This advertisement is for The Archive Undying—a debut science fantasy epic from Emma Mieko Candon, and book one in their Downworld Sequence, featuring commissioned fanart of Sunai, the book's main character. The artist is Caitlin Ono.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT

Plugged into his AI god when its corruption renders him unfortunately immortal, sad gay disaster Sunai takes a die-again-or-die-trying approach to his tragically unending life. Despotic police states want to leash him and giant robots want to eat him, but reuniting with the small handful of people he cares about is what’s actually horrifying.

Adrift in the wilds, Sunai makes several unwise decisions such as:

Scavenging old ruins haunted by hostile fragments of another shattered technological deity

Allowing his mind to become further compromised

Sleeping with his mysterious employer for information and fun

Joining a haphazard crew of pirates who all have different motives for hunting a feral remnant of the same god that cursed him, all those years ago

This brain-melting series-starter is like a Neon Genesis Evangelion AMV set to a bass-boosted cover of George Michael’s "Careless Whisper."

Happy Belated Valentine's day, tumblr! Have some chaotic valentines, inspired by the wonderfully chaotic queer pirates in Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland, which comes out this June! Check out a sneak peek here.

HUGE shoutout to @starful02 for the wondeful fanart of Avra, Tev, and Julian, as well as for a few of the puns. And shoutout to Danielle, Hobbit, and Sawfish for their help with puns and ideas for the cards, and everyone else who was hyping me up in the Chants and the Wide World Discord. (You can join us here if you're curious about the book!)

Back at it again in Krispy Kreme with a dumb sketch of Avra Helvaçi from Alexandra Rowland’s upcoming novel, Running Close to the Wind!

If you’re a fan of Our Flag Means Death, queer fantasy, pirates, shenanigans, or protagonists who are a hot mess that you can’t help but love, this is the book for you!

Running Close to the Wind releases on June 11th, but you can read an excerpt here!

Another rough piece from February 2021 Daily Portrait challenge. Dr Ratthi from The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells.

It made some people on MB Discord happy back then, so I'm reposting it here. Dr Ratthi is a gem.

TOR IS GIVING ME A HEART ATTACK WITH THESE EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS

[sethhaddonsblog]

dropping in to dump this life changing deal <3

"I wanted to say that I feel this place on me like a weight on the back of my neck, like ghosts at my hand and behind my eyes. I wanted to write what it feels like to be a fragile, damaged human body gasping for breath in the chin-high floods of politics and histories, of love and lore and family. I wanted to see histories twisted, the mythic mangled, devils made visible."

-Vajra Chandrasekera, in a letter to booksellers for The Saint of Bright Doors
