I’m working on Furies, a kinky T4T lesbian romance with mechs. It is the earliest story I currently intend to write in my mecha focused Sci-fi setting. I am also modeling some of the mounts from the story. #queerwriters #LGBTQWriteAThon

The GDY-001a Clem, is a quadrupedal featherweight mech armed with a class 5 main gun packing both solid slugs, and grapeshot which is mounted in a dorsal turret as its sole armament. The turret has 360 degree traverse, taking advantage of the mount’s speed to put shots into enemy machines on the move. However the mechs light weight and compact form factor mean that repetitive fire can stress and damage the chassis if the mech is not properly braced, a maneuver that Clem pilots call the ‘play bow’, a reference to the nickname given to the machine—the Chihuahua of War.

The humble Hoplite is one of the most bare bones, minimalist designs ever created. Though it was conceived as an engineering exercise into the feasibility of producing mecha by a company better known for AgTech, the Hoplite would ventually become one of the best selling mounts in the Near Earth Sphere thanks to its focused, minimalist design, rugged reliability, ease of maintenance, and above all its price. A new build Hoplite will set the buyer back ₩1.3 million, and used models, especially of the more lightly armed variants, can be had for as little as ₩500,000. The base model, the PCH-55-6 features an oblong, egg shaped body, the thin armor covers a sturdy internal frame, with thicker armor protecting the fusion engine, the lower part of the cockpit, and the canopy. The vernier system gives it a bit more terrestrial maneuverability, and some variants are equipped for space combat. One rotary, and one light particle cannon are the only concessions made to ‘advanced’ systems.

The SHG-042 Cossack is a bantam weight terrestrial skirmisher with an incomplete lore file.

Howdy all, I’m June Dearheart, and I write horny stuff about robots and elves to justify my world building habit. My goals for this month are to finish the second chunk of my WIP and to organize my notes enough to create a lore primer. #LGBTQWriteAThon #queerwriters #writingcommunity #LGBTQWriters

I’m kinda back. Life has been absolutely insane for the past year, and I had more important things to focus on than Social Media. So, quick update for those of you that like my work—I am still hacking at stuff, but I’ve been pretty well stalled since the spring when I lost the woman who raised me.

Right back on my WIP bullshit with a GDY-001a Clem by legacy arms company General Dynamics, better known to its pilots as The Chihuahua of War. The Clem represents the first steps into mecha production by the Imperium Iunctus Civitas, which had lagged behind the other Terran empires until that point

GallowsGal @gallowsgal.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I finished up my lil egg of rage! The PCH-55-6 Hoplite was conceived as the cheapest, most bare bones sniper mech that Parsons City Heavy Machinery could build. The thin, oblong armor covers a sturdy internal frame, with thicker armor protecting the the most important areas.

GallowsGal @gallowsgal.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I have started modeling my own designs. The is a Parsons City Heavy Machinery PCH-55-6 Hoplite.

GallowsGal @gallowsgal.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

@tobi-catsith.bsky.social’s Mad Dog is complete! This model is gonna print in 5 pieces and I will be sending her a fully painted one doing an alpha strike as well as enough parts to build two or three versions of the same model.

060

GallowsGal @gallowsgal.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

So this Mad Dog is taking a risky jump, and is eventually gonna be making an alpha strike. The goal is to have printable effects for all three of the primary weapons systems in addition to the mech itself, and the jump plume, which is hollowed so I can counterweight it.

GallowsGal @gallowsgal.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

I finished the nova cat…I think I am gonna completely re-do her. Not until after I finish the rest of the Star though! Up next is my the Vulture type PT, for my sweetheart @tobi-catsith.bsky.social.

Fresh off the GPU—a RAC/5 drive motor with integrated heat sink. It only took 4 tries and two hours of tweaking the final product but I am fairly happy with it. I am excited to paint this.

020

GallowsGal @gallowsgal.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

So I caved and started learning blender. My first serious WIP is the Nova Cat type gg, a custom loadout for my lovely ladyfriend @ggfallenstar.bsky.social. She packs twin ER PPCs and a RAC/5, as well as Ferro Fibrous armor to free up some weight for the 5 tons of ammunition needed to feed the RAC

In today’s episode of ‘What the fuck are you talking about?’ My insurance company is trying to duck out of paying for my hospitalization because apparently having a drug resistant staph infection is not serious enough to warrant being admitted. Moreover, they have denied my second stint…for sepsis.

GallowsGal @gallowsgal.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

I am fresh outta the hospital and I’m supposed to be resting as much as I can, so I think this is gonna be a low output week. Health issues have had me on the back foot for months, but I am gonna get shit done. I wanna finish the set-up for the honor duel between Ket and Fallon. #queerwriters.

Do. Not. Hassle. The. Hunchback.

Sister Jeanne is a hell of a machine, built from what was left of Cpt. Guthrie’s family Hunchback after her duel with Mama Bear. She packs a custom endo-steel frame, and a Great Father 210xl engine snagged from a slagged Puma. Firepower is provided by 2 Lb-x AC/5s, and a pair of ERMLs in the Hunch, another ERML on the head, and 2 ERSLs mounted to each arm. Salvaged clan double heatsinks keep her running cool and a quartet of jump jets give her the mobility necessary to match the rest of the command lance.

The Alpha Strike card for Sister Jeanne.

Got out Saturday, back in this afternoon. I’m doing my best to stay positive but I am scared as fuck.

GallowsGal @gallowsgal.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Hopefully I am getting out of here today. I am gonna need some time to recover from the amount of insane antibiotics I had to take and re-establish some kind of equilibrium on my meds, which I have have been off since Tuesday. Not having to cook would be a godsend. Any help would be appreciated.

GallowsGal @gallowsgal.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

It is cool, and rainy too. Today is gonna be a good day.

GallowsGal @gallowsgal.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

The swelling is almost completely resolved. I have been crying for twenty minutes. I don’t think I had another day of this shit in me. I feel more tired than I have ever been, I’m physically weak, and my whole body aches, but I don’t feel like I am about to puke and faint for the first time in weeks

010

GallowsGal @gallowsgal.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Thanks for doing this hun. You are a peach. Quick update: Things are looking up, and they hope to have me out of here by tomorrow night, but I am gonna be on bed rest for a while to recover from the toll the antibiotics are taking on me.

GallowsGal @gallowsgal.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

They think I will be out of here by tomorrow night.

GallowsGal @gallowsgal.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Yeah, so I am pretty fucked up. I have had a soft tissue infection for three weeks that isn’t responding to oral antibiotics, so I am currently curled up on a gurney, getting pumped full of a gay bar stiff cocktail of IV antibiotics. Idk how long I’m here, but I could use some cash to cover food.

Back in the ER. Been in the lobby for 3 hours. Kinda wanna scream

So I started adding details to my Clanbuster merc company’s mechs and now I cannot stop. These two are both armed to the teeth with stolen clantech and loaded for Ghost Bear. They are custom load outs. The Kodiak on the left is Mama Bear, and the UrbanMech on the right is called Gat Can.

A magenta and purple Kodiak that has been through one hell of a deployment.

A flying trashcan of death aka UrbanMech that was at one point painted in magenta and purple.

Haven’t done one of these in a hot minute! It started rough as hell but it got way better. I set out to rest and recover, and ended up finishing a couple song rewrites and did some recording. I also finished a poem for my ladyfriends and did a recording of it for them. I’m calling it a good week.

Update, antibiotics are working a bit, and they gave me some ass kickin NSAIDs. I’m still not 100% but I got some music recorded, and spent some time with my girlfriends. Things are currently looking up.
