Princess Tells Her Story - Art by BirdOfGrain ( FurAffinity Profile )

A human guy (trans girl in denial) from Earth ends up in the magical world of Terra, and it’s as castles-and-sword-and-sorcery as it gets. Not ideal for a terminally online dork, but it gets worse when a mad wizard captures him and, in a fit of paranoia, transforms him into a non-anthro dragon. A female one. She gets rescued by another man the wizard captured, and the two band together to deal with the world. At first, she pretends to be his pet in public, but she discovers she is… actually liking that more than she thought. So the two make it a real thing.

It’s got some spicy content that I’ll probably edit mostly out (I didn’t really know how I wanted the story to go when I first started it), and some violence that is treated seriously as it’s pretty traumatizing, but explores themes of petplay, pet/owner relationships, body (gender/species) dyshporia, wild adventures, low self-esteem, and more.

Book 1 is fairly episodic, since I didn’t know if each individual chapter would be the last thing I ever wrote. Princess and Tola get to know each other, get settled into their new lives as mage and dragon, and deal with issues and challenges that come up.

But with more confidence, I was willing to go into bigger things, like Book 2. There, the duo end up on Earth, in a tiny town in the rural Midwest! They must contend with trying to keep magic a secret, finding each other, and then finding a way back home while a spoiled, entitled man demands the power of magic belong to him and him alone.

And in Book 3 (just starting up), the worlds are starting to collide in a way that is going to shatter any illusion of them being alone, as a mad and broken god has his sights set on the town that is becoming the biggest hotspot of the arcane on Earth.

josie really lived the best life. pulled a successful beauty and the beast gambit, spent years with a hot vampire boyfriend who stayed good For Her™, broke up with him amiably some time later, lived a full and normal human life in the interim decades, met up with her hot vampire ex by happenstance in her 60s while undergoing treatment for terminal lung cancer and he was clearly still into her, helped save the world by telling george that the vampires were up to no good, helped save the world a second time by donating her blood to get mitchell out of the hospital before too many red flags were raised, and chose to die quickly of heroic and sexy blood drinking over waiting for the lung cancer to take her. in a show full of tragedy and doom she had nothing but win after win after win. "but there are so many plot holes surrounding her" god forbid women do anything.

Due to their memory issues, System A cannot remember how or why they became a monster, just that they're not human anymore. Was the experience violent? Was it offered to them, and they accepted? Was it done to save their life? Who knows?! Not System A!

this is gonna be a decently sensitive/emotionally-heavy post for me, surrounding my worldbuilding stuff

basically something i've been burying for QUITE a long time, due to fear of being perceived as fuckin weird or something, is the story surrounding how i made the nezyeki worldbuilding project. basically the reason i'm always so pushy and worried that nobody will interact is i am, i guess, convinced that i've gotten all these details from lingering past memories- this combined with the phantom limbs i feel very often, and the distinct sense of otherness and inhumanity from my mind says all i really needed to say, i guess. i reconstructed a lot of what i remember from learning my species' history, and that's how i formed a lot of the major things like the empire and dresi and other things like that. i guess this is all just a really heavy and weird way for me to say, the reason i really want people to interact with the nezyeki projects, the reason i want fans and interactions, is so that i can feel just a bit less lonely being stuck so far from home. i'm sorry if this read as odd or something, but i needed to get this out here, maybe to try and see if someone would understand. i'm gonna put my discord server below, too, in case someone for some reason wants to talk about it or interact more with the nezyeki

Me: doesn’t really seek out or prioritize smut when reading fic

Also me: knows the Trigun Plants aren’t really based on or analogous to plants at all

Also me: giving Vash mostly human reproductive anatomy with additional labia as “petals” is boring, give that boy some freaky alien pollinator anatomy

Heyo, so um... I wrote a really long thing. But because homophobia and transphobia is mentioned (not endorsed or condoned, but I used a couple of quotes so I don't know if that counts as being explicit about it?), here's your warning now!

