brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

This is gorgeous!! I love the roses especially 😍

Digital commission work for someone called Nova, whose character is an inky black cat with unsettling proportions. The page is filled with drawings of this character in different outfits, with different expressions.

comm for @critta.fyi !

They're called cops as a shortened form of "coppers", it was a nod to the fact they were for sale to anyone with the $$ to pay them, that includes people they'd consider criminals if said criminal had been poor.

This is starting to sound like a goodbye but it isn't one, I just wanted to take a second to share my gratitude for this fandom. My work badge is on a sheef lanyard, these two remain and will always be so special to me. I hope everybody's been hanging in there in this bonkers-ass world! Ily all!! 💞

Life is bonkers, for instance my brother is getting married the day before CTR's event release. I was the sole employee of my department at work from May to about October. I've become more autistic, more unapologetic, and more feral than quite possibly ever before.

SK fandom I love you all dearly, I wouldn't ever have written anything LET ALONE A WHOLE BOOK without you. My AO3 account isn't going anywhere. I have limited free time in which to write and do creative stuff but your love and support for my AU ideas was the first step to fully original works. ❤️🫂

January's freebies will only be available for dl another week, then February's reads will rotate in. Check out this amazing lineup! Something for everyone here, truly!

🌱🌧 ONE WEEK 🌧🌱
Capture the Rain will be available for FREE DOWNLOAD the entire month of February! For the late-diagnosed autistics ♾️, for the queers recovering from deep emotional wounds 🏳️‍🌈, for anybody who needs a little extra reminder:
As long as we take care of each other, we will be okay. 🫂

Promo graphic of text in clouds superimposed over a photo of a sunny view of the Atlantic Ocean, open water. The book cover for Capture the Rain by Jules Gillem is on the left, surrounded loosely by text clouds containing reactions from readers that say "This is one of my favorite tropes and I never see it anywhere!" "Aaahhhh" "Axes is so HOT." "I love this" "SWOON" "I'm cackling" "I need them to be openly in-like/love before I go to bed LOL"

Another book promo graphic with the same design, clouds on a photo of the ocean. The book cover for CTR is on the right, hugged loosely by more reactions in clouds: "Thought this was gonna say "his dick"" where the word dick has been censored by a cloud imitating the eggplant emoji Regarding the line "It's about to get bad," the reader response of "Yay!!!!" "Screaming again!" "GUTTED." "Don't do this to me" "I'm not crying" "Not me tearing up at work (this is way more interesting)"

You don't have to take my word for it, check out what early readers have to say about Capture the Rain!
I put my whole self into this book all but literally, so it means a lot to me that it resonated with my pre-release readers 🥹❤️🌱🌧

Digital art portrait of a young fat white man with brown eyes and hair and a large facial scar over his whole left cheek. His hair is shaved in an undercut, and his bangs stick up in the front. He wears a serious, neutral expression and a blue environmental cleanup day t-shirt. Palm trees are sketched in behind him, and there is a bright blue frame around the image that reads "POV Protagonist Glendale Peterson"

Let's meet our point of view protagonist!
Glendale Peterson would describe himself as a "pretty regular-degular guy." But a shitty year, bad breakup, crosscountry move, AND a zombie apocalypse is a lot for anybody to handle.

I was very lucky to sensitivity read Capture the Rain by Jules Gillem.
I did not expect to love it so much. Books that capture (yeah, I know) me this deeply are a very rare ocurence. In fact, I can count them on one hand.

This was wonderful though and spoke to me deeply.

Digital art of Marcelo Gonsalvez from Capture the Rain, an Afro-Latine young man with dark skin, bright and attentive brown eyes, and long curly dark hair swept back off his forehead and pulled into a low ponytail. He wears a hideously chartreuse green flannel shirt over a faded grey tee shirt. The black background behind him is decorated with scattered electrical wiring notes, formulas, and symbols used for labeling electrical plans.

I have a lot of promo that hasn't made it here to this platform so head to insta for more, but I can't go any longer without ensuring the most perfect man ever is on the timeline 🏳️‍🌈♾️🌱🌧
Marcelo has been through a LOT by the time he meets Glendale. Together they breathe a little easier, rest better.

Digital illustration of a blue metal crowbar on a background of fluffy ivory clouds and ivory flowers with yellow centers that reads "Emotional Support Crowbar"

Glendale has superb tastes, to be honest. Best multitool, best zombie apocalypse survival weapon... Excuse me sir, that's his emotional support crowbar. THIS IS A SET, DO NOT SEPARATE 😂😂😂
