Money Susie please, gimme some cash
Welp. Here we go-
I would say “make you launder the money after Money Susie gives it to you,” but I don’t think it would come across well.
So.... I think we left off with how exactly did I end up sucking the soul out of his dick in the back seat of those big ass Uber trucks with all our friends in the front on the night we met.
Well the answer lies in the fact that yes you guessed it..... apparently I’m a whole ass hoe when the time is right and the man is fine af
I would like to give context because I feel like there is some judgement going around.
I was in Montreal for my birthday. It was my second time there the first being my best friends birthday 5 months prior. I fell in LOVE with the city on her birthday trip and was dying to go back.
I was very much single. Had been flown out with my best friend by a guy that promised both us a good time and free hotel and the works (spa, dinner, shopping) for the both of us. In exchange for some alone time with me.... which never really happened because you guessed it I ended up meeting my husband.
I mean we did get all the perks of a free trip up there but things didn’t go as planned with the vibes from the original guy so I started posting on Snapchat which in Canada has always been good luck for me as far as meeting people who will take me out and show me around their city with my friends.
Full disclosure. I realize how dangerous this all sounds now...but bitch I’m happily married... and I know you’re just staying tune for the juicy shit coming so let’s focus on the facts.
I always go everywhere with some type of weapon and I always go with friends so I felt safe and comforted by reckless youth and power of my wet ass pussy. Protip for scamming men for all my single ladies is always be ready to take care of yourself! Even when it comes to money. Men say they are going to do XYZ but always have a back up plan and expenses to cover anything you might need on a trip JUST in case.
So BACK to the point and how I ended up in the predicament in the Uber. Keep in mind I don’t speak a lick of French at the time. But this very handsome man pops up on my Snapchat speaking to me in French and English. First snap - French. Second snap - translation.
I couldn’t gauge what race he was but he was asking me if I’d want to meet him and his friends later at this club called “Apt. 200” for drinks. I’m originally like.... hmm 🤔🧐🧐 perhaps... quickly google the club because at this point snaps are coming in left and right with propositions for that same night.
I’m not going to lie though something about his eyes and smile... they had a certain “je ne sais quoi” maybe ? Michevious, energetic, adventurous, lustful. I couldn’t really place it but I replaid the snap. For sure replaid the snap. I know....very modern day romance.Then like the typical millennial scammer princess that I am I didn’t even send a video snap back... just responded with something that wasn’t a yes and wasn’t a no. Couldn’t fully comit yet. To early in the evening and also the story of my life.
So I’m headed to the mall picking out shit for the original guy who flew me in to pay for. I’m a woman though so I’m multitasking and already planning for how I want my night to go with some lucky bachelor (still haven’t decided on who)... time flies when you’re shopping and before I know it I’m back at the hotel like shit.... never confirmed with anyone?!
Luckily we had two bottles of champagne with our names on it at the hotel so we are drinking... getting dressed... blasting music and watching YouTube videos with no where to go as of yet. I finally get serious 😤 and start vetting a couple of these potentials - cross referencing their social media accounts... playing CSI meets your crazy ex-girlfriend trying to guage if they could really show us a good time as a bitch is use to a certain lifestyle when I go out (PRE-Covid of course).
In between the furious typing and searching the same guy pops up asking me about the club and telling me they are all meeting up at his house to do drink before and then heading out together. Okay... so my original thought is NO. I’m not going to your fucking house. So HE’S out. I’ve seen dateline... shit every girls worst fear is being chopped up into tiny bite size pieces or chained to someone’s furnace in a foreign fucking country. No.... no... absolutely not.
But we all no that he ends up in my guts at the end of this longgggggg ass night so clearly I went with the little devil on my ear and not the angel
So I need to mention that it is New Years. So clubs are extremely hard to get into or they want like your first born child and your left areola to put down as a deposit. So I only want to fuck with people who know the city well enough to get us in a good spot for the night as it’s my birthday weekend. Why should I pay for shit? Exactly. You get it! So im going back and forth with this guy about why I’m not coming to get voluntarily murdered in his home (when he’s probably the leader of a cult) and insisting we meet AT the club. NOT at his house. The problem is like every time I redirect him he’s like yeah...so like I’ll see you at my house in like an hour..... bitch?!? What? No we just clarified the club? What?
Idk if it was the champagne, my best friend egging me on - and very suprisingly being down to go, the fact it was my birthday, the couple videos snaps with his house with a good amount of people, the thick French accent - gorgeous smile or his jawline I needed to get a closer view of (for scientific purposes) but after MUCH reasursance and him being very mature to ask me about my reservations (and vehemently denying he was a cult leader, rapist or murder) I decided to meet up with him and his friends in downtown Montreal at his home.
