ONE DAY LEFT TO RELEASE I know I haven't been around much lately but! Book 3 drops TOMORROW!!! You can get it from all the usual book places, which you should bc it's got a werewolf in it and maybe possibly dragons. books2read.com/souls... #BookSky 🩵📚 📢📚

A graphic for Souls of the Dragons by TC Smith, featuring a green background of a lake and starry night sky. A mock-up of the book can be seen in the centre. The cover is of a green night sky and features a dragon with outstretched wings with the title in orange text above it. Text above and below the cover reads "1 day to release, book 3 drops September 24th"

A snippet from Souls of the Dragons by TC Smith with the same background as the previous graphic. The snippet itself is highlighted by a lopsided rectangle of paper. Text reads:
“I’m not staring.” Red Wolf batted his hand away, but he found himself focusing once more on the sparkling gems and beads in Talin’s hair, and the silk gown that seemed to swish gently every time she moved. She was exquisite tonight.
“What do you call it, then?”
“Respectfully…looking?”
Ettrias snorted. “Just admit you’re staring and we can move on.”

Fix your hearts or die. You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? This year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda. We are human beings. You cannot erase us. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The frame in question is green and shows a chain going around as a decorative element. That chain is broken by the knight's raised sword. From the knight's chest bursts a roaring flame in the colours of the trans pride flag.

they're right and they should say it

Tumblr post from user epicsause-official:

"i think we are long overdue for a game that does the reverse of 90s first person shooters and actively makes fun of the player for picking the hard difficulty"

Below that is an image that says SELECT DIFFICULTY and below are three options like you might see in the original Doom. In order they are:

"I'm compensating for my complete lack of a social life" (Harder enemies, less useful pickups)

"Alright, let's see what this is all about!"
(Recommended for first playthrough)

"Sorry, I'm too busy PLOWING my GIRLFRIEND to play this game!"
(More items, you kill enemies faster)

On the beach of a exoplanet, my oc the Duchess Lovihai in a long dress and heart shaped sunglasses-- pushed up to her forhead-- is leaning over a bar counter and recieving a drink. She adjusts her sun hat to say thanks to the bartender.

The ocean tide rolls in, a sailboat races by; birds fly over the water and in the background is a large moon at waning gibbous.

A large reclining tree dragon sculpture. Its skin is made of brown tree bark and it's back is covered in green moss. There are leaves on the head and tail tip. It lays on a bed of grass with ferns in the background.

A photo of a pair skeleton dragon figures facing each other. One is tinted purple and the other bright green. Each is sitting with one wing folded and one balanced on the ground. The have bright yellow eyes and toothy grins. There are black and purple leaves in the background.
