#and that’s the real horror

I made a Claude frollo cosplay but didn’t make a wig or figure out the makeup so I instead just wore a fursuit

shooting the messenger

something you learn writing SOCIAL HORROR of any kind is there is just a huge portion of buckaroos who will always think the political things being reflected in art are not real or overblown, and theyre almost always wrong. i believe love wins out, but there ARE scoundrels to battle on our way there

in my first horror novella STRAIGHT the buds are going out to a cabin three years after first annual zombie day because theres a vaccine. theyre acting normal. amount of early reviews docking stars for 'being unrealistic that folks would return to acting normal in just three years' is HILARIOUS now

in BURY YOUR GAYS there are were some folks all the way up until a few weeks ago who would review and say something like 'loved the book but this issue is over. queer media is mainstream'. YET SUDDENLY we now have pride days getting removed from official calendars, gay media deleted, flags banned

so point is IM RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING. just kidding. although i am. BUT ACTUALLY my point is that HORROR taps into something SO important. it taps into fear yes, but it also taps into a subliminal deep knowledge that culture KNOWS but most people are not ready to hear yet. it is a MESSENGER genre

maybe that is why i talk to much about connection between PUNK and HORROR. both strong messenger genres, and how fitting that we have whole idioms about 'killing the messenger'. these artistic expressions are often maligned as 'too much' because sometimes the truth is hard to hear and feel and read

all of this is to say I AM SO PROUD to trot here in the world of uncomfortable truths with you. im also deeply honored, and it is fight i will not back down from. fortunately WITH LOVE AS OUR FUEL this is battle we will win. that is a truth i am certain of, so lets HOIST THE FLAG OF LOVE AND TROT ON

PS: as far as pointed messages go, my next book LUCKY DAY has a ferocious way and sure as heck isnt pulling any punches. give it a preorder if you can

I just watched ‘Doctor Bashir, I presume?’. Never let me watch another Julian centric episode again I will NOT survive

always a fun time when real life people are doomed by their own narratives. like guys you know it doesn’t have to be like this right? this isn’t a stageplay the foreshadowing isn’t real until you make it real

Welp, a quick Melanie King sketch turned into a full on rendering. So here you go fellow brainrotted TMA fans (also she is in fact wearing a Grifters Bone shirt, I think she would wear it unironically/ironically)

How do they hold the MC

very happy to present incredible cover art for LUCKY DAY. beautiful work from LA BOCA capturing the spirit of this strange and terrifying and existential and absurdist horror novel. PRE ORDER HERE AND SUPPORT THE ART YOU LOVE

i have talked on this many times, but i would like to use this opportunity to say again, ESPECIALLY NOW, taking a moment to directly support queer, neurodivergent, counterculture, or outsider art is so important and POWERFUL. WE CAN BEND TIMELINES TOWARDS LOVE but it takes trotting together.

LUCKY DAY is about a lot of things. its my bisexual erasure book, but also about how we deal with a world that seems so full of overwhelming grief. its about finding hope amid chaos and trotting forward with love. please take a moment to preorder if you can.

Everyone... I would like to direct your attention to this wonderful fanfic/art made by Bloomie/Clouddii. If you enjoys seeing your ship does that common couple activity of "dying together" like me then I totally reccommend it!

I'm late, but I did promised to draw a cute lil sketch for the fanfic. This certainly is a sketch, but I dunno if it's cute or not
