Sometimes, when she sings before them with their hungry, roving eyes, she closes her eyes.

Sometimes, it's better to be blind.

Ginger Hestwood, torch singer at The Nightingale's Vice. Flying Diamond, Colorado, 1943.

She performs every night. The ghosts sometimes follow her home.

Realized tonight that Charlie's internal monologue is doing double duty in every scene I write: tracking immediate danger while also processing emotional overwhelm

Writing queer survival in 1940s means every tender moment exists inside a threat

Oh goodness, I am sorry for causing worry! No... I'll be around when I can. Had some health stuff come up that knocked me down, but I'm slowly getting better

Thank you! I am slowly doing better now. Health stuff got scary for a while, so I've had to focus on that 🥲

Also I realize I haven't posted some of these in full here, but I will in the near future

Year-end summary! I'm very proud of what I was able to work on this year for TNV, and I anticipate what 2026 will bring

It was such a pleasure to work with you!

yes! I know what you mean. Sadly, where I live, fall colors don't exist; we go from green-ish to BROWN almost overnight ;~; So I really thrive when I see the beautiful leaves and the autumn vibes from others 🩷

WOW!!! 😮
So glad I did this, because I lost perspective of how far I've actually come!

The shape language and general design of the first art (for artfight) feels so much "heavier" and too angular. Whereas the "now" piece has so much more life in the flow of it all

#furryart #furryfandom

it's almost officially fall!
and you know what that means?

I've got some simple and cute autumn YCH in the works!

It's been a joy to work on her! 💖

Ooo I love this 🩷 The way you inked the hair was so amazing... the results are so flowy and luxurious. I am learning more about inking hair each time I draw myself - it's complicated! 😂

your sona is so cute, I love this 🩷 from one cat to another, five stars!

been having so much fun working on the comms lately! 🩷
