I ordinarily wouldn’t take this online, but given that @wiigiwaamcore is posting daily as a Native authority on here and other sites, I don’t think it’s responsible not to say something on here.

Kai is almost certainly pretending to be Native American and doing so in a position of academia. I don’t want to doxx anyone on Tumblr, but there has been extensive research done on their fraudulent genealogy and it is publicly available online.

Everyone is welcome to trust who you like, but I would listen to the Native people in their replies asking them repeatedly to reply to requests for clarification on their Native connections. They have reached out in person as well and are being ignored by Kai.

Tumblr user formerly called @wigwamcore appears to have been fraudulently claiming to be Native American and Métis.

An ex-friend who now hates me sent me a text today for the first time in a year and I am still too stressed to open it :/ I can’t even forward it to someone and have them read it bc I have to open it to do that, lol

[pinesing]

i think it’s ironic that you say i hate you when you’re the one who lied to my face and then ghosted me. the last time we talked i asked you to prove you were connected to the indigenous communities you claim, then thanked you and ended the conversation. you then removed me from your language group email lists and did not speak to me for a year. now that the proof has come out that you were lying when you told me how you were native, you act like we have some sort of personal beef when all i did was ask you to take accountability for your actions. i believe in direct communication, so i texted you with a very clear request. i’m still waiting for an answer.

Y'ALL.....IT'S FULLY FUNDED

I launched the Kickstarter for Fractured Magic THIS MORNING and it funded in 30 minutes! I'm blown away. Seriously. I truly believe in this book and can't wait to bring it to print!

In a world full of AI books and the corporate sanitization of fiction, it's easy to get discouraged as a queer indie author pouring their heart into their art, but this has given me so much hope. If you've already backed the project, I can't thank you enough.

And if you haven't yet but now you're intrigued, let me tell you about Fractured Magic: it's an M/M epic fantasy about a prince's quest to rescue his missing king and the noble hero who comes back from the dead to stop him.

More than that, it's about loss and loneliness, staying kind when the world wants you cold, and what to do with a government that no longer cares about its own people.

You can learn more about it on the Kickstarter page!

If you like epic fantasy, gothic lit, or ex-friends who act like they've gone through a messy divorce, I highly recommend you check it out.

You know what, I'm sick of trying to play marketing games on other social media. I'm just going to rant about what I like about my book, because if anyone will appreciate an autistic special interest dump, I hope it'll be tumblr.

so if you like gay books and epic fantasy, read on!

This is Fractured Magic! The cover is by the incredibly talented @littlestpersimmon.

Fractured Magic is a sprawling epic fantasy with a big cast of characters, intricate politics, and a romantic "they were best friends but one thinks the other is dead and when they're finally reunited they're both angry with each other and act like they went through the world's messiest divorce" pairing. the divorcees in question:

before I go on, just know that there's a KICKSTARTER YOU CAN FOLLOW that will include ebooks, paperbacks, and other really fun goodies!

there are ALSO assassins, ghosts, secret identities, descents into madness, and an ancient dragon god who was trapped in a human body and wants revenge about it. to touch on some of these a little further:

-ghosts: are they ghosts? are they zombies? are they simply metaphorical manifestations of the characters' grief? are they real, honest-to-god, send-things-flying-off-shelves ghosts? the answer is yes! all of the above!

-secret identities: if you like those moments reading or watching something where you're like "holy shit, that character was ACTUALLY XYZ THIS WHOLE TIME?!", then you'll like Fractured Magic.

-descents into madness(TM): I mean this in the most gothic sense possible. our hero's in possession of a dark magic that is slowly corrupting him from the inside out. afraid of its power, he pushes everyone away, but he's never dealt well with loneliness.

-ancient dragon gods: this one is pretty much what it says on the tin.

you'll also like fractured magic if you:

-like gothic literature.

