i've decided you all deserve to find out what i'm actually yap yap yapping about. behold, the main cast of my book:

art above by lucianlepore // art below by fuckitdarling

this is my explicitly queer, t4t high fantasy magnum opus

more info under the cut.... :3c

sylvan [he/it/they] -- immortal shapeshifter and second born living star. currently pretending to be an elf mage. has immense disdain for mortal life, considering the inanimate star to be the superior state of being. the majority of his power has been sealed away by his older brother, who considers him a danger to all mortal life. has spent the last 200 years trying to find a way to break the seal.

calem [he/him] -- human runesmith. trans man in his mid-30s. after moving to the big city to pursue magic, he was inexplicably denied magic certification and fell on hard times. he ended up using his skills for thievery and grey market enchanting to make ends meet. took up adventuring because it's more "honest". feels very strongly about seeing queer youth thrive.

veera [she/her] -- old-blood satyr warrior. abandoned as a fawn and raised as an orphan in a human village. she aged out of the home with her best friend and took on odd jobs and adventuring to get by. she doesn't understand why she looks different from other satyrs, but also doesn't care enough to find out. madly in love with grace, but thinks she doesn't feel the same.

grace [she/her but in a genderfucky way] -- feytouched human healer. found in the woods as a child and raised as an orphan. she wants to find out who her parents were so she can reconnect with her tribe and fully realize her magic. was rendered mute by a severe injury many years ago, and now only communicates in sign language or through veera's interpretation. took on healing jobs and adventuring to lighten veera's load.

ennos [he/him] -- Khamori omega. after losing favor in his clan, he set out into human lands hoping to become an adventurer and make a name for himself. he thinks if he makes it big and gets popular, it'll make up for him being an omega and having a magical core that's too impure to ever achieve ascension. his skills are better suited to defense, so he prefers to be a meat shield. token cishet.

They all go on a little adventure together to a funky little place called the King's Labyrinth, hoping to claim a really large bounty for a life-changing amount of money. All they have to do is delve into this uncharted, magically distorted underground fortress full of weird monsters, and find a royal heirloom that's been lost for generations! Easy :D

Though, really, it's about Sylvan being gay and trans as fuck learning to accept being alive. It's about about trans rage. It's about being abandoned by the people who were supposed to love you when you didn't fit their expectations for you. It's about finding acceptance from people who genuinely want you as you are. It's about learning how to live in a world that doesn't want you in it.

...that and there's t4t yaoi in it.

i'm tagging all book related stuff under #secondborn + the characters' names. :3c

Wile E. Coyote, two milliseconds before he lights a match only to reveal he's surrounded by flammable traps he himself has set and the whole website explodes

Character duo where one *remembers I don’t like fitting characters into trope boxes* is a completely fleshed out and realised person *remembers treating characters as real people and not story devices written with intent is bad* who is written by the author and *remembers death of the author* uh. And *fumbles and drops my pile of queue cards* ah fuck wait no *the menacing horse* what was that.

For those who have missed it, a tourist in Hawaii decided it would be fun to chuck a rock (a BIG rock) at a monk seal. He missed, but he was captured on video, and when told it was illegal to interfere with them, said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine."

Is the best part that he got doxxed? No.

Is the best part that he got tracked down by a local and beaten? No.

Arrested on state at federal charges, looking at up to 5 years and 50K? Nope.

The best part is the local city council's reaction.

And the best part of that is the look on the attorney's face.

ooooojhhh i hate how Europeans think they're not just as racist as USAmericans, they have such a holier-than-thou attitude about it all. As if they don't have such harsh views about the Romani people. Or just as racist views against immigration as the US. Or a staunch hatred against Muslims. Or even a weird hatred against white Mediterraneans who are just a liiitttle tanner than an someone in Norway or some shit

[stressedkillifish]

you talk generally about anything remotely facist or racist and everyone is immediately like "yeah America is so scary! Trump is so dumb lol" NO stop it!! The UK government and news outlets are villanising and removing rights from disabled people DAILY. You post anything remotely close to complaining on your towns local Facebook page and at least half the comments will be talking about immigrants like they single handedly carved every pothole into our roads.

like yes America has big scary issues but as someone living in not America I'm fucking sick of everyone talking about it because it feels like we're using it to ignore our own decline.

Maybe the cup needs a bit of time to rest and refill?

[asksloyxp]

Maybe the cup needs to lock the fuck in???

"this is unbecoming of me" is genuinely a useful thing to have in your mental toolbox

tomodachi life is awesome. sometimes you can have your jaded, immortal star become friends with the dead girl he was supposed to replace. over 90s emo! and then you can draw them belting out rainer maria lyrics
