“stop invalidating male friendship by calling them gay” how about writers stop treating women as the Main Man’s two dimensional prop with tits while giving the relationship between him & his male best friend the emotional intimacy and development that should have been reserved for his actual romantic partner

the urge to write never leaves but the motivation to do so is a lover lost at war

Today I am issuing a plea: Please be a book hipster! And by that I mean: Please go out of your way to hunt down the books that hardly anyone else is talking about, the gems that have been passed over in favor of the handful of books that usually get celebrated.

Please be a book hipster (my latest newsletter)

Hey everyone!!

If you're looking for some free books and want to join some author newsletters (including mine!!), here's your chance!

THE THIRTEENTH KEY is the first book of a currently two-book series (complete story arc as two books, but more to come in the future for the second and final arc!).

It's a LGBTQ+ scifi fantasy featuring heists, found family, and road tripping via rail through countries inspired by our own. The series is heavily inspired and influenced by Persona 5, Final Fantasy 15, and Shadowrun 5E table top shenanigans.

To get THE THIRTEENTH KEY for free, along with a ton of other cool books, browse through the two promo pages below! I hope you find some amazing reads and wonderful new indie authors to support 🖤

And if you want to check out more of my queer indie scifi & fantasy books, you can find them on my website or on go.cara.ink!

Okay, so I posted about grabbing one of my books for free earlier this week—

BUT I should also let you all know that two of my books are marked down to USD$1.99 (and the equivalent amount in countries where my books are available) for the month of October!

I've got a post-apocalyptic gay romantasy in a world reclaimed by the fae, and a time-bending urban fantasy that's like SHADOWHUNTERS x Disney+'s LOKI x ADDIE LARUE with an autistic main character:

And, as a bonus, if you're looking for other LGBTQ+ and romantasy/romantic sci-fi books by indie authors, you can check out the group promos they're both in this month!

I'm going to be in a Barnes & Noble this weekend as part of their local authors event and my brain is struggling to come to terms with this information. Like. I only dreamed of this being possible.

reminder to reblog from writeblrs you like. If you read a bit of writing and you enjoy it, please reblog it so more people can see it. That's how you support a healthy writer ecosystem!

Just got an email from the NaNoWriMo folks "addressing" the AI thing and I swear to God this is the dumbest possible response.

"Whoopsie-doodle, we are super sorry that you all TOTALLY READ US WRONG. We 100% are innocent lil lambies and it's your fault for not just like assuming we meant something other than what we wrote. We maybe like could've picked words better. That's our bad!

But we're so sorry that you being wrong made you mad at us, so, like, stop being wrong.

Just believe that we mean whatever we say we mean right now, because if you don't, that makes you bullies. Just like the people who got upset about AI were bullies. Bad. Bad bullies! Also if you don't stop criticizing us about this we can't support writers 🥺 and that would be your fault too. Thanksssssss 🥰!"

Ugh.

This is upsetting.

Hi, it's Eva!

About me

Hey everyone, I'm Eva (she/her). I'm a South Asian artist, writer, and designer who clearly has too many interests for her own good with a love for telling stories through illustration. I enjoy character-focused work, especially those leaning towards the fantastical, and I love drawing queer people in love.

When I'm not learning yet another skill, you can find me reading several books at the same time or playing video games. I often make fan art for media I enjoy, including but not limited to Elden Ring, The Witcher, and Castlevania.

I'm still building up this space (hello, my fellow Twitter exodus pals), but I'll be posting some of my art here soon. I hope you find something you like here.

What I do

Apart from making illustrations (and writing stories to make illustrations about), here's some other stuff I've made:

Bite Sized

Bite Sized is a short vampire comic (haha), written and illustrated by yours truly. You can purchase a digital copy via my store! You can also check out the content warnings on my portfolio.

Injured after a confrontation with a dangerous enemy, bounty hunter Orion seeks refuge in a nearby bar. He doesn't expect it to belong to a vampire.

Custom brushes

I make custom brushes for Procreate, which you can get on my store, or for no additional cost if you join my Patreon at the $5 tier or higher.

My tags

I'll be updating this as I go! This is a masterlist of custom tags you can search through on my blog:

#notes from eva: updates and announcements

#art by isthiseva: art by me

My links

Here's where you can find me elsewhere on the internet:
