"Your petty problems seem so small now... don't they?"

A quickly doodled fan comic from @umbraldame featuring a thing from beyond A.K.A. "The Blanket" and her ability to absorb not only nutrition but information from the people she digests! That would be pretty handy for investigating a mystery, if you could get past the question of morality.

This is one of the five playable monster types in Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy, and a fan favorite around here!

Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy is still crowdfunding on kickstarter from now until 2:00 PM CST on Friday, May 10th! Back it before it's too late!

The Purge but everyone stays at home bc they're scared except Gen z who go out bc they have no will to live and when they notice it's all empty they take the chance to party in the street and be queer in public spaces

(Fourteen-year old boys ransacking Gucci and running around the street in stolen 5000 dollar dresses)

(Trans kids taking over the deserted malls and cheaply recreating 90's music videos)

(The autistics climbing buildings)

(Older teen lesbian weddings in the empty church)

(The Minecraft kids make makeshift spears and go hunt boars. They manage to hunt zero boars but have a hell of a good time)

(Teen girls forsake gender-imposed dress code and wear whatever. Some people are just naked cuz it's warm)

(At least 1 mormon church is set ablaze)

You can't be an assassin and straight.

It's too homoerotic of a profession.

What do you mean, you're hunting other men?

You're bathing in their blood and hiding your identity from the world and you have bad relationships with your parents?

You're fighting other assassins who are holding their knives to your pretty throat and hurling chairs at your head and stabbing you in the thighs? You're bleeding and dying in each other's arms? Your dying breaths are commingling and your life force is dwindling, and all you can do is clutch each other tightly as you spiral into oblivion, but at least you're not alone, in the end?

This is the queer experience.

Diversity win, that man who tried to kill you is pansexual.

If you agree, check out my new novel series.

But if you don't, it's ok to be wrong.

Full description below, and it is free for download on the free kindle app from now until July 4th.

All hail homoerotic fights to the death.

Transcribed if the graphics don't load:

Twenty-three-year-old CEO Don Francisco wants one of the richest women in the world dead. Which one? Daphne Oakland: actress, model, heir to the Oakland financial empire, and unbeknownst to the general public, talented demon summoner. But since Francisco isn’t nearly as rich as the established Oakland family, he hires the only assassin he can afford: Sebastián Monterey, a down-on-his-luck, struggling demon summoner, the cheapest and lowest ranking one there is.

But Monterey is nothing like Cisco expected. He’s high-spirited, reckless, relentlessly cheerful …and worse, he’s a bit of a slut. The CEO is horrified to find out that Monterey has not just one, but seven angry exes in the killing business, who will stop at nothing to get in the way of an already impossible hit. Not only do they have personal reasons for wanting to see their former lover dead, they also have professional reasons: they are all currently employed by the Oakland family members!

To make matters worse, Monterey finds out the Oaklands are each protecting a demon ritual artifact for Daphne. When brought together, all 7 can be used to summon a demon more powerful than any currently contracted on earth. If he is to carry out this hit at all, he’ll have to interfere with the summon by stealing every artifact, and maybe even summon the demon before Daphne can.

But that's only if none of his exes kill him first!

So, i was supposed to be an arcane nexus. The 7th son of the 7th son, my birth was supposed to 'bring about the restoration of my clans magical talents'. Only it didn't happen, and kept not happening for 20 years. My family thinks they got the math wrong and its gonna happen when i get my magic. But i recently figured something out Im trans. Meaning i was never the 7th son, im never going to get magic, not my dad's anyway. How do i tell him. I don't think he'll have a problem with it. But basically having to tell him he's gonna have to go make me a little brother, because i found the math error is gonna be really awkward.

First of all, congratulations! I hope you can find time to celebrate this moment of self-discovery and to delight in all the wonderful things yet to come as you embark on your life as a trans person. I understand that this throws your family's plans rather into disarray, but it's also rather affirming, in its way. The magic you “ought” to have inherited recognised your true gender before you did!

How you handle this really depends on your relationship with your parents. You said you don't think your dad will have an issue with your gender identity, which certainly makes things easier. There is plenty of advice out there on the matter of coming out to one's family. If you're not sure where to start, your local library will likely have some helpful resources to get you started.

