fated in every universe to hate eachother. designed by god to piss eachother off. in every universe, in every timeline, i am destined to meet you. and it's going to suck really bad for both of us

okay but that's similar to my opinion on vampires. if vampires in a story can survive on animal blood, the author needs to sell it like nobody's sold anything before. because 2 me, if a vampire doesn't have to survive on horror—be that the horror of violence or the or personal horror of having to trust someone to provide and care for them—then what is the POINT!!!!!!!!!!

we ran out of devotion that corrupts. would you guys be cool with devotion thats a little annoying to everyone

They hate me for my redundancies. And also for my tendency to say the same thing but in slightly different ways. And for my repetition of phrases. And for my redundancies.

When you accidentally say the q word (quest) and your knight starts gently clanking from their happy wiggles like now you've done it, you have to send them into the dragon's lair or their helmet ploom will droop and they'll start waxing sad poetic in the moonlight

so, uh. After We Kill Our Father and Before We Reach the Mainland has been shortlisted for the Eugie Foster Award?

so today, please once again remember that if it sucks, hit da bricks. just kill him. it's fine. it's literally fine

After we kill our father but before we leave the island, we argue. Cal doesn’t want to go; he’s afraid of the water. Even after the rest of us outvote him two to one, he refuses to move, crouching on the ground, pressing the ruined side of his face into the earth, snarling whenever we try to touch him. In the end Ari has to sit down with him and say something in a quiet soothing susurrus, like they do, and the whole time Mir is pacing in the waves at the very edge of the water, where it barely comes up to her ankles. She is moving back and forth and back and forth, with her eyes on the horizon, and when this is happening Father’s blood is still on all of our hands but mostly on hers.

new max short story dropped. (+ an audio version!)
