Never forget that this was utterly unnecessary.
Republicans run the White House, Senate, and HoR. Trump's Big Beautiful Bill provided enough funding to fully pay TSA agents through this shutdown. This is an act of dictatorial revenge and I implore you not to mistake that.

Fuck, I love writing banter for these idiots. My depression is cured and my skin is clear.

For all the lovelies who checked on me yesterday, here's an update so you don't worry!
I lost my cat of 20 years around the winter holidays, and I'm still dealing with her memory-ghosts. I got in a terrible car wreck that annihilated the front half of my car at Valentine's day.
#bleakspeaks
Writing updates!
Don't worry, all...the next chapter of The Devils is still coming. I just had a rough couple of months that made writing about death hard. SOON!
Furthermore...new chapter of Tithe the Hills on the way this weekend!
(Also - bookshop AU soon, maybe? 👀)

You know my favourite thing as a long-time folk horror fan is?
When something manages to scare the WILLIES out of me after all these years.
Yesterday I decided to put on an audio recording of some M.R. James to fall asleep.
Listened to The Wailing Well. Did not sleep.

Had a realization this morning - my drama school was so angry that I 'rocked the boat' by wanting to be marketed as male after I'd transitioned that they only cast me as villainous women in my VERY IMPORTANT showcase year.
Seriously? Fuck you guys. I'm glad you closed.
#bleakspeaks
This is so, so important to a very important member of our community. Please do them a solid and at least pass this on if nothing else.
#bleakspeaks
Remember: When Trump says his wife's vanity bribe film isn't selling because it's hard to sell tickets post-pandemic, indie horror film "Iron Lung" by beloved creator Mark Fischbach sold out so many showings that they had to seek wider distribution.
Just saying.

Got a new ring light with colour-changing options and played around a bit (yes, I know the cheek circles are just SLIGTLY off and yes, it drives me nuts 🤣). BUT! I kind of like the 50's cheesecake quality of it?

Watching a pack of ICE goons circling a prone man on his elbows & knees with his head tucked, darting in at him and jumping back - it's like watching starved coyotes on prey.
The way you can see some of them flee after the execution.
Craven. Bestial. Subhuman. Contemptible.

When I tell you I read all of "The Woods All Black" by @leemandelo.bsky.social in one day, understand what a high mark that is in this book's favour. A folk horror revenge tale set in an isolated Kentucky holler in 1929, it gives full throat to the beauty and power of trans rage.

This. This is the reaction I love to get when I dance. (Photos taken at our latest Disney Villains Burlesque show).
These two were great patrons who tipped well, were enthusiastic, and made us feel great to be on stage.

Please.
Please understand that most Americans are terrified. We want this to end as much as you do. We don't want Greenland. We don't want our neighbors to disappear. We're fighting, but we need HELP.

Hi, friendly neighborhood Bleak here DEMANDING THAT YOU READ THIS FIC AND MAKE SURE WE GET MORE OF IT. I'm in love with the plot they're setting up and the lore that's already seeded in. PLEASE show it love.

Well well, look at this fine and sexy collection of fantastic people who have made my year so incredibly special.

With my final fic post of the year done, it's time to look back. 2025 has been nothing but Hazbin and good times. I've met fantastic people and it was perhaps my most productive year ever. For a full list of fics, see below!

Guys... @persephoneblck.bsky.social gifted me with a beautifully hand-bound book containing four of my fics. When I say I'm floored? It doesn't even begin to cover it.
So much love went into making this...

The Emily/Abel/Peter ship should be called the Holycule.
I don't make the rules.

Hello all!
I got comments on Blood Prince & Two Princes yesterday stating they were 'abandoned' and what a tragedy it was.
First up, I'm so happy you love them both! Really I am, and I'm so happy people took time to leave comments to that effect. This isn't a call-out post!
#BleakSpeaks
The laziness of Trump supporters is unmatched.
I worked a Burlesque show last night. I drove two hours to dance with some of the best people in the world, then drove two hours home. I didn't get to sleep until 2am. This is on top of my 40 hour a week job.

Hey, all. It's come to my attention that someone used my story "The Changeling" to train an AI chatbot. Now, I'm not going to assume ill intent, here. Let me just say...I spend a lot of time and effort writing my stories.

Hey nerds.
I get a lot of folks aren't excited about the Homestuck news, but some of the responses I've seen are DISPROPORTIONATELY gross.
1. SA and death threats are never called for because you're mad about a cartoon.

Hey guys, if a BDSM project/event is literally banning/blocking/limiting actual BDSM practitioners and lifestyle-advocates, pleas do your research, speak to multiple sources, and I implore you to be wary of any information you're given by the people leading the project/event.

Hi, friends, followers, and ferals!
Just a quick note! No matter how much you like my work, please do not EVER tag any of the creators or VAs when referencing it. It's happened in the past and I just think it's healthier to foster art independent of our IP creators ❤️
#bleakspeaks
Here's the first week reminder! Everyone who's submitted a prompt is already in the hat. Remember that if you want to be entered into the giveaway, you need to have a prompt in by the 8/3 deadline!
