Just realized I didn’t make a post about the update, so here goes. Not a lot of fighting, but a lot of talking in this one, because Aguni didn’t deserve to be just another punching bag on their list.

No it doesn't count as Child Crying, it is its own form of suffering.
Pros of writing gay relationships:
- gay
Cons of writing gay relationships:
- they both have THE SAME FCKIN PRONOUNS SO I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO NAME BOTH CHARACTERS BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHO’S DOING WHAT OR WHO’S SPEAKING WHO WILL SAVE ME FROM THIS HELL
I CAN’T BELIEVE THERE’S A POST ABOUT THIS. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.
Worst way to deal with this: use epithets (the taller man, the blonde) DO NOT
Best way to deal with this: Use the pronouns a teensy bit more than you maybe feel is sufficient. Leave the fic for two days before editing (i.e. allow yourself to forget it a little). Come back and re-read. If at any point YOU can’t tell who’s doing what to whom, put names in. Leave the rest of the pronouns.
Also, for dialogue: use characterization instead of names. Let it be clear by the things that are said, the way they are said, who is saying them.
Readers are smart, let them infer sometimes. :)
So many people have asked me about this when writing same-sex relationships. I’ve been looking for this post for so long, I hope it helps, darlings!
Hey look! It’s exactly what I was talking about during the stream!
Also using proper grammar format (i.e. Using new paragraphs for different speakers) will help the confusion a lot

the environment:
Job description: relaxed atmosphere where we’re family, not coworkers, providing friendly service for wonderful clientele, positive vibes abound
The Vibes:
Some of you don't have firm principles that transcend ideology, and it shows.
"Spreading blatant misinformation is okay when it supports a cause I care about, and if anybody corrects me, it means they do not share my values." 🤡
"Police brutality is okay if it's being carried out by a government ascribing to my preferred political philosophy." 🤡
"If this person has harmful views, then my criticism of them can't be [racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/antisemitic/Islamophobic/classist/ableist/etc]." 🤡
Like, please, I'm begging you guys to invest in some basic standards.
Do I want to take revenge on the police officers who murder people with impunity, on the billionaires who cash in on exploitation and gentrification, on the bigots who harass and dox people? Yes, of course I do. They have killed people I knew; they are trying to destroy everything I love. When I think about the harm that they are causing, I feel ready to break their bones, to kill them with my bare hands.
But that desire is distinct from my politics. I can want something without having to reverse-engineer a political justification for it. I can want something and choose not to pursue it, if I want something else even more—in this case, an anarchist revolution that is not based in revenge. I don’t judge other people for wanting revenge, especially if they have been through worse than I have. But I also don’t confuse that desire with a proposal for liberation.
I always figured the babies had such serious faces because they were learning so hard. Like, learning to dance(for a baby) is just another skill like learning to hold a spoon or throw a ball.
Babies do not understand the relative utility of the skills they are learning so must approach all with the same level of intensity
I cannot believe I’m only 10k words away from writing the end of this 5k fic
And the sequel, after 100k words, I’m finally less than 5k away from finishing this 5k fic
I’m way behind on Tumblr. Barely keeping up on tiktok with Butch positivity.
Relationships that have real king/lionheart energy, that whole “I have sworn myself wholly to you, I am your sword arm, I am your dog” to someone else’s “you are the one person in this world I can rely on, and I am both bolstered and burdened by your absolute faith in me” vibe, but it’s in circumstances that are like. so low stakes. Manger of a movie theater/the one usher who doesn’t smoke weed at work.
Admittedly, when I first saw this headline, my immediate thought was, "yeah, no shit," but it's good to have studies giving hard numbers. It also makes me feel a little better, weirdly, because at least our struggles with rent aren't just because we suck at money or something. It's the system, not the individual.

You’ve talked in the past about patreon’s anti-horny policies, and how they impact creator’s income streams, and so I thought maybe this could be of interest to you/others in that situation. Someone is trying to put together a collective legal action against Mastercard. https://x.com/pom_poison/status/1768753517651546540?s=46&t=366EMtqp8Vh2MIY7oWvoKw Please also feel free to ignore me! But it seemed neat.
PS I love your book, thank you for the excellent words!
Thank you so much! And thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Hey, gang, this isn't just for creators to sign. There's an option for, "I consume adult content, and I'm sick of this shit."
forgot that you can’t add a video to reblogs, but here’s the final cut of my Gandalf Big Naturals cosplay
