Black unisex t-shirts remain the bane of my dysphoria, so I tried to modify one three sizes too big for me to adjust the neckline and sleeves. I love this @fleeks shirt too much to ever let it go.
Ignore the pink scrunchie.
(Also, no shaving or makeup. I guess I was too tired to think I might put these online)

(Spoilered because it's someone vagueposting about the end of The Crackling Sea.)
It'll forever be wild to me that I've written something that people love and talk about as much as I do.
I know I say it in the author's note for Eyrie, but I wrote the GryphIns novels because it seemed likely I was going to die the next time something went wrong with my health if they couldn't figure out what was happening, and I really wanted a series that Glenn could read while he was dealing with depression and loss, and we both grew up reading creature fantasy novels.
And, well, gryphons have always been our favorite mythical creature.
The thought that so many people would read the series, love it, talk about it, draw fan art of it, write fanfiction of it, and just... enjoy it the way I have blows my mind.
I'm grateful and humbled.

Thinking about... Younce this morning.
Pros: Fluffy, can see in the dark, looks good in pink, good with gryphlets, friends with Biski and Zeph, leadership potential
Cons: Afraid of fish, maybe TOO adorable, infamous pumpkin thief, weak stomach, sometimes isn't pink

Thinking of... Reeve Silver of the Argent Heights tonight.
"What kind of name is Silver?"
"Not the type you give to a fledgling you expect to rule an eyrie."
Famously the first lesbian in GryphIns who can put together a nest that doesn't fall apart.

"Inside you are two wolves" except it's two gryphons and it's Pride Month so they're Flicker and Whisper and they're dating.

Happy Pride!
Merteazy updated my favorite Whisper gif to be as trans as she is. Finally, a pride gif for gooey transfemme antiheroes who need to wipe their eyes. I feel so seen <3

Someone should tell this author to write a ninth book so there isn't that weird gap at the end of the third row.
Doesn't she know the Kindle library series page is rows of three?
I wonder if she checks the contact form on her website.
I heard she's a vampire, surely we can all donate blood or something? #GryphIns #Saberbeak #gryphon

"Whatever happened to that one sailfin near the sunken eyrie that Blinky took a liking to?"
Blinky has painted the glyph for "DO NOT EAT" on its side and put jingly things on its spines so nobody gets eaten by it and it's still living out there as a kind of Not Pet.

Thinking about.... Tresh and Rorin this afternoon.

While we have the intersectional pride shirts at conventions, @fleeks was kind enough to do specific pride variants of her gryphon pride shirt design, too.
So if you're always wanted trans or lesbian pride gryphons, you can get them here: https://kvalenagle.redbubble.com

I turned on the TV and YouTube offered up a video by a popular author where he was interviewed by AI and its existence made me sad, so if you've ever had any questions for me, Ask Me Anything here and I'll try to reply to everyone until I'm back writing full time again.
Story, writing, personal, queer, feline questions: whatever is fine.

Thinking about.... Erlock Startail today.

Tonight I'm thinking about... Hatzel and Zeph at the start of their adventures in Eyrie, long before Saberbeak. The last saber-toothed tiger gryphon and a tiny little copperhawk with blue eyes, abandoned by the taiga pride. Who knew how far from home their adventures would take them?

Thinking about harpy eagle gryphons this morning.

Gryphons should be longer, flappier, noodlier. We have the technology. We can make this happen.

The Eyrie Hearts sticker pack on Telegram has been updated to include the Gryphmas Gingerbread Cookie version of the owl gryphon chapter header by Kittrel =]
-
Hmm, what's that over on Patreon? It's not a special cover variant of Eyrie as a Gryphmas gift to all patrons, even the free tier, is it?
I think it is!

I've said this many times before, but it's always a delight working with Jeff Brown on a new cover.
On the left, he asked me what I was thinking for The Ruins of Crestfall. On the right, Jeff being brilliant.

While Kia has never had her own sticker pack, @Stupidshepherd would often draw fun group picks of the various characters they've done stickers for at the end of the year, and one year, Kia got a cameo in a Christmas scene =]
I love how Shep draws Kia so much<3

At the gym today thinking about the canonically trans characters in GryphIns (Whisper, Lei, Clamshell) versus the ones fans seem to have a consensus on being trans (Naya, Grax).
It'll probably get cut, but I did write a scene with Grax's PoV that makes her explicitly trans for fun. The Strix Pride denmothers trying to take care of two very bitey saber-owlets and glaring at Grax every time she walks by like this is her fault.
-
The fact that gryphons are so strongly associated with both vanity and pride when they're flappy cats is part of what I love about them as a species.
Plus, most epic fantasy protagonists don't cough up hairballs or randomly soak up puddles or bite each others' tails... to those story's detriment.
-
Okay! By popular request, you can now use the Eyrie Megapack of GryphIns stickers on Signal, too, if you'd like =]

Happy Ace Week / Asexual Awareness Week!
I realized there were no ace pride stickers in the Eyrie Hearts pack, so @Yotenotes was kind enough to create ace stickers for Chert and Xin =]
If you're on Telegram, you can add the pack here: https://t.me/addstickers/EyrieHearts

Since it's October, I thought it'd be fun to do a quick thread of fan art for the bog witches who show up in the GryphIns series.

It's 1am, the dragons are asleep, but I'm up doing author admin stuff, so let's have a little fun.
As the GryphIns series nears the end, what character are you really hoping ends up on a book cover?
I'll go first: the infamous Duckbill Murder Hen 🙀

A year ago, Pridelord released. Full of mystery and intrigue, strange monsters and adorable ottergryphs, it was also the first in the series to offer a main cast transfemme gryphon. And Paysan has done a great job of reviewing it without more than very vague spoilers.
If you love gryphons, epic fantasy, creature protagonists, naturepunk, or adorable antihero+cottage core lesbian couples, check it out today!

Who's up at 2:30am editing? It's me =]
It's nice and rainy, the windows are open, and there's time to get some edits done.
Please enjoy this @meeteazy fan art of Blinky.
