Perpetual Confusion

You can probably figure it out on your own... I'm in like every fandom, so you'll probably see a lot of different things here.

It’s that time of the year again :)

princess: maid, sometimes i get the distinct sense that you don't respect me

maid: why would that be, your highness. i hold the upmost respect for those i am ordained to serve

princess: dunno. just a vibe i guess. sometimes i feel like you see me as lesser

maid: [setting out her clothes for her] i have absolutely no idea why that would be.

princess: well like.. you always have this look in your eye...

maid: it's morning. pills, now princess.

princess: yes ma'am. anyways i dunmo like sometimes it feels like you don't view me as the one in control...?

maid: i have no idea why in the world you would think that? i am here purely to serve at your pleasure, your highness. alright princess, come with me, it's bathroom and teethbrushing time.

princess: aw can i have the bubblegum toothpaste today?

maid: bubblegum is only for good girls who floss, your highness.

princess: hmph. i hate flossing.

maid: then i suppose we will have to use mint toothpaste for today, my princess...

princess: N.. NNO... i'll floss.. sorry ma'am...

maid: that's right. you're such a well behaved girl. see, i'm not sure what you mean. i'd say our dynamic is perfectly befitting of a maid and her princess

princess: r.. really..? well okay.. can you shower with me today..? i get scared

maid: [smiling very very wide] of course i can, your highness. i am here to serve you first and foremost : )

[swagophile]

princess: you really think i'm a princess..? like do you think people like and respect and fear me and shit.. like-

maid: language.

princess: sorry ma'am. but um yeah like the other princesses say i'm a joke and the way you treat me would be totally humiliating and embarassing for them

maid: do the other princesses have their maids dress them? help them brush their teeth? educate them on all the proper ways to be a good girl

princess: no, but-

maid: well then if anything, it sounds as if those princesses have very bad maids. perhaps you should wear that as a point of pride, your highness. a good princess has only the best maid

princess: yyeah but.. um.. do you really think i'm a good princess..?

maid: my lady.. look towards me please.. aww.. do not frown so much princess, of course i do. you're a very special wonderful princess to me, alright? now can you smile for me? say "i'm a special princess", your highness

princess: [smiling] i'm a special princess...

maid: that's right! and that's why i do my best to treat you like one, my lady

princess: b-but i can't do all the stuff the other princesses do.. i've never been able to wear the nice dresses or give the speeches or talk like a princess or that kinda sh- that stuff...

maid: and so? even if that's true, what does it matter, your highness? you are a special wonderful princess just by being who you are. it's not something you have to act.. it's something inside you that makes you my wonderful little girl

princess: [rosy-cheeked] a-awwwh.. wwait your what?

maid: [looking ahead] my wonderful princess, your highness. what do you think i said?

princess: hhehehe... i'm yours...? but.. you're my maid.. you're mine...

maid: [smiling down at her very wide] perhaps, then, we can be each other's :)

princess: wwhhehehheheh.. yes ma'am... i like you mom- maid.. you're very nice to me...

maid: i love you too, my dear. [kissing her forehead] allow me to tuck you in, i wouldn't want you to have nightmares.

princess: yay!!!!

Hey! If you like science fiction and you like reading books, you're in luck! I just released a new book bundle on itch featuring 6 books (and one short story)!

Included in the bundle are:

NEXUS ALPHA

An exploration of the meaning of consent under capitalism through some of the sexiest and most violent Mecha Smut you've ever read.

It truly has everything, from copious lesbians to armored core references. It even has a sequel, also included in this bundle!

TEETH

Teeth is a bit heavier on the action (and trauma) and lighter on the explicit sex. It's about a woman who has repressed who she is for most of her life and largely considers who she is horrible and unlovable, and she hates herself. Then, through random chance, she is forced to confront and become the version of herself she's always been denied, including the parts she's been terrified of, the parts she's been raised to see as monstrous.

Except that it's also about becoming a werewolf and eating people

Not So Different

Not So Different is one of my oldest novels. It's a nonlinear cyberpunk action romance with 3 pov characters and they're all in love with each other. It's cute and it's poly and it's deeply bisexual and it's a setting so fun I spun it off into a ttrpg setting (and system).

