Non-romantic queer stories may not be the solution to all of my problems but they also aren't the solution to none of them.

Theres one line in the books (i forget where, i gave my copies back to the library) where Murderbot says something along the lines of "ARTs reply doesnt translate to human words, but trust me that it was very rude"

And it has convinced me that they cuss each other out using archaic malware attacks

TAZ Sapphic Week day 7: secret

[cobalt-knave]

"you taste like ashes" one of my favorite lines in this insane series ever. this moment will be carved into my gravestone. drusilla tells spike he tastes like ashes before he even knows he's in love with buffy, and one could say that it's in regards to buffy being some equivalent to sunlight, so appealing and warm but undoubtedly damage-inflicting on spike. of course she'll burn him to ash. but spike tells buffy "im drowning in you," which isn't burning, it's the floods. she was going to be a fireman when the floods rolled back. spike is drowning. and then he gets a soul, and THAT burns, and she's burning him up from the inside, and he dies, swallowed in light. his love for buffy does, eventually, turn him to ash.

Random linguistic worldbuilding: A language with six sets of pronouns, which are set by one's current state of existence. There's a separate pronoun for people who are alive, people who are dead, and potential future people who are yet to be born, and the ambiguous ones of "may or may not be alive or aleady dead", "may or may not have even been born yet", and the ultimate general/ambiguous all-covering one that covers all ambiguous states.

The culture has a specific defined term for that tragic span of time when a widow keeps accidentally referring to their spouse with living pronouns. New parents-to-be dropping the happy surprise news of a pregnancy by referring to their future child with the "is yet to be born" pronoun instead of a more ambiguous one and waiting for the "wait what did you just say?" reactions.

Someone jokingly referring to themselves with the dead person pronouns just to highlight how horrible their current hangover is. A notorious aspiring ladies' man who keeps trying to pursue women in their 20s despite of approaching middle age fails to notice the insult when someone asks him when he's planning to get married, and uses the pronoun that implies that his ideal future bride may not even be born yet.

A mother whose young adult child just moved away from home for the first time, who continues to dramatically refer to their child with "may or may not be already dead" until the aforementioned child replies to her on facebook like "ma stop telling people I'm dead" and having her respond with "well how could I possibly know that when you don't even write to us? >:,C"

emo over the demon’s lexicon?   you’re not alone.   here’s a reference post of the short stories written for that world,  because sarah rees brennan both loves us and wants to destroy us.   these are in what i believe is chronological order in terms of events,  but there’s really no order to them except for the ones with multiple parts.

the arundel tomb

sorcerer and stone / part two

* all the way back where we started from

nick’s first word (a christmas story)

quiet in the house

* the coward with a kiss

* nick and jamie go to the movies / *part two

* + an au where arthur raised his demon child

enjoy the pain.

* stories with spoilers for the series are denoted with an asterisk

ive relistened to this podcast three times so i finally did fanart. kane and feels, paranormal investigators.......

my commentary on the designs:

kane - needs to wear more amulets but that requires more research and thought. i need to give him a coat that has random pockets sewn onto it for his materials. in that first pic, thats like normal kane, the guy youd see at the beginning of the series, and the sketch next to him is wonderland pt 2 kane. and the other sketches are like post-town council. i need to incorporate that earring in my second pic into earlier designs too, because i needed to add some signifier of my feelings on his sexuality (he is sooo gay). his full outfit is nice, but very old, something he wore as a professor and something he cannot afford to replace. his coat is visibly worn but under that he wears well cared for vest/shirt/slacks, with thin soled dress shoes.

feels - i wanted to play w the idea that hes mediterranean (specifically greek) on at least one parent's side. i gave him dark curls cut short because hes very active, and a large nose because it fits his profile. the square glasses are because i feel that round glasses dont have enough shape contrast on a round face. in general, feels dresses very plainly and quite utilitarian, with only coats and jackets being his stylistic flare. i wouldve given him boots but instead i just gave him durable dress shoes.

theyd both be wearing boots in the minisodes and feels definitely dresses down (in more blue collar clothing) for daytrippers. i wanna do daytrippers designs so bad -_- i have a lot of thoughts abt how kane would look

Kane & Feels s3 Premiere Countdown!

Day 4: The Rock and the Shaman

Fuck it. Shitpost time

[cobalt-knave]

By far the best part about Kane and Feels is the fact that these two cannot for the life of them use age-appropiate language. Here are two modern, middle-aged men who use words like "courtship" and "dame" in the same breath as they call each other "my dude". Big fucking mood. Keep it up you funky paranormal investigators.
