just want to take a step back from the relentless churn of news to recognize how fucking terrifying things are for trans people right now. and i just want to say that i will always fight for you—in my capacity as a journalist and as a human being—and i’m here for whatever the trans community needs.

WARNING: GRAPHIC DEPICTION OF TORTURE A man makes the mistake of taking advantage of one of Zethrie's girls, for which a point must be made. #hbp92 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

$Simpleton. These fucking creatures are always braying about possession and ownership as though they’ve any right to such a claim. Their lives are measured in decades. Which they spend humping anything that moves as if it were the only thing they know. It’s almost tragic, truly, that he’s so little grasp on what real possession is. My girls are not property. They’re My responsibilities, My charges… My Blood… His pleas fall on the same deafening silence all the others have, consumed by the oblivion he has yet to beg Me for. And as I circle him with silent footfalls, studying his frail features, I can’t help but be a little impressed with his resolve. His will to live has almost been inspired, so far, but I grow bored with his refusal to give Me what I want. I come to a stop behind him, sliding one of My claws from the base of his tailbone to slowly count the vertebrae. One… Two… Three… His wails have long since been reduced to ragged squeaks from dehydration, a fact I am reminded of as I twist My talon in slow circles around his sciatic nerve. The seconds tick by in melodic agony, a sound I’ve come to enjoy a little too much from My vengeance hunts. It never gets old, the feeling of a delicate nerve between My fingers, especially when the adrenaline and cortisol season the blood so deliciously. The longer their hearts race as only a prey creatures’ can, the longer their blood marinates the meat and grey matter. The only value they have once they’ve tested My patience. I begin to measure the time in the beats of his heart, even as the pain brings about the telltale palpitations of arrest. A sign it’s time to let up, at least in part, but I prolong the yoking each time, showing him what it feels like to know a fraction of the lasting trauma he’s inflicted on what’s MINE.$

Have any of my fellow #Writers here in #Writesky written a character who was godlike? I've not read many stories with such characters that aren't just throw away characters or plot killers in some way, so I'm curious of how others have done it. 1/2

Part of that worldbuilding has been "Lytherial", the conlang I've built for the setting. Credit where it's due, @vectorknight.bsky.social helped me with picking the name after he misread one of the ones I'd been mulling over. I loved the misread so much more than the others I'd looked at.

Okay! So, given it's been over a week since I've posted, again, figured I'd correct that. I've been somewhat busy the last week and a half, though I haven't gotten much actual novel written. Most of what I've been doing is yet more worldbuilding. It's gonna be worth it though! #Writesky #Writers

Welp, it's been a little over a week since I posted anything, but I've picked up Scrivener and it's taken me a few days to get everything transferred over. I'm still working on getting my notes copied over from Obsidian, but it's already making an impact on my productivity. Brain is braining!!

Zethrie is able to hear and manipulates thoughts and memories as effortlessly as she breathes, yet she finds herself almost completely unable to do the same to Katherine, making her the quietest company, and subsequently the most compelling. She's a puzzle, and Zeth simply can't resist a good one.

"Sanguine Ascendant: Solitude" Its the first of a series of books in a world I'll probably wind up populating with several stories before its done. The main anti-protag, Zethrie, is an ancient ascended vampire of immense power, but with that power comes profound solitude. #WritingCommunity #Writers

Katherine doing a little investigating of the archives in Zethrie's family estate. A few things don't seem to make any sense. #WIPSnips #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #Writers #WritingPrompts

I run my fingers over the gouges. They appear somewhat fresh… Where a thin layer of dust has settled on the wood surrounding them, they themselves are completely clean, and there’s still a few shards of wood lying in the corner of the shelf. With an estate of this size, it’s not surprising that there would be some places lower in priority than others for cleaning, but even still.
Looking around at the other cubbies on the shelf only leaves me with more questions. They’re all near spotless. Why was this one left as it is then? Better yet, where’s the book that once sat here? Its imprint in what little dust is here betrays the presence of it, so there must be one, and my curiosity of its contents grows with every breath.
I try to get some sense of what might have been in it from the surrounding tomes, but there seems to be some sort of organization to the room I don’t fully understand. One of them is just a random book of smutty short stories. Another is an omnibus of The Lord of the Rings. There’s another that looks to be a collection of old home remedies.
When my investigation proves utterly fruitless, I leave the shelf and it’s mysteries to look at some of the artwork around the room. There are a few portraits hanging on the ends of some of the shelves, with a select few hanging on what little bare space there is on the walls. A bust of Zethrie stands on a plinth at the end of one shelf, the intensity of her gaze captured in the stone with a precision the mason should be proud of.

A little melancholy I was told to share, so here I am sharing. #writingcommunity #poetry #writers #writersofbluesky

Lamentations
Perfection lies in the spaces where pain abates and wanes.
Where the dreams we made along the way are manifest,
and the suffering fades to naught but mist and rain.
I've paid my dues to this wretched place we call life.
My agony's run its course and set its flames so bright,
that to settle on just one soul to claim as right, betrays
the very struggle that fosters what our chaotic plays
bring to a sheltered mind. Or even threatens to flay
us alive for sins we'd sooner unmake. It's in the way
we stand astride with our brothers, sisters, and siblings
that's where we find a fortress strong, and weed things
like the weakest strife which blinds us out. It stings
me still that in this time, when family stands against
my life, I love so deeply still that my heart stands in angst.
Let this serve, for some time yet, a Mother's Lamentations
that such a complicated thing could leave her child wanting
and her heart a tangled wreck.

A little spice in a vampires life never hurt anyone. 😉 #WritingCommunity #Snippetshare

He’s gentle in his hunger, I won’t deny that much, and just for once I think I’ll indulge myself in the affection before I take corrective action. Let my ever-tight control slip for a few hours to simply feel something for a change. At least I can pretend for just a moment that I’m not alone, even if it’s just for a night…
“Fuck it…” I murmur into his lips, letting the façade I wear slip a little, exposing just a bit of the majesty that is my truth. I lean into the kiss in earnest, twin tongues twirling into a textured mess with his as I swallow the groan he feeds me. It’s an intoxicating sound I can tell he’s spiked with a little of his power, but Gods is it good. He’s no doubt unaware of the touch I’ve added to my own soft whimpers, he’d be far more voracious if I were forcing enough to detect.
I take my time in guiding his tongue as he explores and tastes of my mouth, teasing him just a little by playfully pushing it against one of my fangs. That same moment sees his hand slide from the small of my back to the top of my ass where he splays his fingers out. Flesh spills between the digits as he squeezes tight and pulls me into him, eliciting a light gasp I play up to encourage more.

By listening to & learning from trans women, I became better able to appreciate & accept myself on multiple levels that I can’t even articulate yet as I’m still processing it. This is one reason why they are seen as such a threat; they undermine the patriarchy in a visceral way.

Since details of the smear campaign broke, initially in a big feature in The New York Times, then subsequently in dozens of articles on major news sites, not one outlet has used the word misogyny. www.usermag.co/p/blake-live...

Why won’t the media use the word misogyny?

Misogyny is at the core of these smear campaigns targeting women, yet news coverage consistently avoids naming it.
