I've always been loved how burlesque dresses transform piece by piece into a completely different outfit and am excited I finally drew it out! Let me know which one is your favorite (I'll upload print options later because I couldn't decide which ones 🥲)

I wrote this in 2021 on this subject. I have spoken to hundreds of transmascs who echo this experience. In trans spaces where "testosterone is poison", "men are all toxic", and "I'm only here for the girls and theys", transmascs leave. We make our own spaces. medium.com/gender-from-...

Please try to remember, the 1st of #Octember! We'll be hosting a ridiculous, nonsensical prompt game for October for drunken party game bullshit questions, and including various insane interludes of our skeletal host, Satchel Cumberland. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#Octember

A month long series of non-sensical
promps abou your characters and stories!

This is deliberately unplanned nonsense. Expect drunk party game questions about things like how your characters would take on Godzilla, what a monster would employ them for, what fae creatures would find them hot... Etc.

Yes! And have you seen some trad published book covers? I used to work in a book store. Half of the covers are just a stock photo with a san serif font title. Or... some public domain art with a serif font title.

#SongsOfSeptember Day 29 (for real this time) 😅 This is a repeat answer with a twist since the song fits the protag, the antag, and their duet together! This one is for Fish and his estranged sister Dannine (again). Both lost children with scary powers, but their paths go opposite directions.

#WIPSnips Sept 25 - "nation" Synonym: "tribe" Working on the concept of the different nations in A Warlord's Desire. This is a very rough scene far in the future! Just working on the plot details. #⚔️⛓️🖤

“What about the rest of your tribe? Those who weren’t warriors? The children?”
“You will find them here,” Karlan replies, “if you look. In the tents, mostly. Living with the warriors. The truth is, many of our weaker members did not survive the journey across the desert. In particular, not many children.”
Ash is aghast. “They wouldn’t let you take supplies for the crossing?”
“We had to leave our herds behind. The cousins allowed us only our horses, to carry us away, and whatever else each mount could carry on his back. Most household possessions were left behind. People carried the children who were too young to ride on their own, and food.”

#AwesomeCharacters I'm gonna say Nico, but especially Nico from much later in the saga when he's 38 and has the build of a full-on grizzly. 🐻 Of all my characters, he's possibly the one who gets knocked around the most & will take a punch for the team. 😬

Panel 1:
A post from “kavishj9611” that reads:

“All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?”

Panel 2:
And Orange Guy and a Pink Guy are standing in a room that has two pipes in it. Both pipes are pumping raw sewage into the room. The characters are waist deep in it.
Orange Guy says smugly “Ok Mr “I don’t want to be in a room that’s filling up with raw sewage” let me ask you this”

Panel 3:
The sewage has reached their chests. Pink Guy is gagging. Orange Guy smugly continues “If all this sewage disappeared right now, could you get through the day without it?”

Panel 4:
The sewage is almost up to their eyeballs. Orange Guys says “Look at that shit floating past your face. Are you willing to give that up?”

#AwesomeCharacters I write a lot of bi characters... because that's my own identity! (Primarily demisexual, but biromantic.) Nico (of Nico & Fish fame) is bi, and explicitly has relationships with men & women in the series. Josephine & Magda are a sapphic couple, both bi, who were invented...

Morning is at its heart a story about ethnic conflict, and one of the main characters (Albryan) is a survivor of that conflict.

In the book he sings the poem entitled "Forest of the Morning," which I wrote in 2022. "Forest of the Morning, song of the elder race, Where now is the music of your forgotten people?" I also have very specific thoughts about how musically talented each character is and what they can play/sing.