On the magical side of things, I'm afraid you're quite right in thinking you probably won't be blessed with magical ability any time soon. If the inheritance calls for sons then sons it must have. However, as your own experience aptly demonstrates, magic responds to reality in a far more holistic sense than the merely biological.

You are not a man. You know this of yourself, and while your biology may have caused some confusion on the matter up to this point, it was not the whole story. Magic responds to the whole story.

As such, your parents need not scrabble around trying to have another child biologically. They might adopt a seventh son instead – and that son need not even be a child. In fact, there are some individuals who offer themselves up for adoption for a fee, fulfilling prophecies or magical inheritances to whoever makes them the best deal.

If your parents are considering that avenue, I recommend they secure the services of a solicitor with plenty of experience in liminal contract work. Look for any firm that advertises themselves as “good folk”, “honest neighbours” or similar.

You aren't responsible for the expectations other people place on you. Concentrate on celebrating your new identity, and leave the rest to your parents. After all, it was their failure of imagination that got them into this situation. Being trans is hardly as unusual as all that, and if they'd really wanted to secure the family's magical future, they could have given you a little brother as a fail-safe.

Hello! I'd like to tell you about a book I wrote. It'll be coming out on Friday the 26th of May 2023.

I'm extremely proud of this one. I'm proud of them all, of course, but I think in this one I let myself get angry for, well, pretty much the whole book to be honest. Previous books in the series have bursts of queer rage, but this one definitely sustained it.

At its heart, it's a book that demands to know just how long we're supposed to do nothing while fascists kill us.

Now, fair warning, it is book 9 in an ongoing series. It won't make a whole lot of sense if you haven't read the previous eight books. I'll get to that at the end of the post, but for now I want to stick with Runes of Fall.

No storm bows to reason.

Quentin's trip to the desert with his chosen family is supposed to be two days of testing the limits of their powers. Instead, a violent storm looms on the horizon, and nothing will alter its course.

The storm has a name: Nate Anderson. Demigod, supremacist, leader of a neo-Nazi Übermensch cabal... and father to Quentin's latest ward, Mel. He means to take her home, and won't let a ragtag group of "inferior" psychics get in his way.

Besieged and outgunned, Quentin is trapped in a no-win scenario. No matter which way he turns, one fateful night will change him forever.

Inheritance is a series best read in order, so if this is the first you've heard of it I strongly recommend that you start with Jack of Thorns, but keep going and I'll let you know how you can grab that for free. First, let me tell you more about it.

In Jack of Thorns, we meet Laurence and Quentin, two men with astonishing powers but little to no control over them. They are both adrift, traumatised, and doing what they can to get by one day at a time. Laurence is struggling to escape a toxic, abusive boyfriend who refuses to accept that their relationship is over, and Quentin spends as much of his time drunk as he possibly can.

Do they start out likeable? Opinion varies. But they learn, they grow, and they put in the work to improve themselves. They do their best, and sometimes they make mistakes, but the Laurence and Quentin in Runes of Fall are a world away from the Laurence and Quentin you first meet.

Heads up, there are some content warnings to take note of. In random order, they are: sexual intimacy, addiction, drug use, sexual assault, childhood sexual abuse, incest, gaslighting, bullying, coercive control, kidnapping, domestic abuse, bigotry, classism, torture, post-traumatic stress, therapy, violence, peril, and death.

If you're still here, thank you for reading this far. I'd like to give you some links if you're interested in finding out more!

I made cute profile pics for the Love Squad RIGHT as the SWAK jam was ending, they're very cute despite the fact they were done while I was very tired at like 2am. XD

They'll be added to the title screen of "Lovely Magicals" soon, I REALLY wanted to before the jam ended, but the title screen was not cooperating with me that day and I needed to submit it to the game jam literally that day!