It’s freezing cold BTW, like I know people always say Canada is cold but like MY god everytime I’ve gone there I’m pretty sure if you nutted outside in the winter on some voyerism shit you better use a condom because for months on end that sperm is viable and frozen solid as soon as it leaves your dick hole. It’s life altering cold. Soul snatching. Wig freezing cold outside. It was snowing too and although I can’t stand the cold something about Montreal In the snow is really beautiful and scenic.
So enough with the painting the scene... we hop out the Uber and mind you I’m not really sure of this mans entire name... I’m literally like going on a whim and good vibe here and we pull up to his house (beautiful) and very on brand with my taste and he immediately comes outside when I text him I’m here because it’s snowing and comes and gets us from the Uber.
Keep in mind I’m not prepared for what I’m seeing here guys because I’ve only seen small videos of him and videos don’t do anyone justice. Especially men... they barely know their angles and shit... poor creatures. So when I tell you I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR HOW FINE THIS MAN WAS. Like............... Bitchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
6’4- 200 something pounds - tan - built almost all muscles with just the right amount of pudge - full dark thick ass beard and full curly head of hair - hazelnut/brown eyes - smells like he can make you cum on command - smile like “ yes, daddy” AND bitch that accent.... that accent will get you every time! BITCH! you gotta be careful with these foreign hoes!!! That accent will have you acting the FUCK out. Take it from me because when I saw him for the first time through the Uber... I was sober as fuck all of a sudden trying to get my composure together.... like nah.... I’mma have to do something about this one RIGHT HERE.
I tell my husband all the time that he is truly the real scammer in our relationship because he did not have to look that good or go that hard on my feelings or my pussy that night. He’s truly the evil mastermind. Ladies, once again! You’ve got to keep your guard up at all times because it’s when you are LEAST expecting it that is when a man is going to come and change your whole life around. I had ZERO plans on getting wifed or fucked that night. I was actually enjoying being single for about two years and was really feeling adamant about remaining that way for a while longer. And here HE comes. Looking and smelling like 🥺🥺😰😥😓🥴🤤🤤🤤🤤 bitch you’re about to risk it all aren’t you?!? Yes hoe...... of course I am. So anyway, he’s all French rushing us into his place to get out the cold. Takes my and my friends jackets and shoes at the door. Kisses us both on the check twice and ushers us to the kitchen after introducing us to everyone. He’s asking us what we want to drink.... he’ll make us anything we want. I’m just staring this whole time..... like literally for the first time in my whole life I’m like..... very suspicious...
My pussy was doing a lot of the talking underneath my skirt but I was trying not to be soooo damn obvious about my literal savage attraction to him so I just watched him for the first hour and a half out the corner of my eye. He was chatting up my friend and his about everything under the damn sun and I’m just casually talking to his friends about “blah blah blah.... try to extract seedlings of info about this guy....blah blah blah” By this time we had watched him make our two very delicious drinks🍸 by hand himself and everyone was telling us how he’s literally a master at everything. Cooking, plants ( there was a 6’0 cactus and tons of well placed plants all over the house), music, animals....It’s like the whole little party both females and males could sense how apprehensive I was and were trying to reassure me with just a gush of compliments. I still had barely spoken to him at this point.... pussy was to wet I suppose and I was nervous I’d slip and fall trying to walk up to him. I don’t know if they have home owners insurance for those type of accidents in Canada so I figured I’d play it safe at sit at his bar answering his friends endless questions about NY and the states.
My best friend is staring at me like bitch wtf is wrong with you?!? Cuz on a normal night I’m usually the first one to walk straight up to a guy put my number in his phone... usually very bold. Take what I want type of girl but this evening I’m like legit a mute just staring at him like I’ve seen some type of optical allusion.
So he finally comes up to me (after I feel like deliberately playing coy) and we are across from each other at the bar and he’s asking me if I want another drink or something to eat maybe? I’m just like “ um, your house is really lovely. You did all the decor yourself?” LIKE BITCH WHAT?!? THIS IS NOT A DRILL?!? Why I was sitting there playing MS.HGTV I have no clue. So he laughs and he’s like “yes I did everything myself would you like a tour I can show you and your friend around if you’d like.” I’m like yes.... sure of course... anything to see what this mans bedroom looks like because in my head that’s where Imma be face down ass up later on.
