vert ⚡️🪶 MELT: REFRAIN OUT NOW @subvertebra.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

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.

Working my way through the ships of the Eridani system today. The belt dwellers refer to their home as "The Reef", so many of the ships get a bit of Expanse-meets-marine life vibe. Marauding Nomad clans get a little sharky, while the biomechanical Shell & their Samudari vassals are, well, shells.

Not quite a drawover but I saw this very funny interaction of me and @melshardae.bsky.social in one of Owen's TealCon pics and had to recreate it.

King Birb and Melshardae (as a pink otter) sitting on a couch. King Birb is aggressively leaning into Otter Mel's space, clearly very intense about whatever they're speaking of. Otter Mel seems uncomfortable or disinterested with being spoken at.

With Control coming out, I'm remembering back then when I made hairpins based on Jesse's director suit. Kind of my first run at making jewelry-esque things. I learned a lot from it, and was happy with the second run with real gold plating. This is a photo and not a mock up btw LOL

Top text reads, "Visit six different 'locales' for expansion-specific stationery to write a commemorative message from your WoL to an NPC or fellow WoL of your choice! Read others' messages for a glimpse into the diverse world of FFXIV's players!"

Center text lists participating artists and table numbers:

Heavensward - Kezzako (Table 305)
Stormblood - Dune (Table 301)
Shadowbringers - endy (Table 303)
