Me: “I hate these places. I think it’s just cos literally every job I’ve ever had has been in one of them and I don’t drive” Ari: “they’re miserable fucking places. The amount of times I’ve been out to them for job interviews and stuff. They’re a special purgatory” Me: “I know. The thing is, I keep finding myself in fancier and fancier ones and somehow the fancier they are the more they just feel like a dead mall”

Ari: You write grief extremely well lmao Me: thank you [keyboard smashing] Me: In my defense, it's mostly because I am grief extremely badly

Two plushes sit on the couch — Quagsire and Slowpoke. Slowpoke has a yellow microfibre cloth on his head, making him look a little bit like a Galarian Slowpoke

Little path down by the Maryhill Locks. It is early out, and frosty. The sun is peeking through behind the trees, casting mist over the entire background.

My character in Runescape, which I got back into recently after kicking the addiction at age 13. Her top half is full Rune gear, her bottom half is an adamant skirt, and she has gay little shoes.

Seafront view from a grassy patch overlooking the Brighton i360 which I think is some kind of ride to view the city?

The cover for Vampires in Park Circus. It is drawn in the same style as the 2025 Witches cover -- fine black lineart, but the colour scheme is red rather than teal. A woman with long flowing black hair in a Kate Bush-esque gown runs towards the viewer. She looks behind her, afraid. Park Church Tower, a notable landmark in the centre of Park Circus, looms behind her. The same golden magic from the first book explodes from her head like psychic power.
The new front cover of Witches of Merchant City, drawn by Jenni Coutts. Intricate black-and-white lineart depicts a woman with a side-cut and a black leather jacket, in front of Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA). Golden energy crackles from her hands, and green clouds swirl behind.

A photograph of the cover for Vampires in Park Circus. It is drawn in the same style as the 2025 Witches cover -- fine black lineart, but the colour scheme is red rather than teal. A woman with long flowing black hair in a Kate Bush-esque gown runs towards the viewer. She looks behind her, afraid. Park Church Tower, a notable landmark in the centre of Park Circus, looms behind her. The same golden magic from the first book explodes from her head like psychic power. The photograph is taken in a park, with tree cover behind it.

Scrolling through an email on a phone. There are occasional photos on the left, and the writing on the right is squished so it only takes up three characters or so per line, but goes on for miles with blank space under the photo
Photo of the canal, the algae has gotten so thick this time of year by the locks that it literally looks like big green goop
An A4-sized diagram showing how all the Pokémon main series games connect together. If you read it top to bottom, it goes by release date, separated into layers by what console they came out on. If you read it left to right, it goes by in-world chronology. It gets vague towards the bottom-right of the diagram, which annoys people who are even bigger anoraks than me about this sort of thing
A heavily filtered photo from Pokémon Scarlet with love hearts everywhere. The player smiles vacantly at the camera while Shiny Malamar stands menacingly behind them
A picture of Lawrence III, the antagonist of Pokémon the Movie 2000. He has a truly diabolical green hairline with big wispy sideburns and is looking vacantly into the middle distance while holding an Ancient Mew card like it's the only thing that gives his life meaning.
The new 2025 cover for Witches of Merchant City. It is drawn with fine black lineart with teal rumbling clouds in the background on a starry night. The protagonist, Holly Winter, stands in front of the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow City Centre, her leather jacket swirling behind her as golden magic crackles from her hands.
