[id: a digital drawing of darien and maxim from between realms. they are asleep in bed together, with maxim's head resting on darien's chest. maxim is a fallen angel with brown skin, shoulder length white hair and white eyebrows, a large hooked nose, and scars where his wings should be. darien is a white human man with short blonde hair, freckles on his face and shoulders, and top surgery scars. the top half of his face is cut off at the top of the image. there are yellow streaks of light shining across the image, and a white blanket covering their lower bodies. /end id]

Hello and Good day!

I wanted to ask if it would be alright if I drew your Mantis Ladies from Venus, I adore the design, and find them quite neat! If not, that is absolutely cool! I hope you have a nice day and my apologies if I come off strangely.

Kind regards :)

Absolutely!! I'm glad you like my Venusians :D tag me when you're done if you post it I wanna see

[ID: two digital collages, showing a renaissance era sketch of Atlas from greek myth, edited so he's wearing mechanical supports on his leg and arm, and he's holding up the planet Mars. The title "They Colonized Mars" is overlaid on top of Mars. The background has images of cities and stars overlaid on top of each other. The first one is in black and white, and the second is in shades of blue and pink. /end ID]

Hi hello I made more alternate posters/covers for my sci-fi wip, styled after vintage horror films :-)

[tlirswriting]

be the body horror you want to see in the world

Clasps your shoulder. I'm changing it back again I think I got it pretty good the first time with "they colonized mars". It's giving like an "it came from outer space" type of vibe

Also as you may know I have been slightly dissatisfied with the working title "colonized mars" for some time (having already changed it slightly once), & I'm considering turning to the more verbose style of titling common to classic sci-fi for inspiration rather than continuing to wring my brain for Adjective Noun combinations. Which I think could be really fun and better suit the Vibe I'm going for but we'll see lol

My main goal as a writer is to hurt you badly

[tlirswriting]

Stealing this from a conversation with my friend but my sci-fi wip "colonized mars" has an audience of like, weird trans people. This is for fans of decolonization and old sci-fi. This is for people who sympathize with HAL 9000. This is for cunty disabled people. It's such a particular vibe going on. But if that sounds relevant to Your niche interests consider taking a look

Oh, me? My indie sci-fi writing? Well. You see. I don't know if instagram users are the target audience

I use instagram almost exclusively for my little crochet hustle but I Do have "indie sci-fi writer" in my bio with 0 other information about that. Which I do find a little amusing. Don't worry about it
