Hey, I'm Destiny! I'm a middle grade novelist as well as a writer for TTRPGs and audio dramas!

I'm also never talking about theme parks as much as I want or playing as many TTRPGs! I always want to be talking to/working with more cool and creative people so feel free to drop a message in my DMs!

We are at 65% of our goal and today's fun fact is about my favorite joke in the entirety of ANA. Help us get funded for more very long walks to hyperspecific punchlines!

I don't think I've ever taken a longer walk to get to a joke than revealing the origin of Sig's name in episode 9 and it's my favorite joke in the entire series. From the concept to the title of the episode, it all came to me in one burst while I was riding the bus to work and then I shaped the entire season to get there. I don't know if I'll ever be that funny ever again.

Cheese dungeon is starting to take shape. Usually I try and ground my location designs in real spaces but cheese dungeon begs to be gonzo, so going through every single room and trying to make it more weird. Is definitely a fun challenge.

More of my IRL baked good adventures for today's fun fact! And now I wish I had some kouign amann! Or at least some bricohe. Man this show makes me hungry, lol.

Help us make more episodes to make everyone hungry! Support our crowd fund!

Even though I lived in NYC for three years, I've never actually had a cronut--let alone an official one from Dominique Ansel's bakery. I have had his kouign amanns though and they're sooooo good.

My pet project of the year, which I've been sitting on for *months* until the more seasonally appropriate month of October, is finally out and I'd love it if you checked it out! It's some of the funniest stuff I've written and the acting/production is top notch!

The month of non-stop Absolutely No Adventures news continues!

We're still crowdfunding of course and we cracked 40% over the weekend! But we need to reach 100% to keep any of the funds so let's keep it going!

AND Necessary Evil premieres tomorrow!!!! Get hyped!!!

"Name one indegrdient that we use here on a regular basis that's still alive when we put it in the batter/yeast" might be my favorite throwaway joke in the entire series.
