Okay, well, I was planning to build up some hype, but

🦇🎃HAPPY HALLOWEEN🎃🦇

Lorehaven Bound: A Hunger Pangs Short is now available on Amazon.

A train ride through the Nevrondian countryside should be a calming proposition, but for Ursula, it isn't. Her thoughts swirl, fixated on one thing... make that two things. Specifically Nathan Northland and Vlad Blutstein. It's not just because they are both breath-stealingly attractive—although to be fair, that doesn't hurt. It's because they surprised her, and Ursula is very rarely surprised.

Even more confounding is her reaction to them, particularly the vampire, Vlad. Just what is she supposed to do about these... feelings?

All Ursula knows is that she doesn't have time for emotions right now. Not when the fate of the world is at stake. She can deal with this later. First, she's got to figure out what story she's going to tell the sure-to-be-furious Alfbern. Then, she needs to catch up on all the sleep she missed before hitting the road again. Surely, she can do those things while being Lorehaven Bound.

*

This story is a 10,000-word character study/missing moment that takes place immediately after Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites. You will want to read that first if you don't want to be spoiled for the events in that book!

Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites, synopsis and buy links.

In a world of dwindling hope, love has never mattered more...

Captain Nathan J. Northland had no idea what to expect when he returned home to Lorehaven injured from war, but it certainly wasn’t to find himself posted on an island full of vampires. An island whose local vampire dandy lord causes Nathan to feel strange things he’d never felt before. Particularly about fangs. When Vlad Blutstein agreed to hire Nathan as Captain of the Eyrie Guard, he hadn’t been sure what to expect either, but it certainly hadn’t been to fall in love with a disabled werewolf. However Vlad has fallen and fallen hard, and that’s the problem. Torn by their allegiances–to family, to duty, and the age-old enmity between vampires and werewolves–the pair find themselves in a difficult situation: to love where the heart wants or to follow where expectation demands. The situation is complicated further when a mysterious and beguiling figure known only as Lady Ursula crashes into their lives, bringing with her dark omens of death, doom, and destruction in her wake.

And a desperate plea for help neither of them can ignore.

Thrown together in uncertain times and struggling to find their place amidst the rising human empire, the unlikely trio must decide how to face the coming darkness: united as one or divided and alone. One thing is for certain, none of them will ever be the same.

Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites by Joy Demorra. Book one is available now in two different editions.

Flirting with Fangs Edition is full of romance, lots of kissing, and all the steamy scenes for those who want them. Available now in Ebook, Paperback, and Audiobook.

Fluff and Fangs edition. Full of romance, lots of kissing, and fade-to-black scenes for those who prefer not to read graphic depictions of sex. Available now in Ebook, Paperback, and Audiobook.

You can also buy all digital formats of the book directly from my Payhip store.

Why are there two versions, and what’s the difference? Glad you asked!

PAPERBACKS ARE HERE

So, getting the paperbacks approved and in online stores took longer than expected, as did setting it up to purchase from me directly. I thank everyone for their patience, and I hope it is rewarded because, ta da!!! You can now buy paperbacks from various places:

Barnes and Noble. A widespread retailer and you get free shipping if you're a member.

Bookshop.org. This amazing site donates to support local and indie bookstores every time you make a purchase! And they do it themselves, they don't take it out of author royalties.

Mixam print-on-demand. This is how you can purchase the book from me directly and net me the most profit.

Amazon. Not my favorite but they are convenient and most importantly they ship internationally.

Blackwell's and Waterstones. If you're in the UK (and also I think possibly the EU) you can order from here!

When I created the paperbacks I altered the price through Draft2Digital so that it's proportionate to where you are and you shouldn't have to break the bank because of conversion fees.

This poetry collection was truly a labor of... something. Probably insanity. I'm very excited to share it with you all and especially in paperback form. I hope that you'll consider giving it a look! I will also be sharing a few of the poems on here so you can get a sneak peek, so keep an eye out for that!

It's poetry night at the asylum, and the inmates all have something to say…

A poetry collection on anger, gender, trauma, mental illness, prejudice, and rebellion spoken through the lens of characters who may or may not be familiar, Manifesto of a Blossoming Supervillain is raw, evocative, sometimes vicious, and possibly poised to take over the city.

