People talk a lot about foot fetishists, but nobody talks about how artists are all sickos for hands. Anyone who draws the human form regularly goes absolutely wolf-howl sicko mode over a well drawn hand. It's like an entire body on it's own, artists are out here hubba-hubba-ing and awooga-ing

Finished the Witch of Eden Hollow by @theeldervampire.bsky.social last night. It was extremely good and made me cry! There is trans joy in it, although there is also a great deal of struggling. I'll be honest, I was looking for a fluffy read, and this WASN'T that, but it was excellent nevertheless.

Time had run away from me again, but I couldn’t afford to let it escape, not today... Celebrating the 5th anniversary of The Thirteenth Hour, book one in The Cruel Gods series, with a proper post! 🥳 225 5-star ratings on Goodreads, SPFBO and BBNYA finalist, Indie Ink winner!
A promo image for The Thirteenth Hour 5th Anniversary. Cruel gods demand worship from their mortal subjects in this gaslamp fantasy featuring magical portals, gothic cosmic deities, quaint Britishisms, and steampunk vibes. SPFBO 8 finalist, BBNYA 2022 finalist, and Indie Ink award 2022 for best setting and wittiest character.

The book cover to The Thirteenth Hour, Book One of The Cruel Gods by Trudie skies features both protagonists of Kayl and Quen. Kayl is at the forefront on the left and is a tall blue-skinned woman with pointed ears and wearing a Victorian-styled dark blue dress. Behind her on the right is Quen, a gentleman with pale skin, silver hair, and wearing glasses and a dark blue suit. He's also holding a pocket watch. Behind them both is a giant white clock that takes up most of the cover along with whispy-white magical strands. The colors of the cover are mostly blue and silver. There are Victorian-style street lamps in the background.

You know what’s sexy? Ecosystems. That’s right I said it I melt like butter on a hot griddle if your SFF book convinces me that your <flying dragon for example> has a logical place in the (fictional) evolutionary history of the world & in the (also fictional) ecosystem it’s part of.

Concept: a bunch of high school Satanists get drunk in the local graveyard and try to conjure a demon, but they're using one of those "reconstructionist" ritual books that gets its sources all mixed up, so they end up with a minor Mithraic fertility spirit that hasn't spoken with humans in like 1700 years instead. By the terms of its binding it's not allowed to leave until it's ensured a successful harvest for its summoners, which is a problem, because none of these goobers have ever raised so much as a houseplant; if it wants to go home, it's going to have to teach them how to garden - whether they want to learn or not!

Just curious how global this is among neurodivergent people... I come into your house and find three flavors of Spindrift. Each of the 8-packs have 3 cans missing, except for one, which has four cans missing. Is the four-can pack (a) your favorite flavor, or (b) your least favorite flavor?

I was 3 when I began to realize other people were not perceiving the world in the same way I was. Also when I heard other people talking about me & my weird behavior for the 1st time (but it certainly wasn't the last). Thus started my journey to pretend to be normal (I never got the hang of it lol)

If...I didn't want writers' opinions, I...wouldn't read their books? I mean, yeah, I want to see professionalism between indie authors (what you refer to as not being toolish) and a general air of support of other authors, but go right ahead and tell me how much you hate Carrie or whatever.

I really hate how some readers think authors shouldn't be allowed any opinions regarding media or books. It's one thing to leave scathing reviews of people in your genre (that's toolish). It's another to say, "This game was meh or not great but fun" or "This popular book kinda sucked."

Corporate pride is one of those "measure not goal" things. Yes, it's indicative of where the culture's at and you'd rather it be present than not. No, it's not particularly advantageous to queer communities in and of itself. Yes, the signalling is often used to obfuscate their complicity in harm.
