Foto meme de um tipo de efeito dominó em que as peças ficam gradativamente maiores, um homem esta prestes a derrubar a peça menor onde o texto diz em inglês "learning to draw" (aprendendo a desenhar) e na peça maior no final da fileira o texto diz "everybody knowing what your fetishes are" (todo mundo descobrindo quais seus fetiches são).

One more drawing for now. Young Aidan looking, uh… pissed? Glum? Idk, annoyed or something. Happy October

Here’s Toivo for another October drawing

An ink drawing of an elf man in a beach outfit looking at a threatening crab. The elf bends at the waist and is looking particularly slutty with an open button up shirt and short swim trunks. There’s a bag of beach supplies sitting next to him.

I keep forgetting to post the ink drawings I’ve been doing, but I’ve also not been keeping up with each day either so it’s par for the course. Here’s Rosemary.

Great breakdown on why we don't want data centers being built in WI, MN, or anywhere.

Telling your otherwise indifferent Midwest uncle "hey your power bill will go up" is going to be devastatingly effective, I suspect lol

Toivo is an eccentric wizard who dreams of reliving the adventuring days of his youth…through small business ownership! But his knack for getting into trouble lands him in hot water as he uncovers a plot of cults, blood magic, and an undead ex-girlfriend.

This sounds so warm and bittersweet!

Yeah!! Feel free! I think getting the word out will be helpful! It's definitely a weird event that uses likes and reposts in a way that's not intuitive to the average bluesky user.

Reposts and likes won't disqualify anything, it just makes it a lot harder to organize and navigate which agents are showing interest in my work!

Thanks! :^)

prongles @prongles.bsky.social · 1d

I'll be participating in a pitch event today! They have some unusual rules for interaction, so if you're not an agent or editor for a publisher, please don't like or repost the posts that I make with the DVPit hashtag on them! If you want to help boost my post, you can comment and quote-post!

I guess it's Prime Day(s) again, so here are some options if you'd rather not help Jeff Bezos grow even richer. 🧵

First, a couple of Starter Packs of Indie Bookstores to support. (If you are or know of an indie bookstore w/ a Bluesky account that's not listed, let me know.)
