Reanna: Although We're Secular, We Like Giving Up Something For Lent. We Decided To Give Up Tumblr And
Reanna: Although we're secular, we like giving up something for Lent. We decided to give up Tumblr and taking baths. (Baths use a lot of water, and our main purpose for taking them isn't cleaning.) That means we won't be on Tumblr again until Easter.
But today is Mardi Gras, a day of indulgence. So, we're going to take a bath, paint our nails, come back here, and like a bunch of cemetery pictures! No doom-scrolling today!
We hope you enjoy your Mardi Gras and that your Lenten sacrifice is worth it.

Reanna: What do writers have to do to get some attention around here!? We'd like people to buy our books and give them a chance.
Do we need to parade our minority status?
We're bigender!
We're Mexicain-American!
We're plural!
Do we need to share our discourse opinions?
Like we're gonna do that.
We don't want discourse.
That's not why we're here.
In our pinned post, we have a link to a master post listing the books we self-published. But no one seems interested in them. What are we doing wrong!?
Terrance (to others): They say a watched pot never boils, but they never said anything about a saucepan.
F.M.: The Birthday Massacre released a new single and will release a new album on April 11. I'M SO HAPPY!
This is our cat Mia. Mia wants chicken. He might be part Maine Coon. That's all.
Terrance (to others): We have a title for our new project: Le Prince and Disney (no relation.)
Iris Le Prince is the one describing the silent films. Her surname comes from Louis Le Prince, the guy who made the first film. Benjamin Disney is the one making the dark ride. His surname comes from Walt Disney because he has big ideas.

From Our DeviantArt Post
Title: The Murder After Byline: Reanna Field (It's actually by SL.)
This is the front cover for The Murder After. It has a white pillow with the yellow rose and knife lying on top of each other in an "x" shape. The rose's stem has blood on it, and so does the knife's blade.
F.M. and SL worked on it during Labor Day [2023.] SL took the picture, and F.M. did the rest. He traced and colored. To add texture, he put the photo on top and made it more transparent. It was better than filling in texture by coloring.
Not from Our Post
SL: I wanted to share the meaning behind the picture. The yellow rose represents friendship. (Jacqueline was Terrance's friend.) The blood on the stem represents the cut on Jacqueline's neck. The pink paring knife represents nothing. We chose it because our mom doesn't like it, just in case we were still taking pictures when she got back.
I'm proud of this cover. It's my favourite.
The Murder After is out now, so you can buy it on Amazon. (Link to its page.)
New Project
Reanna: We're preparing a new project to work on once SL finishes The Year After. It's about a girl in charge of describing short silent films to make a dark ride accessible to the blind. All films we plan to use are in the United States' Public Domain.
We don't have a name for this story yet, so we're calling it Whatever Terrance is Doing. (It was his idea. We came up with the working title when he started bookmarking videos of old films with no idea what to do with them.)
