Some time ago (I think in 2021) I had to go see a neurologist over really scary symptoms that resembled seizures. I was a nervous wreck about what I was feeling and had barely slept all week, which seemed to be apparent to the doc’s assistant when I sat down in the exam room for questioning or whatever. Dude was pretty young and soft spoken, around my age. He was laser focused doing something on one of those tablet-laptop Surface things as I spoke, presumably writing down my symptoms.

Midway through talking about my symptoms my voice audibly started shaking as I was describing them, clearly upset.

In the middle of my monologue he turns the tablet to face me, closes whatever program he has open and the wallpaper is this fucking collage of pictures of lord farquaad from shrek, lovingly decorated. Dude just sat there placidly smiling at me until I noticed and stopped dead in the middle of a sentence. We sat there in silence like this for like a solid minute before I started wheezing laughing. Before I could even say anything else or process it he picked up the tablet and wordlessly left the room, and I just sat there dumbfounded until the doctor showed up. 10/10 doctor experience tbh

I didn’t own a cell phone at the time to get a photo so this rendition from memory is all I can provide you

Reblogging this bc it’s making rounds again

[shozawayo]

Cass, who sees a video online of a dad letting his daughter give him a makeover, gets instantly intrigued. She quickly goes down a rabbit hole and quietly takes notes. Bruce, who discovers what caught her attention, gently offers to sit down and do makeovers with her. While Cass didn't grow up having normal childhood experiences, that doesn't mean they can't make up for lost time now. It doesn't even matter that she's already an adult. He's more than happy to indulge her.

Hours later, photos of Bruce Wayne and his daughter Cassandra Cain-Wayne are uploaded to his official account. Each picture shows off his full face of makeup, his hair styled with clips, and his newly painted nails. They practically break the internet, and #girldadbrucewayne immediately takes off.

While it is canon that Tommy experiences some empathy, I do still like to headcanon him as being low empathy because like, it makes sense for his character duh but also I think it’s interesting contrast to Billy’s hyper empathy

[screwlowes]

Oooh interesting...

I've never seen them that way, but you make very good points... I think I might have to read them as autistic now! Thank you for layering my experience!

[batsonmyboxers]

Admittedly, this post was made from a cluster b perspective as I (semi diagnosed BPDer) have always read Billy as BPD, and Tommy self identifies as having sociopathy (ASPD) a few times. HOWEVER, neurodiversity has a lot of overlap across different diagnosis’s or spectrums or disorders so I love seeing different interpretations!

[screwlowes]

That's cool!!!

[thebibliosphere]

I feel like I say this ad nauseam, but every time I worry I'm too annoying about promoting my work, someone always comments something along the lines of "I've been following you for over a decade, what do you mean you wrote an international bestselling book?"

And I'm like, welp, time to reblog some stuff, I guess ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

[spacecluster]

You what

[thebibliosphere]

I... okay, hold on. I've got a copy-paste response for this...

(ID in alt)

Hi, I'm Joy Demorra, international bestselling author and general disaster.

This is my book. Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites is the first book in the Hunger Pangs series, a queer, polyamorous, paranormal, gaslamp slow-burn romance featuring vampires, werewolves, and various other creatures that go bump in the night.

It started out life as a Tumblr shit post and became an international bestseller within several hours of pre-orders going up. No one was more surprised than me.

It features Nathan, a deaf, disabled werewolf newly returned from war, and Vlad, a neurodivergent mad scientist vampire trying to unionize the workforce of the island in between tripping over all his various ongoing projects. (free healthcare, free schooling, y’know, small hobbies)

The other main character is Ursula, an all-powerful [REDACTED] working to save the world from imminent ecological disaster. The main romance arc of book one focuses on Vlad x Nathan, with Ursula forming her own relationships with them alluded to in the next book.

No love triangles here. Just three highly competent bisexuals sharing the same brain cell the closer they are to each other.

The world is set in a pseudo-regency meets fake Victorian Gaslamp Fantasy world, complete with gothic castles, enchanted forests, and just a smidge of industrial coal dust.

One of my favorite reviews ever described it as "the queer, goth love child of Terry Pratchett meets Jane Austen," so if that sounds interesting to you, you can check out my links below.

Buy the (high heat) Flirting With Fangs Edition Here.

Buy the (medium heat) Fluff and Fangs Edition Here.

Why are there two versions, and what's the difference between them? Glad you asked! You can also find content tags on my website at www.joydemorra.com if you want to find out more.

I'd put them on the book itself, but Amazon would pitch a fit.

So, yeah. I wrote a book. I'm writing several more. I'm just recovering from almost dying in the same year I published the book. Because that was also a thing. Anyway. ✨Book✨

[thebibliosphere]

#OP should write a book — good news!

[thebibliosphere]

Like clockwork, lmao.

[thebibliosphere]

Twice in one month! New record!

[frizzycrls]

Okay, this sounds like a book worth checking out! Out of curiosity, are there any plans for releasing a hardcover version or would that be a 'down the line when the full series is released' sort of thing?

[thebibliosphere]

Thanks for asking! At the time when I first released these, my options as a self-pub author were limited in terms of getting it distributed, and then after the market options expanded it just became a task I never got around to.

I am *hoping* by the time the second book comes around, I will have hardback options available for all my stuff that are affordable and widely available.

At the moment I just have the limited edition hardbacks that were supported by my patrons over on Patreon. I do have a few boxes of those left--and I will be putting those up for sale on my Payhip hopefully soon.

So the answer is, yes! Eventually, hopefully. I'm just working on a lot of things and trying to get it all lined up :)

I know this is the evil capitalist site, but this just made me laugh

Sex is cheap - fluff though? Now that will cost you! 😂

[thebibliosphere]

Oh, so the fluff version isn’t listing the Amazon price listing. That’s Ingram’s pricing. It’s just autogenerating. If you go onto my actual Amazon author page, you’ll find the proper listings.

Also lol, the ai summary. I hadn’t seen that yet. Good to know what’s happening while I’m putting all my effort into other platforms.

[what-even-is-thiss]

If any of y’all are the praying type, one of my uncles was recently in a really bad car accident and is going in for surgery on his spine tomorrow so if you could send some good vibes to my family that would be appreciated

[what-even-is-thiss]

My uncle needed to have an emergency surgery to fix a leaky artery and the spinal surgery got put off but the good news is that the surgery on his arteries went well and he’s not losing blood anymore. Idk when the spinal surgery will be now but he’s feeling a bit better now that he’s not losing blood

[what-even-is-thiss]

He’s told me that the worst part of being hospitalized is that he can’t smoke weed so I think he’s doing at least a little better
