I usually draw my characters myself as I have some facility with illustration. Though my hand problems make me veeery slow. I would like to add some 1661 characters before the end of this year. Planned order is Anne > Lucette > Percy. Poor Klein bumped back in the queue again 🀣 #AwesomeCharacters

Illustrators, if you get an email that sounds like this, it's a scam! Spend a little time in anti-scam groups and you'll see this same type constantly. Writers and fine artists get it all the time.

I think it would be VERY fun if my Renwick dressed up as @earlronove.bsky.social's Renwick!! My Ren would absolutely love dressing up as a fey lord, especially one with a gothic color palette! #AwesomeCharacters

Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Continuing Halloween prep! We have picked which of our own characters we want to dress as! But let's mix it up now! For either you, or your character: choose someone else's character for them to dress as! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

shout out to all the artists trying to pay the bills and grappling with that feeling of desperation and uncertainty while trying to maintain creative fluency and a hopeful outlook that maybe β€œtoday will be the day things get a tiny bit easier”

The #Castlevania games have always had a special place in my heart and, given the Halloween season, I decided it was time to commit to making merch! These are 3.5 double layered wood charms w/ sub-weapon/bloody tear accessories. Pre-orders are until November 4th (midnight EST). Store link below ⬇️

God I am so fucking angry Queer folks, tell your stories. Mainstream, independent, comics, zines, games, shorts, novels, film, whatever your medium whatever your genre There are increasingly fewer platforms for them, so it is more important than ever to make sure they get out into the world

Renwick is a bookworm and a hopeless romantic who would love to make more friends but is very shy Erevan loves adventure and excitement and is always seeking thrills as a way to escape his circumstances Styx is withdrawn, moody, and very religious, but has a hidden soft side

Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Today is National New Friends Day! Let's make some new friends amongst our characters! Give one sentence about your character! Then, reply to others saying who your character would befriend in their cast! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

TBH I don't usually like when vampires and werewolves can be turned back in stories, but the rabies parallels were too fun to ignore. Although I will say that I will not actually show this process in my stories--it's more fun for me to write vampires and werewolves who have to live with themselves

Thinking of applying what I'm called Rabies Rules to my vampires and werewolves. As in, the only opportunity to "cure" them is before the transformation fully sets in. For werewolves, this is before the next full moon. For vampires, the time window is much shorter; it can vary between days to hours

Once the transformation sets in, that's it. No turning back. In the case of Ren, his transformation set in immediately, since it was nighttime and he was actively bleeding out so the magic rushed to preserve his body. Not that he's complaining about being a vampire

Also wanna take inspiration from rabies post-exposure prophylaxis itself; the actual "cure" is a difficult-to-brew potion with specific ingredients that must be taken in doses over the course of a month or so with week long intervals. If the doses aren't all taken, the transformation still happens