Among Brighter Stars

Among Brighter Stars is what happened when I decided to write my version of Star Trek. Think of it as a 2-part pilot and 2 episodes, rolled into a single novel, starring the crew of the ISS Solipsis as they make their maiden voyage - and first contact.

It was really fun to try and create a new starship captain who felt both fit for the role and like a brand new character, so she's a little Janeway, a little Sisko, a little Picard and a dash of Kirk, but very much her own person.

And finally, Principles of Non-Euclidean Romance

It's a fun sci Fi romantic comedy in the style of Terry Pratchett, complete with little asides in the footnotes. It stars an eldritch abomination that comes to earth to listen to the Vengaboys but then learns about gender, has a crisis, falls in love and starts a time loop to cope.

If any of these catch your fancy, consider picking up the bundle and letting me know what you think :)

I love Tumblr like someone could just post “women” and hundreds of people would be like “yes. Quality content right here. Reblog reblog reblog reblog”

People underestimate how much it fucks you up to be subtly excluded as a kid. I would try to talk to my classmates and be met with disinterest or annoyance. The one friend I had, who I clung to and nodded along to his every word, had other friends he liked just as much or more. And his other friends didn’t care for me at all.

I look back at pictures from the time and see how separated I was from them. I remember knowing I was different. I remember posing questions about the world to the girls playing next to me and realizing that they had never asked the same ones to themselves. That the ways we thought couldn’t be more different.

I kept myself amused with my own fanatical stories and musings in my head. I would wander the playground on a circular path, imagining a friend and being sorely disappointed when it didn’t feel as real as I’d hoped.

There was a bubble separating me from everyone else, thin, and nearly invisible, but with a pearly sheen you could catch under the right conditions. I knew it was there, they knew it was there, and it changed me

I'm both concerned and comforted by how many people seem to relate to this

[hashtagloveloses]

if you’re a new tumblr user from tiktok or IG or something and only like posts and dont reblog them yeah people will think you’re a bot and block you but you will also make this website actively worse. they want “algorithmic” users like you, served recommended posts through likes, not people who just follow each other and respond to the direct chronological feed. there is a reason this website is still better than the rest, even with all its problems, do not ruin this

[hashtagloveloses]

ok i need to make this clearer: if you do not reblog posts and only like them you are contributing to this site actively getting worse and becoming like all the apps you hate. keep likes to things you just wanna keep off your blog. reblog everything else. ESPECIALLY fanart, which always needs a reblog.

[hashtagloveloses]

and FYI: what i’m saying here is backed up by tumblr themselves. they admit this publicly.

if you want a good RECENT (as of the end of February 2022) overview of what is going on behind the scenes at tumblr, it is basically what i’ve been saying for years: the core staff is tiny, constantly not being listened to when they advocate for us, the community, and working there is a nightmare:

The inside story of how Tumblr lost its way

And how it can find itself again for a new generation.

[taikeero-lecoredier]

Reblogging to encourage people instead of only liking is really not that fucking hard if you dont want people to be discouraged cuz their stuff get zero interactions and 99% useless likes and be driven off the Platform.

[pixel-mess]

Thank yall for this! I thought reblogging wasnt good because that it just puts stuff out there that is already out there, but now i am going to reblog bc I learned and stuff ig. IDK what i was going to say

the default way for things to taste is good. we know this because "tasty" means something tastes good. conversely, from the words "smelly" and "noisy" we can conclude that the default way for things to smell and sound is bad. interestingly there are no corresponding adjectives for the senses of sight and touch. the inescapable conclusion is that the most ordinary object possible is invisible and intangible, produces a hideous cacophony, smells terrible, but tastes delicious. and yet this description matches no object or phenomenon known to science or human experience. so what the fuck

[skluug]

this is what ancient greek philosophy is like

[sjwcringecompilation]

The thing I like about all this robotgirl, slimegirl, catgirl stuff is it's all about constructed femininity. As in none of these girls fit the "adult human female" definition that transphobes throw around. Like yes my biology, or lack thereof, is utterly alien to you, yet I'm going to be a girl regardless.
