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!

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.

We're so close to hitting 40% on our campaign to get Season 3 of Absolutely No Adventures made!

As today's fun fact implies I am not the best at actual baking, but stories about bakers? I got that in the bag and I really want y'all to see what's next!

"Toroids of Dimension and Despair" being cronuts are an inside joke referencing the time my high school BFF and I tried to make cronuts from scratch and they turned out so badly that we just ended up eating icing from the tube. The despair was palpable.

The Abernant sisters from #FantasyHigh. Adaine is another character that's very dear to me. I'm not sure if these two ever had such a nice moment in their childhood, but that's what fan arts are for.

A digital illustration of two young sisters. The older of the two, on the right, is holding the younger ones in her arms. They're both smiling widely. They have blonde hair and long pointy ears, and they are dressed in somewhat posh clothes. The ilustration is signed Fineterra.

Post your most popular #art from Twitter.

I posted this back in 2021 as part of a little personal project I decided to work on that ended up blowing up to include over 78 characters from more than seven different actual play shows and podcasts.

A group shot including Fig Faeth, Riz Gukgak, and Adaine Abernant from Dimension 20, Taako and Merle Highchurch from The Adventure Zone, Hardwon Surefoot and Beverly Toegold from Not Another D&D Podcast, and Jester Lavorre and Nott the Brave from Critical Role.

And as of today we've gotten over the 30% threshold--love those round numbers!

Bea is partially named after Beatrice from the Divine Comedy. That way, Sig has a "devil" on his shoulder in Happy and an "angel" in Bea. Not that Bea is any less prone to drastic action than Happy!

It’s a crazy mixed up world, but If there’s one thing you can rely on, it is this: When drawing a battle axe, I will 100% without fail put a little chip in the blade.

A work in progress vintage style illustration of a black knight with heavy armor, a helm and a battle axe on his shoulder. The axe has a little chip in the blade.
