Seann, or: a Wretched Beast

an early positive sign of growth on bluesky for me was how many porn artists were moving to this site or at least building a presence
worrying sign now is the fact I'm seeing a lot of artists who *have* accounts on here from other sites but also haven't posted in 8 months

A new vampire horror novella is coming. Reveal Thursday, October 30th.

It cannot get lost in the shuffle, even with so much else going on, that the world's most wealthy people have had their minds absolutely rotted out, just saturated to the dripping point with black mold down to the studs and frame, by the all encompassing unhumanity of their wealth.

I already said we don't need billionaires, Mr. Cuban. You don't need to keep selling me on the idea.

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.

Iarius had seen combat before. He had witnessed men marching to battle, songs on their lips, and watched as those same lips expelled their final breaths. He had seen blood spilled in honorable duels and in cowardly ambushes, seen mighty warriors reduced to simpering children as their lives bled out from their battle-wounds. As a slave, he'd see men beaten and whipped by their masters, been forced to watch torturous executions where the condemned took days to die as a warning to others. At the Acadaemium, he'd chronicled the exploits of soldiers, and he'd left Remura with his head full of songs of glory. But Iarius had seen soldiers put down uprisings, seen simple tavern brawls spill over into riots. Bit by bit, those glorious songs that had once filled his head were replaced by the screams of dying men and the sharp notes of blade sliding into flesh. Yes, Iarius ex Maritoris was a man who had seen combat, and who now harbored no illusions about it. He recognized it as the base, horrible thing it was, a necessary evil that must taint the soul of every man, no matter how noble, who engages in the act. That youth who'd once dreamed of glory had matured into a man who knew that warfare was ugly and vile, the terrible price we pay for peace, justice, and prosperity. But now, standing on that mountain, watching as Nessalir the Red faced down the Equine Centuria, Iarius saw that combat could be something else as well. It could be beautiful.

The newest chapter of my webnovel has gone public and I think it's one of the best chapters yet, so check it out:

God Xander is the worst

it's so odd to me to see people go to bat for a political newcomer like platner. it's not like he's spent years earning our trust. we have very, very few data points about this dude, and one of those data points is "he has a nazi tattoo."

Cosmic brain

I can't believe I'm saying this, but she's actually telling the truth.

they're neat

thinking about boobs

Entirely too many people are still fully convinced that this man is a genius.

Update: the rough draft is complete.

A black guinea pig, laying down on hay.

Have you had the privilege of beholding Edgar Allen Pig?

Somebody give me ideas on how to convince people to join my Patreon

The Leverage cast seeing the Louvre heist and collectively posting, "Not it," is the whimsy we deserve.

Screenshot of a Google Docs document. The document is titled "It Came from the Floodwaters." The Word Count window is open, revealing the document to be 45 pages, with 20222 words.

Starting the last chapter, which will likely be the longest. I'm guessing the draft will end up around 25k words, and then the final post-revision text will be close to 30k.

You should check out my latest book review(s) if you haven't already

The same dudes who OK'd "somehow, Palpatine has returned" were like "hmm, actually, I don't see how he could still be alive."

The Dem base is now way, way to the left of its elected representatives, for sure.

Boomer moms are out in the streets begging Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to get their shit together and fight back.

Absolutely right. This is why we constantly say that if you love a book/author please please please tell people about it.

Want to complain about bridge-tunnel traffic but there's only like 15 in the world and 3 of them are right here so no one will know what the hell I'm talking about.

Easy block list

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.

Oh. My. God.
