Imagine looking at the media landscape—music, books, movies—and concluding that it would be better if it were all simply infinite reflections of yourself, if you never had to be exposed to another personality, another experience, another life. Just you, you, you. Sounds fucking horrifying.

We play a game called "cat or gargoyle" in my apartment all the time. I always thought I needed a castle to get a gargoyle, but I lucked out....

A golden brown siberian cat is lying on top of a French door. He is ready to swoop down and devour peasants who trespass on his domain.

Aftertaste by Emoria Weidner
Q/A WITH THE AUTHOR!

OCTOBER 25, 2026 @100 PM
SOUTH BAY LEBT CENTER
RSVP LINK IN BIO

Meet the Author!!
Emoria Weidner is an author as well as a theatre professional and teacher. She worked at mainly one theatre for fifteen years, atraid of coming out as trans because of the fear that it would hurt her acting and teaching career.
Coming out in 202l as nonbinary, and more truly in 2025 as c woman both hurt her acting and teaching careers. She was right. And it doesn't fucking matter, because she would have been happier if she came out sooner. Bowing to accommodate people who cannot see you means scraping your face against the ground. Eventually, you start to lose your face.
Attertaste is her first novel. It you would like to support her work and help her continue writing, please consider visiting www.patreon.com/emoriaweidner and becoming a patron, where new chapters of upcoming novels will be posted regularly.

Summary
The novel takes place in a magical-realist world where Yuri (lesbian), Yaoi (gay men), and Hetslop (hetslop) are not genres of fiction, but drinkable hallucinogens. When you want to have a delightful evening, a glass of yuri will deliver a unique fantasy directly to your imagination, determined by the vintage you choose to imbibe. And Simon? Well, despite being a 24 year-old man, Simon drinks a LOT of yuri. He just thinks it tastes better than hetslop or yaoi, you know? It doesn't mean anything that his preferred fantasies are of lesbians. Obviously. Couldn't mean anything else. About his gender. Or anything like that. Sure, Simon got a job as a server at a yuri bar, but that's just because it was convenient. Nothing to read into there. At all. Then, one night, a very intimidating Woman arrives at the bar and orders the most toxic drink on the menu. Before Simon knows what is happening, he finds himself serving Her in more ways than he could ever have imagined. And She has plans for him. And does it seem like her eyes are literally on fire? And are those fangs???
Not that Simon would be into that, or whatever. Obviously not.
Being made to serve a Powerful, Scary, potentially Monstrous Woman? Definitely not something he'd ever fantasized about.
Definitely not the subject of yuri after yuri he drank alone, nightly, after each shift. No. Simon doesn't want this. Obviously. It's not Like he's a girl or anything.
19 Chapters, 112,000 words (print edition is
352 pages single spaced at 1lpoint font)
No audiobook.

Content Warnings
• Aftertaste is a novel only suitable for mature readers. It contains dissociation, gaslighting, violence, death, murder, gore, body horror, explicit sex, mild domestic violence, some BDSM, and a fantasy equivalent of alcohol/drug consumption and abuse.
• There are several passages where the idea of how much consent the lead character is capable of in their situation is intentionally muddy. This dubious consent is addressed as such later in the book, when the character understands the situation better.
• Sexual assault and rape are mentioned and discussed.
There is a scene where rape is threatened, but does not occur. This scene still qualifies as a sexual assault, however.
• The concept of forced-feminization, and what it might mean for people who fantasize about it, is explored regularly.
• Suicidal ideation, and a story about a suicide in the past, occur brietly.
• Dysphoria, internalized transphobia, and external transphobia are core motifs of the book and are present in every chapter. This is a story about surviving these things, but please use caution if reading the struggle of a young trans character finding themself through a lot of uncertainty is triggering for you.
• There is a detailed, chapter-by-chapter breakdown of the individual content in the back of the book and online.
• Love yourself, love your boundaries, and take breaks from the book if sections are hurting too much.

Earlier this year I was part of a photoshoot for Pride Month, queerfriendships.com, with my incredible friend Tracey. Today we got a couple more photos from the shoot. This was such an amazing experience and i'm loving the joy and beauty in these photos!!

"Emoria has created something absolutely iconic within the world of trans+ literature. It's a dark, sometimes-triggering, beautiful, and ultimately life-affirming piece of art." - @setna1312.northsky.social Read the first couple of chapters free on Kindle: www.amazon.com/Aftertaste-T... #booksky

While a hugely difficult read at times due to the content, Emoria has created something absolutely iconic within the world of trans+ literature. It's a dark, sometimes-triggering, beautiful, and ultimately life-affirming piece of art.

It's a book by a woman who has a gift for sharing the hardest of experiences - the daily traumas of being trans today - while still demonstrating hope.

Absolutely beautiful.

my housemate thinks i’m in my villain phase and that i need some henchwomen to do my bidding... Any takers? I only require a little bit of kneeling at my feet and telling me how beautiful I am. The job pays in the occasional affection of your fae queen :3

Jaye wearing a diamond pattern top, red eyeshadow, with diamonds and teardrops under faer eyes. “Burnt oxblood” lipstick and lipliner exaggerating lines out from the corners of her lips. Very jester look.

Jaye’s face tilted up a little. Brown sleeveless top. Metallic green lips, dark green eye shadow, spirals branching from spiral in the corners of her eye. Forest witch?

Jaye, black lips, blue eyeshadow, white eyeliner in sweeping loops reminiscent of butterdly wings or a cold wind. Giving Ice Queen.

Jaye sporting metallic blue lips, and purple and silver eyeshadow. The purple streaks down in lines evoking tear tracks, lightning, corruption. Not sure what this look is giving, fallen queen?

Alt text added for accessibility. ❤️

Three-panel meme from Star Trek: Voyager of Captain Janeway and Seven of Nine talking in the Captain's ready room.

Panel 1: Janeway leans forward in her chair, knowingly. She says, "You'll never guess what's on this PADD."

Panel 2: Seven, standing, turns her head to the side. "More Cloud x Luigi smut, Captain?"

This is Cloud from Final Fantasy 7 and Luigi from the Super Mario Bros franchise.

Panel 3: Janeway, now leaning back in her chair with a metal coffee mug in one hand, has the expression of a teacher explaining a topic to a student. "Sephiroth x Mario. But close enough. Good job."

This would be Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7 and Mario from the Super Mario Bros franchise.

The fact that this is blowing up a bit it's just another reminder that we don't celebrate ourselves enough. This is a simple message, it should be obvious: be nice to your self. And yet, for our community? It needs to be said because so many of us aren't.
