I started playing One Shot a few weeks ago, and last night I started In Stars and Time.

Clearly I don't have a favourite type of game.

[trilliath]

I just want a full length adventure novel with a druid just like Halsin and a nonbinary fae-touched mysterious ruthless lonely equally-grown elf featuring polyamory and pansexuality and earned trust that I can lose myself in and cry over is that really so much to ask???

[zosonils]

had a dream that milo murphyslaw retroactively was nonbinary and used exclusively they/them the whole time and i thought to myself wow that's really cool and progressive for the time the show came out it's cool that they did that i wish people on the internet who only heard about mml in passing didn't misgender them so much though and then i woke up like ohhh yeah forgot i live in the mid timeline

I just made a new grapic because I really disliked the image displayed for my free short on itch.io.

Anyway, read about my enby protag in a tiff with their colleague/partner.

Happy Pride Month. 🏳️‍🌈🌈

This is me sliding into your feed to subtly ask you to check out my ONC entry for this year. I will DM you cat pictures as a bribe. You have the choice between Black cat no brain, grumpy queen and old man cat.

In all seriousness, I am just excited to write something coherent I like and hope others enjoy it too (maybe?). Even if it is not my usual genre.

I would answer in the tags but I wanted to make it a little easier by providing links—

I haven't posted anything new in awhile, but I like to think most of my stuff has generally queer vibes.

I have two pieces with actual queer relationships, and those are A Month of Kisses #2 (a ≈2k word one-shot) and Illusory (a ≈28k word superhero story with bonus content and an ongoing spinoff series).

Honestly, with my recent update schedule, you may or may not want to follow me. But there's some gay-type content if it strikes your fancy. :3

can y'all recommend some folks on tumblr that write and post their queer/lgbtqia+ fiction? if you are one of those people, rec yourself! send me your wip intros or whatever, I'm down for that, tag me in posts, whatever

I'm not saying I'm back-back but I want to like, dip my toes back into this thing in the hopes it'll help me get back into writing and I need writerly folks to surround myself with to get there

Trick or Treat? 🦇

Treat! Happy Halloween!

As I'm prepping for CalmWriMo, I'll share some lines from the WIP I want to focus on in November: Enby Witch Kid (not actual title). Also, here is a candy treat as well!

I had written over 23k words of my first draft in third person when I decided the story would work better in first, so now I'm re-writing everything I had so far. This is where I'm at now, 9k words in, as the protagonist enters a portal to a magical world and the story really kicks off.

I gripped Star’s leash tighter and walked toward the back door of the house that had been my safe haven for so long. I reached out and for a moment, my hand rested on the door handle, hesitant to take the next step. Then I pulled the door open with more force than strictly necessary—and saw not the dingy old kitchen I’d left behind, but muted daylight. On the other side of the door was a grassy field, and a forest, and mountains and a brand new sky, full of clouds in different shades of white and grey. Without even registering what I was doing, I held out one hand through the door. On the other side, it was raining.

biting at the bars, WHERE IS SEYMOUR KRELBORN!!!

fact: every single theater production can be improved by lesbians

[ordinorultor-if]

Welcome to Ordinor Ultor!

You’ve ruled the Duchy of Akize, the southwesternmost duchy in the Kingdom of Ribaur, for 15 years, since the year 1107 ME. 

15 years ago, your Liege had your parents executed for a plot they had no part in.

Despite becoming a ruler while only a teenager, your lands have done well - no thanks to your Liege’s proclamations. Despite the annoying interference, you would have been content to just administer your lands and pay your taxes.

But one day, your Liege goes too far, and wrongs one of your siblings - personally.

You’ve had enough. You and your siblings will chafe no longer under the yoke of that tyrant. You will be free from oppression - whatever it takes.

Choose your character's name, the name of their noble house, and whether they are a Duke (male), Duchess (female), or Dux (enby).

Choose which foreign land your mother hailed from - such as the northern court of Ostroway or the island nation of Sayland.

Pick the type of education you received - were you taught how to use the shadows of Intrigue? How to construct Martial strategies? Or something else?

Interact with your friends and family, possibly including your foreign cousins.

Choose how to deal with your Liege - will they be put on Trial, will you lead an armed Rebellion, or will you take to the shadows to have them Assassinated?

Pick from four gender-selectable ROs - two fellow vassals and two foreign nobles.

Deal with various interest groups - such as the Peasants you rule over, your fellow Vassals, the religious head known as the Hierophant, and more.

