Remembrance Month 2026

TLDR;

Rest in peace Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen. Y’all will be missed. That said, I did get some things done this last month.
ART, ANIMATION, COMMISSIONS, & MERCH

  • I’ve been doing a bunch of brainstorming for sticker ideas on top of Uno-verse art. Got quite a few concepts I want to explore.
  • Thought up a few animations that feature my Vtuber, a Chillet from Palworld. I’ve already made a little sketch for it.
  • I thumbnailed the first two episodes of Ripley the Raptor.
  • Still thinking about doing a snail mail club but I’m starting to lean toward not doing it. After all, I’m gonna be a new parent and likely won’t have time.

BOOKS, COMICS, FANFIC, & MANGA

  • The second Beta Reader has finished Book 2! When the 3rd gets to chapter 6, I’ll start applying the feedback to Book 2.
  • The deaths of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen hit me surprisingly hard. I’m sure some of y’all wept too.
  • To avoid dealing with said grief, I turned to my work. I ended up writing 4 chapters on the day Peter Cullen passed.
  • Speaking of the next book, it is up to Chapter 39. I have less than 6k words of the original manuscript and oooooh boy. The Haven Arc might be even bigger than I thought just this last month. There’s a lot that needs to be added in terms of worldbuilding, lore, and events that need to happen due to their setup in Book 1 and 2.

STREAMINGS

  • I hit 600 followers on Twitch, so I’ll be doing a cooking stream! Current plan is September 4th at noon.
  • Next milestone for Twitch is 700 followers, which will be another cooking stream and I’ll be adding crafting streams back to the vote on Saturday.
  • I’ve got 6 weeks left before I go on maternity leave from streaming.
  • If you’d like to donate to StackUp in order to fund a 2nd supply crate, click here.
OTHER PROJECTS

  • So many granny squares. I have a little over 100 left for the main design, then I need to add in the filler and border color.
  • Baby shower went well and I’ll be working on building all the furniture we got with my precious husband.
As always, the ebook, paperback, and hardcover are available for purchase over on Amazon and you can use code ‘RAPTOR’ at checkout for 10% off your order at Cheeby Tea! I recommend the Jasmine Green Tea, Black Mojito Tea, and Peach Black Tea.

Please be safe, be careful in the severe weather, and stay cool during the heat!
