This is so gooooood
This is so gooooood
if jack fucked boston NOW he'd consider it to be cheating
It's so important to me
ideally if he cheated on dean to do it but I'd accept before or after
it's suuuuch a stressful moment, gloom and moodiness are completely understandable

More recent shows (coughOFDOcough) may also be on the table, just ask!
OFDO ep 2: never have I felt such joy in my heart at the sight of a sweater vest
someday they'll give it to us. someday
When I am able to approach it as "find creative ways to show off things about my work I love and am proud of" I rather enjoy it!
When I fall into the hole of "figure out what people like and do that" or, god forbid, "be normal" then it's agony.
The thing is, when anyone at work says "have a good weekend" on Friday I'm like "ah, so we are agreed the week is over and I can stop working now"
This was my first thought yes ๐
I went to bed feeling disgruntled about various things and then I had a long dream that culminated in my walking down a street singing Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire" and I woke up fixed
DADDY YAN
man that scene is so good. the teapot slowly boiling. xia jiang getting played like three different ways in the same scene. yujin getting to do a shenanigan.
I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...
Yes!
The most important thing for me has been staying in close community with other writers who have similar values and vision to mine. My writer friends help me keep my eyes on what I want to create and why. They help me keep perspective on reader feedback, and trust that the right readers will find me.
"feels like the book the author wanted to write" hit so hard. I long for this! I'm so hungry for books that feel like they came out of *one particular person* and don't have all their funky corners sanded down!
It's only a matter of time before I bite the bullet and start making the switch
I've been asking myself this for years, so reading the responses with interest
Since both things went live on the same day, I have a fun little racetrack in my mind for which will be higher by the weekend: book sales, or charity auction bids. (it's a win either way!)
FTH bidding is live! Want me to write a fanfic specifically for YOU?
Offering a long list of BL and BL-adjacent fandoms, including Khemjira, Revenged Love, Great Men Academy, and Moonlight Chicken.

Book cover for The Citizen of Eastport, by V B Ruth. Front cover features portraits of three characters, one facing front and the other two in profile on either side, with a menacing metallic figure behind and overhead. Back cover shows a spilled rocks glass and a dead body in a pool of light. Blurb reads: Vi used to be a fighter. In the underground rings she was a champion, but on the streets of Eastport, where gangs and trade powers fight for dominance, the most she could ever be is a pawn. Instead she keeps her head down, takes care of her people, and tries to avoid trouble. Trouble comes for her anyway, when a wealthy citizen decides he wants something she has. As his net draws tighter around her, hope rests in the unlikeliest places: the provocative thief she can't keep her hands off of, and the childhood sweetheart she once betrayed.
It's here!! I've been working on THE CITIZEN OF EASTPORT for 5 years and it's finally time to unleash it upon the world. If you like messy queer relationships, intrigue, noir, and butch protagonists, you might want to check it out.
Available in ebook and paperback: books2read.com/citizenofeas...
Omg!!! Enjoyyyyy
That look into the camera is going to haunt me all my days

Ship guide: Tempe and Kilo. Ice blue background Kilo: the danger is what makes it fun Tempe: with you, I almost feel like a person Between them: "can't afford to care about each other" (might care anyway) "amoral hedonist/ruthless idealist" "S/M dynamic"
Ship guide: Vi and Kilo. Dark red background. Vi: I don't like you, but I can't quit you Kilo: I can quit you any time I want to. So what if I don't want to? Arrow from Vi to Kilo: the one person she doesn't have to hold back with Arrow from Kilo to Vi: the one person ze can always count on (even if neither of them admits it) Between them: "grumpy rottweiler/scrappy alley cat" "they both like it rough"
Ship guide: Vi and Tempe. Dark purple background Tempe: "There is one person in the world I've never lied to." Vi: "I did what I did to protect her. I know she'll never forgive me." Between them: "can't go back to the way things were but try telling my heart that" "first love, first heartbreak" "YEARNING"
My book is out in two days! 2! I can't believe it's so soon. Releasing 3/3, and here's a trio of ship guides as a teaser. None of them are normal about each other.
Many thanks again to @feral-philosopher.bsky.social for the wonderful character art!
Yeah! It's called either Earth or 4 Elements: Earth depending where you look. Very enjoyable if you're in the mood for high melodrama.
It's the first in a series of linked stories about a quartet of lesbian cousins, hence the "4 Elements" prefix
I love this show for taking that theme all the way to the edge... and then bringing us back, of course. But that's to come.
PHEW EPISODE 9 OVER. Looking forward to next week and a return to good old horror.

And look, okay, we want to blame Khem here. We know how badly Pharan is hurting and we know he knows too. But that's how depression is. You can't just make yourself believe the truths people tell you. You can't just make someone feel that their presence is better than their absence.
#gbkhemjira
Auuuugh the way Khem embraces Pharan here, the way he says "I'm sorry" and you really want it to be "I'm sorry for thinking of leaving you" but. It is not that.
And the callback to the pinky hold, for when you know what he needs from you but you cannot bring yourself to give it.
#gbkhemjira
Jet and Charn agreeing to be just friends for now is the least depressing thing that happens this whole episode.
(well okay, Pharan coughing blood was pretty sexy, but other than that)
