The guardian angel’s wings were limp, radiating defeat, as the highway traffic came to a screeching halt.

“First time?” Death asked and threw a translucent ball to the translucent puppy.

“No. It doesn’t get any easier, though.”

“I guess not. Not with the dogs.”

Do you consider fanfiction legitimate writing?

I won the 2004 Hugo Award for Best Short Story for an H. P. Lovecraft /Arthur Conan Doyle mashup fiction, so fanfiction had better be legitimate, because I'm not giving the Hugo back.

Or the 20O5 Locus Award for Best Novelette. I'm not giving that back either.

Big Cats

… a remarkable family that has conquered the world. One family… 40 different faces. They thrive in every landscape… from the frozen north… to the driest deserts. From the most remote, barely explored places… to the heart of our modern world. These are the cats.

Thinking about how many ace, aro, and especially aroace people identify as nonbinary, or more specifically agender. Thinking about how many people come to identify as nonbinary after coming to terms with their aspec identity. Thinking about my own disconnect from gender due to my lack of attraction, because gender and sexuality are tangled together in intricate ways. Thinking about the way aspec people are dehumanized and how easy that shit is to internalize. Thinking about aspecs being unable to relate to “normal” (assumed standard, expected) human experiences. Thinking about “love is what makes us human!” Thinking about defining your identity by a lack of something. Just thinking about agender aspecs.

I drew this very specific ace artist meme with Mothman because I wanted to feel some happiness specific to me.

I came up with the idea of familiars taking a photoshoot for charity.

And, being who they are, you really can't expect them to stay still.

Here you have the photo that made it to the charity calendar and then you'll see what happened right after that.

You may notice that Isaac is the only one still posing and Nick is so done that he manages only to roll his eyes.

I spent 2 days on that, so I hope it makes you smile:)