At this point I have zero clue if he has like a girlfriend/wife or kids or a car or a job!?! all the usual questions I’d somehow sneak into the conversation are like a second thought to why when he talks and smiles I can literally not even focus on my own thoughts. My heart is beating like crazy and he takes me on the grand tour of his place which includes a full judo studio complete with a shit ton of weapons hung up on the wall, a big office and multiple plant and chill rooms... i peeped some marijuana plants 🌱 so now I’m even more intrigued like....? Who tf is this man? We get to his bedroom and at this point I’m pretty sure the liquor was starting to lower my inhibitions and I look at his big ass comfortable bed... and back at him.... and back at the bed and was like... “oh so this is where I’ll be sleeping tonight” and look dead at him like....
So I actually had to confirm that those were my EXACT words to him today as I’m trying to make this as historically accurate as possible. He did indeed confirm that I did NOT just say this in my head but after acting like “Ms.Mouse” all night I actually did come out my neck and look him directly in his eyes as we are standing in this grand doorway facing his massive bed and boldly insinuate that either A. He’d be sleeping on his own couch that night or B. He’d be sleeping with me and we both knew by that point that there was going to be about ZERO seconds of sleeping if he even stepped any closer to me. So I’m looking at him... looking at me... looking at him.... staring at me and we are both now inches away from each other lips... (idk how it happened maybe my pussy has a magnet attached to it). Being the gentleman that he is I can tell his body language is very much..........
And at this point I can feel my thighs sticking together (I personally never where panties it’s just bad for your pH ladies) because I can smell him and he smells like... bitch idk....just the father of my future children and yet he just smirks/smiles and in his thick accent is simply like “ yes, of course...whatever you want.” Now, two things. 1. You should never (under any circumstances) tell a bitch like ME “whatever you want” because sir... what I ACTUALLY want is for you to be fucking me in positions that would make any yoga instructor think I was born again as pretzel dough right this very second and for you to cum inside me on the night we met so we’re stuck together forever and I give birth 9 months later blissfully aware of how toxic that sounds but yet very happy that it all worked out for the best. 2. I’m dizzy at this point probably from dehydration
so I take a step back and ask him for some water because like I knew if his lips touched mine there was no way in HELL I’d be going anywhere that night except on my knees. So fast forward he’s walking me down the stairs talking about how tall the cactus is meanwhile the only thing I’m thinking about is how big his dick is... how I’m going to suppress my gag reflex and what kind of hoe bath I’m going to have to take the next day because bitch ain’t no way this man is not about to experience this WAP. I mean he made the mess so he should be the one to clean it up..... am I right?
I decided this is going to be a once a day update because - the thread is getting entirely too long and also I’m getting so many requests to finish it but I’m actually enjoying torturing you all. So where was I *ehem-*clears throat *-ehem* .... the walk downstairs must’ve cleared my head because all of a sudden I’m realizing how intrigued by this man I am. I mean, I’ve only been in his house for 2 hours and I’m already plotting on how I can keep him (like he’s a lost fucking puppy) when in the past 2 years I myself have been nortoriosuly hard to keep around. All of a sudden I’m like fantising about living in Montreal full time ... and how would that work with me having a whole medical license in the states... and I’d have to learn French....I’m a Capricorn so all of a sudden I’m like mapping out all these ways I could potentially make our relationship work using multiple Venn diagrams , pros vs.cons list and a lengthy series of algorithms with plans: D-F in case plans A throuh C just don’t work out for some ungodly reason.
When we finally transition back into the little mini party going on downstairs my best friend just stares at me like “bitch I already know you’re lost in the fucking sauce because you haven’t said shit to me about leaving since we got here” - we can read each other’s thoughts like that and I chose to ignore her uppity little glance. Instead, I’m hyper focused on this man now making fresh smoothies for half the guests as they had been out the night before (New Years Eve) and a couple of them had massive hangovers. More important than the delicious smoothies he had this magnetism about him where literally everywhere he went people just naturally followed him into every room. Whether he was looking for certain alcohol from this huge ass intricate French armoire or if he was expertly rolling a “spliff” quickly for a couple of the female guests I watched from a very comfortable seat in his living room as the party just naturally flowed and centered around him although he barely made anything about himself and he kept the conversation usually neutral to topics we could all discuss. He had this certain quality that was so fucking considerate too...making sure the whole conversation wasn’t in French and always checking in on my best friend who was by now discussing how she is a licensed sex therapist in the states and how “sex work is real work and should be decriminalized.”Meanwhile me?!? I’m usually very talkative and in the mix but that night was like slow motion - every 10 minutes or so our eyes would meet regardless of what nonsensical conversations we were having and I wouldn’t be able to break the glance without feeling nauseous. Finally someone asks for a refill of their drink and as he heads to his kitchen I ask “If I can come and help” - he smiled sooooooooooooooo big and says “yes, of course whatever you want” in his French ass accent. So now we are FINALLY alone in the kitchen and someone had turned the TV on so I felt like we could have 2 WHOLE ADULT MINUTES alone - as soon as we turn the corner there are two wildly different opinions as to what happened next... he swears he initiated it but I’m almost POSITIVE I was the one who felt like My entire clitoris would spontaneously combust if I didn’t kiss him right that fucking second. I can’t say I’d put in on my pussy that I was the one who started said wild, raunchy, passionate, I’m on the counter with my skirt up and his fingers are everywhere at once - oh this is definitely not your first time doing that..... how did you know that was my spot.... no you aren’t about to make me cum that quickly.... you’re going to be the death of me I can already tell session that followed but I’m PRETTTY FUCKING SURE IT WAS ME WHO KISSED HIM FIRST but
Either way it’s not long before he’s got me spread all the way out (like a French roast) on his kitchen island eating me out while I’m sucking/biting on his fingers so I don’t scream out his entire name (which BITCH btw I don’t even know fully yet) in the middle of the little soirée. In between tasting myself on his tounge he’s speaking to me in French and I’m trying so hard to understand but I do remember just saying over and over again “I know we’ve met before....”