Did you know you can buy books on this site, and that if you buy a book from this site after clicking my affiliate link, I get a little commission in thanks for telling people they can buy books from this site?

Anyway here’s some good books I read recently

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is a standalone volume of Supergirl comics which was recommended to me as having fantastic colors and oh boy DOES it. I want to eat this artwork. It would taste like candy. Also notable for having a heavy story line and a weird little space!puritan narrator. The jumping around to different planets reminds me of Joyride, a favorite (and completed) comics series

Mysteries of Thorn Manor, a wonderful followup novella to Sorcery of Thorns, also a big favorite of mine. Love its Howl’s Moving Castle vibes.

I’ve actually had some pretty dull reading months lately, and my favorite silly self-published romance isn’t available on Bookshop so I can’t include it, so we’ll just end this here.

“How about this,” he offered. “Since we’re at a tie. If I beat you in the next match, you have to help Miss Valencia. If you win, I stop asking.” It wasn’t much of an offer. He’d only asked me once, but the implication was pretty clear. If I refused his wager he would keep seeking me out for the purpose of requesting my help. “Can you not find some other Sensitive?” “Why find someone else when you’re right here and almost willing to help?” "Almost?" I snorted. "Almost," he grinned. I hesitated. Could I beat him again? There was no specific reason to assume I couldn’t. Would helping Rakael Valencia really put me in that much danger? Sure I had panicked the previous day when he’d mentioned the word Embassies, but maybe it would be the Dragon Born Embassy, or the Human one. And if I beat him it wouldn’t be an issue. “Okay.” “Think of it this way,” Kalik said. “Helping me with this is great practice for becoming a Guardian.”

Merry Arlan: Breaking The Curse by Will Soulsby-McCreath, Part one of the Guardian Cadet Series, available now:

Signed paperback link (includes extra goodies too)

It's also available in unsigned paperback but not in any reliably linkable kind of way, but here's a BookFinder link anyway

It's an adult fantasy with action adventure, heapings of magic, and a delightful slow burn heart-warming romance, and book 2 is in the works already.

cursed construction core hi vis bra that came to me in a dream

In the dream I saw it in the window display of a hardware/DIY/trade shop, implying it was meant to be a practical garment designed for actual female constructions workers in a Female Armour level missed-the-brief attempt at gender inclusion

The practical support from the visible underwire combined with the hi vis implying it’s not meant to be worn as an undergarment, I just-

I blame my binge-reading ND Stevenson’s gender comics talking abt masculinity and femininity incl the one abt Victoria’s Secret lingerie yesterday for this monstrosity x’D

#construction core #I am legitimately tempted to make this irl #just like as a commentary art piece on failed attempts at inclusion that completely missed the point #but alas I lack the booba these days to make it for myself so I'll need someone else to fit it to to enable my shenanigans #maybe someday #in the dream I met finnster in the next shop and was like dude you should go buy it for the meme lolll you could wear it on a stream #so uuuhhh- finn if you're reading this (I know you've seen my tumblr before we have video evidence) and you want this I'll make it for you #for manly man construction times #just let me know x'D #to the transmascs reading this: read the linked comics they're highly relatable #you can lose a whole morning to them #like me #have fun

If you have celiac or otherwise can't eat wheat, btw, and you like bread, I highly recommend investing in a breadmaker. Even the best store-bought gluten-free bread does not hold a candle to the stuff that comes out of our breadmaker, and it's cheaper per slice even when we buy bread mix in single-loaf bags.

This is our breadmaker. Evie got it on sale, but it is an investment. I'm not going to pretend it isn't a chunk of change up front. There are cheaper ones, but the reason I like this one and think it's worth the money:

It has two smaller paddles, where our older bread maker that my mom got us and got destroyed by getting construction dust in it had one big paddle in the middle. This leaves a big hole in the middle of the finished loaf, which makes the bread much less useful for, like, sandwiches.

Zojirushi is not as well-known a brand in the US, but it's a Brand Name in Japan for good reason. Evie's had our Zojirushi rice cooker for over a decade & we had to replace the inner bowl once bc someone used metal utensils in it and scratched the non-stick coating. We expect to use this machine for at least a decade.

