wait i just found this guy (Koa Tom). new Narok drawing reference material JSKDJLF;G #OCs

#MemeMay 28 Narok is impossible to fancast for live action or voice acting bc his look and voice are so specific in my head. Kas however looks most like Jessica Brown Findlay, and I'd love if Moira Quirk voiced her for an audiobook adaptation.

BEING ARO IS OUT NOW! 💚 So excited to share this collection with the world! 13 authors writing about the aromantic experience across genres, all celebrating what it means to be aromantic! This was such a labor of love, and we hope you love it too! Get a copy: rosieethor.com/being-aro

One of my older coworkers likes to try to shame me for eating snacks. I bring 2 every day, one usually a protein bar. I need to be meaner and ask why she’s so miserable. 💀

Day 3 of trying to befriend my trans coworker. We spoke maybe 15 words to each other.

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

Me every day: I gotta stop talking so much online I want to be cool and mysterious Also me: if I dont type out every thought I have i will die

Went thru a "not like other girls" phase as a teenager but that's bc i wasn't a girl and in denial about it lmao I do not know if I'll ever be comfortable enough to present feminine again bc femininity for me is traumatizing. Got over fake hatred of pink tho. 🤣

Part of why the "become obsessed with a blorbo to improve at art" thing is true is because they'll make you do shit you normally might not even try Blorbo is a knight in a fantasy series? Welp I guess I gotta learn how to draw armor now Blorbo has a mech? Welp I guess I'm drawing a fucking mech

i used to write only FMCs bc I was in the YA space and that was the dominant gender. I was also sure I was a cis woman and wouldn't allow myself to fully commit to male mcs unless it was dual pov, even tho I preferred writing them. I thought I was a bad feminist if I wrote men. 1/

aint no way ZZZ gave S-Billy jiggle physics on his ass in the character menu (I got him btw ldfkgsjdfg)

Let’s talk about sex

yikes :(

Narok is a trans man (he/him). When I, a repressed trans & queer teen, created him 18 years ago, he was cis, but in 2024 I was like "wait. I'm an adult now. I CAN DO ANYTHING" *hits with transgender beam* Kas is a cis woman (she/her)! I fridged her in the 2008 version and wanted to fix that. 💀

Narok: My existence is a curse and therefore I'm unlovable. Kas: I'm fine. :) Nothing wrong with me. :)

hate when i've been enjoying a book and then 70-80% into it BAM, narrative decision that ruins the whole book for me.

FOUR ARMADILLOS RUMMAGING AROUND MY FLOWERS ?!?!?!?!?

One day I want to talk about why agab language irritates me, but I'm not articulate enough to rly parse out those feelings yet. I think I just wish there were alternatives for them in certain contexts (outside of medical, for example).

Child abuse // Latest therapy sessions have been coming to terms with the fact I was physically abused. It's been a trip.

🚨InPrnt Scam Alert🚨 There's an InPrnt scam going around (I received it today and was immediately suspicious). It seems to come from a legit InPrnt address, it's very well made, but it is fake. I have confirmed it with the InPrnt staff themselves. Do not click on the "Verify My Account" button.🙏

Narok is probably a 5, and he thinks most physical altercations are stupid, but once he's hit his limit, the gloves are off. He's a mean motherfucker when he's in the thick of it, and he fights dirty. Kas is normally a 9. She will not be fighting. Get her out of here. 💀

#mememay 26 I don't write w/ tropes in mind but here's what's sprung up - Kas is tall & curvy as a break from the "delicate smol im just a girl uwu" trope you see in a lot of modern m/f romantic works. - Narok is stoic/broody but it's in the "he's just autistic" kinda way 😭 1/

Being back to work means I am forced to ruin the temporary writing routine I developed while on my break. 😔

The best way i can describe Narandra in book 1 is Kas thinks theyre in a horny romantasy and narok thinks theyre in a horror fantasy

We got to work together...but he doesnt know im trans and I havent let on i know he is....I dont wanna spring it on him outta nowhere bc he seems to be trying for stealth

That trope where the "tomboy" character is suddenly beautiful because they're wearing a dress and did their hair and makeup and everyone falls for them and they're not sure how to feel about it. Except that feeling is dysphoria and the people that made them change who they were are assholes.

I FOUND ANOTHER TRANS MAN COWORKER

Been questioning my gender again (WHAT IF IM NOT REALLY TRANS?!) and its usually bullshit toxic masculinity telling me evil things ("real men dont do x") and then I'm like "wait, how'd you get out of your cage?? Get back in there." And I feel better again.

To the “artists” that oh so loudly & proudly proclaimed that standing up for more marginalized, taboo creators/clients was or is dangerous. Not so sorry to say, we are on the same boat as the loli/shota artists are. If they go down, we are right beside them. the moral peacocking has gotta stop.

i come onto bsky when im feeling whimsical and carefree and want to see pictures and my writer friends completing their goals i go onto threads when i hate myself and want to be pissed off

Speaking to a friend last night and her concern for her trans son's welfare was so upsetting to hear. He's just not leaving the house. If you have or work in a pub or bar, please can you make it clear to customers that you run a safe space? People are scared and your support isn't taken as a given.