And I really did feel that way.... you know that eerie feeling almost gut churning unsettling notion that you are about to redue something in your past you didn’t have a chance to get right or perhaps slightly miscalculated the first time? That was the vibration I felt from him the entire night. It was more than just his charming personality, sensational good looks or the way his hand gripped me as his tounge knew exactly which corner of my neck to caress to take me over the edge....
it was ALSO his soul, the way he spoke and cared about his friends, the way he doted on my best friend - a stranger just 2 hours prior, the way he thought before he spoke and yet how we all clung on to every word. Of course I can not accurately sum up all our conversation in the beginning of that night because If I did write everything out this thread would be an entire book. I just knew the chemistry was thicker than I hoped his dick would be and the minute I got him alone he couldn’t stop telling me in between the endless sea of kisses how he had been waiting for me his entire life.... that nothing else had worked for him relationship wise until that moment because he knew when I got out the car and out eyes locked that I was the woman of his dreams... that he wasn’t going to let me out of his site or lose me...this time. Tbh, I never really believed in love at first site or anything of that nature (I’m far to realistic, controlling and cynical as well as slightly neurotic about details) and I can’t honestly say the feelings were exactly the same for both of us when we first met. He describes seeing me as a forest fire that set his world ablaze and for me it was a slow simmer that boiled over when I least expected it... the kind that leaves you making a mess all over... speaking of mess back to the story..... at this point we are in the kitchen a full 15 minutes and although I’ve barely finished my first drink I’m giggling nervously trying to downplay all the emotions that inevitably come after an amazing orgasm with a complete stranger you may or may not have felt you were destained to be with. Thank the lord something possessed me to wear a skirt that night because clean up was relatively easy and although I was dying to fuck him.... I’m still a lady with morals so I’d have to wait at least a few more hours 😂.
Before we know it his friends are headed into the kitchen and he hands them their drinks (like he wasn’t just on his knees and in between my thighs just four minutes prior) My bestie comes in shortly after and she see’s my face and probably my slightly smeared lipgloss and she immediately whispers “ just couldn’t wait could you” to which I whispered back “ bitch, fuck you... I know you see what he looks like.”
To which she replies “ fuck THAT , you see what this house looks like?.... bitch priorities.” I rolled my eyes as we got all our stuff together and because for some odd reason everyone still wanted to head to the club when all I wanted to do was kick them all out the house that didn’t belong to me (yet, bitch) and ride his dick into the sunrise like at the end of an old western movie. Thus is the point when he calls one of those big ass uber trucks I so eloquently described in the very beginning of this fairytale raunchy af love story.
actually im just gonna make my own post about it: please read more webcomics. please try them. every time people make posts about “aw man i wish SOMEone would WRITE about FLAVOR OF QUEER THING/TRAUMA OR ABUSE BUT IN SPECIFIC WAYS I CAN RELATE TO/WHATEVER” and then it gets reblogged into a giant thread of people agreeing with it and demanding Content i die because whatever it is is definitely being painstakingly created by an indie author who would really like for people to consume it and every time i point this out people suddenly can’t read lmao
it is out there it is free it is being made from firsthand experiences by people who care very very deeply who would be DELIGHTED to hear that it’s resonating with anybody at all, please throw some of that enthusiasm and support at people who will actually appreciate it
if you’re an indie comic person and any of this applies to you i encourage you to reblog this with a link to your comic and a short synopsis so people can browse the notes and find shit they’re looking for. or make your own post on your own blog if you don’t want to fool with other people i don’t care this is a sign from the universe that you should be louder about what you’re working on because people can’t fucking find it apparently.
