List of Published Works
I suppose I should have a pinned post in my profile listing my published works, so everything is accessible in one place. This is that. Everything below should be appropriately tagged as being ace-friendly or not, and if anything needs to be given a tag, please do let me know.
Ecdysis
Paranormal Investigation
Ataraxia
The Path
Another Promise
tag your trans types (≤3)
Due to popular demand, we have added more types!
Well, with the additionals, I'm clearly Mommy Maid
okay this is the Final one! its been fun everyone! (next up is the strengths and resistances... sigh)
theorycrafting type interactions
Knight
- Resists Puppy, Bug, Rat, Horror, Dragon, Demon, Were-; all those things make use of fear, and a knight does not falter
- Weak to Slime, Snake, Vampire, Witch, Clown (things that bypass armor, yes Clown's silliness lets them looney tunes their way around armor) as well as Sister, Princess, Goddess, Mommy, Angel, and Little (things that a knight will take orders from)
- Resisted by Sister, Princess, Fairy, Maid, Bunny, Goddess, Angel, Little, and Horse (all things a knight protects) as well as Vampire, Snake, and Fox (associated with guile, which is a knight's downfall)
- Super Effective vs Deer, Rat, Horror, Dragon, Demon, Were-, and Witch (things a knight hunts) as well as Nerd, Brat, Plush, and Pooltoy (things that lose to physical force)
... I'm going to stop before I spend an hour on this actually
you may be unwilling to spend hours of your life on this, but I am the best procrastinator to ever do it. I'll see you with a type chart in a couple of hours
strengths and resistances anyone? (spreadsheet link for higher res)
green is Super Effective, dealing 2x damage
red is Not Very Effective, dealing 1/2 damage
black is Immune, dealing 0 damage
empty is Neurtal, dealing normal damage
so as an Angel Knight type, I would take:
4x damage from Goddess and Handler
2x damage from Brat, Little, Princess, Fairy, Angel, Goth, Mommy, Fox, Clown, and Slut
1x damage from Knight, Robot, Maid, Sister, Doll, Gamer, Plushy, Deer, Nerd, Witch, Snake, Horror, Pool Toy, Plant, Cow, Elf, Fish, and Lizard
0.5x damage from Bird, Bug, Rat, Slime, Bunny, Horse, Pirate, and Alien
and 0.25x damage from Puppy, Kitty, Vampire, Dragon, Were-, Demon, and Spider.
If you think the matchups should be different, my askbox is open. I am admittedly not familiar with some of these archetypes (I thought pool toy meant literally tube rings, I learned today what those are it's very cool), and alot of this is very subjective.
If you think demons should beat angels instead of the other way around though, that'll take some convincing ideally from a demon girl in person
Was this worth 6 hours of my life?
Yes. I would do anything for the beautiful transgender women in my phone 💜
oh my stars, you actually did it.
I went to sleep and woke up and its done.. wow
thanks and well done!
@geckyjuno made a type calculator for ease of use
I think it's fun my previous blog is in this chain. Anyways, still maid mommy :)
So when are we making the trans girl types pokemon romhack
One of a Kind
(cw: identity death, minor body horror)
I've always had a keen interest in unique toys. Limited editions, misprints; things that you won't find just anywhere. When I got into doll-making, it was a hobby that really let me scratch that itch - because every doll I made could be one-of-a-kind. Each one with its own unique qualities to be loved and cherished.
My next focus was, then, on exploring the various ways I could make a doll unique. I sought out new patterns, novel mechanisms, and rare materials.
Of course I know that simply by virtue of being made by my hand no two would ever be exactly the same - even if I attempted to make the same doll twice they would still have their own slight differences and beautiful imperfections. But still, I couldn't fight my nature. Especially when I came across a particularly rare material to work with.
Like an angel.
It was called Seraphiel, the angel of silence (oh how I love synchronicity). I simply couldn't contain my excitement when I first got it in my hands and I got to work immediately. I scarcely remember even eating or sleeping until it was completed.
Angels naturally share a number of features with traditional dolls: pure, flawless skin; being filled with purpose by another; often made in the form of a human but lacking humanity. This makes them a wonderful material to craft with, but there was still much work to do.
The first thing to go was the halo; too full of identity and memory. A simple snip on one side to break the circuit, and the spinning energy brightly condensed at the break point with nowhere to go. It then slowly burned down like a candle until there was nothing left but a dusting of soft ash.
Removing the halo also makes the material so much more workable and obedient.
Next, the wings; too conspicuous, too independent. I felt a little barbaric ripping them out, but to avoid the risk of regrowth - as angel wings are wont to do - they needed to be removed down to the root. I used my finest stitching to guide the wounds closed, and the resultant scarring was minimal at worst. A vastly improved aesthetic result over the "less invasive" cauterization method.
