Saplung 🌿
My submission for #AugurMicros2025
@augursociety.bsky.social
(cw: forest fire)

A small illustration of blue-green moss fronds in the bottom left corner of a page that fades from light to dark grey. In black, the following text is superimposed:

Patches on her arms turned from sandy brown to sickly orange, alerting her to run.

Another firestorm was fast approaching - they always did, during dry season.

Amid shouted instructions, she circled an ancient tree, dropping to all fours at its concealed burrow. Into it she crawled, letting the thick moss carpet fall back over the entrance, shutting out daylight.

At last in the familiar darkness, her reaching fingertips sank into the sentient tree’s gelatinous centre, where she’d shelter until the storm had passed.

“My nutrients are yours, old friend,” she murmured, and slid up into the oxygen-rich core.

At the very bottom of the image the following information about the superimposed text is included: #AugurMicros 2025 (augursociety.org) Saplung by Janique Bruneau (puncprosody.com).

Skylights shaped like pyramids and triangles let in late afternoon light.

I went to see Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein this afternoon at the theatre and it was a film of horrific beauty. My heart aches for Creature, and this film truly gave him voice, an agency both brutal and beautiful. I can't wait to watch this masterful adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic again.

The Guillermo Del Toro adaptation of Frankenstein movie poster displayed on a screen.

In your eyes
When we met
Was an ecology
Entire
For a place
I'd never been

You stood there
Mystery incarnate
A #martian in the skin

Oh baby
You might as well've
Told me lies

You know
I'd believe
Everything

"Ghost Bride"

#watercolor #artsky

My watercolor painting of a woman in a traditional Japanese wedding outfit "Shiromuku". Her body is almost transparent, with her skeleton visible in a red glow under the clothes. She's holding a bloody red spider lily bouquet.

harpy in watercolor, 2024

Watercolor painting of a harpy woman. She has blonde hair bellowing upward, her entire body is covered in feathers, and her legs are leathery and ends in bird feet with sharp talons. Her wings are half folded, and she is standing on one leg over rocks by the sea.

Eight of Cups 🍷

illustration of the "eight of cups" card from the upcoming Vampire's Tarot. The image shows a vampire in a long cream gown ascending a stone staircase. Eight brass cups trail behind her in the dark water and there is an eclipse in the sky.

Kiss
Between paper pressed
Against your chest
#unseen

Close wide your eyes
To this
hallowed filth;
A soil for growing
Our likeness
In flesh or idea

By whisper
Breathe my name
Pray

I spent the next couple days with a bad back, dealing with jet lag... thanks to a lot of sleep and a lot of help from my chiropractor, I now feel somewhat normal again and can get back to writing 💀✨

CAN*CON at the spacious new location felt so relaxed, and my pitch session with Ashley of Wolsak & Wynn was lovely (nervous as I had felt beforehand, the conversation itself was so warm and welcoming).

And it was great to see so many friends, Writers of Ottawa peeps, and make new acquaintences!

Treasures from my last day in Tokyo, including perhaps the most epic bookmark of all time 🛸

From left to right, on a furry green blanket: 25 by NIGHTMARE, Violet Dawn by Kamijo, a Rilakkuma teacup, a Rilakkuma sticker, two yokai magnets, an embroidered cardcaptor sakura badge with Kero and friends on it, a cardcaptor sakura tin case with Kero and friends on it, and a large Capsule Corp magnet.

Close up of a bookmark in the shape of a flying saucer emitting a purple tractor beam that is pulling up a cow saying "help". The tractor beam is translucent so it highlights the line in the book that it is placed over.

Neon-hot #energy
Prickling beneath the skin;
The pain of coming back
From being numb

Your fangs
Slide in
Velvet follows
Your tongue

Baby please
Draw it out
The static from my veins
The blood
My body made
Too damn much of

You make this mortal cage
Ache deliciously with love

Certain deep bass sound waves are capable of putting out fires with specialized speakers (rather than water or chemicals) by shaking oxygen molecules away from fire molecules and are currently being tested for more widespread use. So badass.

Home safe with Scout 💜

そろそろ出発だ…

本当に寂しいけど、Scoutちゃん会いたいよ♡

またね、日本！♪

Time for this satisfied bangya to pack up and head home... I really, really, really don't want to leave Japan, but I miss Scout ♡

My phone case is face up on a table to show the custom Scout photo on it while I hold up a glass of whisky in a toast.

Day 3 of MASKED HALLOWEEN was kickass! We did just about every type of moshing/furi throughout and it was SO MUCH FUN! Most importantly, I got to get up close to HIROTO's side of the stage and rock out to his awesome guitar riffs and solos! かっこよかったぁぁぁ！
