Inhuman Condition Episode One

In a world where the supernatural is known but scorned, people with supernatural afflictions attempt to live normal lives in human society. Many are closeted. Few are accepted. To help them fit in, and to navigate the problems in their lives, they come to Dr. Michelle Kessler. A therapist by trade, Kessler is equal parts strong and empathetic, providing her patients a safe space to explore and understand themselves in a world where losing grip could put their families at risk. Self-hatred, alienation. The burdens of carrying impossible secrets. The struggle to feel human.

This seems to officially be an ongoing series of blog posts, after [awkwardly untitled] and [awkwardly untitled 2] and why not? So let’s do this thing… Last December, I wrote that &#822…

A new blog post about my writing projects and life, including the launch of Portalier Press, my TTRPG publishing project.

There's a beautiful view From the top of the mountain Every morning I walk towards the edge And throw little things off Like: Car parts, bottles and cutlery Or whatever I find lying around

One of my biggest things, this past year or so, has been finding space for my TTRPG education and practice in amidst my professional commitments, hobbies, etc. So, I’ve been working on a bunch of cool little D&D 5e homebrew and original TTRPG projects that nobody has seen aside from a handful of friends and colleagues.

Maybe, since there seems to be a really passionate D&D/TTRPG community on here (I’m still so cheered by response to my Last Words cantrip!), I’ll share some things and see if folks connect with them. I’d really love to start to make friends and meet other creators in the space.

Town Festival (Public)

The final map this month, a small town festival, whether the celebration is over a successful mission, or perhaps a more special occasion, it’s a perfect place for some socializing, or perhaps a quick and dirty ambush from those foul greenskins…

i get that for most people tragedy is just always gonna feel Bad to read and that informs a lot of bury your gays discourse but we must not forget that a lot of people sincerely enjoy writing and reading tragedy and queer audiences still deserve to have good tragedies written by and for them imo

[telltaletypist]

like i hope i don't have to explain that there's a difference between a lovingly crafted tragic romance by a queer author featuring characters that represent them and a shitty tv show introducing a single gay character for brownie points then immediately killing them off for shock value

[basic-bamboo]

The birth of the "bury you gays" trope was that gays were legally not allowed to be positive on screen. The Hays code forbade any positive representation of queer experiences, so if you wanted a queer character in your show or movie or what have you, the most positive depiction you could get away with was having one or both of your queer couple die, implied as a result of their sinful lifestyle and then the other might "go straight" as a result. This morphed into the bury your gays we see today where there's a single queer character introduced for representation and then killed off, with often a hint of "this is a result of not necessarily the fact of them being queer, but related to their "lifestyle.""

This is different from a tragedy or horror story written by a queer creator who wants to write about queer characters where queer characters die in the story because that's just a part of the genre.

obsessed with the concept of being haunted by yourself

[valtsv]

maybe you were someone you hate now, and that person remains a cold hand on your shoulder that says you do not deserve this. perhaps you had to destroy yourself and become someone else to escape something worse - but now they hang over you like a shroud. you abandoned me. everyone did, but you - you were all i had. and you left me to rot. maybe the life you could have had was taken from you - and isn't that a death of sorts? - and now it shadows your every step. you keep moving further away, but it follows. there's a ghost after you, and it wears a frighteningly familiar face.
