Nobody was doing it like Mary Magdalene. Tits out. Standing on a mountain. Holding a skull. She’s like the lesbian catholic hamlet. Aesthetically an absolute win for the gays.

This is just a prototype, but I plan to make chapbooks of my stories to sell at some point.

The ones I want to sell will be on fancy velum paper. (Not calfskin. Sorry, but I don't have the budget for that.)

'gender transition won't make you happy, only Jesus will' is not only an extremely annoying thing to say but i think probably a violation of James 2.16

Listen, do I have proof that St Bernard of Clairvaux was trans?

No, absolutely not.

...But do I think that if I put him in front of r/egg_irl for like an hour he might walk away learning something about himself?

Well, who's to say?

#yes #his letters are certainly something #monkposting #i'd never argue this in an academic paper #but we are on tumblr where I can be free #medieval monks #trans

side b homosexual catholic saints ARE VALID!!!!

st. catherine of siena said “gay sex is soooo ew and nasty demons will encourage it and then flee the act once it’s started” and then turned around and cut her hair into a little dyke buzz cut because the thought of being attractive to men sent shivers down her (heterosexual) spine.

Some of my webnovels available on AO3 (please mind the tags!):

The Completely Unerotic Adventures of Brother Cellanus Volume I--In 9th century Jorvik, after failing to convert various pagan creatures, Brother Cellanus decides on an easier goal: ministering to the local prostitutes. With his handy pastoral manual and a whole lot of optimism, Brother Cellanus is sure he can help his new lady friends embrace modesty and religion. It is harder than he anticipated.

Decessit Vita Matris--After being attacked by a demon, Brother Gilbert is sent to his cousin’s castle to recover. While there, Brother Gilbert’s cousin puts him under the care of Thierry, a noble and incredibly handsome knight. Thierry doesn't really know what to make of the emotionally scarred monk. Even so, he is determined to help Gilbert heal from the mysterious and horrible demonic attack he suffered less than a year ago.

Abbot Gunter's Monastic Punishment for Sinful Monks and Arrogant Princes--After Abbot Gunter discovers two of his monks together in the woods, he makes a show of punishing them both. His decision has surprising consequences.

The Tragedy of Theobald--The Tragedy of Theobald is a about an angsty melodramatic 9th century gay teenager trying to be straight and failing horribly. Sometimes there are demons. Lots of bible quotes and kennings. Despite it being called "The Tragedy of Theobald" Theobald doesn't die. He'll get his happy ending...eventually.

Gutted Like A Pig--Abbot Gunter copes after being attacked and made pregnant by a demon.

Eawynn’s Catastrophically Disastrous Wedding--A gay medieval monk returns home with his lover to attend his ex-fiancé's wedding...and said ex-fiancé is determined to get him back.

The Seaside Demon--Percy wants a lot of things in life: a good job, a partner, a family, and to transition. Unfortunately, his life circumstances won’t let him do any of those things……Except one. In his desperation and determination, Percy summons a demon. Luckily for Percy, the demoness is more than happy to knock him up. She’s less than happy to stick around. However, Percy and the demoness keep running into each other...Is it possible for a demoness to love a human? And is it possible for a human to safely have a family with a demon?

Volume V of The Completely Unerotic Adventures of Brother Cellanus is now up!

I've already posted three chapters.

After getting into a very loud, public argument with Hervör in the marketplace, Brother Cellanus takes her words about not doing anything about the brothel in Mamecaster to heart. And he does something about it! …And that something goes horribly wrong. Due to the nature of this sin and all the other shenanigans Brother Cellanus has been up to the past year, he risks being excommunicated! Brother Cellanus must go to the Archbishop of Jorvik and grovel. Luckily for him, the Archbishop won’t excommunicate him, but he also refuses to give him absolution for his sins and forbids any priests under his jurisdiction to do so either! Now Brother Cellanus must travel down south to seek absolution from the Archbishop of Cantwaraburg, lest his soul be damned to Hell. Luckily, Father Abbot has permitted Brother Felix, Brother Cellanus’s crush and closest companion, to attend him and keep him out of trouble. Receiving absolution is more difficult than Brother Cellanus anticipated.