i’ll go first i make kidd commander and it’s about an ensemble cast of queers on their way to kill god, they live on an airship and they’re all too pissed off to die. it’s free to read and it’s in the middle of its third arc right now. it lives here http://kiddcommander.com/
go go go
on second thought gonna add if you’re a READER and you’ve had Feelings about a webcomic feel free to recommend it here too
In addition to Kidd Commander, I enjoy:
Dumbing of Age - semi-autobiographical webcomic by an ex-Christian fundamentalist; explores a wide bevy of social justice issues in more nuanced ways than I often see, especially in regards to abuse
Monster Pulse - A group of kids (some of them explicitly queer) have their body parts turn into monsters; great analyses of trauma and transhumanism
Leftover Soup - slice-of-life story about the most philosophically inclined 20somethings in the world, seriously they spiral off into fascinating discussions all the time, this is basically Having Difficult Conversations: The Webcomic; the opening is terrible but stick with it
Forward - I’m just gonna link to the author’s artist’s statement and you can decide for yourself if it’s for you
i follow a lot of podcasts, i can put together a curated list.
http://ohumanstar.com/ is incredible, it’s about trans robots (in minneapolis! not a huge plot point, but it’s where i’m from). it finished recently, so you can have a completed reading experience.
https://www.baldwinpage.com/spacetrawler/2010/01/01/spacetrawler-4/ spacetrawler started as the story of six humans kidnapped by an incompetent alien to help free the eebs, an enslaved alien race. it’s very good, sometimes it hits very hard. the first and second series are complete, the third series is updating currently.
http://www.rice-boy.com/see/ rice boy is a “brightly colored and surreal fantasy adventure story”. bittersweet chosen one stuff. also by the same author is the order of tales (completed) and vattu (on going, i think it’s near completion)
https://www.egscomics.com/ very queer cast of magical teens. starts out very rough, but that was 19 years ago. lots of gender transformation magic and magical hijinks, with a helping of tragic backstories and nerd stuff.
https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1 about a couple of weird magic british school children at a weird british boarding school. there are a couple chapters in particular that hit hard. also, it’s just very well drawn and written and it always updates MWF, which is more than most webcomics can say.
http://diggercomic.com/ digger is just a good comic, i should reread it again, it’s been awhile. it’s about a “take-no-nonsense” wombat who finds herself dealing with a talking buddha statue, a tribe of the best anthropomorphic hyenas you’ll see, and a dead god.
boy have i got good news for YOU
the good news is that on this list (to my limited knowledge) both my comic and gunnerkrigg court feature wlw protagonists!
the other good news is there are TONS of us working outside the aggregate sites, please please don’t assume those companies are indicative of everything going on in webcomics as a genre. my thoughts on that could fill a whole other post but i wanted to bring it up here at least.
I also just remembered there’s the website https://archivebinge.com , which is FANTASTIC if you’re looking for something specific. It’s limited by the fact that the creator needs to post the comic themself, but it’s got a great tagging system for both genres and content warnings:
and lets you know when new posts go up even on independent sites! Extremely useful for finding and reading a bunch of comics without taking agency from the creators.
i read a shitton of webcomics but here are my recs specifically for ones that aren’t on networks like hiveworks so they need more love (on mobile so sorry if formatting gets weird)
Softies i can’t summarize better than page one sorry. there’s a bit about a stubbed toe that will hit you like a freight train to the feels.
Job Satisfaction is slice of life about queers and demons and queer demons.
Radio Silence is a coming of age story about a British band on tour.
Ingress Adventuring Company is about Professor Toivo Kissa. He is an elf and he goes on adventures instead of doing his job, which is professoring.
Skin Deep is about a girl who goes to college and finds out she’s a sphinx (i feel like everyone reads skin deep but also not enough people read skin deep).
Sfeer Theory has a magical university for a very complicated magic system, if you’re into Lore.
Outliers takes place in a superhero world but these boys are just trying to be happily married in peace.
Some LGBT webcomics just off the top of my head
Muted - fantasy comic about a gay, poly witch in New Orleans.
Paranatural - All ages fantasy comic about middle schoolers who fight ghosts.
2 Slices - Classic, trope-y romance comic with a queer spin
Alice and the nighmare - Fantasy/sci-fi retelling of Alice in Wonderland.
Sleepless Domain - Magical Girl genre deconstruction. In a mysterious fantasy/sci-fi world where teenage girls sometimes have superpowers, how are those girls treated and valued? Content warning: This comic is usually pretty cute but has some serious violence early on.
