In 2011, I started writing a thing, on a whim. In 2013, I finished it. A lot of people seemed to love it? Then over the next decade, I put a lot of work into expanding and editing it, with plans for a complete physical book release that didn't happen. Well, here it is again. As an internet novel. A finished novel, this time.

I will start posting the story on May 21st, 2024. May 22nd will be a day of rest. And then, from May 23rd until October 21st, every day will see a new chapter-- a new log. ("F-Five months?? How long is this novel?" Oh yeah, good point. That won't actually get us to the end. There may be another eight, ten days of chapters afterwards. It is important, however, to emphasize the May 21 - October 21 model.)

I will make sure to put the bulk of the contents under "Read More" breaks, so each log won't clutter your browsing experience.

The logs will have art in them. Not as much as in the original draft, but there will still be some. As of May 1st, I expect art by Rappu, RealaChao, Wiratomkinder, and Vis.

I plan on supplementing the logs with the occasional post talking about the making and intention of the story. I dunno, it's gonna be a five-month distribution period, I'm gonna get antsy during that and am gonna want to ramble. That'll be separate content, though.

And when the story is fully and completely posted on tumblr, I will release the full novel on my Website, where I like to keep the rest of my creations. Both the tumblr novel and the Website novel will be free reading, forever. I reserve the right to try again at a paid physical edition afterwards.

So! That's it. Rapture is coming. OH GOD THE RAPTURE IS BURNING is coming.

Trigger Warnings: Sex, Gods, and Rock & Roll. (violence. some swear words. teenage angst, cringe. death. insects. surrealism. symbolism. unpredictability of what will be explained and what won't. sexual acts with dubious consent-- you will be able to skip that part. religious iconography. and so much prog rock.)

Get ready for it.

I created an anti-horror visual novel for the Spooktober Game Jam -- one of the reasons why I've been so quiet on Tumblr. If you're interested, take a look and give it a rating.

"I miss when movies weren't political-"

ALIEN is about a megacorporation coercing some salvagers into transporting a dangerous creature without telling them what it is, all because the creature could be a great bioweapon for them. When a survivor of this failed transport mission wants reparations, they screw her over to avoid a scandal.

ROBOCOP is about another mega-corporation experimenting with a cop's body and declaring him their property, trying to reduce him to an obedient killing machine who can maintain the status quo for them.

JURASSIC PARK is about a rich billionaire going all out to make a dinosaur-themed amusement park, not caring about the real-world implications of resurrecting giant lizards. He also underpays ONE guy to maintain the entire park's security systems so predictably, that one guy betrays him at a crucial moment.

The best movies weave their politics with plot & character, so you can enjoy them as entertainment but can also notice the themes. Movies without themes wind up being all spectacle and no substance, just noise and color like Michael Bay's Transformers franchise. Yeah, they make money, but they'll be forgotten in 2 generations.

"Problematic Rape Story is disgusting and wrong because it normalizes/romanticizes/fetishizes real life crime! But Problematic Murder Story is okay because obviously everyone knows murder is wrong and the murderers are always portrayed as bad and no one is glamorizing their actions"

Tell me you've never been in the tumblr tag for a single horror movie without telling me you've never been in the tumblr tag for a single horror movie...

Nothing is more illustrative of how rainbow capitalism erodes queer identities into marketable categories then the difference between the original movie of Rocky Horror Picture show, and that live show they filmed in the 2010s.

In the original Dr Frank n Furter is a character who blurs gender lines. He's technically a villian but in that Disney way where he's still inherently likeable. He's androgynous, and can be interpreted as trans, nonbinary or gnc depending on how the audience decides to read him, but he's very clearly outside the gender binary in a way that's hard to ridgedly define.

In the 21st century adaptation he's changed to be a very binary, 100% passing, trans woman. While people like that are definitely valid, it's far from making him more diverse or progressive. He goes from someone that can't fit into either binary gender norm, to someone working hard to fit into one of them. And it's the type of thing neolibs love to see as being more progressive. We've gone from a queer culture based around trying to destroy gender norms, to a queer culture based around begging cishet people to let us be part of their gender norms.

Rainbow capitalism doesn't just commodify queer culture. It actively eats away at parts of the queer community.

I never thought about this until I saw it seriously used, but the term "illegal ships" is just so fucking funny.

Like okay, do you think the whole Game of Thrones is a crime? That the millions of people who watched/read/worked on it are disgusting criminals who deserve to go to jail? Is that what you're implying?

"Illegal ships" do you know what the word fiction means?

Is Wolf and / or Flowers in any kind of relationship? Aside from Flowers being madly in love with reckless fun, that is

No Wolf/Flowers unfortunately, the ship I have in mind is significantly more insane.
