Pre-Orders Now Open for “Many Drops Make a Stream” by Adrian Harley!

Pre-orders for Adrian Harley’s debut sapphic fantasy novel Many Drops Make a Stream are now open!

A memory-stealing cult. The ever-watchful City of Eyes. Making small talk. Join Droplet as she faces all these horrors and more…

Vigilante shapeshifter Droplet has trained her entire life to take down those with more power than scruples, but she still makes mistakes. When a rescue mission goes wrong, a memory-stealing cult of blood mages escapes with kidnapped captives in tow. To save them, Droplet reluctantly teams up with the outgoing, tenacious Azera. Droplet knows better than to trust a human—she made that mistake once, and that person’s betrayal scattered her community across the known world—and she can tell Azera is hiding secrets behind her sunny smile. But if they can’t learn to work together, even Droplet’s own memories could be lost.

Many Drops Make a Stream, Adrian Harley’s debut novel, is the stand-alone first book in a series of related fantasy-mystery-heists featuring the shapeshifter Droplet and the friends and found family who work alongside her to fight the corrupt powers-that-be. Many Drops Make a Stream is rated general (adult) audiences and features shapeshifting shenanigans, a nascent f/f quarrelers-to-lovers pre-relationship, a wonderful extended cast of family and pseudo-family, necromancy and blood magic and spellwork (oh my!), and one (1) very angry goose.

For this campaign, we’re offering:

Many Drops Make a Stream e-book (ePub and PDF formats)

Many Drops Make a Stream digest-sized trade paperback book (bonus: every single print book comes with a bookplate signed by Adrian Harley!)

Ok, writers, new reason to Finish The Book: because that means you’ll get to have cover art

@rcrisdraws​ hasn’t even gotten to the “add color” stage of cover design, and look how epic this looks!!

That’s them!! My characters!! They’ve been living in my head for years, and now everyone can see them!

hamelin and mhy are feeding us so damn well this lunar new year

#my friends and i watched the stream together and i am not kidding the scream i scrumpt when he came on screen... it was no joke #make that black outfit a skin and i'll never ask for anything ever again #ofc the song is a banger the art is jaw-dropping #h.amelin does not disappoint #they got a.imer to sing a song in the program too. The A.imer. that's absolutely insane to me #have mercy on my heart #all the designs are great btw i just screenshotted xiao but there were So Many good ones #note

look i am delighted marvel is finally in the find out stage after they fucked around and completely over-saturated the market but i can't help noticing it is always, always, always the female-led projects bearing the brunt of the criticism and just left out to dry by disney

#the long awaited black widow movie given a direct-to-streaming release during the height of the pandemic #something they would have never done with a spider-man or thor movie #ignoring toxic (male) fans review bombing captain marvel #the terrible and rushed cgi in she-hulk #saddling their first solo female director with a project pretty much impossible to make work #and now instead of pushing the marvels release back because of the strikes like so many other studios did with their big fall films #disney just decided to drop it with the most lackluster promotional campaign. feeding it to the wolves essentially. #it's exhausting #a shout into the void

[unholy-fabray]

god i wish streaming services would bring back the weekly episode release schedule for tv shows. miss her every damn day xx

#idk y'all i just miss the experience of enjoying media in a synchronized way with so many other people </3 #nowadays i feel like a new show drops and it's only Big for about 2 weeks. then it fades to the background #and if you miss that 2 week period then you're late to the party (plus spoilers are very hard to avoid bc everyone's seen it all) #releasing the entire season at once takes away the anticipation and excitement of eagerly awaiting the next episode #showing up to school or work and being like “omg guys did you see the episode last night??” and predicting what's gonna happen next #and making a whole Thing of watching the episode when it airs: watching it as a family/inviting friends over/Discord calling during #plus it gets people talking about your show for a much longer and more consistent period of time #AND it would be in the streaming catalogue afterwards anyway for any people who wanna binge it. OUGH #max rambles

is everest music video on friday insider information or just you guessing. i'm suspicious of everything now

just me guessing 😭 i dont have insider information lmfao

#i just feel like youtuber streams coount and friday is the start of the new streaming week so the mb dropping on that day would be #a nice stream boost #it just makes sense #ask #so many fucking typos in that first tag wow

The way I just politely wait for Paper Girls to finish streaming in my office so I can start it all over again. Super normal. Very lacking in deranged hope.

#paper girls #save paper girls #honestly I haven’t properly sat and done a watch in a minute because it makes me feel hopeless and sad at this point #but I’ve actually watched it probably 40 times by now and streamed it at least a hundred more #like if I time it correctly I can do three full streams a day #this is math I am deeply familiar with by now #morbidly curious how many views have been notched under my account alone…and stupidly hopeful legendary is still tracking that shit #far as I know they’re still shopping it. last I heard two weeks ago cliff said he understood they believed it had potential #god I hope he was right and that shakes out #like. that’s all I want by this point. I’m so simple. save paper girls. #the rest of the media world I’ve pretty much given up on caring about until usher drops next year so… #chop chop folks. pick up my show.

Fellow UK folk, Justified: City Primeval will be on Disney+ from 6th September.

