Just got a super cute and fluffy chibi comm of qilin Lan Sizhui and tiger Jin Ling from @kunogi.bsky.social 🩵💛
A bit of their design was inspired by @thekansta.bsky.social's Noodle AU💙💜

I like to write messages on the strips of paper before I fold and smoosh them into shape

3 thin strips of paper that have writing on the back reading:
But what makes night within us may leave stars. -Call the Midwife
I have licked the fire and danced in the ashes of every bridge I have ever burned. I feel no hell from you. -Nicole Lyons
Sometimes you do the right thing and it doesn't work out. That doesn't mean it wasn't worth doing. -Rim of the World

3 thin strips of paper with writing on them that read:
Why did people have to have a purpose? Weren't they enough? -What Big Teeth
And sometimes, no matter what the world says, our hero is the one looking back at us in the mirror. -Leah Johnson
Your kindness is not the problem. The problem is people who take advantage of kindness. -Link Click

3 thin strips of paper with writing that reads:
But everything worth doing is accompanied by fear. -Witchcraft for Wayward Girls
If you're scared of dying, don't be afraid to live.
You have your whole life to take care of yourself. -Court of the Dead

Very lazy styling wearing one of my cotton kimono yukata style because it was too hot outside for October. I know the obi looks a bit of a mess, but that was intentional.
I adore this kimono and had some fun adding a pair of my small horns ✨ for a bit of a Halloween coord 🎃💀🍄

Got the cutest, most beautiful comm of the boys from kalatl (www.tumblr.com/n3rdx), modern AU style~🩵💛

I took some inspiration from this comm to write the closing scene for the latest chapter of my ZhuiLing Modern AU fic: archiveofourown.org/works/593205...

It's the final day of Deaf Awareness Month and I have one more manga recommendation with a Deaf MC: The Farthest Love in the World
It's a BL and has the potential to be a very sweet love story~

It's absolutely ridiculous, but really a fun time XD

IkuNeko @ikuneko.bsky.social · 11d

It's almost spooky season (October) so you know what that means? Time to read horror (and adjacent) novels~🕸️⚰️📖

I read any kind of novel that strikes my fancy year round, but it's fun to give myself a little reading prompt on occasion 🫰

Bit by bit, I'm getting through it. I just want to complain a little while struggling.
