Oh and I made a language for the text adventure game.

The language (in IPA) is Kaŋaʃax, and it's based on my synesthesia.

I'm still building out phrases that you, dear player, need to decode from ancient texts to progress through the levels, but it's quite a beautiful language 😻

If you like archaic secret society lore, cosmic horror, and existential philosophy, you're going to LOVE the text adventure I'm making 🥹

Oh my. I'm dipping back on here, and I saw some friends followed me 🖤 I swear I still adore you. I just wasn't logged in the app lol

Bsky authors:

What genre(s) do you write, and what do you listen to while writing?

I write horror, sci-fi, and dark fantasy and listen to opera metal (any kind of metal, really) and dramatic af instrumental.

One minute you're writing an article about the mythology of Star Trek; the next you're neck deep in Medieval Icelandic literature.

Usually I can retrace my steps, but I'm not even sure how I got here 😂

POV: You're so feral for Star Trek, anthropology, and folklore that you write in-depth analyses that literally nobody asked for.

Casually writing an article about folklore, classical mythology, and culture in Star Trek (to avoid writing the things I ~should~ be writing).

Hey, writing is writing, right? 😂

Ah I was hoping to put out a one-shot horror ttrpg adventure for Halloween, but seasonal depression smothered me so early this year.

Spooky season is year-round, right? 😅

Bluesky is like an elaborate ‘getting the old crew back together for one more heist’ movie, except instead of robbing a casino you find 8 old follows from Twitter then write a dumb joke about raisins

I so didn't intend for this to happen, but I finished writing the novella...and look! It's 15,151 words.

That's gotta mean ~something~ right? 😹

(Hopefully this finds itself on the witchy, numerology, "the universe is talking to you through random signs" side of this app lol)

Hey bsky creators, wanna body double?

I have a quiet, cozy coworking space for us where you're always welcome to join.

Not sure how bsky feels about links yet, so I'll nest it in the comments.

Hope to see you there! 😄

brb -- gotta ask for extensions from all my clients because I can't possibly live, laugh, love in these conditions.

Oh the irony of having a poster saying "resistance is futile" behind me 😹

Huge props and lots of respect for spicy romance authors!

I'm writing a spicy story for a publisher I usually edit for since they're short on writers and time, and this is HARD.

I think I'll stick to folklore hauntings and Eldritch horrors in the future 😹

I don't know which algorithm deity I pleased, but my entire home feed is all galaxy/sky and fox pictures for DAYS 😻

I've officially made it. Bluesky gets me.

Reposting this so it doesn't get lost! 😻
I actually have another story like that where these aliens break down an artist by revealing that their universe is just a bunch of stories that I tell to entertain myself lmao. It's on my patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/metaph...

Me: I really need to edit two novellas for two publishers by Monday.

Also me: Yeah, but I *could* just finesse the phonology of this carnivorous songtree language for my ttrpg instead.

Linguistics wins again 😹

So I'm following a Skillshare tutorial to create a video game for the first time, and every so often, I record dumpster fire plays for friends. Here, enjoy.

I called this one: "desperately trying to be good at my own game." And the original video is longer 😆

(PS There's some spicy/NSFW language.)