#justified #justified: city primeval #[.] #fuckin christ that’s AGES away #means a whole bunch of people have no choice but to find ~other ways~ to watch it #or else see a billion spoilers before they get to actually watch it #and how many of those people are gonna rewatch it once it drops on d+? #so the streaming number’s not gonna reflect how many people in the uk actually watched it #which could affect how they choose to make any possible further seasons available to us #‘‘fewer people watched it than we anticipated. so it must not be that popular in the uk. so we won’t rush to get future seasons here.’’ #and then the chances for dvd or bluray releases for our region are as good as fucked #i just. #why are the people in charge of distributing media so fucking shit at it???? #😒

He was loved by many and he will be missed greatly

May he rest in peace

#There is so much I want to say and i'm not great with words but i'm going to try #Technoblade has meant so much to me #he was the first mcyt I ever watched #one of my first digital art pieces was of him #his streams and videos never failed to make my day #He was a huge inspiration to me and he still is #He will not be forgotten #I will not forget him #i'm not going to stop drawing him though I probably won’t for a while #As others have said he wouldn’t want a little thing like this to mess with his brand #I am filled with grief and I don’t think the full weight of it has even set in yet #It’s so hard to wrap my head around the fact that he is gone. #I have so many irl friends who lives he touched and we’ve all been mourning #I remember gushing about his strats and accomplishments with these friends #I remember shouting subscribe to technoblade and blood for the blood god at the top of a tall fair ride with them #i remember getting the first update video about his cancer and watching it with them in my room #we were sad but he somehow had managed to make even that video entertaining and lighthearted with his humor #Several of us are going to buy his passing merch (only he would drop merch after this) #I'm going to miss him immensely #May he rest in peace #technoblade never dies in our hearts

honestly the biggest thing for me in this hamilton (the musical) v hamilton (the person) stuff is just the fact that there is still a hamilton (the musical) fanbase in 2023. that is honest to god mindblowing to me. i thought we'd left the slave owner musical in the past.

#i will note the person complaining about the shared tag is on the spectrum and that musical seems to be a special interest #so i guess. being that passionate makes sense. #also they seem to straight up hate hamilton and like that one red bull driver which. #is surprising to me as another autistic person #who knows that guy dropped ableist +racist slurs in a professional setting twice (2017 then 2020) #and also got to hear firsthand while watching him stream the casual use of one of those slurs. #but i also understand that a LOT of autistic people have difficulty simply dropping special interests or hyperfixations when morally #dubious stuff comes out about them #like hp/the musical i mentioned before etc #at the same time i feel that at times thats also used an excuse to justify continuing liking things/people who #act in harmful ways. because very many autistic people (myself included) can disconnect (its not easy but its doable) when it comes #to harmful special interests. and its use as an excuse generalizes autistic people as a whole as being unable to apply #critical thought to the media we consume which (while true in specific cases for people with specific autistic traits) #makes me uncomfortable. especially when its an issue of the media being racist or antisemetic #a LOT of white autistic and/or queer people try to use those aspects of their identity as an excuse when continuing to follow/support #media or people that portray racist things/behave in a racist manner #which furthet ostracizes the non-white queer and/or autistic people who the petson/media harms #anyway long rant in the tags which is super off topic all this to say i find this situation very very funny #but hope things dont get out of hand and people dont behave shittily to op because god knows #as much as i like lewis hamilton and have many many friends who love and support lewis #the fanbase can fire up needlessly at times and target people with abuse that is ideologically opposite #to a lot of the inclusivity it purports

i’m in the desert dying of dehydration and a sing in front of me says “left water” “right dnf stream” i crawl very slowly towards the right

the burst of inner vitality i would receive from a dnf stream rn, water couldn't compare

#mind over matter and all that #i rly am losing hope of them ever streaming how they used to #for the whole year they haven't and i hoped it was the preparing/feeling down from the visa situation #but this might just be how they wanna be now cus they don't need the money or anything #it has been a month now after all #they had all kinds of plans for comtent and none of it seems to be happening #but at the same time this is a huge change and they traveled and all so maybe they're burned out for a bit #but i always kinda feared that even after the meetup they still won't make any content #so far that's proven true #maybe once they get used to things they'll really get excited for content again! #there is still some hope it's just after like a year y'know... feels kinda hopeless #but the move and the face reveal and the la trip were all massive things they might wanna just wind down from for a bit #i just rly rly wish they would stream casually again cus that's my favorite But they don't seem interested in doing that anymore #and if it's not fun for them anymore then they shouldn't force themselves ofc it's just sad #we'll just have to see what the future holds and what kind of content they'll end up making & how much #the past year so many fans have left and lost interest because there just hasn't been enough content #but they're big enough that it doesn't matter at this point #still at this rate the engagement will just keep dropping #i was hoping for a new boom after the meetup but nope... #but perhaps they're winding down and will give us the content boom for the high viewer holiday season!! #hopefully!! #anyway this was a sad ramble i am just sad it's been too long i am sorry #sheepy ask #Anonymous

Really weird how many of you worship Shane and Ryan so hard that you're like "They have a right to be paid for their art!! Stop being a brat and support them!!"

Like it's not about whether or not I want them to make money. Obviously I do. It's about how they:

teased this as a big exciting update

have been dropping serious amounts of cash on shows that no one asked for

hinted in the video that they are doing this so that they can continue to do the big expensive shit that no one asked for

keep reminding us that Steven drives us a Tesla for some godforsaken reason

are acting like everyone on earth can afford the subscription and that international exchange rates don't exist

skipped over a million other options like patreon shows and ad-supported independent streaming before jumping straight into thinking they deserve a streaming service

Like can you stop being parasocial for one second and realize how fucking terribly this has been handled. They are showing zero respect to their audience both in their decision and how it was presented. Can you not look at that and think "Huh, maybe my guys fucked this one up?"

#yeah that's right I'm still on this #watcher