Ordinor Ultor takes palce in a low(ish...) fantasy world, with the protagonist's home country of Ribaur being inspired by medieval France.

I'm relatively new to coding, so I can't promise a concrete update schedule yet (also, if anyone has any advice and/or resources for me to use, I'd be very grateful!). That being said... VERSION 2 - RELEASED 5/4/25

VERSION 2.5 - COMING NO LATER THAN 8/8/25

I hope everyone enjoys!

Hi!

I'm really enjoying Spell X Sword, and I was wondering what webcomics you've been reading... do you have any recommendations?

Either way, have a great rest of your day!

Sure!

Nix of Nothing - I like a modern fantasy comic with a trans (enby in this case) protagonist! Shocker! (Kay rules.)

Sleepless Domain - A school of magical girls protect a city that is attacked by monsters every night. Been reading SD for years. Cube also did a series of comics about her time teaching English in Japan, and you should read those also!

Aurora - Fantasy adventure so good it makes me angry. Red puts out new pages and I slam my fist into the dirt like a lancer that cannot manage to beat the hero, but swears to reach new heights to challenge and surpass them.

Sever and Pierce - New but off to a good start! Wild west outlaw wakes from being an enslaved vampire spawn almost 60 years after she died, and is pressed into service as an undead hunter.

Clover and Cutlass - Sapphic fantasy with a trans protag? Color me surprised!

No I will never shut up about the glorious rep in Dr stone, especially queer rep

I know going “I love how they don’t make a big deal of it and it’s so natural” then going and making a big deal about it doesn’t make sense but THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF STUFF I HOPED FOR FOR YEARS?? HELLO?? It’s written INTO their characters like it’s amazing

Senku, Stanley, Xeno, Ryusui, Francois , and Gen are the most like obvious.

Senku is clearly not heterosexual. I’m sorry no way a heterosexual man shows that much disgust when a girl confesses to him. I’m not saying he’s gay even if I HC him as such but at the very least he’s on the aromantic or asexual spectrum. I personally think if he wasn’t aroace he would be gay. Ik it’s probably a coping mechanism but it’s also funny to watch Senku flirt with guys whenever he’s terrified and or they’re abt to kill him

Stanley and Xenos relationship makes me want to drop to my knees and wail. So so beautiful. Xenos obviously a bad person but I love how they show his soft side for Stanley the way he looks at him when he’s a statue when he gives him little fake cigarettes it’s so elegant. Drst writes characters who are considered bad people to have soft sides like Xeno and also make the protagonists people who aren’t really saints at all, making them feel more human. Stanley is clearly in love with Xeno which is why he gets so damn peeved when he gets kidnapped and there’s no hetero explanation for the scene where Stanley gets revived again. And I love how they made Stanley the most masculine man who literally served in the military gay and wear makeup. Literally. Hes not afraid to wear lipstick like YES I ADORE IT. Again he SERVED IN THE MILITARY he has like a 10 pack and is masculine as hell and he’s still such a well written homosexual character who’s comfortable in his sexuality and gender. Epitome of masculinity fr fr.

Francois is enby, using they/them pronouns. I love how Ryusui says gender sex race nothing matters when it comes to sheer talent, which is why the writers don’t tell much too about them. They’re just pure talent and live to serve and even though they’re a butler they’re still not robotic and stuff, same with Senku- he’s not that into romance but he’s still definitely not nonchalant at all.

Ryusui , the greediest man in the world. He desires everyONE and everyTHING. My pansexual probably polyamorous KING. He don’t care abt ur gender or whatever he wants YOU!!

Gen Asagiri, this one.. he’s definitely queer... im not saying it just because he’s the most feminine out of all the men (though I LOVE how again they made a very feminine male character and made him so well written) , but because of the clear admiration he has towards Senku. You could say it’s not romantic that’s fine - QPR sengen still peak. In my opinion he’s either gay or bisexual. He barely also shows interest in women, when he does it’s clearly for keeping up his facade. Again, he’s genuinely mesmerized by Senku and what he does. I love sengen but if we’re talking canon, they’re definitely one sided. The way I see it, no way Gen doesn’t feel anything for Senku. Also cmon.. just look at the guy.. listen to his voice… cmon. Cmon. Cmon. Cmo-

Again I’m OBSESSED with the way their sexualities are written into their characters and personalities, and how it’s shown so well.. if that makes sense.. love this show so much please if you haven’t seen Dr Stone watch it if you want a show with glorious characters, story, and rep for neurodivergent people (autism specifically with Senku and Sai) and queer people.

