Full Res Kirti: Death Tarot Art Card by WhiteCat Arts

Just in time for Friday the 13th, we have Kirti as the Death Arcana card. We agreed she's the perfect fit, as she often blurs the lines between the living and the dead.

Done by the always fabulous WhiteCat Arts. Sponsored by Sky! Thank you so much!

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 243: Garmonbozia

Cannoli sat beside Matt the next afternoon when the caravan had stopped for lunch. Keke sat Matt’s opposite—barely a tail’s length away. But despite their close proximity, Cannoli felt alone. Again.

Ceres took her meal with a blue-haired catgirl away from the main body of the group. The way they spoke and laughed with one another seemed warm. Intimate. Cannoli didn’t know the girl’s name. However, a pang of jealousy at their easy way with one another struck Cannoli’s heart.<...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 242: She's Filled With Secrets

Emberlynn’s servant, Dana, had been amicable with Destiny and Lara’s desire to aid. Destiny poured a dark liquid from a teapot with sucked-in lips, anticipating the delicious taste that would no doubt accompany the incredible scent.

“I’ve never had this kind of tea before,” Destiny said, pouring Tristan a cup. He seemed in better spirits today, and for that, Destiny couldn’t be happier. Ball maintained his position on Tristan’s shoulder, and she tapped his beak playfully.<...

Full Res Naeemah Cat Facts #3 Art by Amythest

I have to wonder how they test this one. Give cats a table filled with things to clear, then watch them bat them all away?

For this one, we just handed Naeemah a pen.

Everyone's a Catgirl! Side Quest: Smiley Smiley

Matt sat in a secluded corner of the coffee shop, scrolling through his social media feeds while he waited for his date. From what he’d been told, it was best to look approachable and confident. Square shoulders, straight back, curved brow, side smile. The works.

After spending an hour fighting down his anxiety, he left the game store he’d been visiting across the street and headed over to the coffee shop, making sure not to arrive too early. Another tip he’d heard—don...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Side Quest: Emilio's Second Chance

It was as good a morning as any for a fight. Emilio adjusted the enormous anchor on his shoulder and rolled his head from side to side. His neck cracked, and he grunted with satisfaction.

“Where did they all come from?” Pearl asked. Her long taupe hair flew free in the mountain breeze. She wrinkled her nose when a few flyaway strands tickled her face, and she brushed them back. “This isn’t the right season for harts to feed.”

The damn things had surrounded the gates of L...

Ai Sunglasses & DB Trade Offer Art by Maon

Maon was a doll and helped me out with a couple of social media posts this last week.

For some reason, my IG account is constantly spammed with sunglasses manufacturers asking me to rep their brand for free. So, Ai's repping every brand for free.

And the trade offer guy looks pretty legit.

Chapters will be back to normal tomorrow :)

Behind the Scenes September: Researching Krethik

For the first extra behind-the-scenes post, I wanted to talk about Krethik - Ichi Island's man before Magni. 

Krethik's name is a small dedication to a student I tutored a few years back. He and his family had recently moved to the US from Tamil Nadu, India, and they were incredibly kind in sharing their stories and backgrounds with me. I find Indian culture and history enthralling, and I've weaved various strands of their culture into the roots of Ichi Island.

In Krethik's <...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 241: Fire Walk With Me

The servant gaped, and the whites of her eyes glazed over. Ravyn found that amusing. It was too easy to get exaggerated reactions from newer servants.

“M-my apologies! Allow me a moment to check with the mistress,” the servant said in a barely audible tone. She shut the door while Ravyn and the others waited.

“Why did she close the door?” Destiny asked, frowning.

“Because I haven’t seen my mother in over ten years,” Ravyn explained.

“Ten years?” Desti...

Hey all,

A huge thank you to those who took the survey and gave me feedback! I really appreciate your kind comments and suggestions.

I'll be changing a few things that people asked to see more of:

Everyone's a Catgirl! NSFW Ch. 240 Microburst (Part 2)

Ceres accepted her meal and took a seat next to Lucia. The errant brushes of skin against skin made her heart skip and her throat dry. The last time she had indulged in another person was Abalone—a time that seemed so long ago.

The friction remained between Sir Cailu and his Party, though Matt, Keke, and Cannoli appeared more at ease. Keke’s discomfort had vanished from her face, and she laughed while Sir Matt regaled her with a story.

Once dinner had ended and dishes had been...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 240: Microburst (Part 1)

The afternoon following their first night traveling, Ceres stretched off to the side of the caravan. Clean air swelled in her lungs as she moved through the motions of her [Magic Knight] training, and birdsong filled the air.

Nyarlothep was beautiful.

It seemed so impossibly untouched by the Defiled threat. The forests were dense and teeming with life. No billowing towers of smoke or the constant scent of flames on the air. Those who watched their camp at night were always at ease...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 239: Tropical Storm

It’d been two days since Ravyn and the others left Shulan. They returned the record book to Melody, as requested, beckoning for a carriage only an hour later. For an extra fee, the coach agreed to take them the rest of the way to Zhuli.

The nights spent camping out with the coach—whose name was Lily—were uncomfortable at first, but Ravyn quickly acclimated. To Ravyn’s benefit, Lily had a similar sense of humor. That made things somewhat more tolerable.

The carriage’s int...

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The walls of Espada’s shop echoed with the stringent, rhythmic ring of hammer to metal. Smithing was solid and sure, like the passing of time. Any material, any shape; she could do it. Her father had taught her how in another life long ago.

A woman could learn a lot with so many lives to her name.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Espada lifted the glowing knife from the table and quenched it in oil. The satisfying sizzle turned her ears, an...
