I CELEBRATE. #DraculaDaily

... the world of such a monster. There was no lethal weapon at hand, but I seized a shovel which the workmen had been using to fill the cases, and lifting it high, struck, with the edge downward, at the hateful face. But as I did so the head turned, and the eyes fell full upon me, with all their blaze of basilisk horror. The

Happy 10th Birthday, @rustyquill.com (you beautiful bunch of gremlins, you). 🥳 Thank you for opening the door for me nearly two years ago. Here's to many more! ❤️

Ever jokingly said "I might try this" to your friends and had them respond by genuinely encouraging you to actually do it? Yeah, about that. 🥰

Behold: the absolutely unhinged, unfiltered energy of a woman who has just completed a marathon 12-hour recording day *and* wrapped on 'Dracula: 2004'. Lucy, you are glorious. I'm so thankful I got to play you. And now, garlic or no garlic, I hope we may sleep well. X @starstriderpods.bsky.social

A Girl Walks Into An Old Boys’ Club

A girl walks into an old boys’ club
A shadow rides at her shoulder
She wishes she wasn’t so naive
She wishes she looked older

She wishes that she could be loved
She wishes she was “clever”
She wants to raise a fireman’s axe
She wants to live forever.

She sits and takes the cards she’s dealt
She softly sips the water
She fears that they will all assume
That she’s the dealer’s daughter

The darkness stretches limb to limb
It wraps around her collar
It whispers like fresh mist on snow
It treats her as a scholar

It tells her that the debt is paid
That all the signs are broken
That she can now be unafraid
That something has awoken

A woman leans back in her chair
Her eyes are gently glowing
Nobody can quite tell when
That shadow started growing

And as she lets the devil out
That she kept confidential
And sits, and smiles (that wicked smile!)
It’s almost Providential.

Snippet from something I've been working on. Just going to leave it here.

$Do you really think, when it comes to art, that there is any true substitute for the human soul? The soul, which can fracture, and sprain, and scar, and be sold for pennies, and be valued above sapphires; which can extract, pummel, distill its own essence into oil, or ink, or wax, or pixels, and yet remain whole? Do you really think there is any synthetic substitute for the ache, or the ecstasy, or the ice, or the flame, or the cool dark silence, or the dew-drop softness with which you may approach this world and all its trials? Do you really think your metamorphosis from bone to pastel is worth so little? Michelangelo may have loathed the idea of painting the Sistine Chapel, but at least the man felt something. The art is in that something. (Anusia Battersby)$

Brief throwback to the Season Two première with this wonderful bunch of excellent humans ❤️. S2 is now streaming (and screaming?) wherever you catch your pods! 👁 (Thank you to Jess for sending this one over!) @rustyquill.com #TheMagnusProtocol

After much frustration and many dice rolled, I finally have the first draft of a one-shot, a wider campaign, and a system to run it all. Thank. The. Lord. (I also got to use my new dice and little foldable mat for the first time, so that's been nice.)

A soft blue dice tray with an image of a dark orange dragon, smiling and hoarding many, many dice. Three dice of my own rest in the tray - a purple and silver metal D6 showing a 4, a green-blue D6 showing a 5, and a rose quartz D6 showing a 6.

And we are LIVE! Well. Sort of. 👻 I wrote and performed my one-woman show, 'Unscrypted', nearly a year and a half ago, and the opportunity to finally showcase it digitally is an absolute dream. To everyone who helped make the whole thing happen - thank you. You are gems. ❤️ (1/3)

Well, it's been quite a year 😅 wishing everyone a peaceful, joyful, and ✨️magical✨️ 2024! x

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art - write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."
