May the 4th Be With You!

I was raised in a Star Trek household, but I am learning to love the Starb Worbs as well. I’ve been watching Maul with one of my best friends, and we’re going to start in on the main movies next week. I’m looking forward to it! This drawing was done in like 45 minutes, but…

Genres:Novella, Science Fiction, SFR, Holiday, AliensPages:84Published:September 16, 2025 ✧ Overall Score✧ 7/10 I thought this one was really fun and cute! It had good pacing and introduced some fun cultural practices without trying to shove far too much into too few pages. I’m not really a fan of instalove but I do think it kind…

Protect What is Left

Another bigger story type illustration. I’m not totally happy with it, but I think it tells a story and that’s what I really needed from it.

Maylancholy Day One: Dreams & Nightmares

Posted on May 1, 2026May 1, 2026 by Squids

He could pace the empty halls forever, but there was no outrunning sleep. It was a yawning void, pulling him endlessly inward, warping the world around him the longer that he resisted its pull. The shadows flickered, the edges of his vision twitching in time to his pulse, causing the walls to breathe with him…

Sometimes its nice to just have a place to write down my thoughts and feelings. Maybe someday someone will read these things, and maybe they will always just remain my private archive. That’s okay either way. I keep meaning to go back in and post to my website. I’m not really sure why its been…

Keep Trying?[NO]Invalid choice. I’ve been wanting to do some more detailed illustrations! Or rather, some illustrations that might get people a little more interested in my story. Sometimes I like being a bit artsy, and adding in some symbolism… I’m not sure how well it stands as a work of “art” art, but I had…

Echo of the Larkspur

Posted on January 21, 2026May 2, 2026 by Squids

Genres:Romance, Science Fiction, Robots, LGBTQ+Pages:295Published:July 23, 2025 ✧ Overall Score✧ 7/10 A fun read with a lot of interpersonal drama, worldbuilding, and scifi tastiness! Suffered a bit from an overly flippant tone in places and a romance that bloomed in ways I didn’t fully buy into. ✧ Enjoyment Score✧ 8/10 Light hearted and easy to…

Julie Chan is Dead by Liann Zhang

Posted on January 1, 2026May 1, 2026 by Squids

Genres:Thriller, Mystery, HorrorPages:320Published:April 29, 2025 ✧ Overall Score✧ 4/10 Man. I really did want to like this novel, and if I hadn’t read the last 2-4 chapters… I think I would have rated it a lot higher. There was an interesting sort of mystery building up through the whole novel and though the characters are…

Jesusland by Noelle Kidd

Posted on January 1, 2026May 2, 2026 by Squids

Genres:Memoir, Nonfiction, Cultural HistoryPages:344Published:August 12, 2025 ✧ Overall Score✧ 6/10 I listened to this as an audiobook, and while the narration was great, the content itself was “just interesting enough to keep me company” material. I can’t say I actually learned anything… but its always interesting to see a view of your own culture from…

Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

Posted on May 13, 2025May 2, 2026 by Squids

Genres:Cozy Fantasy, Queer, RomancePages:296Published:February 22, 2022 ✧ Overall Score✧ 7.5/10 I don’t normally have much patience for overly cozy or sappy stories, but it was something I needed at the moment. The characters are very lovable and there is a plot to speak of, at least enough of one to break things up between the…