You can program your own cycles, which we found really useful. Evie built a custom cycle that removed the punch-down sections (gluten-free bread tends not to rise as much) and that made our perfect loaf.

A lot of bread machines produce very tall, square loaves, which are awkward to slice, store, and make sandwiches with. This produces loaves that make good sandwiches and toast, and the French toast slices don't crowd the pan.

The top heating element on this gives a really amazingly browned top crust that we definitely didn't get on our old machine.

It's so pretty.

So how is it cheaper in the long run if the machine costs $300+? A little like this:

We use Pamela's Bread Mix bc it's really consistent and easy - you need the bread mix, water, yeast, 3 egg whites, and oil. (We use avocado oil and find it best and most consistent, but regular vegetable oil works!) We buy Pamela's in bulk, and without any subscription discounts or whatever, the $48 pack of 3 bags makes about 11.5 loaves. With the cost of yeast and eggs and stuff, it ends up costing about $4.50 a loaf. (If you buy your yeast in larger bags & store it in an airtight container, you can create less waste and it's also cheaper.)

By comparison, a loaf of Franz GF Bread costs $7-8, and Canyon Bakehouse usually runs about the same.

However, that's not an apples to apples comparison because the Franz loaf is an 18 oz. loaf, whereas our breadmaker makes a 2 lb. loaf. Assuming even the lower-end cost for getting a Franz loaf at the store, an equivalent amount of bread would cost $12.42, and it's not nearly as good.

(Yes, gluten-free bread is fucking expensive. That's part of why I'm writing this post in the first place.)

Anyway, assuming you eat 2 lbs. of bread a week in your house - a breadmaker loaf, basically, to make the math simple - you'll end up spending $7.92 less on bread every week. That means that even at the most expensive cost for the Zojirushi, if you buy it at its highest price (don't do that! wait for a sale!) it'll take 50 weeks - about a year - before the breadmaker pays for itself. If you manage to get it on a 25% off sale (which we did), it pays for itself in about 9 months.

Nine months, I must stress, in which you are eating much more delicious bread.

We tend to go through a couple of loaves a week because toast, sandwiches, and melts are great food for people with low spoons.

Evie and I perfected the Pamela's mix recipe for this particular machine - I'll get it typed up when I'm downstairs next, along with the quasi-babka recipe. (Really, it's like a marble cake and babka and bread had a baby, and it's a family favorite.)

Bread good. The end.

Anyone order a newly discovered praise kink with a generous side dish of soft-dom?

Vlad wrinkled his nose. “How do you ‘positively humiliate’ someone? Surely that’s a contradiction of terms?" Nathan shrugged easily. “It depends on the person. Pet names can be a good way to get inside someone’s head. Making people say things they’re normally too shy to say. Getting them to show off while they get themself off. Praise, compliments.” A hot flush stole over Vlad’s cheeks. “Mostly, it’s just making people feel good about things they want but are usually too shy to ask for." Vlad’s ears burned. But he couldn’t stop himself from asking, “But how does that work?” Nathan observed him for several long moments, and then something in his mannerism shifted. An air of authority rolled over him as he righted his posture and patted the meat of his thigh invitingly. “Why don’t you come over here and find out?”

It depicts two male characters, one wearing a light shirt, a visible arm brace and hearing aids. The other is wearing a dark suit and has visible fangs. They are walking side by side, their arms around each other. Both are turning to regard the female character on the right who is wearing a purple flowing dress and is in turn looking over her shoulder at them in an implied bisexual parody of the "distracted boyfriend" meme.

i remembered that i have an affiliate link to bookshop.org so that if you click this link and then buy a book from them i will get a 10% commission and you will get a book. so you know

if you are in the mood to get a book, i am currently in my feelings about the following

The Soldier’s Scoundrel, an m/m historical romance I have read three times which is so good and funny and never fails to cheer me up

Vespertine, a YA fantasy in which a teenage nun makes friends with the grumpy revenant possessing her and they save fantasy!France together

The Scholomance trilogy (literally when am I not)

When the Angels Left the Old Country, a historical YA fantasy which recently won awards for being good at being Jewish AND good at being queer

So a post I reblogged about no Dark Link in TotK being a missed opportunity got me thinking about how he could've been implemented:

You could find one of those journals in one of the Yiga outposts in the Depths talking about him. Here's how I think it could read:

Spotted the Hero in the Depths today. I attempted to approach while disguised as a member of the Zonai Survey Team.

