God. Damn. Love me some good freaking showmanship.

THE CAPE. THE HAT. THE BEADED PANEL ON THE TROUSER. FRICK YES Y’ALL

THIS is what I’m talking about! And the cape over top ala Talley?? Can he take over for Anna Wintour? Please??

For the first time in a decade, it feels like the majority of the Met Gala attendants came to fucking play. It is glorious 😍 (there are still clunkers, but they probably know who they are.)

If you missed this, run don’t walk

We will be attending @yallwest.bsky.social this weekend! We Need Diverse Books will be at Booth 203, located on “Freedom Walk” nearest to the entrance by 7th and Michigan! Learn more about the festival on YallWest's website: 💻 yallwest.com

A little snippet for #wipwednesday before it’s actually Thursday… some Peaky Blinders AU, anyone? (inspired by a comic piece done by @somethingels.bsky.social a few months ago)

Coming in October 2025: CINDER HOUSE, a queer Gothic retelling of Cinderella in which our titular character is a very frustrated ghost! 🔥 Fire, skeletons, fairies, intense epistolary friendships, and lots of feelings about ballet. Preorder US - bit.ly/CH-buyUS Preorder UK - bit.ly/CH-buyUK

So close to you #rwrb #firstprince

The brain! It finally has written something!!!

I start to feel bad about taking so long, and then I go back and review, and remind myself that I wrote a whole hell of a lot last year; and that this year is emotionally, physically, and mentally stressful. So finishing one long thing can be good enough. Taking my time is what’s needed 💜

This was supposed to be 6 chapters. something happened

Going to have to start doing this, unfortunately. The fun of fanfiction has been keeping it free and open for every one, but this is just too pervasive to keep shrugging off… People, misunderstanding the point. Shame. Shame!!

The amount of psychical damage that hath been wrought by one “you’d make more friends if you stopped acting so smart” roughly 12 years ago … le sigh…