Before I hit the hay and leave to the concrete jungle, I have to post these devious queer lists (like tier list but for the el gee bee tee) I made on VC . I'm tormenting my friend with look outside rn and it will become your problem too, dear reader!

Yes I will explain all of these just uhh scroll down ig

Rustle rustle grabs my papers . Ahem .

Okay I'm following the first tier list's order (besides Sam, he goes first) while I try to remember my reasons at like midnight rn so bear with me here.

Sam is an any pronouns bisexual because he is the self insert protagonist. It would be weird for him to be anything else for that reason alone. Don't tell me I'm wrong for this one or any of these for that matter I WILL kill you IRL with MY ARMY OF SQUIRRELS

Okay anyway Lyle is a cis gay man because at least the mlm part is canon. He doesn't strike me as someone particularly curious about his gender he just rlly wants sam's dick I mean lips. Yeah.

Hellen is a cis but butch lesbian ! She has lesbian energy I think she and Sam can be Yuri if you squint really hard. I have a reason as to why she's cis but you'll have to go through my 7 woke opinions to hear why.

Leigh is also a lesbian because hi Hellen x Leigh nation I see you. Also she/they/it is a diabolical pronoun line up, don't think I've ever met someone with those pronouns who doesn't bite people irl. She would bite your lips off if you tried to kiss her so like don't do that okay? Okay.

SHE'S CUT OFF IN BOTH IMAGES BUT THAT'S BERYL. TRANSFEMME LESBIAN BECAUSE OF A FUNNY MEME I SAW ABOUT TOP SURGERY OKAY THAT'S THE ONLY REASON BACK OFF

SAME GOES FOR FREDERIC EXCEPT ITS THE LINE "DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF DAY THE FRENCH GO EITHER WAY" I had to make sure that aligned properly with my dope as hell animatic (I'M WORKING ON IT). Also he's kinda transition goal so he gets to be transmasc tralalalala

Aster I imagined using Tumblr . Like the way he talks reminds me of Tumblr users, as a Tumblr user using Tumblr rn. Why does that matter? Idk bro but have you ever met a cishet person here? Yeah that's what I thought.

Okay Dan was like the second one I did. He gave me the energy of my former high school cishet classmates that would grab each other's asses but claim that they were just friends like okay bro whatever you say ig

With Jeanne I had the idea of her having been in a situationship with a biker back in the 90s and it just left her kinda confused, I think she has bigger things to worry about atm

AURELIUS' TWINK TIER HAS CONTEXT BUT I FORGOT WHAG IT WAS I think I made like a joke that the way he talks reminded me of TikTok femboys and my friend pinned the message in our chat and yeah so he got his own special tier, gj Aurelius!

Papineau was hard but my friend convinced me of them being enby cuz of the whole janitor thing so congrats you've been promoted to he/they. Also aroace cuz dawg's too occupied with cleaning to worry about relationships

Roach and Morton are both bugs and I don't think bugs really conform to our standards of love and gender plus they're too busy trying to not get eaten by rat baby rn

Xaria and Monty swapped genders back in highschool and one time I saw someone say that they're qpr together and god that's so true to me, thanks kind stranger for your wisdom

Ernest is a transition goal so same thing as Frederic, to the transmasc tier with you. Additionally! I think he doesn't really worry too much about finding love again because he has this whole muse thing going on. He liked this lady once, she's probably dead now and he sings songs about missing her. See my vision,,, (I love Ernest so much I might be his only fan)

Sybil doesn't remember jackshit but she's straight and she's transfemme, not that that matters much considering she's like all slopped now but good for her (in my head she once looked like elendira from the trigun manga,,)

I used cute moth philippe here but I was referring to the evil fungus. The evil fungus belongs into the derogatory tier because fuck you

Jasper... Let it go bro... That's the only reason he's in derogatory and also I don't think he's trans, he would watch conspiracy theory shorts

Oh yeah then the kids. Kids can be gay! I was very bi when I was younger . But ranking them in the sexuality list felt kinda weird so I just didn't do it. Rat baby got put into xeno tier because it doesn't have any gendered pronouns, does it even have a gender, is it even aware full stop?

Okay that's all I got, this post is so long. It's late so if I missed anyone chew me up in the tags idm . If u disagree lmk as well cuz I'm very much a multi-hc person and I am very agreeable. Though I'm always right so like heh I'm not expecting THAT to happen... (I hope you can tell that this shit is so unsrs)

Gn look outside nation... Sincerely, Benny mcSluggins
