Chronically ill goth lifestyle is dressing up like a princess once a week and then going back to Halloween pajamas. In other news, my second surgery consultation was pushed back 😔

I lived, bich Now that I'm not straight-up dying: diseased gallbladder is gone! Esophagus is okay-ish (for now?) But doc found some lingering damage from my tumor era, so I guess I'll be back in a few weeks for that lolol Im gonna rest up. Book 3 is almost done and audiobook 2 is in capable hands 🖤
Rare photo jump scare!! But i just had to show off the amazing birthday gift I received!! My absolute favorite item from @kelbyronauthor.bsky.social's shop. I'm obsessed with Big Boy! (Obligatory: go get a copy of 'A Lonely Broadcast', all the cool eldritch beings are reading it)
The first and last words of Chapter Zero (Prologue) of A Lonely Broadcast" Book Three 💚
I'm getting my jelly bits shuffled around in September!!!

2500 words written today which means it's study hour ❤️🌌⚛️
Birthmas, book, and a pool I found at someone else's apartment complex
I wanna get a tattoo that represents nuclear physics without giving people the impression that I enjoy Big Bang Theory. Someone needs to study the pipeline of "kid who wanted to be a scientist and now writes books about weird shit"
I often forget that Evelyn is canonically 4 apples tall until I draw her next to one of her friends ("The Fool" card for the Kickstarter tarot deck btw)
Just woke up from a dream where I tried to convince everyone my dad was a famous musician named Butterfinger Jones.
A Lonely Broadcast Book Three is halfway finished and BOY is this one gonna hurt...
My first event decor!! I bought these for an event later this month, but I'm unsure if I'll actually make it due to awaiting surgery and being so sick :(
Endoscopy day!! Everyone cast a quick "Kel stop getting tumors" spell if you believe in faeries.
Trying to get dolled up and feel normal despite being so sick that I wanna take the big dirt nap.
This time, it's not cancer we don't think! But it's too soon to know exactly, and in the meantime my first internal scope is Wednesday. All I know is that I'm in a lot of pain, very fragile, and very thankful for my friends and family rn. ❤️ I'll be back!

I hate drawing staircases, so why do I keep doing this to myself?
Used to dress cute, now it's the Evelyn special all day every day oops
Having a lot of fun with these~ It's also been cathartic to depict Evelyn's story in art. It's personal, as someone who struggled badly with substances from age 16 until... well, recently. She's a messy girl, but beyond the crass humor and grumpiness, there's beauty in her.
