I wish I could give everyone a big hug right now :( fuck censorship and conservatism. I don’t make money from that platform, but it was going to be my gateway to getting my art out there. I’m angry as hell with you all. I will be following along with y’all and supporting you whenever you go next.

Here’s some of the “hot” I’ve gotten to in the WIP so far! Much more and much worse (/pos) to come… #hotwetqueersummer #hotwetqa

The background image shows a black and white image of the dark sea. The title reads "#HOTWETQA". The exerpt underneath reads
"Ezra didn’t think it would ever be close enough. He wanted to live inside August, he never wanted to be apart from him. The moment he was away from him, he missed him. He wanted to melt their skin together until they couldn’t tell who was who. He wanted August to fuck him, he wanted him to be the first person inside him. He hoped he would be the only one ever inside him.
“Please,” Ezra moaned.
“Please, what?” August breathed the words into the curve of his jaw.
“More, please more,” Ezra whined.
August sucked a hickey where his lips were pressed and Ezra squirmed underneath him. “I can give you more,” he said."

#hotwetpitch #hotwetqueersummer #a #r #e #wip 🌊 DE LA MAR, CON AMOR 🌊 Presenting my project for the #HWQS Jam! This is very close to my heart: a mix of Nicaraguan culture with low fantasy and magic, with mermaids and more! An adult romance erotica low fantasy novel(?) coming soon!

A promotional piece for #HotWetPitch displaying a painted beach and ocean, overlaid with a pixelated book cover. De La Mar, Con Amor sits beside it, and a box overlaid on the beach portion states the following: Xionel's grandmother is dead.
In her will she leaves him everything from her home, her wealth, and makes a final plea to him: return to Nicaragua. The one place, in all his travels as a nature photographer, he never had the heart to return to. Xionel makes the decision to go, called by the ache of missing a home and culture he's never known but always loved, and finds the roots his grandmother buried go deeper than he could ever have imagined."

The same beach and sea painting overlaid with the same book with its pixelated cover saying Work In Progress, now centered, with tropes surrounding it. It includes, from left top and counter clockwise to the right, BIPOC trans MC x Cis(?) mermain LI, latin inspired witchcraft & mythos, mermaids & shapeshifters, hot ritual sex, finding your place & identity, family magic, queer rep, and finally: m/m romance.

Vid Tuesday 🦇 Lifting Waits publishes soon @vidtuesday.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

It's #HotWetPitch day! Lifting Waits is my first illustrated novelette in a setting I've spent years creating. A modern setting full of fantasy elements, centering grown ass adults. I'll be posting little updates all summer~ Here's a sketch of our leads, and a synopsis 💖 #r #WIP

Black and white line sketch. A musclebound elf carrying a to-go coffee tray, placing their free hand on the back of a shorter, thin hobgoblin, who seems pleasantly surprised. The elf, Rowen, is wearing a tanktop that exposes the straps of their sports bra, and impossibly short retro piped shorts. The hobgoblin, Melody, is dressed in a rumpled button up and cardigan, carrying a large messenger bag. Above them is the title, Lifting Waits

Text overlaid on a photo of a dense urban environment:

Billionaires are extinct and monsters are real

Rowen is a soft, musclebound elf pining for the love of their life, Melody: a scatterbrained hobgoblin witch they knew nearly 15 years ago. Melody finds them just as the same forces that tore them apart the first time rear their ugly heads. With a record heat wave raising tensions in the city, can the lovers quench the flames long enough for cooler heads to prevail?

Lifting Waits is an illustrated novella of things worth waiting for, and people worth fighting for.

Nonmonagamous sapphic monsterfucking
Honest to god adult fiction, protagonists are 40+ years old
Fighting borders and fighting the rich
T4T
Urban romantasy raised on martial arts movies

It’s #hotwetpitch day! I’m so excited to share more about my project for #hotwetqueersummer Ezra and August have taken up so much real estate in my brain, I hope y’all will love them as much as I do. Thank you so much @monstermanorbooks for hosting this and for all your support!

Image of a red moon above the dark sea. Title reads “Drag Me Under #hotwetpitch”. Under that the text reads, “Ezra’s whole world changes when his cheating boyfriend washes up dead on the beach. Not that he cares. Everyone thinks a shark did it, but Ezra isn’t so sure. He begins spending more time with August, a boy he used to love who he thought wanted nothing to do with him anymore. Something has changed in August, and Ezra can feel himself being dragged into his orbit. Drag Me Under is queer horror romance with a hefty dose of erotica”.

Background of a red moon above a dark sea. Title reads “Drag Me Under as Tropes”. In the center of the image is a painting of a person jumping out of the waves to try to catch a flying fish. The trope map around it reads “trans masc mc x cis male LI, sirens, seaside horror, omg they were roommates, ambiguous ending, cannibalism as a metaphor for devotion, this is a terrible idea (they’re going to do it anyway), angst and yearning”.

Background of a red moon above a dark sea. Title reads “Drag Me Under as Unhinged AO3 tags”. Underneath are various AO3 tags from the account @ao3struggles.bsky.social reading, “I’ll have you know my characters plot armor works in reverse and actively ruins their lives”, “fellas is it gay to transform and then fuck your roommate”, “‘cannibalism as a metaphor for love’ what if im just really hungry. then what”, “they’re not exes they’re something worse”, “You have no idea how much I love these motherfuckers and want to traumatize them even further”, “Consensual But It Shouldn’t Be”, and “a lot going on and none of it is healthy”.

Background of a red moon above a dark sea. Title reads “Drag Me Under as songs from my writing playlist”. Underneath the song titles read “Crush by Ethel Cain, The Offering by Sleep Token, It Will Come Back by Hozier, Pearl Diver by Mitski, DNA Guarantee by Kodi Rhianne, Will You Love Me When I’m Dead by Amira Elfeky, In My Room by Julia Wolf, and Outside by breakk.away”.

🍁 fox god x lantern spirit 🍁 melancholic folkloric fantasy 🍁 m x transmasc 🍁 lots of thoughts about death 🍁 #R #F #WIP #hotwetpitch #hotwetqueersummer LAMBENT is a melancholic folkloric “romance” where everyone is sad, dead, and trying their hardest to make the best of what Fate has dealt them.

Pocket Pitch graphic for my book LAMBENT. Shows a cover in neutral browns and gold tones with a golden lantern at the center.
Text reads: "-a depressed fox god is too lonely to function, -a wandering lantern spirit struggles to adjust to being dead and aimless, -why is Fate’s representative so hellbent on pushing them together?

A fox god x lantern spirit “romance” where everyone is sad, dead, and just trying their hardest to make the best of what Fate has dealt them."

A moodboard in earthen tones with a misty forest, fox fur, botanticals, water, a hand holding a lantern, a central golden lantern, a shrine, a skull, and two hands reaching for one another. Gold filigree surround the graphics and between is the hashtag #hotwetqueersummer and @tdcloud.bsky.social.