Next Page

Bad idea. I was attacked immediately and viciously without hesitation. I barely escaped with my life!

Next Page

That... was not the Hero.

Next Page

Was that the Hero's Shadow spoken of in the old legends? It is said the Shadow would mirror the Hero's appearance and fighting skills... I believe it after that encounter.

Next Page

ATTENTION YIGA CLAN MEMBERS: If you spot this figure during your patrols, DO NOT APPROACH. This 'Shadow' will viciously attack anything and anyone that dares get near, even the Yiga Clan.

Next Page

Beware the Hero's Shadow.

Next Page

Glory to Master Kohga.

End

Dark Link would be patrolling the Depths, and upon spotting you, he will chase you down and attack, similar to the Gloom Hands. But unlike the Gloom Hands, you cannot escape by climbing to high ground and waiting for him to vanish. He will simply teleport up to you.

You can either deal enough damage to him, which will make him leave and reappear elsewhere in the Depths (like how the Yiga flee when defeated), or you can teleport far enough away so he loses track of you. Thankfully, he will not follow you to the Surface.

If he spots you while you're wearing the Dark Link outfit, he will be temporarily confused, giving you very limited time to run away or hide before he figures it out and starts attacking you. Similar to the Lynel Mask.

Also while you're wearing the Dark Link outfit, the Yiga will not ambush you, because they think you're the Hero's Shadow.

Dark Link's number of hearts will match that of the player's, just like in OoT. The stronger you get, the stronger he gets too.

He would also have the smartest enemy AI in the game, besides Ganondorf himself:

He dodges any thrown items or arrows shot at him, which means he cannot be cheesed with bombs. He will simply hop out of the blast radius before it lands. You must fight him in close melee combat.

He will mirror your strikes perfectly if you fight him with a one-handed sword and shield. However, he only wields a sword and shield, meaning you can attack him more easily with a different weapon, like... oh I don't know... a two-handed hammer? 😉

I'm not entirely sure what he'd drop upon defeat... Maybe his sword and shield?

Anyway, those are my thoughts. I'd love to hear other ideas :)

(EDIT: Added more stuff in a reblog!)

#bonus idea: dark link will be afraid to attack you if you're wearing the fierce deity set #but will still retaliate if you attack him first #totk spoilers #tagging that just in case #loz totk #the legend of zelda #tears of the kingdom #dark link #yiga clan #the depths #wow this is a long post #I really like dark link okay #I wish he would appear in more games P: #WAIT this could make for a really cool DLC opportunity!

Please Help A Mentally Ill/Disabled/Mostly Queer Family Get Temporary Housing For My Birthday?

PAYPAL | AMAZON WISHLIST | KOFI | GOFUNDME

VENMO: @penaltywaltz | CASHAPP: $afteriwake23 | ZELLE: DM me for email address

01/20/24 - New Post!

NEW GOAL!

$0/$550

(Original goal mostly met, now edited for additional room help and other things needed)

If I can get the entire amount still needed, I can do the following:

Get a nice dinner for my birthday

Get a bigger framed pair of glasses, as my current frame is too small, and get a replacement pair of prescription sunglasses as my regular sunglasses just aren't cutting it

Get a few more supplies for the room (a broom/standing dustpan, paper towels, NeutraAir spray) and for the cats (cat litter and cat food, including the special dry food they need)

We currently have the room until the morning of the 27th, but my birthday is on the 23rd and I'd love to get the room for a few extra days if possible so that we can relax until we get our disability.

We'll be going to the LGBTQA center to get Lena transferred to a gender-affirming care GP and we'll go to Exodus as well next week as well, so any help with gas to get there would be amazing.

So please reblog this version if you can, and help with money or wishlist items if you can (the restaurant gift cards go a long way, plus I desperately need the clothing for me because I've lost 40 pounds this last year and most of my stuff is now too big). Thank you for reading this, and I hope you have an awesome day!
