But uh, for a book 1 point of no return, the final mission on Oliander quickly becomes that.

But it is a multi-book adventure, sooooo... yeah. >.>~

#AprilAdventure

Book 5. That's all I can say.

The promised day is almost upon me

(in other words, the day I was a dummy and scheduled two different doctor's appointments 😭 I'm going to know nothing but pain tomorrow, wish me luck)

Thanks 😅 It's hard sometimes, but it's just not worth it to do a whole big back and forth when I know it's not gonna go anywhere.

From my short story about Cathy and Sardon as teens, right after Cathy gets introduced to the members of Sardon's science club~

#AntagonistApril

He's plenty powerful on his own, and he's the demon lord, so very high authority. And he wants even more--more power and authority over the whole galaxy.

While he does use his minions effectively, he does pretty well on his own, too. He'll play the long game if he has to.

Anyway. Gonna attempt* to relax with Pokopia.

*only possible if I don't drown my whole volcano in uncontrollable lava again.

(And sorry, this is very vague; it's not about anyone on bsky.)

I'm not going to reply to them 'cause I'm not looking for an argument. I said my piece, and had people check my wording over to make sure I was being fair. I said how it came off to me and why I don't appreciate it.

If they can't even apologize for how it came off, then I'm just not gonna bother.

Haha, thank you~ XD

Speaking of admitting to mistakes. It's so fun dealing with someone who can't admit the way they worded something was rude and just apologize.

/sarcasm

For Victor, why be wrong when you can blame Farish?

Farish will admit when he's made a mistake to everyone except Victor. And he'll feel bad if it affects Rota.

Nanashi's fine with admitting when he's wrong--it won't bruise his ego at all, either.

she's right. So like Koujaku, it might take a little time.

Mark is quick to apologize. It might take him a little time, but not because he's stubborn--just 'cause he's dense at times.

So is Rota, while also worrying that the person is mad at her and spiraling into self-doubt.

exception is his arguments with the one person who can get under his skin: Meri. 'Cause no way is he about to admit he's wrong when she's getting on his case.

Speaking of Meri, she's not wrong, you're wrong.

Marty will definitely apologize and feel bad, but she can also be stubborn when she thinks

admit it, either--just that he internalizes it.

Koujaku will apologize when she realizes she's wrong... but first she has to realize it. 😅

For Ritos, why admit he's wrong when he can deflect by being a generally jovial guy? ...except when things are really too bad to deny anymore. Though the one

#AwesomeCharacters

For Emily, it highly depends on the situation.

Like did she pull a hammer on Seth? Yes, and she'll apologize for that. But also, he's still a jerk who deserves it sometimes, so ehh.

Seth tends to bundle it all in and just glare at everyone instead. But I wouldn't say he can't

The world has vibes of medieval/feudal China or Japan, which as an anime nerd, I'm all for. If you enjoy the aesthetics of, say, Naruto, Rurouni Kenshin (disregarding what the author of that series did), Heaven Official's Blessing, and the like, then this is a similar vibe. The characters fight with Japanese weapons (tanto, kunai) and study martial arts. On the villain's side of the story, we also get a look at the titular demons, each one associated with something 'negative' and each one with a name which is the Mandarin or Japanese word for its attribute. For instance, in this book, we meet Kanashimi (sorrow/grief), a draconic-demon who develops an interesting relationship with the villain

My friend Alyssa is about to publish the second book of her danmei-inspired Dark Fantasy series!! I'll be posting WYVERN reviews over the course of the next week, but to get started, I wanted to post the first book's reviews all in one handy thread!

Here's my review for Book 1: Dance of Demons

XD'' Pfff... Maybe she'd get along with Orkus better than she realizes--

He wants to release all demons, and what better way than through utterly destroying the portal?

#AprilAdventure

If the demon lord wins, he'll not only conquer the galaxy, but also release the corrupted demon realm mana into the mortal realm, which'll seep through the galaxy and slowly taint everything--until the laws of mana become just as screwed up as in his realm.

You're so good at getting into their heads, though~

But... I guess that's kinda why you do have more room to cut some out XD

Meme with a guy sweating over the choice of pressing two buttons. Above one of the buttons is a text "Cut introspection" and above the other "Add introspection".

My forever battle. (Though the real answer is probably cut 🥲)

Poe from Star Wars saying “Somehow Palpatine returned.”

Whenever I feel bad about my own writing, I remember this:

#AntagonistApril

They're very loyal to him--serving the winged dracones is what they've been taught from birth, after all.

Of course, Orkus doesn't like leaving that up to chance, so he'll ensure they stay loyal if he must--be it by offering things they want or threatening or... other methods~

Oooh, that's interesting on the third one... 👀

Yeahhhh XD I feel like he doesn't even give the Ruinbringers points; he just says they're in the lead 'cause he's stalling

Replaying NEO: TWEWY--where the missions are made up, and the points don't matter.

Illustrated cover of WHEN YESTERDAY ENDS by S. Jean. In the center are two men standing back to back. The short of the two, Ambrose, has fair skin, red hair, glasses, and one green eyes and one glowing hazel eye. He is wearing an open button-up with an undershirt beneath it. In his hands are an open book and a potion bottle with red liquid inside. He is glancing back at the man behind him. The taller of the two, Renwick, has fair skin, dark brown feathered hair, and green eyes. He also has pointed ears, like an elf. He is wearing a dark vest over a dark shirt. In his raised hand are a bundle of daisies. While Ambrose looks unamused, Renwick has a coy smile on his lips as he gazes as Ambrose. Behind them is an open window with a golden glow and in the foreground are more daisies. The colors are soft and give it a sort of ephemeral feel. Along the top is a tagline that reads: "an herbalist, a fey lord, and a curse before summer ends..." and below is the release date, JULY 28th, 2026.

A blurb graphic for When Yesterday Ends. The blurb reads: Nettles Hollow is as good a place as any to restart your life. At least, Ambrose Howl hopes so after his life falls apart. The town’s got everything he needs: a general store carrying his favorite cigarettes, a library he could get lost in, and a hedge witch who immediately befriends him. He settles in as an herbalist, using the knowledge he’d gained from academia that he’d left behind, and for once in his life, he feels like he could be content. It’s not so bad living in some rural, far-flung town. Until he’s visited and kidnapped by the skeleton valet of Renwick Frey, a fey lord living in hiding who is cursed to eat human hearts every five summers to remain alive. As his next victim, Ambrose saves himself by making the desperate claim of knowing how to break curses. Renwick is charmed enough to let him try, but if Ambrose can’t break the curse by summer’s end, then his heart is forfeit. The problem? He’s never broken a curse in his life, and given the mysterious circumstances of this one, he might even die before summer ends. Along the bottom is where to preorder the book, which is: https://books.earlronove.com/whenyesterdayends

WHEN YESTERDAY ENDS, my queer cozyish fantasy, is releasing July 28th! Here's the cover!

🌿 a grumpy herbalist who left his life behind
🌿 a fey lord who eats human hearts to live
🌿 a curse that must be broken before summer ends
