Hi, i'm blue, a nonbinary writer, poet, and artist! I mostly draw my ocs from my novels-in-progress :)

Kofi: ko-fi.com/breadifer
Carrd: tinyremains.carrd.co

Digital art of two of my ocs. A white wolf with yellow eyes (May) staring up at a white raven with orange eyes (Skalva). The raven has a pale pink beak and pale pink talons. The background is an abstract forest. The whole scene is covered in a sparkling shimmer.

Digital art of our cat Oddsock, a long-haired, dilute calico cat, curled up in a ball on a gray-blue bg

Digital art of my werewolf oc May looking into a medicine cabinet mirror. Her long brown hair is wet, and her face is split in half by the door panes. Behind her is a window and a shower curtain. An outlet and faucet are below the mirror (and a barely visible little house spider), while above is a dusty light fixture and cobwebs (and another little house spider in the right corner).

Digital drawing of my oc Skalva with a limited purple + pink + brown colour palette. They have a purple flower (not based off anything specific) poking out of their buttondown shirt pocket, and they are surrounded by more purple flowers. On the left: lilac, wolf's bane, lily, hyacinth, a striped flower not really based off anything specific. On the right: coneflower, aster, lavender, iris, pansy. In the top left is the colour palette from kiraelric.bsky.social

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

Reports From Unknown Places @clever-reports.bsky.social · 12h

We report: the dregs of the evening pass us by, quiet, flat sound waves reverberating across the fields. Our expert dropped their keys as they took their hands out of their pockets, and we are now hunched over the ground with our torch lights, looking for a glint in the grass.

Digital painting of a dusk sky, shades of purple and dark blue, long, dark wispy clouds obscuring the lower half of the sky. There are lamp posts on the horizon, with phone lines stretched between them, a few trees, and the silhouette of a sign post, all of them dark in the evening light.

Tarot card illustration of a drow holding a sword, its surface illuminated by eerie light. One finger is touching the sharp side, bleeding, while the hand holding the non-sharp hilt bleeds too. A crown floats above his head in the same glow as the sword.

Today marks 2 years since A LIGHT MOST HATEFUL said "run from that small town, girl, they're going to kill you"

Normally I don't post 2-year marks for my books, but I just found out this one has earned out on its advance! 🎉🎉 so an ENORMOUS THANK YOU to everyone who's chosen to escape Chapel Hill ⚡

2 Years on the Run, above the cover of A Light Most Hateful by Hailey Piper, art by Julia Lloyd, showing a red cover with lightning striking a dark silhouette. Around it are the following quotes about the book:
Gemma Amor: "will leave you breathless"
Nat Cassidy: "phantasmagoric, unpredictable"
Publishers Weekly in a starred review: "ambitious, genre-shredding"
Rachel Harrison: "a writhing-in-your-seat nightmare"
Clay McLeod Chapman: "awe-inspiring"
Eric LaRocca: "imaginative and chilling"
I Jiang: "mesmerizing"
Library Journal in a starred review: "stunning, terrifying"
