While sewing I've been musing about a book I'd been stuck writing for a decade and couldn't figure out why I was struggling. Literally told myself "I just wish the MCs were gay...I just don't wanna write straight characters anymore." It's taken a year to realize. I'm the writer. I can do that. 😐

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.

Like my first game was Sonic because I could play it with my dad, but I was never really interested in platformers beyond that one and I didn't start actively seeking games till after kingdom hearts

Kay @kayisdreaming.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Prooooobably Kingdom Hearts I think. Since that was my gateway into final fantasy and then rpgs. Which probably also led into my enjoyment of picking through parts of games to decipher or predict things, which is kinda funny considering.U know. Kingdom Hearts' reputation for being incomprehensible.

The fact that this is fun and scalable regardless of group size is really its big selling factor for me. I had as much fun with like three people getting lost as I did when the whole squad is together asking if one hundred ant sized horses or one horse sized ant is worse while solving puzzles

Cursed by con scanners. Every time I walk through (but not my sis with the same bag) it pings and they make me remove everything from my bag. Usually I'm used to it but this time it seems I lost my iPad pencil in the move. This fuckin sucks those are pricy and now I can't draw to waste time 😭

running around in circles because the job I applied to on a whim (I was not actively searching) has already scheduled a round 2 for next week. I'm not gonna presume but also like. will be really funny if my planned "I'm gonna take a break for a couple months" gets tossed completely to the side.

Kay @kayisdreaming.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Part of me accepts it because I know that it doesn't matter how useful you are, it all comes down to money and if your manager has enough of a voice. But the other part is like. Can you just put those details in the damn meeting invite. No one likes being surprised on video calls

160

Kay @kayisdreaming.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Nothing like, every time I get a nondescript message from someone on the management chain, I assume I'm getting laid off. I'd say that's probably the worst part of remote work. Assuming every meeting not related to it is my work saying "welp we don't wanna support that so bai"

I know it's way too early to have stuff already done for sticker trades for gateway fate but I'm of the idea of like. If I get it done fast and seal it then I won't keep adding things to it. ...so we'll see how effective that will be
