After his execution, a detested crown prince discovers himself in the past without his status and power but with enough knowledge to seek revenge. A fantasy BL light novel with 15 full color illustrations. Full of drama, betrayal, time travel, and found family, with blood and gore sprinkled in Unlucky Clover is ride of a read. $7.99 for 220k words of protagonist Willow's unlucky attempt to fix the future he ruined. With the help of street rat Crow and the mysterious stranger Ny he might just stumble his way out of his mess.

I was the art director and illustrated art for this novel alongside the amazing Jiminsi! This book is a wild ride and well worth checking out! It was really fun making the character designs for the cast as well as working with Jiminsi for all the illustrations! The main trio is a treat of found family and the supporting cast is a joy to read how all their stories interconnect.

This is Kiwi Rat's first novel and you can see their eclectic influences from Terry Pratchett's Discworld to magical girl anime to Villianess webtoons bouncing out of the page and creating their own unique world.

Reason why I am extremely worried over the state of Twitter right now as an artist because it's where I got my main audience. No other site have that reach and dark times are coming for artists that cannot rely on Youtube, instagram or tiktok because none of those sites were made for them...

i so love tumblr because you can just talk about nico without getting harassed (unlike my experience with twitter.. i had to go on private each time i spoke about him at some point because he was so hated #misunderstood)

look at him. how can anyone hate him he can never do anything wrong! nico is all of us!! #he never moves on 😌

Update: I have survived the surgery and am now resting at home. They took out the right side of my fallopian tubes and ovaries (I still have the left side) but I was told it was benign so no cancer!

I am just taking one victory at a time but I am very relieved I'll worry about medical bills later... But thanks everyone for the well wishes.

please help a disabled author?

I was just on hold with the government for ten hours trying to get (some of) my benefits renewed.

I did not get my benefits renewed.

If people buy my (incredibly queer, weird, fantasy/SF/horror) short stories, I can get off benefits, and then I will not have to be on the phone with the government for ten hours.

And you get cool short stories.

Hello! I'm Julie from Cariona and I just want to ask if you're interested in doing ads/promotions here on Tumblr? If yes, how much do you charge per reblog?

For proof of legitimate promotions, you can check @catchymemes, @sulfatto, @isnt, and many others.

Website for reference: http://cariona.com Over 200 five star Facebook reviews: https://www.facebook.com/carionaproducts/reviews

Please feel free to respond here or reach out to us on marketing@cariona.com for more details! Thank you once again and have a great week!

absolutely fascinating that you decided to send this as an ask, when you also DM'd me. unfortunately, you may realize that this was a mistake - you see, asks can be responded to publicly.

so, allow me to respond:

hi, Julie! I'd never heard about Cariona before, so I decided to go poking around, and I learned something!

well, I learned a few things, actually. from your site, Cariona seems to be a small business that sells reusable menstrual products. and while I will never advertise a product that I haven't used, there's nothing wrong with wanting people to promote your company.

I have, however, found a few problems.

the first thing I found was this post by @crafiet from May 12th of last year, saying that shortly after making a purchase on your website, her debit card info was leaked, and used to make facebook ad purchases.

it seems that at least back then, your payment system was insecure. I'm really hoping you've fixed that, because. yikes.

and when I messaged crafiet to ask if it was okay if I linked to her post, she also mentioned that even though your website says you ship from Georgia, her package came shipped from China, and took a long time to arrive.

that's pretty sketchy.

the next thing I found was some folks talking about receiving cards with their orders that have a QR code on them with the words "Scan For God's Message To You", and that on the other side, have this bible verse:

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. Psalm 63:1

fun fact! that's from the King James Version (which I have a lot of thoughts about, but I'm not going to get into that right now).

additional fun fact! that particular psalm is from that time David fled to the wilderness because Jonathan's dad was trying to kill him.

and that's why I have to talk about the verses that follow it:

(ID in alt text; link to the NIV version if you want it)

so...are we like 100% sure it's god that David is thinking about here? because...I mean...that's pretty horny, right? and all of this while on the run from his boyfriend's dad?

I'm not saying anything, but like...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it's a weird verse to choose for this, that's all.

anyway, back to you, Cariona: after seeing people talking about the bible verse cards, I decided to poke around your website more, and allll the way at the bottom of it, finally found your "About Us" page, which ends with this:

...look. there's nothing inherently wrong with being christian. but to say "we do not wish to impose any beliefs on our customers", and to then put bible verse cards in people's orders? that's sneaky, and I don't like it.

I also think it's a bit sneaky that you've flagged your tumblr account as pro-trans on shinigami eyes. at least, I assume you flagged it yourselves, because I didn't find a single post on your blog that mentions trans issues.

(though you have, entertainingly, reblogged some stranger things fanart, and a castiel cat cosplay)

and while your website uses very gender-neutral language, your "About Us" page doesn't say anything about being inclusive of trans people, just that you don't "discriminate against anyone who has a different belief than ours."

unfortunately, that's not good enough for me. I have this sneaking suspicion that "trans people are the gender they say they are" counts as a "different belief".

lastly, since you say on your website that people can message you asking about your faith, I had a friend do that!

baptists. you're baptists, which is a pretty conservative denomination.

and according to you, part of that 10% you donate goes to your local churches, and some missionaries. who are also probably baptists.

so.

in the end, I just...don't trust you? I don't trust that the 10% you're donating is going to organizations that aren't homophobic or transphobic. I don't believe that you're not trying to impose your beliefs on others, because that's what you're obviously doing. I mean, your "About Me" says that one of the reasons you built this company is to spread the gospel.

and I especially don't like it that you reached out to me (an openly queer person) for promotion without mentioning that you're an evangelical company.

so to answer your question, Julie: no. I am not interested in doing ads or promotions for you on tumblr. and honestly, you probably picked the wrong website for this kind of thing.
