so #meltWIP is probably going to end up a november release at the earliest, as i am sick and it's cutting into my work time, but that's fine. this is why i didn't give it an official date. the ouchies.

i don't generally have inspo boards i'm drawing from while Making characters, but lestat is on one of the #meltWIP boys' retroactive inspo board and if it doesn't come across when it's published then i haven't made him annoying enough.

had it pointed out that #meltWIP having a cast list in the form of a company org chart would be both helpful and intensely comedic, and i have had. Such an idea for it.

Hector hooks his thumb through a belt loop on his jeans and runs his thumb along a copper rivet. Would that he were the one smoking, but he’s inside a fucking supermarket, taking a call from a man who’s barely spoken to him in, again, two months, and now that he’s decided to grace Hector with his presence of course it’s for fucking business. He breathes in like there’s a cigarette between his lips anyway, because there will be in twenty minutes, and breathes out the same way. “Sure, yeah. You want I should come by in an hour, hour and a half? I’m not far.”
new patreon post today, with—gasp—real substance! you get my babbling AND about 1k words of #meltWIP, wherein hector spirals in the supermarket and then it gets worse.
available for all paid tiers at $1+/month!

despite being one of the first things in the story timeline, this part's a long time off from sharing in full, though is awfully fun. for once: teenagers.

A collage of images in three colour stories: red, blue-green, and black-and-grey. In the center is the cover of MELT (refrain), a greyscale photo of a marble statue's fingers gripping a carved thigh, with strong chiaroscuro and overlaid with lurid red light. The images paint a picture of a dark urban fantasy focused on people and liminal spaces. Dialogue on the first image reads, "Listen, when you're born this way, you tend not to think much of it." Dialogue on the last image reads, "All I mean is it seems you have the worse end of the stick."
this #MonManMoodMon theme is BANNED, for no reason in particular.
my highlight is (shocker) MELT, a WIP that never made it to itch. we got trans vampires, power imbalances, autonomy issues, and sex that's not safe or sane or always consensual.
status updates go on patreon, for now. #meltWIP

The cover of MELT (refrain), a greyscale photo of a marble statue's fingers gripping a carved thigh, with strong chiaroscuro and overlaid with lurid red light. The title is in a bright white, edgy, industrial font with a decorative bloody fang dangling off the M. Left of the cover are featureless headshot silhouettes of two characters. Right of the cover is a Discord screenshot from Angel reading "SPORTS BRA MAKIN ME FEEL INSANE. BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK" with several typos.
time for a #HotWetPitStop!
this week, i tender my offering of:
🌙 portrait silhouettes
🌙 a cover reveal
🌙 angel's finest commentary
more of the polycule is in here than i'd expected.
also, if the sports bra eventually makes you, too, feel insane: you have to tell me.

A collage of nine images with three colour stories slowly blending together: red, blue-green, and black-and-grey. Overall, they paint a picture of a mysterious, suspenseful urban fantasy focused on people and liminal spaces. At the center bottom is the word "refrain" to match the title. The images are: Red: dripping icicles on an overhang cast in red light like bloody teeth; a night sky with two crescent moons in the center like closed eyes; a dark alleyway lit only at the edges of the entrance by bright red light. Blue-green: a streetlamp casting light on a dark corner of a road; abstract close-up of an eye with a grey pupil, wide iris, and a dark figure reflected in it. Black-and-grey: a dark space with thin industrial lights illuminating tiny portions of it; a dark silhouette of a person against a pale backdrop, with broad shoulders and pulled-back hair. Blended: a night shot of an ultramodern skyscraper framed by two classical-style buildings (specifically the Walkie Talkie in London); a shot glass on a white backdrop, with red liquid neatly poured in it, while a few drops of the same liquid sit to the side
🩸 MELT (refrain) 🩸
n. the burden of a song.
v. to hold back.
n, again. the burden of a man.
or: is it fine to rejoice in someone's immortality when he never wanted it in the first place?
🌙 #1 in a nonlinear series
🌙 M/M T4T
🌙 yeah it's vampires.

A collage of nine images in sets of three per colour story: red, blue-green, and black-and-grey. Dialogue on the first image reads, "Listen, when you're born this way, you tend not to think much of it." Dialogue on the last image reads, "All I mean is it seems you have the worse end of the stick." Red images: a marbled red background like stylised blood; a neon sign emulating a "zero likes" notification on social media; and a six-sided die. Blue-green images: a nightscape viewed through a hole in a chain-link fence; a long, fluorescent-lit hallway; and a rainy window. Black-and-grey images: a close-framed, barely-lit corner of a marble statue's face; another long, fluorescent-lit hallway, darker than the first; and a dark wall with indeterminate shadows of foliage cast along it.
admiration, adoration, isolation; and what to do with the layers between.
or: the homoerotic mess of vampirism, and being caught in an unspeakable tide.
T4T ft. that one trans guy you know who leaned hard into toxic masculinity, but it's kind of working for him.
