Chuck, as an autistic bud myself I'm having a little trouble understanding something and I hope you can explain. If your tinglers (Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt) aren't jokes, then... am I an asshole for laughing? Like--I find them funny. But if they aren't jokes then they aren't meant to be funny and I shouldn't be laughing. I don't mean to laugh at your sincerity. I feel bad for laughing at something if it isn't intended to be a joke/humor. Am I being a jackass? Or am I missing something?

this is a GREAT QUESTION thank you for asking.

you are welcome to laugh at tinglers and i understand what some folks find funny about them. i often LEAN INTO these elements because it brings joy.

all of that said, i PERSONALLY do not find them funny nor is the point of them to be a comedy. there may be laughter along the way, but it is not their CENTRAL GOAL to elicit laughter.

i think of them as magical, joyful, strange, sexy, cute, sweet, absurd. i would put them in the category of magical realism or surrealist erotica. 

but i personally do not find them funny.

thats just me though, buckaroos can take them however they want, thats the great thing about art. YOUR WAY PROVES LOVE TOO so feel free to laugh bud

GREAT follow up question on tumblr about me saying 'i am not doing a bit and my work is not some big joke'. someone asked is it okay to laugh at tinglers since they are not a joke which is very kind and thoughtful, but yes you certainly can. FULL ANWSER HERE www.tumblr.com/drchucktingl...

Before opening Book 2 of @andrewvanwey.bsky.social's series, I returned to Greywood Bay via Tom Jordan's vocal talents.

A top-notch iteration w/ chilling cadences and emotional gravitas for fans of Stranger Things & Lovecraft.

Whether reading or listening, prepare for the light of the dead star.

Elric, The Village Stuck Between A Rock And A Hard Place β€” AJ Humphreys A beautiful speculative dark fantasy novel that deals with the ramifications of generational trauma and parental abuse in a small fantastical village teaming with magic and mystery.

Haven't had the pleasure of enjoying @cassandracelia.bsky.social 's "The Elric Undoing"? Well, I loved it. Cassandra was kind enough to speak with me about her speculative-gothic-dark fantasy novel!

And she gave me a signed copy to giveaway...

"Fine Dying"- a serial whodunnit I wrote for Kindle Vella, but never finished, so I ask;

"is this a story you want to see finished?"

I love whodunnits, but it's not my typical genre...

Read the 1st 10 chapters free and let me know if it should survive! www.patreon.com/collection/1...
