That Good Gay Shit™

T. M. Kuta (they/xe), T.M. to some and Ty to most, is a child of fandom. Best described as 4.5 excited ferrets in a tacky Hawaiian shirt, they live to scribble and write lesbian/sapphic contemporary romances and queer speculative fiction. Like any good lesbian, Ty lives in a historic house on the East Coast of the United States with their three cats, The Tora Bean, Casper the Great and Powerful, and Channing Channing of the Catonsville Channings. When not writing, xe can be found reading, cycling, and procrastinating as @tmkutawrites wherever fine social medias are sold. They are currently most active on TikTok and Instagram. Note: T. M. Kuta's works can be, and often are, 18+. Please interact with discretion.

Looking specifically into the topic to write a character with hand/arm loss below the elbow, but I will take whatever dolks reccomend! Books, podcasts, YouTubers, Instagram/TikTok influencers... jsut trying to learn more to make sure I write the best character possible. Thanks!

divorced couple energy ship will always be immaculate to me. we hate each other. we've seen each other naked. I know how you take your morning coffee. I will never make you your morning coffee again. get it yourself. here you go, I gave it to you anyway. you disgust me. I will always be somewhat in love with you. I will be yours forever. you're not mine anymore. you will always be mine. fuck you. let's fuck, for old time's sake. did you steal my cd? no, no. keep it.

its a cliche but im a slut for when a character is introduced as super chill and goofy and then you later find out theyre chill and goofy because theyre too powerful to be touched. the level 100 wizard whos already figured out everything and is just vibing now. big fan.

[scribeherself]

people will say “they’re only friends” and then show me two people who would crawl through broken glass to hear the other laugh once. two people who have memorized each other’s coffee orders, fears, childhood stories, and emergency contacts. two people who would haunt each other’s houses as ghosts. be serious.

[scribeherself]

Just an FYI—the original intention of this post was to challenge the way people say only friends, as though friendship is somehow lesser than other forms of love. As if being deeply known, cherished, and chosen by another person could ever be a small thing. Normalize profound platonic love. Some of the most fulfilling, transformative, and enduring relationships we will ever have are friendships. 🫶🏼

”‘Just’ friendship? A poor modifier for so high and honorable a state.”

(dry look) Nobody gets to tell me when to cringe. I reserve such assessments to those who have sufficient experience to correctly judge what’s cringeworthy.

One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.

Shout out to @queerliblib for having unlimited copies of a bunch of disability books this month—that normally have long waitlists. My county library has shockingly few nonfiction books on disability, so this is awesome!

🎉 we’re doing our best!

i was at an event last night in california and i went to the bar to order wine bc wine was like, a thing, and i looked at the menu and saw i was completely out of my depth bc idk any wine names, so i turned to my right and there was a man in a gorgeous suit standing at the bar beside me and i said “do you know anything about wine?” and he said “a little, yes!” i told him i liked white and dry wines and asked if he’d order for me. he asked the server for two glasses and had one poured for each of us and then he clinked his glass on mine but he didn’t take a sip, he just watched me taste mine and then he asked what i thought and i said “it’s pretty good, but like i said, i wouldn’t know.” he laughed and told me to have a good time & i walked away. fifteen minutes later i found out he’s the winemaker.

Nothing triggers the ole grad school trauma like researching a lesbian bar for the short story you're currently working on. And joining random facebook groups hoping they let you in so you can get an understanding of THE VIBES and be able to describe the interior beyond the three grainy inside shots from the website of the local Houston lgbtq website lol

(For those of you who don't know, I was a lesbian historian in a past life and my thesis was on lesbian bars.)

[tmkutawrites]

How cool would it be if I made the cover of this short story look like an old gay club matchbook? IF I MATCHED THE LOGO FROM THE BAR SOMEHOW????????

i will never fucking make my cover back if I do that and sell this at 99c but its for the love of the game at this point and being a nerdy lesbian historian on main

[tmkutawrites]

update we're fucking DOING IT my cover artist is working on it right now!!!!

[tmkutawrites]

omg i got the concept drafts today and omg omg omg y'all aren't ready Y"ALL AREN'T READY

I WASN"T READY OMG