Chaos Life - autobiographical slice-of-life comics about an agender illistrator and their gay, disabled wife.
Boy In Pink Earmuffs - All ages comic about two best friends who solve mysteries together and are also crushing on eachother.
Magical Boy - Fantasy comic about a trans boy who finds out he’s descended from a long line of magical girls and is destined to save the world. (tapas exclusive)
what’s up if you’re in the notes looking for recs you can’t see most of them because tumblr hides anything with a link in it, view this reblog to see a big ol’ list of webcomic links
Gonna rb so I remember to add on to this when I’m at my computer
Okay hi I’m here now! LGBT+ come get y’all’s juice
Roar Howl Run is a personal favorite of mine, it’s about an aroace rabbit, raised by wolves and a bear. really, anything by this author, Songdog, is great LGBT+ rep. cw for blood and animal death.
Long Way Down is about two strangers (one is trans, the other is either trans or enby) setting off in a zombie apocalypse to try and save the world. cw for minor gore and themes of suicide.
The Golden Rule is a lion king sequel fancomic featuring wlw lionesses. cw for incest (don’t worry, the couple I mentioned aren’t part of it).
White Tail is about deer during the apocalypse. no explicit lgbt characters but there’s no canon couples, so arospecs might get a kick out of it. cw for mentions of suicide.
Shinka: The Last Eevee is a pokemon comic about friendship and cults, with lots of LGBT+ characters and couples.
Trippingoveryou.com by @akasuzana
From the website,
TOY is a slice-of-life, comedy webcomic with a focus on LGBT+ themes!
Growing up is an awkward waltz. Tripping Over You follows Milo and Liam’s steps (and missteps) as they begin a hesitant relationship in their last year of highschool. They must learn to fold each other into their lives (in the midst of major life changes) with as much grace as they both can manage — which, admittedly, could be enormously more graceful. They stumble over each others’ feet while trial-and-error learning what it means to provide each other with a center point of balance.
@b3nc0 Have any other webcomic suggestions to add?
Thought of some more.
@sigeel - Linda Sejic (is it Šejić? That’s what popped up when I googled Stjepan to double check that spelling but it only seems to be that way when applied to him)
Has Punderworld, a retelling of the Hades/Persephone story. Lots of humor. (Side-note everything so far by the Sejic’s has lots of humor and it works for each story)
As well as BloodStain. An epicly sllllooow burn romantic comedy in a work place enviroment.
@nebezial-asheri Stjepan Sejic
Has Death Vigil. Reapers protecting the mortal realm.
These next 2 are 18+
Sunstone - Romance(s) and life of a group of people
Fineprint - Romance(s) and life of a group of individuals, some of whom are succubi/inccubi. This one is new and I don’t know if anything past the first few pages are up.
Shieldmadiens - Mechs fighting stuff. I’ve just seen what’s on here and that hasn’t revealed to much plot. I’m guessing if you liked Pacific Rim you might like this.
Sigeel and Nebezial-Asheri are husband and wife and a number of their works fall under the Sejic-Verse title (unofficial name as far as I know as I can’t currently think if anyone else has used the term). Besides definitely BloodStain and SunStone I’m not super sure what does and doesn’t though.
Fun fact most of their stories seem to have started as ‘warm-up’ sketches.
They both have patreons if you wish to support them/ learn more.
If you want to buy physical copies Sunstone has 7 volumes out now, volume 7 of 20 just came out last week. Bloodstain 3. Death Vigil 1. The first volume. Punderworld was just announced for release in August.
Please do look up better synopsis than what I have written here as I’m terrible at writing synopsis’s (synopsi?)
Their works can be found here on tumblr, their aforementioned patreon probably has them, and last I knew Deviantart.
To the Sejic’s my apologies for doing a terrible job here describing your works. I have done a hell of a lot better in person as I’m more coherent when rambling with my voice then I am typing.
Unrelated to all of that.
Megatokyo, started in August of 2000 and still going. Just recently decided to get back into it from the start since I’m not sure where I left off in 2008/9 because of work and life. If what I remember about it the term ‘a product of it’s time’ may very well apply to it.
Dominic Deegan Oracle for Hire. Completed fantasy series. Has a follow up series going.
I just remembered what this post was for and as far as I can remember these last two don’t fit it but since I haven’t re-read either one in years and the one is still going I’m going to leave them in case they do.

Happy pride month to the tiny cowboy and tiny Trojan man from Night at the Museum
This hands down the best comment in the notes, I will not be taking criticism.
Wait, there’s physical copies of Fallout Equestria? That’d have to be massive.
