The seventy-first free, unedited chapter of my upcoming book, “The Heist at Cordia Aquarium” is now available on its website (or click here to read from the beginning).

Avery stares up at the hero. A licensee in action, costume and all: kicking down doors, saying one-liners. All to save her from... no one anymore. From anyone to begin with, if Thea is telling the truth.

In what should be a moment of relief comes an onslaught of questions. Worried questions. Spawned by her habit of blurring past one catastrophe in search of the next. Am I going to have to pay a bill or something? How much does a rescue even cost? Shit, this is my first year paying taxes. Are rescues tax-deductible?

Avery doesn't ask any of those, opting to keep them prisoner within her oxygen starved mind. She sucks in an unsteady breath. "Why did it take you so long to get here? Is the ambulance close?"

Scrypher moves her head, but barely: a centimeter up and to the right. She probably has a clock in here. "No. It's only been five minutes since you made the call and we were on-site within three; that's more than acceptable." Scrypher says, reaching a hand into the breast of her trench coat. "Medics will arrive momentarily. Before they do, could you tell me who's hiding behind that desk with you?"

[...]

Since she’s making another appearance, here’s Scrypher’s concept sheet.

#if you haven't watched andor #WATCH ANDOR #book tags too #queer lit #queer novel #queer author #everybody in this book is queer #fuck the cistem #btw pls dm me with your andor opinions #please I'm begging you

hm. i feel like I'm not unhinged enough for the past few days. here's my old-but-reworked omegaverse headcanon tier list.

#re zero #i actually was gonna look for my queer headcanon tier list but then i realised I'm bored. so.#putting my omegaverse scholar glasses on #firstly“pretends” doesnt really apply to crusch and felix. they are destroying these secondary genders with hammers i can tell you that muc #todd is an omega. fear about your Secret Identity being discovered.... classic omega archetype.#that adds to the conflict with subaru #also. subaru. raised in a shadow of his perfect alpha dad. riddled with complexes as a result.#similar deal with heinkel i think.#vincent as an asexual alpha......#emilia's alpha identity is scrutinized and stigmatized by society because satella also was an alpha #julius is the most beautiful beta subaru has ever seen. really out here slaying these stereotypes left and right #reinhard is a perfect alpha with a duty to continue the blood line of sword saints #regulus is deeply self-conscious about being an omega. stopping all bodily processes? seems very convenient #i actually haven't thought about what would their smells be like yet. hm. my mistake.#i think subaru would smell like a wet asphalt or gasoline or something else from earth and everybody would be like hey what a fuck is that #rem hates the smell of gasoline 😔😔😔#emiilia smells like frost. easy. traumatising.#julius smells like old books... or maybe steel #reinhard has a divine protection of perfect smell... every person who smells him smells their favourite scent #meanwhile reinhard adds that to his already long list with reasons for identity crisis #regulus probably smells like vanilla lmao

Queer Archangel detective shenanigans in Victorian London

OUT TODAY!

Puddles in the Pavement is a gaslamp mystery set in the same world as my main series, based on this question: What if Holmes & Watson were queer and archangels and bastards?

It's available to read on Kobo Plus.

*** What horrors lurk in the puddles in the pavement?

Archangels Uriel and Bel investigate when a distraught lady’s fiancé falls into a puddle and doesn’t come out. But he’s not the only one to be dragged into mysterious depths.

Foul games are afoot in Victorian London, where a well-demon is turned loose from his underground prison with one mission: to collect victims for the torturous games of an idle, immortal duke.

When a single victim from each hunt is returned to their home, word spreads of a deadly wolf, who speaks with the voice of God, striking a new fear into the heart of London.

Why was Lady Emilia’s fiancé taken when he has nothing in common with the other puddle-snatched men? How can Uriel and Bel get him back? And where is that awful singing coming from?

This book features a duke with terrible table manners, a Home Secretary with a questionable appendage, and an exceptionally perky butler.

Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu

Let’s finish Pride Month with a crowd pleaser, shall we

(All four copies of the official English release, along with my faithful Pride bat plushie.)

The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System, originally a webnovel, is the first work of bestselling Chinese author Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, better known on the Internet as ‘MXTX’. It is part of the danmei (gay love stories written mostly by and for straight women) and wuxia (very strongly simplified, the Chinese equivalent of Western high fantasy) genres, and kind of parodizes both.

The story is about a young nerd, who just finished reading a male powerfantasy harem story for the monsters, and is very upset about the sloppy worldbuilding. Upon choking to death on a dumpling, he gets sucked into the story, and is forced to take the role of the main villain, Shen Qingqiu. A mysterious “system” in his mind prevents him from straying too far from the original plot, and gives him challenge after challenge, forcing him to manipulate the story he is now part of. When Shen Qingqiu starts showing kindness to the young protagonist instead of abusing him, the boy immediately falls in love with him, causing the story to mutate in unexpected ways.

MXTX’s work gained a huge following after her second book, Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation got adapted to a very successful drama. People appreciate her writing because it is genuinely very clever, and she understands well the genres she’s working with. As with all danmei, The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System is a bit visibly catered towards a straight female audience, but it is also a very fun and entertaining parody that has a lot to say about both society and the fantasy genre.

The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System has been, among other languages, completely translated to English and published in four parts. It is also partly adapted to animation.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!

#for once I'm writing about something that has an actual fandom #I expect reactions please don't disappoint me #fun book #though maybe I should drop a note about the romance:#It is teacher/student but manages to be creepy #in the unexpected way that it's the student who holds all the power #probably not everybody's cup of tea but the parody part is worth it #books #book rec #Chinese book #the scum villain's self saving system #queer books #danmei #mo xiang tong xiu #MXTX #Queer Media Monday

THE HOLLYWOOD GAY MAFIA NEVER SLEEPS.

Congratulations to:

second generation Hollywood insider

a proud member of the Jewish community

and VAULTED member of the Hollywood Gay Mafia, Robert Downey Jr. I'm old enough to remember when he publicly admitted it when he was younger, then pretended later that he didn't.

He survived the test, and got handed the keys to the Kingdom; $300 million dollars richer, even helping smooth the path for Irish thug, Cillian Murphy. I'll never want to see Ironman again, after watching this group of snakes operate. Silicon Valley and the NFL want him back. Can anyone guess as to why?

I was at the library today and when I walked into the general section they had this digital poster thing that said like 'Interested in LGBT books? Simply search 'queer' in our online catalogue or ask your librarians for tips' and when I went to the teen section upstairs there was a poster promoting a queer youth centre and then I went to a comic book store and in the flyer display they had a leaflet from a local queer non-profit that was like 'are you a nerd that's also queer/an ally? come and hang out at our bi-monthly meetups and join our discord server!' and my first reaction was 'Where was this when I was 14?' but then I immediately was like 'no! I'm so happy that it's here now!!' because there are 14 year olds now who are like me and they'll see the posters and flyers and know that others like them exists and that will prove to them that they exist and that makes me so happy for them!!!

#also I am 22 and actually still fall into the youth category lol so I do benefit from the events etc #in my mind i am simultaneously 12 and 42 #also not everything has to be geared towards everybody!!#what is important that we are and continue to be visible #the motto of last years pride translates to Visibility means Security and I agree!!!#queer #bisexuality #books & libraries #lgbtqia

saw your tags I LOVE LESS and no one ever seems to talk about it!!! you are right it is so JOYOUS and kind <3

I read it earlier this year and it’s so good! I was so pleasantly surprised! I thought I was about to read a boring navelgazy novel about a mediocre white man with a midlife crisis and LOOK MAYBE IT IS A NAVELGAZY NOVEL ABOUT A MEDIOCRE WHITE MAN WITH A MIDLIFE CRISIS……but the fact it’s told through the eyes of the man who loves him just turns it into the sweetest love letter. And it’s so loving, so joyful, so full of delight, it just made me so so happy. And it’s not boring at all!

also I have to add I did love the prose as well, I loved how the author played with language and motifs, so the reading experience as a whole was just good.

also, I posted a review on my Instagram account and:

Not sure how the follow up will measure up but I sure am willing to find out!!

