Greetings Hoarders,

The world might be on fire, but the Derpies will add a little celestial light into your world with sparkly shenanigans. Or at the very least some attitude you can relate to!

✨🐉💙

Today's star sign is Leo! Welcome, my bold, self-assured, and powerful weirdlings! (July 23 - August 22)

💙♌💙

You strut down the road on your way home from a long day. Everywhere you go, people lift their heads, noticing you, drawn by your natural magnetism and charm.

A little creature bumps into you.

Suppressing a snarl, you glower at it. 

"I saw the future in your stars," it said from beneath a heavy cloak. "Come with me so I can foretell your fate."

Before you can comment, the creature quickly turns and hobbles down an alley, dissapearing into a dilapidated room built of sticks and stones.

Annoyed, but slightly curious, you follow it. Don't let it be said you aren't brave!

You lift the tapestry to enter a dimly lit room filled with lots of books, trinkets of dragons, dangling crystals, and skeletons of various creatures displayed as art.

The creature settles behind a table covered in stacks of books and junk. It pulls out a pouch filled with rocks and bones, scattering it on the table in front of you.

Stubby clawed hands wave over the scattered bones. The single burning candle flicker as the creature grins and holds up its other claw.

"One gold, and I'll tell you what I see"

Do you pay? (Back the campaign!) Then read on for the Leo Derpyhoroscope

Of course you paid. You are a courageous Leo afterall.

🦁♌ Leo Derpy-scope ♌🦁

"Don't look so serious, you might scare the chickens!"

A roar rumbles through your chest. You paid one gold for this!?

"Out, out, out!" The little creatures shoos you away.

"Worst gold spent, ever," you grumble, leaving for your home.

🦁♌💙♌💙 ♌🦁

Thank you for coming to my unhinged and unprofessional opinion. Scatter to your day and I shall return in 2 with the next edition of Derpy-scopes! In the meantime vote the next Derpy to have their fortunes told! And don't forget...bring that coin of gold (Back today!)

On a slightly unrelated note, and because I want to share something positive with you guys. I entered a short story writing contest (1000 words and other specific details we had to meet) and the results came in today. Out of over 2500 entries, my short story was one of the top 5 finalists! And I was the only one who didn't use the bonus points in that group. To say I am buzzing with excitement is an understatement!

As someone who writes epic length books (170k + words) this was an enormous challenge, but I did it! Just finishing a story in 1000 words felt like an impossible achievement.

You can read the story here on my Patreon ^_^(Warning, the story has profanity in it)

Yours in art,

Therena
