See British politicians aren't politicians in the traditional sense. They're stenographers for the US wearing different ties. So I'd love to know when we're getting the woke backlash.

I've always been kind of Nationalist-y (I don't want to divulge which country in the UK I'm from) but watching England shit the bed so thoroughly whilst we retain a semi-egalitarian approach to our society has made me pretty confident it's the right call.

Do people think I write erotica? No shade obviously but I keep sex scenes to a minimum whilst also acknowledging the reality that most adults who become vampires who cannot get pregnant and cannot get STIs would be far more libertine in their sexuality :L

My take on trans people in America voting for democrats? Basically, choose your opponent. Having evidence the country is lashing out against the right is a great way to convince people to stop appealing to right wingers. Or don't vote because you don't want to support transphobes. I'm not your mum.

When the bloated corpse of British fascism in the 21st century is dragged onto the slab and cut into with a judiciously sharpened scalpel by a pathologist in a hazmat suit, they will discover the rotted fistula between their heinous beliefs and the journalists who sanitized them.

We have to live in the country that the media has built around us, brick by brick, lie by lie. Extreme right-wingers smoothed over, made relatable, made funny and harmless; mildly left-wing people monstered. British media as it currently exists must end if this country is to be mended.

Man the active revisionism in my country is something to behold. I'm not going to do the satirist's canard of "I NeVeR ImAgInEd ThIs!" I did. I saw exactly this. Because it's happened before throughout history and will happen again. We exist in a Sisyphean nightmare.

I love how rather than the obvious conclusion that IQ doesn't measure intelligence isn't even on the table. The reason someone with an IQ of 200 (for argument) might be a loser is because IQ is wrong. It doesn't measure intelligence. It's just an indicator of your aptitude in taking IQ tests.

Actually pursuant to my thoughts just now, I don't see why entertaining people who are wrong is a virtue. I mean people who are divorced from reality. People who refuse to accept scientific fact. These people have already demonstrated that there is no evidence that will convince them.

I need to post more but engaging with social media is so draining. It taxes your patience. The main reason I don't have Threads or Insta or Tiktok is because Bsky is a left-of-centre (whatever that means) echo chamber and even people I agree with are kinda meh.

#LateNightWrite I just saw this and I keep not promoting my work so here it is, the second book in the Neturiad: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HBW315TX It's about one autistic elf's journey to become a vampire. Against her will! :D It's very happy and won't traumatise you at all. Just ask the first book.

Marcina forgot to spell check her ranting before posting it. She was so angry she got the motto of the Sanctan Empire wrong. Anyway, ENIM DEIATRIX ET GLORIA!
A message from Marcina Moridra Servilia reading:
It is perhaps often said that a vampire is chosen for their proximity to power rather than their aptitude to become one. None hold this dubious distinction more steadfastly than Sybil Moridra Vraeth. I have had the displeasure of dining with her whilst she was a guest at Her Majesty's residence. She is impertinent, lacks all social graces and her undeniable intellect is trained on fancies that gust and change with the wind. She impugned my work in pacifying the colonies and the darker techniques we must, by necessity, use to educate our unruly new acquisitions.

And who is she to question a minister of the crown? I, who employed butchery and banditry both to claw vampirisim from the jaws of our people's failures?

A clothier. An upstart elf woman dragged from the province of Silusa having squandered the fortunes of her birth in a fit of cowardice. What possessed Governor Renaud, a hero of the empire to sponsor such an irreverent, irreligious and simply irritating woman is beyond my ken. I suspect it has something to do with her distressingly close relationship with the woman. 

Her Majesty even saw fit to humble this wretch and still she bemoaned the gift bestowed on her unworthy hide.

People of Sancta this is not vampire material. This is a mockery of our most sacred traditions and the goddess herself. What will I say to my colonial governors when the trust and esteem afforded to them is casually given to elvish women of the correct lineage?

This must not stand. Sybil Moridra Vraeth, the abandoned scion of a noble house, must return to the shame she brought upon herself.

Enim Deiatrix Et Gloria

One of the most fun elements of writing this series is slipping little hints about the ultimate antagonist of the whole thing. I was inspired by the structure of the original Dracula which takes place as a series of journal entries, diaries and so forth. #WritingCommunity

It's something I noticed with a lot of the book reviewers on Tiktok. They'll name a trope then act like naming the trope is, in and of itself, a criticism. Tropes are tools not blemishes.

I don't know how people can write a book that comes in at under 100K words and at this point I'm too afraid to try writing something that brief. Even the mushroom alien book is 150K words long. Ish.

Alright. Erotica book set in the world of the Neturiad is fucking chalked. I hate everything about what I wrote. Anyone want a prequel storying how Gyda became an Ordo Imperatrix or do they want to meet Marcina (Minister of Colonial Affairs) in her natural habitat?

I reckon I'm going bald. It's not the worst thing happening in the world but on a personal level it's sort of breaking the last dregs of resolve I have. Which was impressive because I thought the funk that wrote TMM was going to be how miserable I could get.

I forgot the name of my own joke character for writing satire on the internet. She's even got lore now. Regarded as the most evil woman in the Sanctan Empire even by her own people. Though they frame it as "harsh but fair". You know, the old contradictory statement?
