I'm quiet on here right now mostly because I'm working on perhaps our most horrific and depressing story yet. Cheers

Just saw Western animation and itchio described as "masculine spaces" in contrast to ao3 and the publishing industry as "feminine spaces" to explain why f/f happens more in the former than the latter. Tell me more about how male-socialized lesbianism is

Nolans Odyssey is pissing off exactly the right kind of people. Most people who truly love the classics understand adaptation is part of, not opposed to preservation. Perhaps the most beautiful thing Nolan does is challenge the central idea of the Odyssey: that home is fixed, forever waiting for you
It's not "too woke" to say that straight men who rape women should be reviled for being rapists, not tarred as secretly queer. To imply they're gay, or that they wear dresses, to distance them from manhood, is to insist that their violence is "deviant" rather than utterly banal and normative.
I can't watch The Odyssey. Not because of anything weird like casting and such, but because Odysseus isn't a sub butch trans lesbian in a world full of TMA & TME lesbians Redoing the myths without eliminating cis men entirely? It's like what are we even doing here does anyone care about art anymore
Gunmetal Olympus, a world of sicko lesbians, mechs, and Greek myth retellings created by @callistokhan.bsky.social, @devi.bsky.social, and @benjanun.bsky.social.
a lot of trans people have this theory of mind of trans women that operates as "everything a trans woman does is informed by the misogyny towards cis women that they internalized from a young age but i am personally immune to"
It would behoove people who care about the moral character of artists to look beyond the first page of Google or AI results. Sensationalized hit pieces written by powerful white people about women of color are not evidence of anything but racism.
This has always bothered me which is why the sex scenes in PE are so unhinged lmao
The concept was having dialogue like “if I had my strap, I’d rail you senseless right now” or “I should spank you red”, but neither strapping or spanking happens, even in books with explicit - but usually vanilla - sex on page. The reader is baited with implications that never play out erotically.
Woman? Oh no haha that's my mother's gender. I'm a lesbian, like my father before me.
One thing we can't do with GO is yuri bait since there's only one man and he's in a gay t4t relationship. We will continue, however, to femme4femme bait because we think it's hilarious.
Look at Kamiina Botan, so many people think it's bait, because Ibuki didn't say "I am in a lesbian relationship with Kamiina Botan", despite it being clear that they were in a relationship.
Imagine doing the opposite like waves of comments on every cis persons Instagram selfies just saying "it's not okay to be cis"
Commenting "its ok to be cis" to a trans woman is so unhinged and low-key bigoted. Like, we are well aware it is "ok" to be cis; there aren't entire institutions trying to erase cis people. Maybe stop centering literally everything around the comfort of cis people for once and just let us speak
Two years ago, @devi.bsky.social and I published The Hades Calculus. To mark its second anniversary, we're discounting the book by 70%--just $2.09! Enter the world of cannibalistic lesbians, giant mecha, Greek gods and the giant monsters that besiege them. No monstrosity or cruelty is too far to win
The Hades Calculus by Maria Ying
Hades/Persephone retelling with giant mecha

GO is now twice as old as Persephone lmao

The cannibalism and mass dehumanization of clones and programmed child abuse in GO is fine but i think i draw the line at all the hot lesbian sex :///
Me reading HC: "this Adrastus guy is probably going to suck right" Me reading MoO and PE:
Siproites x Adrastus Hephaestus x Persephone Zeus x Hera
Problematic gender-gap relationship
happy birthday america can we try something else now
"you can't just call everything hetslop" you're right. hetgem exists, but it must fall into these categories 1) she kills and eats him 2) protracted divorce where they drag the beautiful dying corpse of their relationship around 3) doomed from the start 4) they both transition
