Twilight, but instead of moody mid-00's soft alt rock, the soundtrack is 70s boogie disco

Another month done, making sure I don't get *too* mainstream.

It's hard work, of course, but I do it for you~

Offscript Don't you just hate when movies go offscript? We are a podcast that discusses a book and it's film adaptation. We discuss just how offscript they went! You can find us anywhere you download your podc...

They do really great work too, so give them a follow if you like books, movies, or both:

Just got word you can hear (and potentially see?) me on Off Script Podcast on August 20th, with the full unedited version on YouTube.

You'll be able to listen to me go on 10 minutes long tangents about Percy Jackson instead of my books! #indieauthor #podcasting

Or hell, just reach out and I'll GIVE you a download file. I know there's really no meaningful way to resist the encroachment of Payment Processors aside from crypto currency, and...no thank you, I learned my lesson about that back in 2020.

My games, Branded for Sacrifice, and Tarot: Major Arcana, are both available for purchase on my blog, linked below and in my bio, for anyone who wants to check them out without giving money to certain websites that acquiesce to pressure by nazi groups masquerading as feminists. #indiegames

Regarding my below post thread, if you also think Peter Thiel shouldn't be able to unilaterally control what you can or can't buy, consider signing the above petitions.

The free games, Death Stranding and Chocobo Rancher Demo, will stay up. But let me know here if you're interested and I'll provide a download link, rather than going to itch.

Thank you.

My games aren't among the removed, but I'm taking them off itch, and going to check other options.

Still working on a Steam release for Branded, but that's not ideal either, as they've been removing adult games as well, under the pretext of "fetish". Purity culture is. Fucking cancerous.

24.07.2025 11:21 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Well itch killed the adult games tag, capitulating to extortion by their payment processors and their assault on free speech. I shouldn't have to explain why removing "just a bunch of gooner" games is terrible: credit card companies have less than 0 business saying what art can/can't be sold.

The banning of pornography always, always ends with the forced removal of queer and trans people from anything remotely resembling public life. it is an attempt to keep us impoverished, to keep us desperate, to alienate us from each other and our communities.

I drafted a table display/poster for an upcoming convention I'll be attending (Fantasy Forge in Pigeon Forge, TN, info in the thread). Any thoughts or comments on the layout? I'm still tinkering with designs before shopping printers. #indieauthors #writing #marketing #graphicdesignismypassion

Oh hear that, they promise. We're all good then guys, they promised they wouldn't keep the data.

What are we talking, like pinky swears? Cross-your-hearts? Fuck yourselves.

I haven't posted much lately. Stayed up till 1am the other night watch a My Chemical Romance Livestream and had to recover from the grief of no new album

Thank you for your understanding in this trying time.

In hindsight, maybe the sequence I just wrote this chapter is *too* horny.

The Scheming Eunuch who serves as my advisor, poisoning my judgement: No, my leige. The people yearn for it. You must give them what they want...

Me, nodding back: Yes, of course...

If you feel like this, it's the fascism eroding at your brain because at some level, you are constantly in survival mode at every waking moment.

The brain is not meant to do that, it's why children in abusive/neglectful homes develop CPTSD.
