Well, for starters, while Smiler was away, Alice managed to get a promotion -- she is now a Composition Curator! :D This came with a nice pay raise, a hefty bonus, and a new decorative item -- some more canvas stacks! I put them in the barn by the racks. :) She now just has one more promotion to go before she maxes out the career thanks to her degree -- let’s hope she snags it sooner rather than later!
With this lovely new windfall, I figured it was time to start expanding the farm a little more. Namely, by adding a Fabrication machine, a Robotics bench, aaaand -- a chicken coop! :D Yes, their first farm animals! Victor bought one each of the white, brown, and black hens, and a brown rooster to fill it. :) He also completed a dragon statue on the woodworking bench (he wanted to level up his Handiness skill), practiced his magic, did some gardening in the greenhouse (which I realized a) needed some lights and b) didn’t have any wall paint or paper -- I added both to brighten the place up, literally), and dipped his first candle on the candle-making bench before going to tinker with the Robotics workbench! Yes, someone HAS been a very busy little beaver, hasn’t he? :) I hope to make them all crafting machines given enough time. Smiler and Alice kept busy too as the night waned on -- Smiler did some homework, then headed out to their job, while Alice sculpted a bust out of their lump of clay, played some chess, and did some more paintings in hopes of getting a masterpiece. No luck there. . .

The parallel between Jean Valjean referring to Javert as
That Javert, who has been annoying me so long (…) that frightful hunting dog!
And Javert telling Valjean
“You annoy me. Kill me rather.”
Is what inspired the title of my elaborate tragicomic post-seine fanfic “Annoyances” on Ao3! It’s shameless self promotion time so, if you like any of my posts on Valjean and Javert I recommend giving it a read:

Lord of the Empty Isles
sci-fi/fantasy
set on a supposedly utopian planet recovering from a climate crisis, where bonds between people are able to be seen and manipulated (by some people)
follows a young man whose brother was cursed and killed by an infamous outlaw 5 years ago, and he’s finally able to curse him back - but it rebounds, as he’s somehow fatebound to the outlaw
to find a cure and save them both they have to team up, and he quickly finds out that the resources the outlaw is stealing go to the thousands of people neglected on prison planets, and he has to go against what he thought was right to help them
no romance, aroace MC, focus on platonic relationships
arc from netgalley, out june 6

lying beside you (here in the dark)
Mike takes a shaky breath and he says, his voice barely above a whisper, “You were there.”
“What?”
“You were there,” Mike reiterates louder this time. He holds onto Will’s hand tighter as he adds, “In my nightmare, I mean.”
Or, Mike has a nightmare. Will comforts him.

I used to think the worst parts of being a writer were the creative blocks, having to face every past mistake while editing, the fear of negative criticisms and so on, and so on.
No, the worst part is that nowadays writers also have to be influencers.

Made. A kofi look at me go. Um. Here’s the link. Job market is utter dogshit i mean complete horseshit rn. I have it in my bio there but u can send sketch reqs (or. Ig technically more accurately comms) there. I’ll probably figure out an actual comms sheet at some point but im bad with numbers and whatnot so this will work for now. Can also send fic/drabble reqs there if thats more ur style. Art reqs can be anything just know it wont be too complicated (obviously smth from the fandoms im in is easier tho i can work w/ stuff from other fandoms. And ocs if i get a ref. Idk how it would work just shoot a dm) and fic reqs are only fandoms im in bc i wont write for a media idk shit abt. Obviously. I thiiink thats it wahoo
