Beshear really has been a light in the darkness on trans issues. He's not perfect, but he's been remarkably consistent on telling other Dems that they need to continue standing up for us. It makes me wonder if he has a trans person in his life.

Medusa but her hair is an anaconda

Medusa with a single anaconda for hair. She wears a grey chiton and stubbornly strides to the left, dragging the heavy snake, which trails sullenly along behind

Medusa with a single anaconda for hair. It is completely coiled around her, leaving only her angry yellow eyes visible, and a single hand lifted to flip off the world

sometimes fantasy authors come up with the concept "there are things older than history and prehistory.. otherworldly things the human mind cant comprehend" and for Lovecraft that means "monster so freaky it drives you insane" and for Tolkien it means "some guy named Tom with an extremely fine wife"

One of the chief joys of writing Pherul is his love for SFFH genre media: he views his supernatural journey through the lens of familiar fiction. This time, though, he failed to note his own famous last words 😂 books2read.com/book-Erosion mcburnell.itch.io/erosion

Text reads: It didn't make sense to make a list of things he wasn't willing to die for, but desecrating a body 'in the name of science' (to make a rich guy richer) would have been toward the top of it. He was grateful it was no longer his problem.

THE THIRD LOVE x THE NAMES After a sudden rebirth, Max wishes for an easy, love-filled life, ignoring the claim that his affection is cursed. As he avoids work & devotes himself to his beloved, de*th finds his loved ones. Max must decide if life is still worth living. #SEAsianPit #Q #A #Spec #F #LF

In the background, spanning all four images, is commissioned art of post-reincarnation Mac in ancient robes, reaching for a reflection of his pre-reincarnation self in modern-day clothes. Paper falls around them, and a red ribbon swirls behind them.
The text in this first image reads: Years of Red Tears, 100,000 words literary speculative novel.
David Copperfield meets time travel C-dramas. Spontaneously reborn as an ancient noble, MAX wishes for all the wealth and love he never had despite high familial expectations and a curse to kill others with his affection. He'll do anything for his ideal life, even if it means marrying a stranger and becoming the next foreign minister. But when death won't stop knocking, he must decide if life is still worth living without someone to live for. Otherwise, the familiar yearning for death may be his greatest calling.

Themes & Tropes
- mixed-Asian character and LGBTQIA+ rep
- East Asian history and fairytales inspo
- sentient nature
- family trauma leading to self-doubts
- modern-day man vs. traditional values
- loser then vs. overly popular now
- love vs. obligation
- undying trust vs. expected betrayal
- chance meetings and destined partings
- timeless societal and familial pressures
- pen pals and soulmates
- sentimental and indecisive man surrounded by women who know what they want

In the bottom corner is smaller character art reincarnated Max holding a book and looking at his past self.
The text reads: Excerpt
When we met, I thought I was hallucinating. That the cumulation of all my make-believe was a mental breakdown. When I found that we were intrinsically tied, I couldn't wish for anything more. That was where I was wrong. The spirits abound reminded me that I am bound to every flower I touch. Because you are not a flower of this world, rather a floating cloud, I can never reach you. You can never entwine with me.
With all that has transpired, I remain a boy who wants to live for myself and die for love.
An impossible, otherworldly love. ___, I dare ponder if you asked about my past since you
cannot fully shed yours either. We have gone through so many names before landing on our current ones. Let's not squander them reviving old vices.

In the bottom corner is smaller character art pre-reincarnated Max holding flowers and looking at his future self.

The text reads: Comps
David Copperfield
- Turbulent coming of age
- Overreliance on love and marriage
- Search for home and found family
- The corruption of status and wealth

The Third Love
- Endless pursuit of love
- Questioning of societal norms
- Caught between different lives
- Bitter aftermath of a doomed relationship

The Names
- Contemplation of choices not taken
- A life cut short
- Fear of becoming one's parent
- The weight of a name/title

Talk with your vet. It could be as simple as his joints needing a anti-inflammatory or something simple for arthritis. it may just be that he prefers the indoors now. He may be slowing down, but you could very well still have years to go. Change is inevitable, but it isn't a bad sign. Love the baby

green and white striped background, with a clipboard at the center of the page. the text on the clipboard reads: James cleared this throat. “I’ve got something fun,” he said and waved the rolled up map at Daniel.

Daniel kept his eyes down. “Oh yeah?”

“Whatcha doing there?” James asked, his own interesting thing forgotten. Daniel’s thing was more important, obviously.

“Chore list,” Daniel said and waved the pen over the clipboard.
James sighed. That wasn’t fun at all. He unrolled the map and dangled it in front of Daniel, sure to get his attention this time.

“What’s that?” Daniel asked, finally turning to James. “A map?”

“Not just any map. The princess’s map,” James said.

“The…princess?” Daniel obviously wasn’t following.

green and white striped background, with a clipboard at the center of the page. the text on the clipboard reads: James sighed. “Did they bring her belongings yet?”

Daniel said, “Oh, that big chest was her belongings? It’s in one of the spare rooms now. I figured it was something from the palace for you.”

“Keep up, Psy. That chest belongs to the princess, as does this map.” James wagged the map in front of Daniel.

Daniel shook James off. “Okay, but why?”

“You hear she’s missing? Well, we’ve been hired to find her. And this map is going to lead us right to her,” James said, beaming. His chest puffed out just a bit and he laid his hands on his hips.

“Oh, was that the confidential job at the palace? Interesting…” Daniel said. He turned back to the clipboard.

There is an illustrated shopping list on a wooden surface, weighed down by flowers and two golden paperweights that are decorated with a phoenix and a dragon. The list reads: MAX'S POST-REINCARNATION SHOPPING LIST. MIRROR: remember, you're young again now, and chill out! GLASS BOTTLE: because teens deserve a drink (of milk) too. SCENT POUCH: for that fruity touch. damn you puberty 2.0!!! MORE PAPER: when you ramble & can't spell but ink is unforgiviniing... PRESSED FLOWER BOOKMARK:

John's black and blue rotoscoped character art, smiling maliciously, is opposite.

The world is healing. Why not her? Excerpt from Book 1 of Amniland, still a WIP. #darkfantasy #animalfantasy #booksky #writing

As Mel walked away, she stopped in her tracks, her gaze turning to the other toons in the park. They were having fun, talking and yelling and laughing. Some hugged, others kissed. Some rode attractions or played games, others ate treats. For a brief moment, a smile made its way on the hare's face. There once was a time when such things did not exist. When smiles were scarce; when screams muffled laughs. They had gone through so much, and yet there they were, acting as if it had all been just a bad dream.

Why can't I do the same?
