For anyone new or old, I am sorry I don't write much. I want to but between lack of motivation from working draining all my energy and struggling with short stories due to thinking my sex scenes are either boring or just lack of creative juices flowing I just haven't been able to.
I have a handful of stuff I want to write, just need a good moment to get going.
I still love and adore every comment, like or reblog. Thank you for the love, even if I don't get anything new out for a while.
Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;
Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.
To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.
So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.
I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile.
Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.
They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.
In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.
Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'
This AU contains exploration and depiction of dark and heavy themes, like sexual assault and abuse. If you are sensetive to this kind of stuff, I do not recommend reading. Proceed with caution.
Alastor and Vox make a deal, but later Alastor realises that he overestimated himself and can't pay the price. It doesn't bother Vox in the slightest though, he wants what was promised to him and will not budge.
Timeline and changes: after that scene in the bar Vox sucked it up and kept hanging out with Alastor. Hypnosis and Forced Broadcast events never happened. Alastor now knows about Vox's feelings and sees it as something to laugh at, and maybe use.
Now, let me yap a little bit here. Bare with me, it's somewhat important.
Usually i don't post masterpost before the comic itself, but, as you may guess, this comic is a... special case. The cover sums up the AU pretty much, and this isn't type of thing that i usually do. Usually i try to avoid sexual topics at all, because it makes me uncomfortable, but i guess the fact that Hazbin is an adult show and doesn't shy away from sexual topics, it kinda also makes me think about it too? And lately i felt like all the ways i torture Alastor in my works just isn't enough.
At first i didn't even want to draw this idea. But when i told it in my discord, several people got really excited about it, and wanted to see it, so, i decided to make this comic. But i thought, i'd just leave it discord exlusive, because it felt too dark and too out of character for me to make something like this on public.
And then i learned that apparently April is Sexual Assauls awarnes and prevention month and this comic fit right in the topic. And here's the thing, usually i rarely make occasion/event themed stuff in time (the pride series was an exception), so, the fact that i got this idea right before the month made me think that it wasn't a coincidence. Maybe someone out there needs to see this.
And trust, if not me, than my discord folks, that i didn't sexualize of romanticize any of this stuff and bad things are portrayed as bad, and not downplayed.
This comic is rather short, compared to my other long running comics (only 65 pages) (trust me, it's a small comic, considering that Forced broadcast may have over 200 sketched by the time of writing this post), and Alastor WILL get out of this situation, i know for some people that can be deciding factor on whether or not read the story. And no, this isn't smut. This gets as graphic as episode 4 of season 1, but nothing more. This comic may later get additional content, dedicated to Alastor dealing with trauma and his healing process.
I'm not putting tw tags on this post, but I will be tagging parts of the comic with TW tags for SA, especially those with most graphic scenes, and i will try to hide graphic pages under cut.
And once again, if you don't feel comfortable, you aren't obligated to read this comic, no matter how much of a dedicated fan of my works you are. Just in case. Your own mental health should be more valuable than anything else.
I don't know where it came from, but several years ago this idea popped into my head unbidden, and for some reason it tickles me. I don't know if it's funny, but I like it and I made it into a zine, I hope you enjoy it.
It lays out really nicely as 3-up spreads on A4 paper, so you can print, staple and fold it, then cut it into 3 zines. It made it really easy to print up 20 of them to trade at this art social thing I went to

Y'all I did NOT know this about Harris, and I think it's really critical that we all listen and understand as we approach this election. Video at the end.
This creator's video describes how progressive Harris was as a prosecutor -- actively going against the grain to the point she was accused of being soft on crime. Accused of being a social worker, not a prosecutor. She calls it being smart on crime. She's pushing for systemic changes to give real pathways to reintegrate incarcerated folks back into society and prevent their past from continuing to haunt them moving forward.
"Kamala's a cop" is a catchy dismissive response, but this kind of reform is ESSENTIAL to work towards a present and future that treats incarcerated people with value.
I fell for it in 2020 and have thought "Kamala's a cop" since - and I'm sobered by the realization that (you guessed it!) I'm not immune to propaganda.
A better system only follows liberal democracy, because library democracy allows for exploration of better systems. If authoritarianism takes hold, it will not allow for the exploration of better systems. We will have to fight tooth and nail just to try to get back to liberal democracy, and I suspect we could not achieve it in our lifetimes.
Harris isn't perfect. But she's a hell of a lot better than many leftists have led me to believe. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. Don't let perfection be the enemy of harm reduction.
We can either help elect Trump and usher in authoritarian fascism, or we can help defeat him and pull things back in the direction we want to go. Not liking the choices doesn't absolve you from participating and doing the most good you can with the options available.
I'll link the original video in the replies. The original video has captions if you need them.