#less #andrew sean greer #books #I very thoroughly recommend this to EVERYBODY #but also maybe especially if you want some queer joy in your life

i like to think that after season 2 crowley goes on another demon sprint spreading low-grade evil and wide-spread inconveniences just to spite heaven (and aziraphale, whom he hopes is watching from above).

#maybe he breaks a bunch of internet towers and everybody is forced to like idk read books for a week #which also stalls millions of high tech businesses which makes stock prices plummet #(which ends up being a net positive albeit with many many more angry ppl walking the streets now)#maybe he'd do a bunch of lust temptations #which inevitably leads to hundreds maybe thousands of queer ppl to accept their instincts and come out of the closet #and they tear their life of traditional conformity to shreds #(which again ends up being a good thing)#and then hed do a bunch of silly things like make a huge marketing scheme #to make his 6 espresso shot coffee into a best-seller #and he invents really stupid tiktok challenges to get kids to stress out their parents #all of this ends up stressing out aziraphale like crazy but he also yearns for crowley and the way he keeps doing things that lead to good #god the things i would write if i had the time #good omens #crowley

We can say "I'm upset that John Mulaney turned out to be transphobic because I thought he was pretty funny" without forgetting that his comedy has always included very ableist and antisemitic jokes, yeah?

#tag rant uh oh #his first special genuinely makes me uncomfortable I don't even have dwarfism and I cringed at his like #intentional stubbornness on why it's ok to say slurs because they're not as bad as other unrelated slurs #and I AM Jewish and I was made uncomfortable by his ''I can make jokes about Jews because my wife is one'' attitude as a goy #saw a post that was like ''don't pretend you always knew he was shitty we all loved him'' and like.#speak for yourself if you're not a Jew or a little person right? I watched his specials I laughed at his jokes and I did it very critically #because parts of it made me uncomfortable because I am capable of thinking critically about what is antisemitic or not unlike goyim I guess #it's not faux-progressive Tumblr-style-activism to say ''yeah I'm Jewish and I knew he was antisemitic from his antisemitic jokes I didn't #need to wait until he was divorced to criticize that''#this eventuality has brought out some really particular issues with this site where white goyische able-bodied queer ppl like #only care about ''canceling'' a person once they prove themself to be a transphobe cause that's all they're capable of #seeing or thinking critically about. it's really the same thing with jk rowling tbh. yes her transphobia is the most damaging part of it #because she is spending money on it but nobody cared and ''everybody loved h*rry p*tter'' until that whole thing came out #even though Jewish people and POC have always known those books were racist and antisemitic because we're the only ones who are apparently #capable of analyzing text for racism and antisemitism #oy vey

Upon its release, the film grossed $21 million at the US box office. The film received mostly positive reviews from critics and has since become a cult classic.[3] A remake is in development.

my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

#christine 1983 #fucking hell why do they have to ruin everything good #but on another note. if a reboot is to be made.#personally I would like it to go more the''maybe Christine is a normal car and Arnie is just acting up'' route #but. I am sacred they may go the book rute #which. I haven't read the book. it might be good. I wouldn't know #but yeah. I don't really vibe with the whole ''Arnie isn’t doing shit and he’s just possed'' thing I’m told the book has going on #because. the movie gave me an impression that it could be about stuff like #you know. getting back control of your life. sort of (?#like Arnie did everything his parents told them to and buying Christine was the first time he did something for himself #and when his parents tried to take her from him. he stood up and keept her #also that’s when he adopts a more ‘’rebellious tenager persona’’#there’s also this other thing where Arnie might be queer. and his whole douche greaser act is like. an over compensation of masculinity #and this OTHER thing. where his and Christine's relationship kinda sorta looks like grooming. to me at least #ok ''the car is a groomer'' sounds crazy but hear me out #this 17 yo meets the villain by pure chance and immediately decides he likes them even tho everybody in his life tells him is a bad idea #(also that villain is too old. that seems relevant)#he gets whit villian as a ''fuck you'' to his controlling parents #start spending all his time with villain causing him to distance from his loved ones and has brutal change of personality thanks to villain #has a lot of people trying to separate them and that only makes him react violently (and double down)#just to ultimately die because of his obsession with villian #(I mean. I'm no expert but that does look sus)#well. maybe I didn’t explain myself very well. but this IS a really interesting movie as it is #and all of that would be lost if the movie is just ''ghost obsessed with car possesses random dude to drive the car again''#but even if they don’t go there. there’s no guarantee the movie is gonna be good. you know?#but. as I said. idk #my insane ramblings #talking tags

