#AntagonistApril
All my antagonists are relatable enough that you can understand why they do what they do. They are given chances, but while some can come back from the evil they commit, others go too far.

Oooooof 🤣
The main Big Bads in my series are the leaders of the two groups fighting. Both have armies of powerful magic wielders, and both will destroy anyone standing in the way as they try to get at one another.

I came up with this f$&@ed up character while working disaster relief for Hurricane Helene and I hadn’t slept in days 🤣.
He’s a physical being who traps victims by paralyzing them so he can feed off their worst memories or nightmares if they’re asleep. He doesn’t manipulate the dreams/memories, just forces victims to relive them over and over while he consumes the negative emotion.
The Dream Eater, a spirit whose magic feeds off of nightmares, is the first clear antagonist, trapping the townspeople to devour their fears and rage.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is about to go on an angry rant, as Green raises his tail to halt him. Blue: And don't get me started on- Green: Wait! Before you start... Blue frowns at Green as Green looks at him calmly. Green: Do you want solutions, or do you just want to complain? Blue: Can I just complain? Blue looks surprised as Green looks over his shoulder. Green: Sure, but let me make myself some popcorn first. As Green leaves, Blue looks stunned towards the direction that he left. Blue: I may do some warm-up screams while I wait. Green, already off-screen: Just don't start without me!
Hi! We’re always happy to have authors join the group! Just need to double check with the other mods. Message me in DMs and we can discuss. Might be a day or two before I reply because day job but SUPER STOKED TO MEET FELLOW AUTHORS!
Like yesterday, the answer is blurry. The main groups are the Stormchasers and the spirits they hunt. Both view the other as evil, but both are killing to protect their people.

#AntagonistApril let’s go!
Storm Mountain doesn’t have a clear antagonist at first. There are multiple characters that commit horrible acts and you suspect are evil, but the more you learn the fuzzier the line of “Villain” becomes.

No offense to Mittens but I would not trust her around my devices.
10/10 recommend this book that broke TikTok law. I beta read it and have to say it’s phenomenal.
Side effects may include existential corporate crisis, desire to quit job and become a space llama farmer, and/or phobia of coffee.

Guess who isn’t stressed about the state of emergency my county declared for snow.
Try to stay warm out there y’all and find joy where you can. 🖤 Maybe take the snow days to read or write a book 😜

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, the first panel shows little baby Green, sitting alone in an empty void, looking disappointed but not surprised. Green, narrating: When I was little, life was bad. I thought it would be bad forever. Next, adult Green is floating through an empty void, not attached to anything. Green, continuing to narrate: But that passed, and I learned that nothing is forever. Everything is only temporary. Blue, appearing out of nowhere, grabs Green by the tail, gently holding on to stop him from drifting away. Green, still narrating: And then you were there. For good. The foxes settle down to play some kind of a board game. It's unclear which one of them is winning. Green, narrating: You make me want to believe in "forever".

Concept vs Work in Progress...
I'm having a jolly of a time experimenting with how I can inject colour into my pieces, breaking out of my usual routines.

Don’t mind me just sitting in a hotel watching Dragonball with my dog because we got caught in a snowstorm 😮💨
Might as well jot down some sensory notes for the sound of shingles being ripped off the roof for the winter setting in Storm Mountain 🤷♀️

A red fox sits amidst headstones in a graveyard at dusk.
I think I should turn this grainy, spooky photo I took into a painting. What say ya’ll?

It’s a beaver. It made sure to indignantly slap its paddle tail at my dog and I after posing for a pic 🤣

artwork of the creature from frankenstein (2025). the creature is the central figure, his body abstracted into the swathes of blues and greens, with a tinge of red, with details of furs of his coat and candles lit with red flames. his torso is carved out, exposing red flesh and a heart connected with veins that have some sprouting flowers, and the final scene of the creature embracing the morning sun. framing the creature are various body parts as well as the halves of victor and elizabeth's faces.
i love frankenstein (2025) so much

A year ago I worked the disaster response for hurricanes Helene & Milton, only to be declared an enemy by the President for being queer and researching equity.
So I wrote a book. And I became a teacher.
Nice try jackass, but I’m still kickin’. 🖕
