all the links still work after the fact, which is especially cool for jams! DCS gave me the idea for this post for a different reason, but now i'm thinking i'll make it a habit cause it's nice to have themed projects together in a post :D and nicer to share than a bundle that can't be bought anymore

i know these readers are out there and as curious as ever; i keep in touch with many. niche creators will never find peace if they only go for platforms boasting big built-in audience numbers and expecting THAT to just do the work for them while lamenting how shitty the audience is. #creator_txt

🍂 Femboy Fall character spotlight 🎃 THIS GUY MADE ME INSANE. beautiful. sassy. masochistic as fuck. i think about him every day now. i'm so normal. i'm so fine. 10/10, M/M, content warning/yes. 🔞 read the illustrated short: asterv.itch.io/blood-gold 🍁 or grab our bundle: itch.io/b/3906/-femb...

Promotional graphic of Marius from Blood & Gold with text underneath reading: "Safe" and "sane" has a tendency to fly out the window with Marius, a high-end escort and masochist with a femme fatale-type charm. Danger lurks when romancing a big tough gangster guy... and in Blood & Gold! (And, hey, much like Marius, this is what we want.)

Everyone's here! Been thinking a lot about the connections between these 5 and how they're going to change in Part 2 and what reveals and snit-bits of the past we're gonna get. Exciting stuff! Can't wait for Fox and Hy to kill each other and Rose has to watch or whatever! 🎉🔥💕

how THAT scene should've gone #AbsurdTheatre (spoilers)

Black-and-white 3-panel comic labeled "The Alternate Theatre of Ayumu Kuroaki #2". Eric and Ayumu are having a magic fencing moment of crossing blades, surrounded by spirit butterflies.

Panel 1:
Eric, angry: "Then stop it! Just be Ayumu! Just be my annoying, exhausting, selfish, suicidal, attention-whoring friend and TALK to me!"

Panel 2:
Ayumu, scoffing: "You still want to talk? Find a solution? For a jolly life, a happily ever after?"

Panel 3:
Ayumu, leaning into Eric's personal space, blushing: "Maybe if you also call me your pretty little slut?"
Eric, visibly done with his shit: "Ayumu."

vert ⚡️🪶 MELT: REFRAIN OUT NOW @subvertebra.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

MELT: REFRAIN: A 🔞 queer trans horror novel about toxic corporate vampires in love, and other four-letter words. One part Gothic, one part psychological torment; all sex and death. Everything changes for the worst all the time. What are you going to do about it? Available now on Itch & Payhip. 🪦🕊️

Promo image with the cover of MELT: REFRAIN and extra info. It says: a queer trans corporate Gothic horror novel. Non-linear, multi-POV, first in a series.

The cover illustration features two characters, one in bright red, one in dark teal. The man in red is disheveled and smoking, eyes obscured in shadow, and the man in teal is behind him, mostly obscured and dangling a lowball glass over the first man's shoulder. Smoke drifts up from the cigarette, partially obscuring both their faces. The backdrop is black and dark red, and is textured a little like viscera. The title text has a similar texture and is outline in neon red.

Excerpt from MELT: REFRAIN.

If Simon hadn’t been so desperate already, Hector really would bite him open, drink him half-dry and make him woozy and pliant. But Simon’s saucer-wide pupils and laser focus on the red pooling on Hector’s chin and seeping into his beard belie his composure. It’s not like Hector’s ever been turned—no doubt something out there could mold a vampire into something else, though he’d rather not dwell on the possibility—but he’s got the gist over the years, how it eats and eats and eats at someone if they don’t get what they need. Born vampires have it bad enough already; what exquisite agony something even worse must be, the basest parts of oneself parched and undeniable.

Available now on Itch.io and Payhip.
