The last time we were on a long flight, my wife and I invented a game we call "Little Guy."

You start a game of Little Guy by saying, "I'm gonna hand you a little guy." The little guy is some kind of baby animal you are imagining. "Oh," she might say in response, "Okay," and hold out her hands for it. I will then mime handing her the animal. This provides some clues as to the little guy's size, weight, and general ungainliness.

She then gets to ask questions about what kind of little guy this is, BUT NO QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS ACTUAL APPEARANCE OR SPECIES ARE ALLOWED. Qualitative questions, or questions about his behavior, are the only ones permitted. She can ask "Is he soft?" or "Does he seem nervous about being held?" or "If I put him in the bathtub, does he seem okay with that?" or "Would he like a lil grape?" or "Is he the sort of little fellow who would wear a vest in a children's book?" but not "Does he have fur," "Is he a reptile," "Is he from Asia," etc. Some questions are in a grey area so you have to follow your heart, but the point is not to identify the animal as fast as possible: the point is to guess the animal purely based on vibes + how he would act if he were in your living room right now.

And I'm not limited to yes or no answers! If she asks, "Would it feel appropriate to see this little guy in a propeller hat?" I can reply, "Oh no, he has a gravity to him. A bowler hat would be a more appropriate hat." Or if she asks, "Does this little guy have protagonist energy?" I can say something like, "he probably wouldn't be the main character in a children's cartoon. He'd probably be the main character's ditzy best friend who's always eating sandwiches, or something."

We're big Twenty Questions to kill time in a waiting room people, but Little Guy is more about the journey than the destination. It's got a different kind of sauce that's nice if "killing time" and "lowering anxiety" need to happen hand in hand.

Guess who finally got their laptop back and can start writing again ~~

[digitalta]

I got a new cat

He is crossed eyes, his meows sound like a wailing baby through a chainsaw synthesizer, and he does not like his tail being touched with penalty of death. I love him

Hey I asked this in the discord too but I thought I’d also hit you up here! Would you be ok with me getting a tattoo done for Diablerie based on Tom at the end of the final chapter? Id 100% send pics once it was finished if so! I hope this finds you well either way, your work is incredible and I’ve recommended Diablerie to like .. 6 people and reread it 4 times it really did rewire my brain lol 🖤

Bet

On a serious note- go right ahead! I’d love to see the finished result or to bounce ideas if you had any questions about the concepts in it. I’d be honoured beyond words!!

realising i'm a masochist did actually make me better at getting out of my comfort zone because now i can just reframe it as microdosing on getting off

[digitalta]

Celestial bodies and anomalies literally changed me thank you so much for your writing 🫶🏻

You have no idea how much this made me smile. Thank you so much for your kind words

[digitalta]

Oh screw this, it’s been so long and I feel like a jerk. I’m going on vacation, enjoy these little sneak peeks.

COVET SPOILERS

Next chapter is 100% plotted out. Time to spoil some of the bullet points I have written

These are exact quotes of my document

“Go through portal, teach scout how to fly, scar runs into objects, etho and idk all part of no wings club, scar runs into more objects”

“Mumbo realizes etho and iskall are both old as hell”

“Scout glow like a glow stick”

“Xisuma turns goo, eater of worlds”

Another fun fact, the story Covet in my personal documents is legitimately titled “Oooo little feathery bastard grian oooo look at me I’m a watcher”

Reread covet for the millionth time and just wanted to say that I hope you’re doing alright! I went through your blog a bit and I don’t know how recently you moved, but I hope you’re settling in well :-)

Oh gosh I am NOT settling in at all. Still so many things to do- I’m actually going on a vacation leaving Wednesday to Ireland.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m doing better, still blarg at times but getting by. I have NOT abandoned Covet, I just need my damn computer!
