Hey! 👋 I’m Amy-Leigh, and I’m a Writer & Narrative Designer at Sweet Baby Inc. 🍬 I like nature, bad jokes and weird stories, and I’ve heard I’m pretty friendly 👀 so if that sounds like your vibe, you came to the right place! 💛

Every father dreams of giving his children safety —
but for me, safety means a roof that won’t disappear tomorrow. 🏠💔

We’re short on this month’s rent — $500 needed before the 15th —and without it, my children will have nowhere to sleep in peace.

Your kindness can be our shelter this month. 🙏❤️

If you can get a good smooth lemon filling, there’s nothing like it, I swear

I humbly request to one day make a lemon meringue pie for you, with no requirement to say that you like it, I just want to try

Okay so see, in my bougie dreams, I would like to have one of those rotating clothes carousels - with the clothes on it organised by season - hooked up to either an external thermometer or a weather forecast. Then it can check the temperature every day and offer you the appropriate wardrobe options

Thank youuuuuuu 💛💛💛

I think I’m now finally allowed to say: I was so honoured to be ✨shortlisted for the Channel 4 Writers For TV Award✨ this year!

The process was so much fun, and I had a great time talking through one of my more beloved miniseries ideas! Thanks and congratulations to all involved! 💛 😘

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

"This highway leads to the shadowy tip of reality: you're on a through route to the land of the different, the bizarre, the unexplainable...Go as far as you like on this road. Its limits are only those of mind itself. A terrible dimension of bad takes. Next stop....The Harassment Zone."

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

Somehow the problems of the world seem a tiny bit smaller when you’re playing a cozy, survival game about a mouse trying to make it through the winter 😌🤍

We got to the blue dye and I didn’t need any further context, thank you for sharing this fragment of lore with me.

But don’t worry, my gorgeous Toronto group chat just got a terrible audio message of me saying “teh-ronno” over and over again 🤭

Amy-Leigh Shaw @diveamydive.bsky.social · 2d

Less that, more that it sounds so unnatural as to immediately sound like I’m putting on a (bad) accent!

Amy-Leigh Shaw @diveamydive.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, my traitorous UK tongue will *not* let me hit a “ronno”, unfortunately 🥲

“Damn, is that Amy-Leigh? Who has written and worked on story for over a dozen games projects, and given multiple talks on interactive narratives on international stages like GDC and Develop? And is STILL too awkward to introduce herself directly???”

“Hey, sure we can! You just let me know you’d like to chat, and we can grab a drink and talk all things Writing & Narrative Design!🥰”

You have Pavlov’s dogged me into feeling happiness at the sight of that little hen, because I know I’m probably about to read something good!
