im gonna be honest maybe it's because i turn 32 in like 2 1/2 weeks but i cannot imagine giving enough of a shit about a ship i don't care for to declare myself a hater for it openly and in my display name. i don't have time man. maybe have fun with what you like instead

oh this is a fuckin banger dude

mcc team announcements are happening hold AWN

Mainly teens, though more specifically neurodivergent and queer teens, to show them that there will be a future and a family for them, even when they feel like there isn’t. As well as characters that they can see themselves in, and maybe through that, treat themselves better…

I really hope my Disabled characters help other Disabled folks feel less alone and, possibly, better process their experiences. I strongly believe having context for my own experiences would have helped me better process/handle situations when I was younger.

I wrote Ravens of Eternity specifically for the disenfranchised, because the current structure of power is designed to keep the majority of us in that category. We're barred from living our lives because of a greedy few. And so my hope is that its readers become even more woke, powerfully so.

People who believe their ideas are a bit too off the wall. Because... well- that's how it feels sometimes. I hope it shows that people will write, draw, and publish weird stuff actually have a space for them on shelves. #WritingPrompt

I'm not trying to save the world with my writing. My biggest hope is that someone finds it and feels whatever they need in that moment. Maybe recognition. Perhaps inspiration. Or possibly a kindled rage. If they need it and find it, I'm successful. #WritingPrompt

#WritingPrompt Great question. I did not map out who my audience is (demos etc.), I still don't know who they are, and I refuse to Pick A Lane (write about one exact type of person always) I kind of enjoy that, as bad a strategy as it is? It's a happy accident if anyone enjoys my work.

Personally, I hope to reach people who get invested in interesting and multi-faceted characters and, down the line, people who are bored of more conventional fantasy works. My co-writer might have differing feelings on that latter point 😬 #WritingPrompt

Weird little freaks Different kinds of freaks, depending, but weird little freaks nonetheless!

People who like weird stories and the art of tragedy

I like to tell myself the comforting lie that an audience exists for anime-inspired urban fantasy taboo goblin harem romance. But honestly, I hope some white kid on the edge of going incel reads it looking for smut, and realizes there are far better ways to be a man. #writing #indieauthor #men

I want to delight the dozen perverts who create harder art than I do because they saved me creatively and I want to give back <3

During my in-patient trauma therapy I showed some of my horror stories to other patients. They felt seen and understood, seeing and understanding everything I had used and done in the stories. They're my audience.

What kind of audience do you hope to reach with your work? Who do you think needs it the most? #WritingPrompt

Finished furnishing a townhouse vs @cometkins.bsky.social He's a writer, so I decided he would like an apartment across from the Library, and I made sure he had his own little writing nook.

Honestly, the message of Fairy Seasons is that, like lots of people, fairies do unreasonable things and have unreasonable rules. Some stories in the anthology have actually good messages. Some really, really don't. I might just be channeling absurdity and chaos more than anything. #WritingPrompt

People are people. Trying to make a "common enemy" only hurts innocent people. Not all my cryptids are queer but my cryptids can still be easily seen as a queer allegory. Especially with my two MCs being trans right now.

there are monsters and there are Monsters and it is imperative you can tell the difference and QUICKLY

Grief is madness, but it doesn't have to make you mad.

not a message per se but i do love to make the reader horny for something hitherto unexpected

HermitageWIP- Immigrants ARE your community. Home is where the heart lives. People (especially women) don't need to smile to deserve love. A hopeful attitude and an open mind can get your pretty far. Never give up your dreams. But maybe rethink them once in a while.

Punch fascists Ah shit, that's all the books, not just the latest one 🤣

Fuck nasty & die immediately

What sort of message do you hope people take away from your most recent book/wip? #WritingPrompt

Re indie marketing scams: if someone is asking you if they can review your book, they want money for it if they really loved it, they'd be posting about it without your permission

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

"I'm 100% chemical free" I say as I fade into a mass of particles unbound by the tyranny of weak forces.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

My current WIP is fun because the vampires aren't sparkly little pale boys from Washington State, they're truly horrific creatures of the night, part of the cursed bloodline of Cain, forced to roam eternally feasting on the flesh of the living... and the REAL monsters are the invading Nazi forces.

My monsters are monstrous because of their actions. There's the monsters that are actually monsters by definition, and then the monsters that relish in being villains and horrible, soulless things.

Complex question that does get asked on the text! But we'll stuck to Leviathan and the behemoth. Their unusual size represents greed, which they prove through their selfish behavior. They radiate malevolence. Selfishness is a key evil in my works. Other monsters? Thats far more subjective.

It's tricky to find the Monsters in my Series since there's a lot of demons and freaky designed creatures roaming about. But the key to find them is to look for how they act, what they think, and how far they're willing to go. Evil isn't black and white. It's hidden in Heaven & Hell. #WritingPrompt

They're victims. Humanity sees them as demons, but they _were_ human once, until an ambitious man with no awareness of consequences got manipulated by a zealot very aware of said consequences.

Many monsters are truly dangerous e.g. the Strangler, who consumes the Breath (aka magic) of the living and can grow to gargantuan sizes. Others will only attack if they feel threatened. And there are those who are called "monsters," such as the tarkatans, but are just different.

What makes the monsters in your book/wip monstrous? Is it their actions? Their perception by humanity? Are they just different? #WritingPrompt

What a great bit of news to start the day

laid down for a nap. put a stream vod on in the bg for white noise. woke up bc the streamer kept talking about goon bags

A Thaumatocracy; for the gods taught the mages of a Sunless Land the secrets of the Weave, to protect the people from the yearly Mist & what lurks within. Some nations are ruled by monarchies, a diarchy, triumvirate, a theocracy or two, & even a fledgling 'democracy' - but always w/ mages at the top

To choose only one, or we'd be here a while: the Kingdom of Kraslya in Vaeternus is a mix of monarchy and aristocracy, with a Ruling House with its queen and a council with other Nine Great Houses and one High Priestess. If you wish to read more, here's my #Septopolis post: bsky.app/profile/saya...

Most of mine seem to be a Kakistocracy like we now have in America, only more blatantly so. A future of "Trust no one."

It's a democratic monarchy, in my current wip, and it doesn't affect much the characters outside what contemporary politics do - which, lately, is a lot.

Mudlarks is present-day England, so constitutional monarchy. In Hell, it's basically a pure monarchy at civil war. Helena is just trying to survive it. HermitageWIP is kind of a parliamentary oligarchy? My characters deal with some legal inconveniences but have no encounters with real politics.
