werewolf body horror is under utilised- imagine pissing a guy off and his bones start rippling under his skin only to settle back as if nothing happened because he decided you werent worth it
NEW BENJI WHO IS THIS
(old ref under tha cut)
Hello, everyone!
I haven't posted original content in a long time. To be honest, I never really posted original content consistently. (And that's okay! That's not something you have to do, it's just something I'd like to be doing.)
Something I realized early on with my new therapist is that I have a lot of trauma surrounding finishing and sharing creative projects, especially written ones. We decided my first step in healing from that would be to write up a little booklet of 20 poems, and then share them. So, over the past few months, that's what I did!
I've formatted them in such a way that you can print them front and back and fold them into a little booklet! I've made it available to download on ko-fi (pay what you want, but you must donate at least $2 to access my transgender trauma). If I know you and we've talked before, you can message me here or on discord and I'll send you a copy!
If you've gotten this far, thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy!
Characters you would brush with a wet toothbrush to remind them of when they were a kitten being groomed by their mother cat
more stuff about becoming a god being inherently dehumanizing pls
too much focus on Ascension or becoming Greater not enough focus on what is Lost of you
you're not a person anymore, just a personification. you're a concept, an abstraction. all neatly defined boundaries and borders, none of the vagueries or blurring of lines or grey areas that come from being mortal.
you can never change, now. never grow or evolve, you are this, forever, stagnant. and the thing you've been made to embody might not even be your best trait.
it’s your phone background? oh my goodness i am so flattered 😮☺️
YES IT FITS PERFECTLY AND THE YELLOW IS SUCH A GOOD SHADE so now every time i open my phone im like "oh yellow :) oh hey marshall :)"
Sixteen-year-old Marshall Gardner is 1) straight-laced, 2) exacting, 3) judgemental, and 4) perfectionistic. And below the surface, kept hidden from the rest of the world, he’s 5) controlled by his obsessions and compulsions, 6) fixated on the number twelve, 7) hopelessly in love with his best (only) friend, and 8) horrendously imperfect.
He’s also 9) universally disliked, 10) the self-made enemy of the former GSA president, 11) just a little too easy to trick, and 12) in trouble.
a story in twelve parts, ft. color symbolism, neurodivergent feelings, trans people, the “locked in a room with the person you hate” trope except it’s not enemies-to-lovers they just hate each other, & at least one ray bradbury reference.
AKA “the short story that got away from me and became 23k words,” AKA boy howdy have YOU ever wanted a twelfth night retelling that fully ignores the gayass love triangle that is the main appeal of twelfth night and focuses instead on the irrelevant background characters and their silly little subplot??? have i got the novella for you!
duodecimal is entirely free & being released in full! all 23k words of it. links & content warnings under the cut.
oh, now that I have some time: I did an art piece partially inspired by this story a couple months back! It was for a class exercise, so it’s not typical fanart as such, but it’s really, really obvious what I was thinking about when I made it:
detail:
i read duodecimal by @goose-books on thursday and pretty much haven’t stopped thinking about it since. anyway i had to draw marshall.. i went off of a picrew i found in the duodecimal tag! the skirt and fishnets are obviously in the text, and there was nothing about the shirt that i could find so i just picked something ❤️
[id: a digital drawing of marshall gardner from duodecimal. marshall is a teenage boy with blonde hair wearing glasses. he is not smiling. he is wearing a white button down shirt, a yellow pleated skirt, and black fishnets. the background is a paler yellow. end id]
