I made a comic about the quiet yearning of wanting to do art again for #makeaterriblecomicday2026 I haven't really done art for fun in a long while and every day I want to get back into it. So who knows, maybe this will help.

Panel 1: Me lamenting "God I miss art and drawing"
Panel 2: With head against desk a caption says "Burnout. Too busy. Overwhelmed. Perfectionist."
Panel 3: Charlie brown ugh pose with the caption "Quietest Ugh"
Panel 4: Me picking up a pen. This one, if you will. "If you want smth great you have to start w/ smth terrible"
Panel 5: Hand holding pen over paper. "Alright. Fine. Let's figure it out. No more blank pages."

"Why do you like Godzilla so much?" Well, you see. He's a very creature. And also he's a big monster.

Godzilla meme I found that I think is the Knights at the round table or whatever but it's the knights labeled MC, Hero, Anti Hero, Antagonist, Protagonist, Anti Villain, and Villain and in the center it's Godzilla.
Because he's all those things all at once in the movies and it's great.

Currently rebuilding a new, curated book of spells while I learn from an old one (all of my mom's CDs until she decides to take them back lol)

My CD binder that's slowly but surely filling up. With the option to be picky about full albums I buy I get to be very selective compared to a time where it was buy em all to listen to them all. It's fun though and I can go on a full essay tangent on why physical media is good and healthy and needed to be kept alive

The cover ➡️ The first page Being the villain really does get tiresome. Shame when it's all you were made for. Cover at by: @zabwis.bsky.social Available now: www.wildstarpress.com/product-page... Published by: @wildstarpress.bsky.social

Chapter 1
With the guise of man, the God of Chaos trudged his way up to the peaks of Mount Gya, rock by rock. It grew colder the higher he climbed, but the wind was forgiving enough to only send gentle caresses along his bare arms and leave goosebumps in their wake. The lack of light and gear made this climb dangerous for anyone who dared to try, but Z wasn’t just anyone. The sun continued to lower, and under a calm focus, his right eye and the star mark speckled with constellations going down his neck and to the exposed part of his shoulder, glowed a bright blue. He climbed as if it was the easiest thing in the world, and to him, it was.

Still, frustration ebbed in his veins as the hum of his power radiated outward. The natural reaction of chaos to make things easier just meant that things would sooner be destroyed. While he could afford to topple a mountain, he couldn’t afford to destroy the lives that were on top of it. The temptation ebbed and flowed under his palms with every pull but it never pressed more than gentle tremors and fallen stones.
The closer he reached the summit, the more regret felt like a weight on his shoulders. His tolerance for humanity was low and the idea of voluntarily seeking them out pressed on a nerve he tried to keep at bay. Their lives mattered much more than his and yet he was at his wits end with every new generation that cropped up. After living for so long unable to suppress a temper unbecoming of god, the more the idea that he had finally chosen to seek a more mortal help grated on him.

The uneven rocks began to smooth into a flat, uniformed surface. In a final time far too quick for any human to make the journey, Z reached one of the lower peaks of the mountain. He hoisted himself up until he was on a mosaic stone surface. His hands flexed and relaxed over the muted spiraling orange tiles, admiring their different, carefully etched patterns. The designs curved into two pathways.

Supporting indie pubs one book at a time and this time it's @dauntlessstories.bsky.social Tell Them of Us! With multiple stories, it's an exploration of who humanity is and was through the lense of aliens discovering them after their destruction. It's pretty good!

MUTUAL AID REQUEST❗️ Goal: Helping my mom get on her feet after a rough move and car troubles. This goal isn't going to cover majority of the costs, but I'd like to at least help her keep her head above water and give her some hope. Anything helps, shares are appreciated! ko-fi.com/blubat/goal?...

My orange cat, Harley, on my lap dozing off. The picture is really just for people to stop and read the post.

And if you're still reading, any help is greatly appreciated. My mom is a very proud and independent black woman who doesn't like to ask for help (that mentality of making it thru the mud by yourself, you know?) so I am coming to the people, the public, to ask for her. She needs about $5k to really get back on her feet but this $850 goal is at least to give her some hope to move forward. Thank you for your help!

My book It Ends With Z just published with @wildstarpress.bsky.social ! It's about a God of Chaos learning inner peace from a monk that's just happy to get out the house and stretch his legs. #WriterShareWednesday

Forced to be the villain of the world’s story, the God of Chaos, Z, decides to seek out some form of peace from it all. Unfortunately no matter how long he hides, he’s always found, he’s always lashed out at. He even tries to hide from his sister, the Goddess of Order, only to be tormented by her misplaced jealousy time and time again. When he finally decides to face his troubles head on, he expects a lot of things, all bad, however the last thing he expects is to be taken ‘under the wing’ of a nomadic monk traveling around the world to learn what peace really meant.

He expected a lot of things, all of it bad, but what he didn’t expect was a nomadic monk to take him ‘under his wing’ and teach him what peace really meant.

New one for the work board.

Little white board that says:

Have you seen the state of America? Reading & comprehension is more important than ever. Read a book. It's good for you. (Comics included!)
