"Squire of Sol II is written with a rare kind of humanity. There is messiness here—heartbraking, enraging, honest messiness. These characters will never leave you, and you won't ever want them to." —Willow Heath, author of Managing and Other Lies In a matter of months, 20-year-old Drew will become a nuclear time bomb. He’ll then live out the rest of his days as the most famous living sacrifice in this sector, responsible for representing all the moral repercussions of any future act of war against the Emni, an “alien” race on a neighboring planet’s moon.

Riis is everything Drew is not. He’s polite, he’s thoughtful, he’s honest in a way that’s almost painful, and he’s a six-foot-tall four-horned alien. Riis would basically be an unknown if it weren’t for the fact that he was chosen for an inter-galactic exchange program that just so happens to take place at Drew's University.

Squire of Sol II is ON SALE for $0.99 !!!! GET yourself that gay alien lovin'

[notbecauseofvictories]

caught sight of a starling at my birdfeeder, and had a strange thought: it must be weird to be a bird.

To continue the thought experiment: all day long, you hang out with your flock who---with minor personal and sex variations---look like you. Then you go out into the world, and cross paths constantly with creatures that look vaguely like you (except they're different colors or smaller or bigger or their mouths are different shapes) that speak similar yet distinct languages (chirps vs. songs vs. whistles vs. calls). You might fight over resources, sure, but you're also expected share the world with these meaningfully distinct creatures.

.......are birds just constantly living with aliens? Albeit Hollywood aliens with prosthetics and makeup, not actual aliens. Except we live here too! So not only do birds live with Hollywood aliens, they live in close proximity with actual legitimate aliens, who exist on a level that birds simply can't comprehend, and move according to bizarre inexplicable rhythms. We create mysterious objects, some of which are benevolent (bird feeder, garden) and others of which inflict punishment (windows) and some where it depends (telephone wire, pole). We seem to have other dangerous lifeforms attached to us, though it's unclear how (cats and dogs). We act in ways that are frightening, baffling, and even more alien than the starling perched on the other side of the birdfeeder.

Conclusion: to be a bird is to live with aliens and with gods.

Step one: write fanfic

Step two: really just do it obsessively ever day

Step three: literally no profit