I would need to make room within for clockwork and purpose, so I opened up the body and let out most of the dense light that was taking up the majority of the space inside. I left a little bit in some extremities like the fingertips and ears and cheeks so that it would retain a hint of otherworldly luminescence.
The rest of the process was relatively routine - alabaster ball joints, intricate silver clockwork, an opening out of its back for the wind-up key, and so on. Taking every opportunity to pour more love and devotion into each piece with etchings and inlays and filigree.
I needed to sharpen my tools quite frequently due to the durability of angel skin, but I could not chance a single catch or rough cut.
A few finishing touches - silk stitching for the mouth, and a small set of wings engraved into its back - to pay homage to its humble beginnings, and my perfect Sera was whole.
She was one of a kind, and with a wind of a key, she was mine.

I put my heart and soul into this story. Mind the content warnings. It's about my experiences with abuse, told through the medium of a fictional character. Arasy's abuser isn't any specific person I knew, she's just an amalgam of all the different types of abuse I've experienced put into one character.
This story takes a lot of inspiration from the vibes of @glitchyrobo's Human Domestication Guide story and I am really proud of how it came out. More to come.
Summary: Arasy is a human from the far-away planet of Tsikha'noor. There, she and her ancestors lived peacefully among the s'khres, a species of snake-like xenosophonts. Her life, although mostly comfortable, has been fraught with abuse. Though she managed to escape the clutches of an abusive partner, she now finds herself on an Affini's bed, after a wellness-check got a little too explosive.
if hdg were real i'd be domesticated so fast for looking an Affini in the eyes and saying "your floret is poggers"
i think:
they'd say, "poggers?" and check their datapad. and then they'd say "you're right! my floret is absolutely poggers! aren't you a sweetie pie"
and then two weeks later you're domesticated because they thought you were so fucking cute
What can I say except "I'm goated"
@machineatmidnight suggested I post this here
Incredibly unbelievably indubitably unquestionably based
Shit like this is why I absolutely cannot fuck with neurotypical people. You could have skipped my obvious shitpost instead of leaving a rude comment, but you didn't, and instead you chose to find out the hard way you were making fun of a disabled person.
The funniest thing is you could have learned this by looking at my profile for a split second before deciding to go ahead with being an asshole anyways.
You're going on the wall of shame, you don't get to come in my profile and be ableist and get away with it. Shame on you.
if hdg were real i'd be domesticated so fast for looking an Affini in the eyes and saying "your floret is poggers"
Freshened up my blog a little bit, gonna try working up the energy to get back into writing more. I've been thinking a lot about Kaiza's arc and I had the idea to write something similar, except the escaped floret actually starts to feel guilt for leaving her Affini and comes back on their own after mulling on it and the fact that her life was significantly better in the brief time she was under an Affini's care.
I love all of the stories I've read in the setting, but there's a kind of... fear factor? This magic that I've only been able to find in Glitchy's HDG and SlyLittlePrincess's Sunset in Suburbia. Like this gut feeling that something is wrong that really nails in the horror aspect that I personally felt when reading HDG for the first time.
the sunk cost fallacy has been my favorite fallacy for as long as I can remember. so at this point it's probably too late to pick a different one
I just heard about the recency bias, and honestly I think it's gotta be the best one ever
Everyone is saying that the bandwagon effect is the best bias, so they have to be right
I once had this one logic professor who said that appeal to authority is the best fallacy. She's an expert in logic, so she must be right.
real logical fallacy enjoyers are partial to no true scotsman. if you don’t prefer no true scotsman you’re not a real fallacy enjoyer. someone tried to tell me the backfire effect was the superior cognitive bias, which makes me even MORE sure that no true scotsman is the best
No love for the slippery slope fallacy? If we forget about that, then before we know it all our beloved logical fallacies will be gone!
I've seen my fair share of fallacies in my lifetime, and I think it's objectively true that the bare-assertion fallacy is the best one. It speaks for itself.

Happy Birthday to HDG
HDG is five years old now, and I wanted to celebrate by talking about how reading that story caused a lot of positive change in my life.
I had originally joined the discord server because I wanted to read more stories taking place in the HDG setting. In the process of seeking more stuff to read, I met a lot of very cool folks who I ended up befriending. I made those friends at a point in my life where I had literally no one, and I went from feeling incredibly lonely to feeling hopeful that folks would stick around this time.
I ended up meeting my lovely girlfriend through the community, and I've formed close bonds with a lot of those friends I met at the beginning. I wouldn't trade the friendships I have now for anything and I truly feel like I belong here. I am seen, I am heard, I am understood. I am no longer the odd one out, I am welcomed and I am treated with patience and kindness.
The stories I've read made me think about difficult things which I hadn't considered before, leading to a lot of self-reflection — I figured out my gender identity, plurality, sexual orientation and sexuality. Those same stories also inspired me to write, which is something I had always wanted to do but never had the motivation or inspiration to do.