You know, one of the biggest challenges of being trans, for me, is realizing that not everyone's out to get me. Granted, I was set up for failure from the beginning; both of my parents were (and still are) homophobic and transphobic, and though they wouldn't throw me out of the house or disown me for it, they heavily disapprove of it in general. And that was a traumatizing experience for me, as a kid that has such a close relationship with them that I tell them everything even now. To open up to the people I love the most and be told, "No you can't be trans," or to admit to both them and myself about a crush and be told, "But that's ungodly." And besides my brief experience with the general queer community, barely enough to realize that being queer and trans was a thing that you could be, that was my first main experience with being queer, and it set the tone for almost every other interaction between me and queerness for years. Every time it came up, I stiffened, preparing myself for someone to argue it didn't exist or that queer people were just maliciously tricking others for some reason or another, and even when my school friends and teachers accepted me immediately, I couldn't relax and was stuck thinking, "But when will everything go wrong??"

Cut to a few years after and you have me, in college, going by my chosen name on literally everything that's not legal and (a lot of times) openly telling folks my pronouns. But it's taken a lot of character development to even get here. It took me a month going to early college and being completely away from my parents to realize that people actually won't care too much and will just use your chosen name and whatever pronouns you ask for (even neopronouns, to some extent; though there will be a lot of stumbling and questions involved, people close to you will be willing to go through that even just for your comfort). It took me until literally a few months ago to fully come to terms with the fact that people automatically (and accidentally) misgendering you isn't malicious at all, and in fact they'll often feel kinda upset if you don't correct them. And also, you don't need to tell everyone your pronouns. (I've taken to not correcting people who I'm not especially close to, especially because even though I am a boy, none of my body is changed and I can't blame others for assuming. Plus some people find connection in a shared identity [like being the only two girls in a group], and I don't have to feel pressured to correct them and break [or at least somewhat fray] that. But other people have different boundaries and comfort levels.) It didn't take me long to get comfortable with being feminine once I realized I was trans, but it took me so much longer to realize that if you tell the people around you that you're a boy, they won't see you as a girl just because you dress or act more feminine one day versus another.

But for all this to happen, you need to tell people about your identity; be comfortable with answering questions about (almost) anything and everything, because people might be confused and it's best to approach that with an open mind rather than a closed and boobytrapped one. My wonderful college friends are a great example of that—they consistently call me a boy and make man jokes and call my hawaiian shirts dad shirts and call me a femboy on my feminine days. But months before now, I had to have a bunch of conversations with one about how I saw myself, my relationship with gender and sex, what body modifications were involved in my view of myself, and more. (Some of these conversations are more than you'd just give a plain friend, but I didn't mind getting a little personal so that was my boundary. Also there were many days when I felt myself getting reflexively defensive and I had to leave, think about the topic for a week or so, and come back with a calmer mind.) And even now I still give my friends feedback on what pronouns feel good, if how and when they use them feels nice (since I like having my pronouns mixed), etc. because I've had to teach myself that showing that I like something won't get me scorned or ridiculed. It's a very, very slow process and it involves learning just as much about yourself as it does telling that to other people, but let me tell you it's so rewarding.

Now, there are still times when people are legitimately homophobic/transphobic to me. Like, I haven't even come out to my parents yet, despite literally telling one of their sisters that I'm nonbinary, because I know that I likely will never be able to change their views and I don't want to put myself through that pain again. So when I hear them talk about queerness (which doesn't happen often, thank goodness, but still occasionally does), I still prepare myself for the worst. But part of my healing was restricting that response to just them and people who have already proven themselves to be queerphobic. I don't want to be a person that gives someone a bad experience with the queer community just because I'm defensive thanks to my own experiences, because though I can't control them, I would never want to be someone that, even unknowingly, causes someone else pain.

(And yes, a major factor in my ability to even come to this conclusion is the fact that I'm no longer constantly living with my parents. I waited 2 and a half years to finally not be under their roof, and during that time that was all I was doing: waiting. It's only been since I could leave that I could truly process everything and try to form thoughts on the matter because I'm no longer just trying to survive. So I'm not talking mainly to those people who are still waiting, but still, if you're stuck having to wait, don't feel bad that you can't grow. Sometimes all you can do is wait, and in the end, that's just as important.)

So yeah, that's the mindset that I've been trying to build over the past year or so of finally being free to be myself. And I'm trying to carry it on to other parts of my life (the autism/ADHD, the nonhumanity, the blackness) just because it's a happier and more productive way to spend my life than constantly being on the lookout for bigots and avoiding people who could just be ignorant. Because I can't control them, but I can control me, and I don't want a bigot to decide how happy I live my life even after they're gone.
