Alright, updated post after speaking w/ a neurosurgeon. Currently I mostly need help affording transportation to various appointments and saving up for multiple surgeries. I will link the post explaining the full situation of what's going on with the IIH in the reply. I apologize for asking again.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

“Ugh I can’t believe you ship jayvik” yes I also can’t believe I ship the wildly popular gay ship where the smaller guy is full of self hatred and the big guy loves the other one regardless of his imperfections and they are also canonical soulmates. Who could have seen this coming

I've done a lot of lobbying and a lot of activism. It seems stupid, it seems pointless, it seems ineffectual, but phone calls are one of the few things that legislative offices really pay attention to as a barometer for public opinion. Call early and call often.

watching ppl play pokopia is extremely funny

21k on the S&T rewrite. I still have some Kas chapter bullshit to work through and then I think I'm done with part one?????????? finally????? #roanwrites

Narok is probably the most stubborn character. He also has PDA (pathological demand avoidance), which is related to his 'tism. Getting him to do something he doesn't want to do is about impossible bc he'll just not do it out of spite now. You have to convince him it was his idea first. 1/

my uncle has 3 new foals he wants me to come help tame (aka I pet them and turn them into cuddle bugs lol)

Another dr appointment today. Gonna discuss my PT options. 🚬

I'm happy to say today is the day for the book cover reveal of DEVOURING FORTUNE! @jeleynai.bsky.social did an incredible job on the illustration, I'm in awe. For fans of Tanith Lee and A.K. Larkwood, about bargains gone wrong. Follow the prelaunch page! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ole...

This is now a THE FAITHFUL DARK propaganda account. 🫵 oooo you wanna read a book with nuanced takes on organized religion and morally gray characters so bad oooo (it's also got a trans priest) #booksky

I don't want my books to be read by everyone bc they're not FOR everyone. They're for me and the weird little queer freaks in my phone.

Late to answer this but I think the problem is I don’t actually want *everyone* to read my work. I have no interest in being beloved by the masses and breaking into the mainstream is actually a worry that keeps me up at night. I want to be known only by a few people who give a shit. #pretendpanel

I'm meeting god.

Weird thing to have gender dysphoria about but not being able to be a groomsman in my friend's wedding bc I wasn't born cis and I cant be fully out as a trans man sucks 😔

Thanks to the Transhet jam, both M/F themed trans collections have reached 100 submissions! Trans Dudes with Gals: itch.io/c/4618165/tr... Trans Women with Guys: itch.io/c/5274853/tr... These collections have overlap but there's a fair bit of difference since some of the partners are cis. Enjoy!

Okay, look, readers have preferences, literary tastes adn dominant paradigms are always in a state of change, whatever, but maybe if you don't like worldbuilding, fantasy is not actually the genre you should be reading?

you ever get so excited to write a scene that instead of writing it you just walk around in circles for a while

happy international women's day to all my trans sisters who have to fight this stupid ass country to prove they are who they say. today is for you too 🥂

YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW YOUR FAVORITE THINGS. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW BAD AND ITS OK. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN TRY DIFFERENT MEDIUMS. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW YOUR FAVES FUCKING NASTY. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WI

Too bad we're rolling with it. 😼

I think it's pretty important to understand that algorithmically-run platforms have long understood anger and argument drives much more engagement than just showing you stuff you like, and if you find yourself being made to despair at what a platform shows you, that is the system working as intended

had me hooting and hollering with delight #trigunstargazespoilers

saw a post once like "i don't understand the appeal of brats. i'm supposed to get turned on by you acting annoying" you don't get it. the appeal is fucking the annoying out of them

if you want to know how important it is for you to do this math: the fees patreon took from me in 2025 add up to roughly 3 months of income. that's 3 months of income i would have paid taxes on if i didn't deduct the fees from the 1099. 3 months of income i never actually had!

Did you know? The Trans Romance/Erotica Collections I curate are bad actually. So, I've made sure to list the sins of my own work and others. Read the new list (and lots of my thoughts) here: www.darkchibishadow.com/post/distast... This may be challenging read to some.

related to LRP // "most trans men are gay and ur limiting yourself if you depict them as 'straight'" is so gd stupid like people really will make up stuff to be mad at 😭

The reason I made this post is to emphasize that even the tamest, most mundane trans art gets some of the most ridiculous and harshest criticism and it often comes from within the trans community itself. And I'd really like to see that stop. We need solidarity and respect.

my mom is one of those people who throws dust jackets away (or just loses them) when she reads and to this day i'm still pissed off that some of my childhood books are missing them.

to celebrate reaching 20k on the rewrite, here's a #WIPsnips! #roanwrites

Reminder that pinning an image-only feed is peak. People tend to say what annoys them, but show what they enjoy. So vibes are always better. It also makes interacting with art/cool things way easier. And its helped me be online more without flooding my brain with the bad. bsky.app/profile/why....

Just had someone tell me my trans collections on Itchio are disrespectful because I'm "reducing" characters by their gender. So hey, if you're looking for some "reductive" trans romance/erotica, check out the lists! The full lists are here: www.darkchibishadow.com/post/my-tran...

I am always drawing the pookies. 🐺🔮
