it was sort of entertaining to me to see people get into a popular hockey yaoi and then be seemingly taken aback to find out that in real life hockey is actually really macho and homophobic because the fact that hockey is macho and homophobic is the entire reason hockey yaoi would appeal

super mario galaxy may be a soulless chatgpt husk of a movie that makes enough sense in the moment but demonstrates zero human emotion at all and only exists to stimulate the fried dopamine receptors of gen alpha, but at least it adds another sexy fox to the animation canon
A pale young man lays on his back in the woods, eyes open and glowing faintly, attention rapt and overwhelmed into his visions, as four large crows devour his body. The bottom panel features a quote from the author Jay Kang Romanus, "The entrails lay heavy across the threads of time, soaking them in possibilities and truth", the words dissappearing into a dark forest.
ELTON for @jelliclejay.bsky.social, poor carrion meat prophet of a thing, for my "TRAGIC BACKSTORIES" commission series. Thanks for letting me work on him! #art #illustration #commissions #horror
I'm not sure about you, but I think the collapse of US hegemony, a global price spike and recession, and a new ground war in the Middle East are far worse than drag queens reading books at the library.
secret lives of elvish wives etc
real housewives of himring
ahhh but the difference is that betrayal is a terribly designed game with zero balancing ;)
not a video game, but mansions of madness scratches this itch quite effectively!

Excerpt of the poem VULTURE BEES TRANSFIGURE THE MAN I TRIED TO BE by Rick Hollon on a blurred blue background. Quote: wings split my skin up my middle / seams my father mapped, outlines / of scenes, what seemed to be, the me / from which he wouldn't permit to deviate / the bauplan, the grand boyplan of his genes / deviously unmarked, unmarred, unsnarled.
Out now! Tender, raw, and as sweet as honeyed roadkill: "Vulture bees transfigure the man I tried to be" by @mimulus.bsky.social is a lush portrait of queer transformation 🐝 (Also, our team is obsessed with vulture bees now.)

Now it's official.
THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER is coming to you.
I can't begin to express how proud I am of the show we made.
It's a story of systematic evil, unjust imprisonment, abuse & the need for ALL to fight together to beat the devils who prey on us.
Get ready!
I don't know if everyone knows this, but I edit a zine called @kaleidotrope.bsky.social. It's eligible for Best Semiprozine. Kaleidotrope published 48 short stories last year and 28 poems. They're all eligible in those categories. Amazingly, I'm also eligible for Best Editor (Short Form).

well there u have it folks!
been thinking about "cosmic horror" a lot lately, and since writing is thinking, i tried to put some of my thoughts down in a more-or-less organization fashion over on the blog.

yes
is that all u have to say?
i heard this story was rly moving and makes you think about what truly matters to you. i heard it was gorgeously written and utilizes second-person to immerse you in the protagonist's voice. that's what i heard.
The shop with the flowers growing around its window frames opens before dawn and closes after dusk. It’s rumored to be a place of exquisite wonders, and you have heard that a witch owns it along with her vampire brother.
There's a magically little shop around the corner, with friendlier staff than you might imagine, but if you visit...buyer beware.

If USA is constantly branding itself as a Christian nation & the most powerful nation in the world then its wars are Christian wars, its genocides are Christian genocides, its mistakes are Christian mistakes.
That’s the terms USA set. There’s no escaping that.
and here's a reminder of what i did!
