Murder Strut Is Back!

Okay so I was surprised that I was tagged by my favourite author! Also this is my first time doing a tag game so here it goes!

*Last song I listened to*: Lamhey by Anubha bajaj and Shup up by Alan Walker. Lately got into indie songs by Indian Artists, which have super nice lyrics.

Currently Reading: Role playing by Cathy Yardley and A dream so wicked by Tessonja Odette! I love fantasy and thriller genre so I consume all stories! My favourite series is six of crowd by Leigh bardugo! I love morally grey characters.

Currently watching: Haunting of the Hill House! I am on episode 7! And I finished Asur, a Indian series just 2 days back... Nice mix of Indian mythology and forensic science so loved it! I also want just watched Barbie and Oppenheimer!

Current obsession: Apart from the series I am watching, my current obsession would probably be doing arts and craft... I like to make homemade cards for my loved ones and adult coloring! Also obsessively looking for a Job!

Thank you for tagging me! This was super fun @shady-tavern

Tag Game

Thank you for tagging me @those-damn-snippets! I'll just pick a couple of the names I've been seeing around, but if you see this and you want to do this tag game yourself, please feel free to go ahead!

@catloverlawyer @zzrkpfor @14-lizards-in-a-trenchcoat @kittensforbrowncoats @fyrenwater @schedios @blobti @spectruminterests @fern-writes-whump

(I hope you all didn't mind getting tagged!)

Last song you listened to: "Welly Boots" by The Amazing Devil. I can recommend that song as well as the song "The Horror and The Wild" that they recorded.

Currently Reading: Aside from Ao3 stories I'm currently reading "The Girl Who Drank the Moon" by Kelly Barnhill and so far I love it and it's incredibly pleasant to read as well.

Currently Watching: I have to catch up on the newest season on shows such as Demon Slayer, The Dragon Prince, The Witcher and I re-watched Avatar the Way of Water a couple of nights ago.

Current Obsession: Baldur's Gate 3 is very quickly climbing the ranks of me really getting hyper fixated. But aside from that, I'm currently actually really focused on my writing since I have some things planned that should be revealed soon =)

Happy Diwali! 💖

Okay, I’m sorry but I just feel so restless about the bushfires, I made a mini-comic. Maybe it will get a few more people to donate. I wish I could do more.  Please see http://wires.org.au if you want to help. :(

As Graceful as a Swan

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

Sorry op but self care is important...

Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck

Tumblr Fic Masterpost

Trying to put together a post of the tumblr fic I’ve done. i’ll try to keep this updated as I go, like the Patreon one. (If you end up doing some sorta deep dive of my tumblr and find shit I miss, please HMU with a link and I’ll add it, but I think I found everything.)

Fic based on this prompt: You’re a witch who makes a living selling potions, breaking hexes, etc. You seem like a regular shopkeep, but, if someone can give you the correct code-word, they can buy illegal love potions from your store, instantly making the recipiant fall madly in love with the customer…Or at least that’s what would happen if you hadn’t started partnering with the FBI soon after you opened the store. Write about your first sting. [Please note that this fic starts with a trigger warning about the topics of consent, more detailed at the link. I’ll happily answer questions about it if you need to know more before reading.] (Published April 11 2019)

Wanna Support Me?

If you want to help a gal out, you can head over to my ko-fi (also big thanks to everybody who’s helped out, you guys are amazing)

I still have a Patreon, I plan on refitting it for longer form pieces that are less suited to tumblr. Not doing much with it at the moment, because in these pandemic times I don’t wanna put anything behind a paywall, but if you want to support me a little bit on a recurring basis, that’d be the place to do it.

I’m eventually going to finish the novel I started on it, but in all honesty I wrote myself into a corner on that one and need to figure out what I’m going to do next. It’s all still up and it’s public and free, and if anybody wants to give me some feedback, it’s there. 

If you can’t help me out financially, I totally understand, the other way to support me is to reblog it so that others can see it.
