hey…. hey there…..

so it’s been a hot while since i’ve been (actually) active on here buuuut i’m here to announce a fic i wrote 🫣

i’ve never been super active in the tumblr LITG community (i was moreso on reddit) but i figured it won’t hurt to crosspost on different platforms in case other people might be interested.

anyway, it’s a Hamish/MC villa retelling, because All Stars is the last time Fusebox wrote a male LI route with some actual substance and a plot that were interesting to me, so naturally it’s been on my mind and i’ve been slowly developing this fic for the past two years. it’s finally at a stage where i’m confident that i will finish the fic (don’t want a repeat of the last time i published something for LITG lmao) sooo i’m putting it out there for the world to judge.

without further ado, i present:

The Name of the Game ☀️

if you enjoy the friends-to-lovers trope, slow burn (like really, really, reaaaaally, painfully slow), sarcasm, a little bit of angst, and a lot of emotional growth, feel free to give it a read on AO3 (link here). ✨

Did you know nonbinary people who were afab and nonbinary people who were amab can have the same genders

tlirsgender

Kind of the fucking idea that nonbinary people aren't their assigned sexes, innit

tlirsgender

Enforcing the idea that nonbinary people are cisgender women wearing jeans is directly harmful not only in that it's invalidating to nonbinary people afab but because it makes people who were amab think they can't be nonbinary at all, or at least not in the same way as people afab. Which is so fucking disheartening to see. This is not to deny the unique challenges of transfeminized nonbinary people but to draw attention to them; this phenomenon is an effect of transmisogyny

Hey this addition is pretty important context for what I mean btw. Reblog my transfeminism, they

Sick and tired

(Disclaimer: trans is at the head for a reason, but all else is random. Getting distracted by what should go where is exactly the petty distraction they want.)

Final comment: I'm overwhelmed by the response this has gotten (which is like 99% positive, to be clear) & many opinions missing the point.

I've chosen Impoverished bc of my own experience, & women's rights are inherent to every segment. This is a creation of desperation, pain, anger. I am respecting myself and it's original integrity.

I appreciate the excitement and praise this has gotten, as it obviously resonates, and those wishing me well under the stress of many eyes. I don't wish to beat a dead horse, so I am letting it stand as it is now and hold a hard boundary. I, and others, will not entertain splitting hairs.

DIY hand-printed flags and patches will be availiable this summer (2025) or sooner.

Proceeds will go to help fight the atrocities from the White House, and support us two financially drowning disabled trans people.

Be good to one another and focus on the end goal.

Review: Strange Pictures by Uketsu

I get really excited about weird Japanese novels, so I was highly anticipating this dark mystery. I recently read an interview in The Guardian with Uketsu and I was so intrigued by his enigmatic, surreal vibe. During lockdown, he posted a series of bizarre mystery stories on YouTube and since then has written several novels that have been big hits in Japan. Strange Pictures is the first to be translated into English and I have everything crossed that more of them are soon!

Centred around some childlike illustrations, Strange Pictures tells a dark, chilling story from several angles. The sketches of a pregnant wife, a child's drawing of his idea of 'mother' and a quick etching of a mountain view all add up to a horrific truth that will shake you to the core.

All of the pictures are simple and innocuous and I think it's that quality that makes the story they tell all the more frightening. There is so much to all of them that you just don't see until you hear the artist's story and perhaps that's exactly what Uketsu is telling us.

The mysteries themselves are complex. My brain was working pretty fast to keep up with all of the calculations and I did have to stop several times to make sure I was following it properly. I can only imagine the kind of mind that figured all this out and chose to present it in the way that this book does. It is such a clever book and I really appreciated the challenge.

It is also genuinely scary. I couldn't shake the constant creeping, haunting presence that felt like it was right behind me. Even when the smoke lifted and I knew what was going on, I was still scared! Uketsu manages to evoke that feeling of dread fantastically.

The first story tells the tale of two students figuring out why a blog mysteriously stopped being updated. The blog posts felt so genuine and I'm wondering if they actually were. This made it so easy to invest in the mystery and I was so eager to find out what had happened. Having this immediate hook caused me to power through the book and I was delighted when the other stories kept me as gripped as the opening.

Strange Pictures is an incredibly dark dive into a broken mind and the horrors that lurk within it. It's about the relationship between art and psychology, mothers and children, husbands and wives and friends. It's also about how one life can deeply affect many others, how trauma can ripple through generations and how the same story can look different depending on who's telling it. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who loves complex mysteries with a touch of philosophy and a lot of macabre.

#this book is so good I genuinely almost fainted #TWICE #strange pictures #uketsu #horror

I made a design for this amazing open submission project called PenPalestine, where artists from all over the world send their projects to be printed and sold as postcards in solidarity with Palestinians.

The postcards are printed in London, and 100% of the proceeds will go to medical aid for Palestine.

My design is inspired by M.C. Escher and the rich Palestinian culture of woven and embroidered patterns.

You can buy my design here, but I encourage everyone to browse through the incredible submissions, and all artists to contribute with some artwork.
