this is the same theater where we hosted @chucktingle.bsky.social lmao

Reseña de CAMP DAMASCUS de Chuck Tingle @chucktingle.bsky.social y publicada por Obscura Editorial @obscuraed.bsky.social (2025) | Ep. 3×025 | "Entre visiones perturbadoras y verdades enterradas, el autor firma un debut de horror que incomoda y libera.": distopolis.com/resena-de-ca...

cover of POUNDED IN THE BUTT BY THE CRUSHING EXISTENTIAL WEIGHT OF SENTIENT SELF-AWARENESS with a shirtless buckaroo on the left and on the right is a tornado of questions like 'why am i here?' and 'what is time?'

sometimes it is hard to exist and thats okay bud. we all get overwhelmed by big thoughts and big feelings, and acknowledging this universal trot is something that brings us together and makes us human. even in overwhelming times you prove love by simply being you

The front cover of Straight: a novella from two-time Huge Award finalist Chuck Tingle

Just finished reading Straight by @chucktingle.bsky.social
Queer culture and the danger of straights who care nothing for our safety, and fairweather allies who abandon the fight when things get tough put a very relevant spin on the classic zombie apocalypse.
Would highly recommend!

I REALLY LIKE WRITING IT IS COOL AND FUN

i mean it was only number 15 on the USA today bestseller list, brought all of my traditionally published books back onto the list and stayed there for like 6 weeks but OTHER THAN THAT

favorite one of these author scam emails i have gotten lately was on last tuesday the subject was 'readers arent noticing lucky day' and i thought 'i dont know about that, robot, it was nominated for a goodreads award today what else do you want from me?'

meme comic of someone pushing two buttons at once the first button says 'gratitude for this timeline on a grand cosmic level’ and second says 'understanding it still takes work to make it better.' the last panel is a bud giving a thumbs up and he is labled 'buckaroos proving love is real'

buckaroos know this classic way

Started Camp Damascus by @chucktingle.bsky.social. Only about 10% through and already ANGRY.

The number of time I've been told "You know how you can get," makes this one hit so very close to home. 📚💙

VALLEY BUCKAROOS TROT ON

meme of text screenshot that says 'this could be us but you plain' then a photo of a buckaroo couple with a handsome corn behind them givin the eye' then they say 'shit sorry wrong number' but the person being texted says 'wait lets talk'

wait

based on ones i have seen i would rank them as follows (ive enjoyed all his movies so even the bottom of list is good to me) also i know this will be controversial because my ranking is unconventional but here we go

5 GRETEL & HANSEL
4 LONGLEGS
3 KEEPER
2 THE BLACKCOATS DAUGHTER
1 THE MONKEY

i have seen mixed reviews for KEEPER and having just returned from theater i am so confused by this reaction. i absolutely loved it. so dang good

honestly i think it depends. some folks put on a mask to become someone else and that is their art. others put on a mask to be even more of themselves and that is their art. i would say i am the latter, but i think some artists are the former it really depends

this is such a kind message thank you buckaroo i am glad our timelines have crossed in this way. really beautiful words and story thank you

i was thinking of this comparison and couldnt find the words but yes exactly. 'i have just tricked the world into thinking im gay by marrying this man and on our forty year anniversary i cant wait to see his face when i tell him it was a clever prank'

anyway thats my thought while i take my writing break this afternoon. it is okay if that is or was your perception, i really do not mind and am thankful for however buckaroos interact with my art. theress no wrong way to trot with me if you are proving love the best you can. thank you buckaroos

yes this is a very good point. i agree

great question: no, my work is not fundamentally satirical. some tinglers function as satire of specific subject they are talking on, but as an overall theme where of people saying 'chucks erotica is trying to be ridiculous' or 'so bad its good' then no, not farcical at all. zero percent a joke

you could also write a whole can thesis about how straight authors who dabble in surrealist erotic thats just as 'out there' as mine is, like alan moore or nicholson baker, are perceived, vs a queer author doing it. i think thats probably a huge factor as well (also not a slight, love their work)

to be honest if we wanna dive REALLY deep, the answer is obvious: it has more to do with the ones doubting the possibility of sincerity. it is very difficult to fathom someones sincerity if youve slathered yourself in irony for ages and ages. this is not intended as a slight. i feel for those buds

at that point even if some buckaroo was like 'hey check out this HILARIOUS BIT where i had where i wrote 400 books of surrealist erotica over 10 years' everyone would just be like 'bud... i am not sure what to tell you. i dont think thats a bit.'

always fascinated by idea that i am not being sincere or that my tinglers are a joke or that this is a 'bit'. on one hand i get it because my art is BY DEFINITION unusual, but i just think WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE? what would me being 'fake' even mean? imagine writing 400 books over 10 years for a 'bit'

Hardback cope of Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle.

Some reading while on standby at work today. A chapter in and @chucktingle.bsky.social perfectly handles that existential dread of big revelations to parents and the fallout of disapproval.

@chucktingle.bsky.social is working on new bestseller, I see.

i have recently discovered mochi donuts and they are total game changer in the donut world as far as i am concerned
