Riser's NOT ONLY WILL THIS KILL YOU BUT IT WILL HURT THE WHOLE TIME YOU ARE DYING, in which a trans street kid turned necromancer trying to bring about the end of the world is captured by rival cultists from across the ocean, but traps them in turn in his crumbling tower surrounded by cosmic storms, only for the three to find themselves locked in a tender erotic cannibalistic stalemate with each other and the Old Ones, to Alex Woodroe at Tenebrous Press, for publication in summer 2027.

SIGNING ANNOUNCEMENT!

"O Tenebrous, WHY haven't you released more tender necromantic trans erotic cannibalism-tinged Weird Fantasy WHYYY"

Well we heard you, friends. We heard you.

NOT ONLY WILL THIS KILL YOU BUT IT WILL HURT THE WHOLE TIME YOU ARE DYING by @davevriser.bsky.social.

Summer 2027🖤☠️

I am so beyond excited that @tenebrouspress.bsky.social has picked up @davevriser.bsky.social's debut novel "Not Only Will This Kill You But It Will Hurt The Whole Time You Are Dying," I think y'all are gonna love it 🖤👻🦴

WAHOO!!!!!!

It fucking sucks, and I hate that it's this way.

Many of the stuff was crab and barnacles. Also yachts.

A purple-grey crab very well camouflaged in the rocks

A grey green mollusc oozing water very well camouflaged against the rock it's sticking to

A blackish crab not very well camouflaged on the cement step it's on, trying to hide under a dirty tennis shoe that is actively on someone's foot. A different human's hands are at the edge of the camera's range, getting ready to put the crab back under rocks.

A dead and squishy black crab that is the width of two fingers resting on a human's hands

Went to the beach and touched rocks today. Sunshine was very bright. Saw a bunch of stuff.

a simple drawing, in flat color halftones of a yellow maneki neko holding an arrow and a laure wreath. She has skulls reflected in her eyes and is blowing a raspberry. Text above says “for victory over your enemies”.

For Victory Over Your Enemies ☠️ 🏹

dead parent + religious trauma woes up thread

gonna make a couple of posts to hopefully hide this in the thread, because it's not charitable and might be activating for folks

I miss her dearly but I'm not foolish enough to think she'd have broken ranks with faith and family for me.

It's awful to say, but fairly often these days I'm grateful I didn't see my mom live to become a modern day christofascist. It was enough with her brand of 90s-00s end days evangelical bullshit.

All good things come from their god and all bad things come from themselves, each other, and damned dems

Speaking of the devil (lol) got the Christmas letter (in April) from one of the families my cousin was talking about and I'm reminded that I didn't develop my neuroses in a vacuum!

i am delighted, hat tip to @coreopsismajor.bsky.social

HOO BUDDY my cousin just texted me with more family gossip. She's felt increasingly isolated as a center leaning human in a very conservative family, so I think she likes having someone else who will be on her side lol

Apparently my older nibling's idea of watching TV is to put the show on in the background then make up a show loosely based on what is on TV, directing whoever else is in the room to side parts.

It sounds like my dad has gone pretty much MIA and that he's barely reached out to my brother either, so we commiserated over that

My elderly cousin reached out to me a few days back and I mentioned I hadn't heard from my brother because he & his wife have a brand new baby. Surely enough he called me today because the cousin has texted him and guilted him a bit

The family guilt tripping works wonders lol

The most spectacular hauntings of my investigating career did not happen in grand houses or ruined castles. They happened in Co-op shops, terraced rows backing onto railway lines. We find ghosts where we live. The everyday is spectre-soaked thing. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

rough therapy session today talking about family, trying to communicate your experiences, and being believed/not believed/gaslit. and then also being believed but dismissed, or having your conclusions identified as wrong.
