Camron wearing a shirt that just says "Juicebox" and no one understanding why Levi won't stop blushing

I mean- you could read one right now!

You ever read a book where instead of therapy the character has random hookups to cope with the nightmares from his past? & then it turns out the guy he just brought home is WELL AWARE of the fucked up shit from his past? 😶

A collage in cool tones. Two petri dishes overlap to create a triptych of the Emmissary, her flesh body on the left, her bones in the center, and a distortion of her skeleton on the right as her body mingles with the Beyond. It's broken up with light, leaving her as a simple line drawing. Emerging from the murky darkness on the right is Farron, smiling as the their hand also distorts, positioned over their sharp cheekbones. They peer between two fingers, and are superimposed over a window meant to represent the research hall the story takes place. Beneath the window there is text reading "Watch where you tread, little rat. Some traps are best left alone."

I love collage. I love making moodboards. Monster Manor is celebrating banned books this week, so here's my webnovel, Beyond Bringers. I wanted to use photographs + art I'd made. I like the results.

Opened up the app to see a bunch of new followers so hi 👋🏻✨

I'm A.A. Fairview or Arin & I write romance across the queer spectrum. You can probably expect some monsters to be mixed in there as well. My cat Pinto, doubles as my agent & editor.

It always baffles me the way folks think artist gatekeep. I've learned so much from fellow authors. I've seen friends grow and improve because THEY PUT THE WORK IN. They let themselves fail and be cringe. Ppl are too afraid of failure to try.

nice nice.

my FUCKING GOD
I was going to take my time with this roll-out, however, a bitch needs to go to urgent care !!

in place of itch, we have two new store fronts to support me directly:

digital works: payhip.com/ladz
signed copies (US only for now): ladz-merch.square.site/shop/books/I...

Friends --> Enemies --> Lovers

Hehe thank you 🤭

Bad communication from a company is enough reason to be upset. Itchio didn't communicate with creators AT ALL before they started shadow banning and removing content.
Some of y'all can't hold them accountable for that.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of prohibited themes present in card processing networks. We are unable to support the sale of any works containing these topics: Non-consensual content (real or implied) Underage or “barely legal” themes Incest or pseudo-incest content Bestiality or animal-related Rape, coercion, or force-related Sex trafficking implications Revenge porn / voyeur / hidden cam Fetish involving bodily waste or extreme harm (e.g., “scat,” “vomit”)

itch has quietly updated the creator FAQ with new adult content guidelines

Disability Pride Against Censorship We’re Disabled and Queer — Itch.io and the Payment Processors Are Starving Us.

We're disabled and queer. 🏳️‍🌈 We sell our writing to eat.

We launched two book sales — each has 20 books for $30. Itch bowed to conservative pressure, and hid them without warning.

Do you agree this is bullshit? Then help us make them pay.

A gothic book cover illustrated by Elaine Ho with typography by Cass at Opulent Designs. A regal Black woman gazes at the viewer. She is larger than life, towering head and shoulders above a dark castle. Her white horns are twined with flowering vines, and her red braids flow over the castle, hair transforming to a pool of blood at the foundation. She holds a white magnolia bloom. The title The Flowers I Deserve is set against the red in a sharp white serif font.

COVER REVEAL 🥀

THE FLOWERS I DESERVE is an atmospheric and character-driven FFF gothic fantasy about guilt and worth. It's also about serving a tall demon lady.