I don't know if this makes sense after nine hours of classes but it made sense in and seemed funny to my brain,so,here we go:

I was re-reading I kissed Shara Wheeler (because that book has a piece of my heart-really?what's new,Maria?loving a book?loving a CMQ book?I know,I know) on a bench in campus today,during my two-hour break;tens of people passed by and not one,dear readers of this weird post (I think,because I wasn't really looking directly inside their eyes,or something,lmao),recognised the book,or seemed to have paid any attention to A BOOK whatsoever,which is GREAT for me because I hate people looking at me,it makes me hella anxious,but...

I just kind of...wanted to indoctrinate them in the CMQ book universe,to introduce them to the world of books and its numerous possibilities and places to visit and colours to see for the first time and odours to smell. in a parallel universe,I would be able to. lmao.

so,that's today's story.

(please,do not take any of this seriously,it's supposed to be a joke-I would never force people to do and like things they don't want to.)

#fun fact:#my tumblr url is actually inspired by chloe green's eyeliner #lol #i kissed shara wheeler #iksw #casey mcquiston #bookaholic #another fun fact:#i fell in deeply romantic love with georgia again everybody #and i love shara and chloe with my whole heart #and everyone in this book is so queer and beautiful and everything is so-#okay #imma stop here #because i want to properly talk about it in a future post #it deserves all the love #oh also SUMMER #god another love of my life

I think I just...hetero romance novels aren't for me. If I am going to read a romance novel the protagonists can't be cishet. At least one of them has to be a honey nut queerio.

#i have known this for a long time #but refused to accept it #because i am and always have been desperate to understand and be like other people #jokes on you Sara you're a demibisexual lefthanded autistic good luck acting like everybody else #in which Sara reads #i need the GAYS i need TRANS JOY i need WOMEN LOVING WOMEN i need QUEER PEOPLE OF COLOR HAVING HAPPY ENDINGS #cishet romance especially white cishet romance is..#not my interest in books

IM SO FUCKING GLAD I DONT HAVE TO SET FOOT THERE 😭#every single thing i hear about the education system there seems hellish- as well as the teachers' conditions and wages #like over here its not all rainbows and flowers but at least i dont have to worry about school shootings or getting fired for recommending #books from a banned list 💀#ESPECIALLY as a poc latino queer linguistics and literature teacher- i'd love to talk to students about a big range of things- i cannot #imagine having to censor myself or dance around a subject becs “kids are too dumb to understand queerness” “youre trying to groom them”#“dont brainwash em you commie” like ma'am im trying to help your child develop basic empathy and respect for those who dont look like them #like i hear some serious worrying stuff from teachers over there i hope u guys are holding up somehow 😭😭😭#anyways idk how the phrase in english goes but in spanish we say cuando dios cierra una puerta- abre una ventana #(<- trying to look for the positive in getting ghosted by the girl of their dreams)#its fine guys anyways #yeah that was the first LD relationship ive ever had- never trying that again #also i found out im arospec so im definitely not getting into a romantic relationship lmfaoooooo #only QPRs for me now if anything lol #vanya strawberry flavored
