There's also a messed up fish on legs that tries to kill everything.

This song brings out the feeling of returning to a beloved homeland after long years abroad. https://open.spotify.com/track/6bk0xqkevUMxj28RdMsHDa https://open.spotify.com/track/6bk0xqkevUMxj28RdMsHDa?si=4ERYP8HSTd2tecoJsfIa1A10 May 2026 19:57 +0000at://did:plc:mnvrkoamn6x45vkfx75ocfcy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mljk6wqclk2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/nils.readindiefantasy.com/post/3mlivc564js2d#WIPSnips At this time, my WIP does not yet contain the word faith. However, several of my books includes sentences that amount to: "There's no such thing as fate. Things happen, and it's up to you to make sense of it as best you can." I may be preaching.

This entire album has a vibe that fits that idea. A crunching, rumbling sound as of rocks grinding together. https://open.spotify.com/track/6RhXPkea65lf0yajlJFmgT https://open.spotify.com/track/6RhXPkea65lf0yajlJFmgT?si=LCRVIoFRQ6e0vj3-MTk5Lg10 May 2026 13:39 +0000at://did:plc:mnvrkoamn6x45vkfx75ocfcy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mliv2wcwv22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/nils.readindiefantasy.com/post/3mlfs53s33s2bI use headphones and music to keep other sounds out - unless perhaps I'm in a calm environment that plays its own music. I make playlists for books and characters, and they make sense to me, but perhaps not anyone else. It's all about the vibe. #PretendPanel [contains quote post or other embedded content]09 May 2026 08:08 +0000at://did:plc:mnvrkoamn6x45vkfx75ocfcy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlfs53s33s2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/nils.readindiefantasy.com/post/3mlfq3juqik2bHappy Soupturday!

Toini, my MC, believes dreams are a way for her subconscious to process thoughts and impressions she's not dealt with during her waking hours. Others may believe any number of things about dreams. Me: I haven't thought much about it.
