Testing some options for the comic I'm planning... I did up this earlier solid fill/gradients version with limited color accents that (is overworked lol) looks nice digitally but doesn't print well, so now I'm trying out tones... it's hard working with such limitations, but I wanna try it out-!!

I read the one up on AO3 and one of my favorite parts was Carmine’s backstory, it was beautifully written and brought a lot of depth and context to his character. Also LOTS of dead dove smut. Mind the tags, if it’s your thing I highly recommend it. Also also lots of wonderful art ❤️

ANTIPATHY Book 1 is now available in print!! This 400-page dark kink M/M fantasy story about a vampire slave fighting for his survival includes OVER 50 ILLUSTRATIONS and a LOT of noncon and whump! For fans of hurt/no comfort! 🔗 to print books below!! #indiebooks #nsfw

Happy #yaoiday!!!! Here's my contribution, I'm working on a fresh new toxic yaoi hatefuck comic with my OCs Carmine and Vinh, so here's the finished lineart!! These two love to hate each other 😆

AHHHHHHHH absolutely DELIGHTED by my amazing package from @runny.bsky.social!!!! I'm so so happy to finally own my own copy of A Lesson On Drowning, and the bonus zines and sketch and the TILLY KEYCHAIN ARE SO FLIPPIN' COOL I'M GONNA YELL!!! Runny makes such awesome comics and zines, check em out!!

Very excited to get my hands on my very own copy of @boneyhag.bsky.social's incredible Adhocracy!!!! I loved this comic so much, the whole setup and the banter and the noncon were all sooooo good hehehehe this one's such a delight and I cannot wait for more-!!! 🥰💕

If anyone's looking for Toxic Yuri then you've got to check out my absolute favorite, The Wicked and the Willing by Lianyu Tan!!! It's an F/F vampire novel that's not afraid to go all the way, with some of the hottest sex scenes I've read and plenty of delicious noncon and gore to go with!! 🩸💕

This, exactly!! I never like romance because it just feels so boring unless it's saying a lot more about the characters somehow, so I like when relationships are more about obsession/desperation to be loved, or all about controlling others, or realizing someone never loved you at all--heheheheh...

people who only think of shipping as romance cannot even conceive as shipping as thriller, shipping as horror, shipping as character study. very limiting worldview. you should expand your palate.

Chapter 45 is finally up!!!! Ahhhhh I love returning to my idiot idiot son Vinh.... he's so stupid... :') Still experimenting hard with painting, it's a pretty simple illustration but I hope you guys all enjoy-! archiveofourown.org/works/340286...

piamo🌸@piamo.bsky.social · last mo.

missed @ddmarket.online this year and didn't get a chance to read my novella about getting high and wormfucked? now u can grab it on itchio! piamobirb.itch.io/excoriate readers are saying: - "can'ts top erading it" - "my stomach is turning now" - "that was a story" - "i have to go take a walk"

Can't stress enough how important it is to be boosting each other up and sharing our works with each other!! It's also just such a fulfilling feeling to be able to help get others' works out there to audiences that might not have found them otherwise, every comment/recc helps more than you know!!

this year & all future years should be the time where we start putting in the effort to reading the works of small creators and talk about them to all our friends and also strangers. most of the recs for work i love ive gotten from people who know me and my tastes really well, not a trending ig reel

hate to be a realist on main but jesus christ, scoob i can't stress enough, the best way to help an indie artist is to REC THE WORK. i have literally never in my life gotten a new subscriber by saying "i'm too poor to live" but i DO get new readers when someone excitedly reviews my books

Some @ddmarket.online Don and Hardy fanart!!!!!! This was a collaboration with the incredible @bisexualvending.bsky.social , thank you so much for elevating my lineart with your absolutely amazing colors and shading!!! I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist making it noncon...... 😂 #NSFW

Made in Blood by @marsadler.bsky.social is a slow-burn horror/thriller reminiscent of Annihilation that builds into SUCH a sensual and delightful climactic finale with the perfect amount of body horror and eroticism, what an ending, whoof, and what a wonderful trip!! 💕

Review of MADE IN BLOOD by @marsadler.bsky.social! why did I read this at NIGHT?! each page, much like the characters, brought me deeper into a world of gorgeous horrors. I could not predict what was ever happening, questioned truth, and wondered if it was ethical to start killing bees 💀 DD Market

Whitefish was such an enjoyable read!! The dynamic and the teasing/edging and denial were done sooooo well, the intimacy was so sensually written and the complex relationship and hatefuck vibes towards the end soooo tasty!! Very nicely done!

Mitch Miller ☆ 📼@astramachina.bsky.social · last mo.

oshit yeah. uh. happy father's day? 😩 synthandsyntax.itch.io/whitefish

A quick fanart of Don and Hardy that I did at @ddmarket.online because everybody inspired me. I hope the potions restock next year. 😏 ...i have no idea how to tag this one lmao #deaddove

It was my first time attending (and vending!!) at a digital market event like this, and it really blew me away with how much positivity and energy everyone brought to it!! Sincere thanks again to the incredible organizers for putting all of this together, this really feels like something special 💕

i finally finished book 1 and i’m so deeply attached to caim/carmine this is an amazing story and i love it @asterv.bsky.social thank you thank you thank you

first 3 chapters of antipathy by @asterv.bsky.social were already so selfindulgently nasty & violent - i cant believe theres 300 + pages of a proper perverts setting where angry boys get beaten AND railed whether they liked it or not waiting for me to read them all, with beautiful illustrations too