HDG helped me to understand and accept the fact that I am disabled, after a lifetime of my parents gaslighting me and telling me that I'm not. I've finally pursued diagnoses and treatment for the various disabilities that affect my day to day life, like chronic pain and brain damage.
Reading HDG started a butterfly effect that resulted in me surviving 2025, which was the worst year of my life. I am immensely grateful for everything that happened since that day I decided to read Glitchy's original work and I am incredibly happy to see that Elvira's arc is finished. I'm also very eager to read Kaiza's arc if that is in the works.
Here's to another five years!
Affini Warden, handing a human a candy with a pill hidden on the bottom: here petal, eat this peanut butter chocolate before we go to the vet!
floret, cleverly removes the pill and gobbles the delicious treat: you can't fool me mistress
Affini: ::) oh, outsmarted me I see!
floret promptly falls over because the treat was the drugged part and the pill was a placebo
Saw a post discussing the original HDG's disability themes and calling it a "fix the disabled person and they become better" type narrative and I did not agree with that! (No shade to the OP to be clear, I just like to talk shop about book readin').
So anyway, here are my thoughts on OG HDG (and really the setting as a whole) as a disability metaphor / narrative, if any care to read them :)
OG HDG to me, is not a story about a disabled woman having her disability cured / fixed /what have you. In fact I would go so far as to say that Elvira herself.... it's not that she isn't disabled (I genuinely don't remember if she is or not but I don't recall that being a huge part of the work, feel free to correct my memory) it's more that, Elvira's disability (or lack thereof) is tangential to the actual commentary going on. OG HDG's disability metaphor is one of institutions, not individuals. The affini compact itself is the source of metaphor. It is the way they infantilize and disregard agency, but also simultaneously bend over backwards to accommodate and provide.
They are a twisted reflection of institutional ableism of our own society. This can be seen very clearly if we look at, for example the US's meager social welfare programs. The American social welfare programs are condescending, uncaring about the wellbeing of disabled people. They are a cold unthinking bureaucratic machine. The individuals within typically are not intending to inflict harm, but so often do through a failure to accommodate or institutional failures elsewhere (lack of funding, laws limiting who can access, etc).
The affini compact is a bureaucratic machine that does not care if you want help, or if you object to the means, but they *will* help you.
Being disabled for so many people (especially those too disabled to work) is a series of options and opportunities being taken from you. The ability to make your own decisions, the ability to plan your own future, for many on social security even romance is a risky prospect as if your partner has sufficient income you will lose access to your benefits, rendering you entirely financially dependent on them (hmm, I wonder how that might tie into the ownership kink setting?) further depriving you of personhood, agency, etc. Even accepting financial gifts can disqualify you!
I once saw someone say something to the effect of "as a disabled woman, I already live in the non con setting, so HDG is very appealing to me."
Speaking of, there are so many failure points. So many things you can accidentally do or not do to lose your benefits. Many of the things you have to do are specifically things that are difficult for disabled people: make specific meetings at specific times on specific days that you scheduled many months ago, and cannot miss because the next available one is many months out, stay on hold for hours, etcetera etcetera. The Affini Compact is the opposite. It does not matter if you want their help or not. You could actively fight it and that means you are all the more likely to receive it. If they deem you in need of care, you will be cared for, that is a promise and a threat.
The Affini Compact deprives you of choice. Binds you to another who will take away your agency, but not abuse you (I wonder why someone who cannot marry without losing all financial independence would want that) and will do everything it can to take care of you. That is the disability metaphor in OG HDG, not Elvira's personal arc, but the society she is thrust into.
Just to be clear, if you are at the stage of fandom discourse where you are comparing allosexual trans lesbians to straight people you have lost the plot. It is time to touch grass (maybe get touched by grass).
I don't really get it why does anyone care if there is sex in HDG or not? I understand why you would want fics to be tagged as sex but that's sort of a different issue isn't it?
It seems like posts I've seen are treating this like the alsexual people are... idk being marginalized? by the allosexual ones. Kind of like if a bunch of straight people came into a gay space but that's.... not how this works? Sure with cishet people being asexual is more stigmatized than being allosexual but not with trans lesbians.
And I guess some people are saying ace people deserve their own spaces away from allo people but someone posting a fic on ao3 doesn't take anything away from your enjoyment right? And if the discord server let's allo people on can't you just make your own that doesn't? Nobody is entitled to be part of a discord they didn't make.
Plus it isn't like allo trans lesbians have tons of spaces where they feel welcome so why treat them like problematic invaders I don't get if?
I guess I don't understand cause if you don't wanna read allo stuff then you don't have to. But also if you do wirte allo stuff you should probably tag it correctly
Sorry if these questions are rude to ask or the answers are really obvious I just don't really understand.
