A photo of my left hand gently holding a small brown bird just inside the door to our apartment lanai
At some point this morning, a leetle, teeny bird flew into our apartment from the lanai.
It ended up confused, or chilling, and occasionally cornered upstairs by our vaguely interested and half-assed predator Anu.
After a few hours, the deft use of a swiffer […]

An image of Gus standing under a blue sky, staring into the morning sun with a tearful expression, overwhelmed by joy and regret. The wind whips his hair and clothes around him, scattering pink and blue petals in the air, and his hat is in the process of falling off, but he doesn't seem to notice or care.
💙 HEY YOU WITH THE PRETTY FACE 🌸
🌸 WELCOME TO THE HUMAN RACE 💙

a drawing of Lucy standing ominously in a doorway. She is framed obliquely, partially hidden behind the doorpost, lit from behind and glaring into the shadows inside the entryway. #ctangleart
"Lucy arrived the following Monday. She descended upon the doorstep in the middle of the afternoon like a thundercloud in a green dress, a harbinger of a deadly summer storm."

a drawing of Antoinette and Lukas. Antoinette is a tall, fat Black woman with long micro braids twisted and piled into a tall pouf on her head, held in place with a tiara-like pick. She has some faded pox scars on her face and chest, and she is wearing a slightly threadbare arsenic-green dress. Lukas is shorter than her, with tan skin, a hooked nose, and black hair. He's loosely wrapped in a quilted robe that was once red but has faded substantially, and he's not wearing anything else under it. An opium pipe steams in his hand. His eyes are hugely dilated. They have their arms around each other like best friends and are looking off-screen with somewhat conspiratorial smiles. #ctangleart
The patrons and employees here moved slower, lost in a dream. Several of the establishment’s escorts were lined up against the wall, taking advantage of a moment between clients to rest their feet and have a drink. A tall, heavyset woman stood by the door, dark braids piled high on her head, casting an experienced eye over the patrons like a panther choosing which gazelle made the most promising target. A drowsy-looking man at her elbow noticed Gus approaching first and tapped her on the arm. Several of the other escorts perked up as they caught sight of him and ran over to take his free hand, to compliment him and his date, to flutter their eyes and offer their services, and Gus turned them each away by name. Only when the woman at the door held out her arm did he hesitate. “Evening, Lord Tavaire,” she said. “Fancy some more company?” “You know I can never say no to you, Antoinette, my love,” said Gus, “but I can’t have you outshining me in front of my sweet ingenue. He’s fresh from the country. We must acclimate him slowly.” “I can play nice,” Antoinette said, though she made no attempt to demonstrate it in her manner. “Later, perhaps,” said Gus, drawing his boy close to his side; he was growing distracted by the siren call of the escorts circling like sharks, and if they didn’t get some privacy quickly, he might bolt. “But — Lukas, you’re a calming soul. You can join us for now.” The man who’d first noticed Gus tapped Antoinette’s arm again, teasingly this time, and she shoved him back much harder as he crossed in front of her. With the decision made, the other escorts dispersed instantly.
a couple of extras from A Bird in the Hand that i've fallen in love with :) Antoinette and Lukas, coworkers at Gus' favorite gentleman's club 👁️ they're joining my portfolio of characters to put in similar small roles in future pieces haha

An illustration showing Gus and Darius sitting on a victorian style sofa. Gus is leaning over 3/4 of the couch, with Darius shoved into the remaining 1/4. Gus has taken Darius' chin in one hand and has his other hand on Darius' thigh, forcing his legs open slightly with his weight. Darius was in the middle of smoking and is holding his breath while smoke trails out of his nose. He seems nervous, but more concerned or disappointed with Gus than anything.
Despite their unseemly contact, he studied Gus for a long moment before responding.
"You're drunk," said Darius.
"I am," Gus said brightly. "Although, it's really the opium that makes things interesting."

I can't tell from the photos in the listing if they had the sense not to repeat the pattern on the…reverse.