The first run was five hardbacks of progressively increasing girth. The stack is hefty, but the books are comfortable. Each chapter has chapter art too, which I consider a plus in all fantasy books.
Later runs were single-book softcover monstrosities. I think I saw another five-volume hardback run recently, but I’m not deeply involved in the fandom anymore.
The second print run was two volumes, hardback, with jackets. Dunno about any subsequent runs.
I still think the 5-volume split was the best option. It’s a big damn story.
(For anyone who hasn’t read it: yes, that’s a functional replica of the main character’s go-to weapon. No, I didn’t customize it like that; I bought it from the person who did.)
anon PLEASE tell me your teacher is the author of this
Ok, I Kind of hate that I know this, but I’m pretty sure that anon’s teacher did NOT write the books the others are showing off. He wrote the darker, edgier and somehow even longer fanfic OF that fanfic called Project Horizons.
Original Fallout Equestria was written by someone known as Kkat who I’m 90% sure is a woman and the story only has some PG-13ish scenes at worst (you know, aside from the violence and gore that comes with a Fallout setting.) Project Horizons was written by a guy known as Somber, who I remember him mentioning in the post-chapter notes that he got fired for failing the wrong student once and the fic itself includes multiple explicit sex scenes.
it’s important to me u know what the 3rd printing looks like. please note the gilded pages
one of tumblr’s secret trump cards is its ability to deliver absolutely OBLITERATING gut punches like this post without any context or warning whatsoever
that certainly is some content

If you listen, her tapping very much adds to the music.
Love this💗💗💗💗💗
That’s Emma O'Sullivan! She’s a famous tap dancer (all-Ireland champion) and you can see her often if you walk the streets of Galway, dancing in the street!
I’d just like to add (for non Irish people especially) that she isn’t actually a tap dancer but a sean nós dancer. Sean nós is a traditional Irish dance (sean nós means “the old way”) but it isn’t the same as the mainstream Irish dance which people would be familiar with. In mainstream Irish dance the dancers have carefully choreographed routines that need to be learned and replicated and keep a rigid upright position at all times. They either wear soft shoes which make no sound or hard shoes which make a tap sound which are worn for different types of dances. People can also usually recognise Irish dance pretty easily at a glance due to the extravagant colourful costumes, white “poodle” socks, white undershorts and heavy wigs and make up that the dancers wear at competitions.
Sean nós is a totally different type of dance separate to this mainstream “Irish dance”. It is a much more loose and free type of dance where the dancers always wear hard shoes since the sound of the feet is very important. There are a few basic moves (the “shuffle, shuffle stamp”, the “heel and toe” and the “slide and shuffle” being the basic foundation steps) but once you have the basics you can combine steps, free style and even make your own steps. You can move your hands and arms to the music unlike in mainstream Irish dance too. Sean nós is often seen as the sexier Irish dance as the dancers are allowed much greater hip and general body movement and can laugh and interact with the audience as they move. There are no particular costume rules for sean nós competitons. Unlike Irish dance, people can really wear whatever but the norm is comfortable and simple dresses or skirts or trouser/top combinations made up from whatever the dancer chooses from their own wardrobes, a huge contrast to the heavy Irish dance costumes and the expense and pageantry associated with them. Part of the appeal of sean nós is that it has not been commercialised and commodified to the degree that Irish dance has and has a much more casual and fun feel to it in contrast to the strict routines and costume norms of Irish dance.
The most skilled sean nós dancers are able to dance a “barrel dance” where they dance at high speed on top of a barrel without knocking it over. It usually takes years to get to this level of skill so people normally start on the ground and then work their way up from a quarter barrel to a half barrel until they can dance on the top of a full one. This is Emma again doing a barrel dance on a half barrel:
Another sean nós dance is Damhsa na Scuibanna “The Brush Dance” where dancers pass a brush between their legs at speed. The still images don’t really do it justice so here’s a clip of three members of the Cunningham family dancers performing it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX3Z8qG7AKo
It’s important that people call it by its correct name of sean nós or damhsa ar an sean nós rather than just “tap dance” as it’s an important part of our cultural heritage and a type of dance that is barely known about outside of Ireland. Sean nós had almost fallen into total obscurity outside of small pockets of rural Ireland until dancers like Emma O Sullivan and the Cunningham family dancers repopularised it in the early 2010s through their acclaimed performances and TV appearances as well as their classes for children to keep the tradition going into the next generation. Sean nós is still threatened with falling back into obscurity, if you search online most of the popular videos and photos of it are from about nine years ago during this revival and it’s still largely a rural, West of Ireland phenomenon which even people from within Ireland don’t really know about. Calling it by it’s correct name helps to keep it alive and allows new people to find out about it.
