Surprise, it's a cover reveal!

Thank you @kholbatar.bsky.social for making my dreams come true. Thank you everyone for waiting. Thank you for signing up for the backerkit campaign. This book is going to kick ass & kiss women, & it's full of both

www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... #bookbazaar25 #📢📚

The cover of my novel BOOM goes the BRIDE. An elven woman riding a jetbike drops off an asian woman, who is dressed like a greek god. Buildings rise at extreme perspective around them. The word BOOM is in giant yellow letters at the top over a stylized gas giant, followed by a holographic sign on a buildiing saying "goes." The follows as a neon sign jutting from the building, with the "E" out, as if the sign has broken. The word BRIDE flows up an angled platform, with the I being replaced by the asian woman. It is a very energetic scene in lesbian flag colors and blues.

A quick and dirty collection of faces from the yuri manga "girlfriend for 7 days" which i'm truly in love with, and not only because it contains some of the greatest facial expressions ever drawn. Embarassingly it reminds of if Cathy was a gyaru & also well drawn

ilu Manatsu. Sumie you're good too

A collection of goofy faces from the manga Girlfriend for Seven Days. A blond girl who is typically extremely beautiful often makes extremely empty eye, dumb, and shocked expressions. My favorite is the one in the middle where she's just a macaque with her hair slapped on top.

If you haven't already, check out these two new sapphic books that just released this week. The first is Cinder House by Freya Marske, a Gothic sapphic retelling of Cinderella, and the second is Her Wicked Roots, a Gothic sapphic retelling of Rappaccini's Daughter. Lots of retelling this month! 🌈📚

choose from Therese's autumn fits

An artwork by Spindle of the character Therese, a trans elf woman who has cyan hair. The artwork showcases 4 different autumn outfits (from left to right):
1 - Therese's hair tid up to a circular "bun", while the rest of her hair is down to her butt. She's wearing a white turtleneck, a golden diamond-shaped necklace, and a long beige skirt with a dark leaf pattern. She's also wearing brown boots with a silver accent.

2 - Therese's hair tied up in a big bun. Wearing a white croptop under a long see-through beige cardigan. Red pants with brass-coloured accents, and red leggings that end just above the ankles, as well as red flats with swirly openings.

3 - Same hairstyle as 1 (except without the floating accessory in the hair loop), she's wearing a black scarf, a white and beige checkered shawl with a diamond shape on the front, and a black top underneath. (only the sleeves are visible). She's wearing a yellow skirt with white accents and buttons, and black open heels.

4 - Home fit, hair messy and free. Wearing a multi-coloured capelet/cardigan thing (idk what it is lmao), a black "night gown" with an opening in the front, and red pants with slits on the sides on the bottom. She's also wearing pie-shaped slippers (That Felt made for her!)

i think in these cases it's being critical of those experiences overall, but in a way that doesn't offend the perpetrators too much

Valiant 🏳️‍⚧️ | Follow BOOM Goes the Bride on Backerkit! @valwrites.ca · 10h

damn this makes me think about the like 15 second bit in Bloom Into You where one of the characters gives a guy talking to himself about what a genius he is for going to the pool during TODDLER SWIM LESSONS a death glare. Nothing else happens, never referenced again. Just reality for these women.

just the way they talk about pedophile gropers on the train is like mosquitos. "just give them a good stomp on the foot" damn girl you got a system

It's very interesting & good, but i'm like shook how casually it covers stories like "girl gets molested by her older cousin & falls in love with her"

Not that these things don't exist elsewhere, but the way a 14-15 y/o girl going out on a date with a college dude is like, not only normal but almost expected is out of this world. I learned recently that highschool there is optional, so technically at 14 you can stop going to school. explains some

Went through a list of yuri anime in an attempt to find new shows to watch while i wait for my favs & after the supremely bad El Cazador i'm watching Aoi Hana & this show is like, every bad thing about Japan wrapped up in a pastel sweater. It's wild how matter-of-factly it plays pedophilia & sexism

on here at least you can set the replies to a post to only include people you follow, or people who follow you. the latter might be good since it wouldn't affect your followers but would stop people who only follow the other person from responding

This is one of the funniest paragraphs a tran has ever written, and it's 130 years old

I know it's some backwards ass Edwardian convention, but the fact that she used Latin terms any time she wants to talk about how horny she is (which is often) is absolutely sending me.

The modernist version of talking about @ss and corn and s3x 🥲

Sensual thoughts now began to creep into my mind more and more. Interest in my studies was declining. In the class-room I was absent-minded, and when called upon, would be confused, and hardly able to reply to the pro- fessor's questions. Even here I would be thinking of the soft satin-smooth cutis in inguine of my late guest which I had found gratissima tactioni, praesertim labiali et lin- guali, and would regret that it was always to be denied to me to touch again on viro this marvellously fine integu- ment. I pined for the repetition of other similar pleas- ures which I had for the first time tasted in their fulness only a few weeks before, such as pillowing caput super abdomene aut femure nudo adolescentis, the fascinating sight membri virilis ejus erecti, and the extremely smooth surface glandis, gratissima tactioni et digitorum et oris.

Ooh well here are some lesbians, flip a coin or pick who you like better out of River (the tiefling) and Howl! (Who's definitely not a werewolf)

Two women, one red skinned and femme and the other white haired and butch. The butch is pressing her fingers together in a pleading expression and the femme is looking annoyed but also like maybe this big dumb idiot is pretty cute.

Now that I've recovered from my cold and isn't sneezing my brains out, I finally managed to finish up my piece from @paulscottcanavan.com 's mentorship :D

Knew I wanted to paint a horse, so decided to draw some inspiration from the wild hunt folklore and ended up with bonus doggies.

A male rider dressed in leather armour rides across the sky. He's carrying a spear, and a half cape is flying out behind him. His horse have blue glows across its body, and they're flanked by two demonic canines with red glows across their body. Behind them is a eclipse and clouds.

Hope you like Cur 😉 She's a mechsploitation lesbian girly with a bit of a twist. She's got a werewolf-styled power armor suit and basically undergoes a werewolf/magical girl transformation to do war crimes. The snout pumps drugs into her to make her crazy(ier). She swaps between v calm & psychotic

A cybernetic woman with artificial legs and a tight fitting flight suit. A series of cables run around her tors as though tied like shibari. She has a wolf-style haircut and yellow-red eyes. She's pulling a wolf-styled muzzle-mask off her face. Her expression is mildly puzzled, almost melancholic. Blood drips from the jaw of the mask. Art by Hiimeyu.

we had the exact opposite experience because we didn't cut his hair for 2 years and he's a blond blue eyed aryan wunderbaby that all the old asian ladies around us go crazy for. "She's so cute!" "Yep!"