-are a big fan of old school fantasy (zelazny, moorcock, weis and hickman) but wish it was more for the gays

-watched this scene from howl's moving castle and had your brain chemistry changed a little:

-or this scene from pride and prejudice:

well, that's all I've got! if you've read this far, thank you. seriously. due to the aforementioned autism, I....have a very hard time with promoting myself on social media. I really want people to like this book because I really like this book, but I get too caught up in tone and then everything just kinda flops.

and, to be honest, I'm really worried about this kickstarter not funding! so here's the link to it again. if you hit the follow button, you'll be notified when the campaign goes live: KICKSTARTER

The Return of Fractured Magic

It is, perhaps, an understatement to say that the Fractured Magic hiatus has lasted longer than any of us expected (myself included). I want to both thank you all for your patience and tell you how terribly sorry I am for making you wait. At long last, I bring great tidings: Fractured Magic is getting an official relaunch!!

When: The first chapter drops January 29. From there, new chapters will be published every Monday. Where: If you want chapters delivered directly to your inbox every week, you can subscribe to the Substack. Otherwise, new chapters will be posted to my website. Why: You can read my full statement about this decision here.

What are you talking about? What is Fractured Magic? Thank you for asking, hypothetical reader that I’ve invented to suit my needs. Fractured Magic is a fantasy webserial with Victorian gothic overtones and a queer array of queer characters. It’s about political and personal accountability, ghosts both figurative and literal, and the agony of having a crush who ghosts you every time he has a mental health downswing.

In the story, an elven King is kidnapped by a woman not-quite-alive and his nephew has to find a way to get him back. His plan requires an elite team, an infamous hero with corrosive magic, and a great deal of patience.

oh thats hot as hell. if only sex was real

[pinesing]

everything in homestuck being deeply garish is fine art to me

[pinesing]

also after fgo i keep thinking why did it take me so long to read this the first time, this is easy mode

[pinesing]

rereading homestuck is simultaneously like receiving successive blows to the head and like having a conversation with my teenage self. what’s that about

[23b0075nke]

longest night

[pinesing]

homestuck thoughts so far (just started act 3)

1. how the fuck did i think this was boring the first 2 times i read it

2. why have i read this 3 times

3. is dave strider my root. is dave strider why i like neurotic boys who lie about everything in an effort to seem less neurotic (looking at merlin fgo specifically). is dave strider why i am like this

4. i can never cosplay dave again because i will simply never top myself in 2013

5. i miss karkat

6. something about a consumerist dystopia?

7. is there room for indigeneity in this story at all

8. viscerally remembeing being 19 is pretty uncomfortable actually

[pinesing]

i’m rereading homestuck and reactivating this blog to talk about it lol

it’s been ten years since i first read this— i think i started it in my last year of highschool, continued up through act 7 and didn’t read the epilogues. the height of when i was into homestuck was 2013-2014, which is literally ten years ago. i was just looking at old cosplay pics from when i was admin of fucking homestucks milwaukee

i don’t think it’s possible to overstate the influence homestuck had on me, both how i create and interpret media as well as how i interact with fans and fandom. i still fucking type like dave strider. i’m turning thirty in february and i’m still like this. but in the last ten years i’ve really grown a lot as a person, and grown in how well i know myself and my values and boundaries.

there’s a lot of stuff in homestuck that’s uncomfortable to read. and i dø think that part of that is the point— i’m a staunch believer in the idea that art shouldn’t be comfortable all of the time, or even beautiful. homestuck is a great example of that. but also some of it is shit that we now, ten years later, are more firm in recognizing as unacceptable than we were when it was first posted— which doesn’t mean it wasn’t awful at the time, just that the majority of people were less likely to kick up a fuss.

i should probably be reading it with mods but i’m a lazy bitch and just reading the whole thing on my phone.

anyway.

this is probably going to be weird. i’m gonna have thoughts— probably mostly stupidly introspective as homestuck was so intensely tied up in my identity and experience of early adulthood.

i’m not really expecting anyone to read all of this, but i want to post about it anyway.

so.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you've stripped him of so many of his qualities that it's no longer "he would not say that". it's "who the fuck even is that guy"
