Hallo hallo, welcome to my hole in the internet~! I do writing, roleplaying, and worldbuilding, with a touch of game design. Here is where I post updates and links to what I've done as of late. Some of it is NSFW, so minors probably shouldn't be here.

I've been too bloody quiet X~X
Right, so I let this page get dustier than it should be. To give two updates...
◆ I'm currently working with an editor on a poem book. Hopefully it'll be published and ready for purchasing before the year's out.
◆ I'm also working on a submission for FurPlanet Productions and an anthology they're publishing next year. I'll provide more info as I have it.
Past that, I'm still alive and hopefully you are too. Keep kicking life's ass and shine on~!

Maybe it’s not that your best isn’t good enough.
Maybe it’s that you keep redefining success so you never reach it.

How to write the heat?
Quick Tips on How to Write Heat
Heat can have many connotations in your stories beyond just temperature. It can be a sensation, an event, or even a metaphor for something else. The way a character internalises or experiences heat will also be unique to them, so here are some quick tips on how to use imagery to convey heat in a variety of ways.
In Nature
Use colours like red, yellow, or orange
Parched scenery, like cracked earth and dry leaves
Bright sunlight
Mirages
Blistering winds
Heat waves radiating from hot asphalt
Animals huddling in the shade
Wide and barren landscapes
Hot sand to contrast with cool water
Wilting vegetation and a change in colour
The sound of cicadas
Foods and Objects
Hot peppers with bright colours
Spicy dishes (and how characters handle them)
Melting ice cream and frozen drinks
The sizzling sound of food in a hot pan
The smell of a barbeque
Cold drinks that provide relief
Flip flops, shorts, and tank tops
Sunscreen and hats
Metal and leather that is too hot to touch
Salt or minerals left on surfaces after liquid evaporates
Faded colours on objects left in the sun
Peeling paint
The hiss of steam from a kettle
Character Moods
Short-tempered
Lazy
Discomfort
Easily frustrated
Disinterested
Relaxed
Energised
Joyful
Exhausted
Adventurous
Anxious
Fearful
Irritable
Lethargic
Contemplative
Restless
Overwhelmed
Rejuvenated
Impatient
Distracted
Apprehensive
Isolated
Embarrassed
Motivated
Character Body Language
Wiping sweat from their faces
Fanning themselves
Shifting uncomfortable
Sluggish movements
Licking lips and swallowing due to dehydration
Shedding layers of clothing
Unconsciously moving toward the shade
Constantly drinking
Breathing heavily
Squinting or shielding eyes
Flushed skin
Panting or shallow breathing
Avoiding physical contact
Actions and Events
Seeking shelter during a heatwave
Roadtrips in a hot car with the windows open
Swimming at a pool, lake, or a beach
Sharing drinks with friends at a cafe, bar, or beer garden
Planning holidays to cooler climates
Staying indoors to read to watch TV where it’s cool
Watching the sunset or sunrise when it’s cooler
Going out at night to avoid the heat of the day
Beach parties and barbeques
Wildfire warnings
Outdoor markets and garage sales
Camping trips
Positive Aspects
Heat can be a time of joy, where families and friends can enjoy time together doing outdoor activities not available to them the rest of the year. Food becomes lighter, the days are longer, and people tend to get more exercise. There are also positive ways to describe the juxtaposition of something hot after immediately experiencing the cold, like a hot drink on a cold day.
Negative Aspects
Not every association with heat is positive. Hot weather brings environmental damage like droughts and wildfires that affect agriculture and wildlife. It can also lead to physical discomfort, like heat rash, dehydration, sunburn, sleep disruption, or being forced to work or exercise in uncomfortable environments.
Helpful Synonyms
Scorching
Blistering
Temperate
Boiling
Fiery
Burning
Inferno
Glowing
Simmering
Sweltering
Torrid
Steaming
Tropical
Flaming
Feverish
Stifling
Roasting
Searing
Tropical
Radiant
Common metaphors
Passion or desire
Anger and conflict
Pressure or stress
Excitement and energy
Change or transformation
Danger or warning
Life and vitality

Why using simple vocabulary will actually make you a better writer
Here’s why you should stop focusing so much on your vocabulary when writing and instead look to other language skills that can increase your proficiency and skill as a writer.
You don’t need to use fancy words in your book in order to be considered a good writer. Here’s why →
Value clarity
So many good ideas can be completely lost in a sea of descriptors or big fancy vocabulary that a reader may feel lost after a single paragraph.
There is a line in being creative with your descriptions that can easily be crossed by giving too much detail and confusing the reader with what you actually want them to visualise.
Develop your authentic voice
Focusing on your own narrative voice creates a much stronger presence in your book than trying to work with big words that just don’t match your tone or your own way of speaking.
Find your strengths and lean into those.
Remain efficient
If you can find a very simple and clear way to convey a point you’re trying to make, it’s going to be ten times more effective than explaining it in a roundabout way. It also implies that you can do it smartly and that you know what you are trying to say.
Language is a skill and you should be learning how to manipulate it in a smart, effective way, that doesn’t require inventing new words or impressing readers with the size of your vocabulary.
Instead of focusing so much on vocabulary, focus instead on →
sentence structure
sentence rhythm
literary tools, such as metaphors, personifications, similes…
immersive imagery
symbolism
purpose behind your prose