But cute profile pics WILL get into the game eventually! ᕙ(^▿^-ᕙ)

Until the update though you can already play "Lovely Magicals" today, it already has a full route to play through! :0

Bahahah the first ship art I've done... ever?? Featuring my characters, Jaecyrianthe (main guy), and Pierce (or his hand at least). These two have been a long-time favourite couple of mine- particularly to write, especially with all Pierce's flirtatious remarks and Jay's frosty exterior gradually melting away with each one. Pierce loves to compliment, and Jay loves to feel complimented, albeit rarely seems to.

Cheers to 2025!

The trend of Lou going wild with a bunch of new books continues into another year. Next year I'm continuing on with a lot of my series, but I'm also starting some new stuff. I'm super excited to bring new characters and plots to life, but also to see where the ones I currently have are going.

April 30 - Kill Your Darlings (Hunters of Ironport book #3)

October 29 - Witches of Moondale book #4

TBD - Of Blight & Ruin (Sanctuary of the Lost book #3)

Great story with interesting world-building, a peak into LAtin culture and GREAT representation of being trans and the struggle of wanting to be accepted

Just officially started on and released new series. Chapter 1 available NOW! It's for the lovers of gay m/m works that blend fantasy!

The "Veil of Carnality" - Kindle link: HERE https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DP3DHQJ5

Synopsis: This series chronicles the adventures of Jex, a soul siphoner serving as the follower to the God of lust and reproduction, Kemu. They reside in the "Veil of Carnality", the realm housing Kemu's village and the essential source of his powers. Nowadays his powers are seemingly beginning to dwindle, so he tasks his loyal follower to bulldoze through 4 other realms, with his main mission to siphon the sexual energy from their leaders. This is so they can propel their own world, bringing Kemu back to full dominance. Jex is prepared to use his sleek skills and natural fervent energy to carry out what he's instructed to. However, it may not be as seamless as he intends.

Snippet below! 👇🏾👇🏾

Kemu possessed molars that were fanglike; they slightly exposed themselves as he licked at his own lips, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle currently being displayed in front of him. His long dark hair draped on his shoulders, perfectly complimenting the deep violet color that stained the entirety of his skin. Only a stable pair of black pants with a silver chain acting as a belt served as his outfit. His exposed upper torso rested against the violet spikes aligning the sides of his throne. Groans emitted from the tall being, his legs created a natural gap between them. His chin gradually tried to touch the air as he found himself becoming aroused, invigorated.

“…Yes” he spoke lowly. Despite a lowered tone, his power extended to his voice, as it was still dark, still commanding no matter the volume.

His eyes trailed each movement at the center of the room, where his gaze had been fixated towards the entire time. The lighting in the room had been intentionally dim, with the only source coming from an open crater in the ceiling. It accurately pointed and shined to the center. It illuminated a bed of dark lilies. Wiring that housed a few red diamond shaped orbs interjected itself in the aesthetic by circling around the bed. A sudden glowing of the red inside of the diamonds signified more movement. Natural rustling sounds that came with moving flowers resonated through the space as Jex, one of the individuals playing in the bed, spread his legs. He was the embodiment of sleek, skillful, and adaptable. Perfect attributes that made him the right-hand follower to Kemu. Special privileges brought about feelings of jealousy from others.

Jex smirked some, biting his bottom lip after creating the separation. He was currently sharing the bed, in full on nakedness with Xander, another follower who had shared duties when it pertained to worshipping Kemu. Xander dangled his tongue from his mouth. He began slithering it from Jex’s ankles, gradually making a path all the way up to his inner thigh. He took in the sweet deep melanin that coated Jex’s physique as he trailed on. Both, at this point, had already been indulging in one another for quite some time, mostly focused on showcasing a pleasurable sight for their master. Jex’s back lowered to the bed as Xander made more headway, now licking on past his navel, coming up to his neck. Jex’s gemstone green eyes glimmered now that Xander’s brown set loomed over his. A slight breath was shared between the two before their lips adjoined, not the first passionate kiss shared between the two. Their eyes were closed, and the kiss remained locked in. Xander slithered up just a bit, now adjusting his swollen dick, sliding it seamlessly into Jex’s hole. It was made easy, due to this being a resurgence back inside of him, as opposed to the initial entrance.
