I lament at how funger only came out now & not in early 2010s where we couldāve had fungerstuck die young Kesha letās see how far weāve come Discord Iām howling at the Rher marina oh oh no oh no oh bad Apple touhou
mostly sad fear and hunger termina didnāt come out when my art was at its prime
i write because there isnāt nearly enough fucked-up queer stuff in the world. donāt get me wrong, i love the sweet sapphics as much as the next person; but us of that kind is the only kind of us acceptable to the mainstream. whereās our chaos, our complexities, whereās our destruction? where is it, on our own terms?
because of that, i attempt to explore modern identity, queerness, and relationships through the latent abjection that is inherent within oneself: touching on the haphazard, taboo, and less-than-desired spaces that we take up. my stories intend to be a reclamatory celebrationāand catharsisāof the darker human aspects we prefer not to think about.
that is to say:Ā i write aboutĀ girls, sapphics,Ā friendships and destructions;Ā i thrive with fucked-up queer stuff; glorious girls and fallen girls, walking-dead girls and manic-made girls; i'm in love with the deranged and the apotheotic. Ā
are you?
