Shop Update!! I just made a batch of my first paper bookmarks :) and there's new stickers, prints, and mini prints. I'm having sales on a lot of things!! There's still some shirts and prints left to help out my friend, too! You can find it all here ! hydeangelus.bigcartel.com 💗

The first rule of unethical human experimentation is to have fun and be yourself.

Repeating firmly to myself that I can be trusted around beautiful, haunted-looking boys - I will not bind them half-naked to a tree or marble column and shoot them full of holes with my bow and arrow.

“Write for yourself” really shouldn’t be a license to write like nobody but you exists. Instead, it's a call to adopt another perspective - to step back from the process of creation and read what you've written as if someone else wrote it -

Getting people to read your novel is an undertaking almost as difficult as writing the novel itself, and it’s worth approaching with the same care and thoughtfulness. If what you’re doing feels humiliating, it’s probably not worth doing. You have more agency over this than you think.

There should be a service during heatwaves where the government sends you 2-5 scantily clad burly men to fan you with palm fronds and feed you peeled grapes

I have long held the opinion that beautiful men with long hair and an overall style and demeanor that would get you typecast as a suspiciously effeminate villain in a black and white movie ought to be given everything their hearts desire.

Some boys just need to be bathed tenderly in a pool with flower petals by a host of handsome attendants, massaged with perfumes and fragrant oils until they’re limp with pleasure, given banquets of rare delights, etc.

I’m strictly villain4villain. I can never resist a wickedly arch voice and bent-on-world-domination laugh. We take turns trying to kidnap one another and plotting one another’s downfall. Exchanging blackmail threats and love letters. Bouquets of roses with envenomed thorns.

One thing I wish people would ask themselves when they're trying to get started in any kind of professional capacity as a writer is "what can I nail?"

It’s amazing to me how many people seem to write in a state where they’re actively blocking out the knowledge that anyone will read what they’re writing - and still more amazing that anyone would do that and then publish the result. You know I can see everything in this thing you’ve written, right?

Los Sirenitos 🧜‍♂️☀️🌊 A summer illustration celebrating the love between a trans men couple, set against a backdrop of sun, sea, and a touch of ocean fantasy. Available as a print in my Etsy shop 🖼️🛒 🔗 Link in bio. www.etsy.com/mx/listing/1...

I will give one piece of writing advice. You may think I’ve given writing advice in the past, but I haven’t. This is the only piece of writing advice I will give: Do not put a fun fact from a popular internet post in your novel. Even if it’s true and relevant. Don’t do it.

I'm starting on new kippot!!! They won't be ready in time for the high holy days but..! I'm starting! :) Olive design is coming back because it was popular last time. Really excited to see how the white ones turn out!

If you haven’t called Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, or Stripe yet, you really shouldn't feel guilty about it. For this to work, we need to keep up these calls for the long haul, and it's perfectly fine to take as much time as you need to get yourself feeling able to call in.

Love Thy Enemy

In the future, everything is porn except for porn, which is banned.

It’s a good thing when the sun is a sort of blood red disc in a sky of sickly yellow murk, right?

I call them my specimens because they’re the men who are special to me.I call them my specimens because they’re the men who are special to me.

Hey, I updated my shop today!! Made a lot of new things and restocked stuff people asked for. My shop is here- hydeangelus.bigcartel.com Thank you!!

Visa employees clearly told to deescalate ASAP MasterCard employees more than familiar with the issue Stripe feeling the pressure ACLU put out a statement CBC covered all this What you are doing is WORKING You are getting RESULTS KEEP CALLING KEEP WRITING WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!

Boys love it when you put them in a jar with a leaf and twig to climb on.

(fondly thumbing through photo album) …and that's when I placed the cursed ring upon my finger of my own free will and succumbed to its dark influence

Remember?

I got through stripe. Login with your account, go to contact, open the 24/7 chatbot, input until you get an agent callback.

I think Visa and Mastercard may be getting a lot of calls about their adult content policies, but I just called in to PayPal and not only was there no wait, the customer service rep I got had never had one of these calls before (they were very nice about it.)

Rotating myself in front of the air conditioner like a gas station hot dog.

So, obviously the whole Itchio / Visa / Mastercard thing is very bad, and I see a lot of calling campaigns kicking off, so I tried to put together a list of things that can move the needle at a call center. Do with this info what you will.

I ❤️ my festering wound #festeringwound

I don't really have the time or mental space to commit to a full archnemesis relationship right now; looking for more of a casual, enemies-with-benefits affair.

Someone stole some of the juice that makes you gay... 😔
