The first fic I've written in a long time and actually been excited about. BG3, Dark Urge x Astarion, slow burn pre-canon AU that asks the question: what if two serial killers operating in the same area of the city had met before?
Warning for dark/explicit content, tags are more specific, but feel free to check it out :-)
Somewhere out there on a planet very far away is a civilization that has included our sun in a beloved constellation of some animal we couldn't dream up if we tried

For information about brands you can boycott and the summary of what the foreign agent law entails, click on the link above, which refers to my older post.
The government's escalating use of force and intimidation techniques during and outside of protests, such as threat phone calls, jumping people in the street, paying sportsmen to physically assault people. The police force has been using methods such as physical violence, torture, tear gas, rubber bullets, and water streams.
Along with boycotting, there is a big amount of Georgians emigrating from the country, and organizing protests in other countries.
Think about the resources and skills you have that you can use to help demonstrations on the ground and spread awareness on the issue. This might include your graphic design or copywriting skills, a large social media following - aid the protesters by spreading the word.
SHARE information that might be useful for protesters inside and outside of Georgia.
And most importantly donate, speak to people around you, and attend protests closeby to where you live. Some details of protests outside of Georgia and donation links will be listed below:
List of currently known international protests:
12/05 15:00 Venice Biennale Georgian Pavilion | Venice
12/05 15:00 Piazza Garibaldi | Naples
12/05 16:00 Placa de Catalunya | Barcelona

Another option is to support the OC Media fundraiser here:
Independent journalists are going to be hit hard by this law too, they've been directly targeted in previous protests, and will need protective gear and access to legal defence.
I know a lot is going on in the world right now but this kind of loss of art is breaking my heart in two.
The Valentino’s Costume Group in Hollywood has lost everything after the death of their co-founder, the pandemic, strikes, etc. and is now being forced to do a very quick liquidation sale before having to send all of their years of hard work to be turned into rags. (Yes this is a real thing)
These people have crafted thousands of costumes over 20 years to rent to everyone and anyone who needed one. They’re sex worker and queer friendly. They’re also being accused of being “fast fashion” while being one of the few places in this world actively working against fast fashion with their work. They don’t want to have to turn their hard work into rags. It’s the only option for them with the enormous amount of costumes/fabrics they have to remove from the building very quickly.
Where: 5535 CAHUENGA BLVD, N. HOLLYWOOD
Phone: 818-427-5248
Special hours for Influencers: May 20-30th 9:30am-4:30pm MON-SUN
What: Vintage, designer, menswear, historical, specialty, children’s, shoes, jewelry, vintage hats, show packages, racks, fabric, etc!
Important note: Please be kind and patient with the folks managing this sale. There’s maybe 2-3 people working at the most, and they all just suffered the death of someone close to them and the loss of their dream.
Please, please signal boost this. Their hard work should not go to waste and this terrible loss is already hard enough on them.
they're building "workforce housing" in my area
company towns 2.0
some of it is right next to the grocery store I work at. imagine moving there and your manager shows up at your door when you call out sick
oh my god will liberals in the notes justifying this shut the fuck up? they are building workplace housing in my area TO COMPENSATE FOR UNPAID WAGES. it's part of a larger trend in accepting poverty into business models rather than raising wages and improving working conditions, which is VERY concerning. these jobs--the ones catering to those in workplace housing--pay so little some of my coworkers are borderline homeless.
THIS HOUSING IS RIGHT NEXT TO PLACES OF EMPLOYMENT THAT UNDERPAY AND MISTREAT EMPLOYEES ON PURPOSE. THEY DON'T WANT ADVANCEMENT.
it's NOT affordable either, it's "affordable" compared to INSANELY OVERPRICED PLACES, but by dividing it developers can easily trick people into thinking they got a deal.
To anyone defending this, go fuck yourself. Do you realize how awful this is?
Now if you quit your job you not only don't have health insurance, you're fucking homeless. This is coal camps 2.0. This is indentured fucking servitude.

People do not see masculinity as being as fluid and complex and nuanced as femininity and it’s annoying as hell. Because of patriarchy’s stranglehold on masculinity and radfem theory’s stranglehold on queer spaces, people really think with their whole heart that only femininity is subversive or experimental, or frankly, queer, and that masculinity is only a power grab and nothing more. Embarrassing!
Below is a bunch of writings from a variety of genders, cis and trans, on queer masculinity:
Female Masculinity by Jack Halberstam (book pdf)
Butch is a Noun by S. Bear Bergman (book pdf)