Just to add that sean nós is pronounced as “shan no-ss”. Sean in Irish means old and doesn’t become Seán (Shawn) without the fáda on the A, though many Seáns don’t use a fáda especially outside of Ireland.
I see that we’re not supposed to call it tap dance but is it actually or is there a difference? Just trying to understand because the description seems like it’s identical
It’s not tap but they are related. Tap dancing originates in the early 19th century in America and has its roots in traditional African, Irish, Dutch and English dances (and probably lots of other influences too given how multicultural America is) when poor immigrants and African American families all ended up in the same cities. Tap became an important feature of Vaudeville variety shows in the early 20th century and a key component of the Harlem Renaissance and as such is largely associated with African American culture, especially since tap dancing became associated primarily with jazz music played by black musicians.
Sean nós is one of the styles which would have influenced the development of tap in America but it is in itself a totally different type of dance. “mainsteam” Irish dance and sean nós developed from various regional dance styles in Ireland over centuries. What we now call “mainsteam” Irish dance once also allowed for arm and body movements and greater freedom of movement and probably looked something similar to Scottish highland dancing. This all changed in the 19th century when Dance Masters started to standardise Irish dance and travelled village to village teaching groups of children the steps. Prior to this dance steps would have been passed down through families and dances had a lot of regional variation. Many of these dance masters sought to modify and formalise the dances which when we started to lose the arm and upper body movement as the arm movemets of monin jigs, finger snapping and wide kicks were pushed out in favour of a more formal dance style.
The foundation of the Gaelic League, an organisation to promote all aspects of Irish culture to encourage national pride in the late 1800s further standardised Irish dance. The league was particularly interested in developing and encouraging Irish dance as a unique style distinct from British dances. This was because for centuries aspects of Irish culture were considered to be savage and inferior to English traditions and under British rule Irish traditions were being actively stomped out by the British government.
Another contributing factor was the growing power of the catholic church in the 1800′s into the 1900′s. At this time the church was taking over every aspect of Irish social life because they feared that people would have “loose morals” without their supervision. Many priests and religious figures were heavily involved in nationalist organisations such as the Gaelic League and Gaelic Athletics Association and wished for the new Irish identity being developed by such organisations to be an explicitly catholic one. It was during this period that the church stopped such practices as saying mass in the home of people in the community and moved all masses into the church. The church felt threatened by the lack of control they had over the traditional country dances held at the crossroads. They viewed these events as deeply immoral affairs where all kinds of sexual immorality and drunkenness were taking place. These dances ceased to be entirely in the 20th century due to the extreme disapproval of the church and the newly founded dance halls built by the church in basically every town so that the local priest could keep an eye on local revellers.
The church took over Irish education during this period too and many priests and religious figures taught Irish dancing to children as an after school activity. All of these efforts by the church led to the rigid upper body and lack of arm movement we now associate with Irish dancing so as to desexualise it and keep strict control over the dancers movement. I’ve heard a few other explanations for how the upper body became so restricted. One theory is that people kept their upper bodies stiff so that they could practice their dancing without fear that the English would punish them as if the English were to look through their window in passing they wouldn’t be able to see the person dancing if they kept their upper body still. I don’t really buy this tbh as a: you would still notice that a person was dancing as their upper body would be jumping around and there is no way that the English were going to give you the benefit of the doubt if they caught you so you would get punished anyway and b: the windows of Irish cottages are tiny and cottages themselves are really dark inside, they are usually set back from the road so there is no way you would be able to see inside at a glance anyways.
Sean nós managed to avoid this standardisation as it survived in the West of Ireland in the most isolated rural communities, which is also where the Irish language has managed to survive to this day. Sean nós managed to stay a tradition which was passed down through families in parties at their own homes, away from the control of the Gaelic League, the dance masters and even the church which held such control over rural communities. It’s not that there are not sean nós competitions, there are, they are just much more recent than the feises (what we call an Irish dance competition) which began with the Gaelic League (inspired by the less formal competitions that dance masters would hold). The Oireachtas na Samhna sean nós competitions are the most prestigious to win and you can see clips on youtube of people competing there:
John Joyce competing in 2012:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFoymEicN20
Cuthbert Tura Arutura competing in 2011:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J1FVoZuXXE
It’s interesting to compare the two clips as John Joyce is from Connemara and has very traditional sean nós style where as Cuthbert Tura Arutura is from South Africa originally, is married to an Irish woman from the North of Ireland and now lives in Belfast so his style is very influenced by African dance styles and hip hop. Watching him it gives you an idea as to how modern tap came to be in the states, fusing multiple dance styles together to create something new.
