He/they, queer, trans. My favorite genres are fantasy, romance, mystery, and erotica - hopefully all at once :3
I mostly write, doodle, and study game dev. Some projects are at https://augustrosewood.itch.io/ or https://archiveofourown.org/users/Eizwein/

I tend to flit between too many projects, but my current focuses are an erotica story about a trans man who gets a sexy job as maid and a fantasy with an enby mc and trans man love interest.
And recently I made a little interactive fiction game on itch about getting fucked by monsters :3

Happy new year to all the artists who haven't had time, energy, passion, or any other needed resource to draw enough personal stuff to join end-of-the-year memes in 2025. May we find more of all of the above in 2026, as well as compassion for ourselves if we don't!

hi, cis folks!
this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers.
they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both.
tap into the 🧵for a quick action.

a sequel:
cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”

The reason Sol is a famous adventurer who also works for the organization that tracks magic/artifacts and keeps an eye on enchanted ruins is because he needed more money for transition than he was willing to ask from his family.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
What's your character's go to move when they are short on funds?
Extra shifts at work? Ask a friend or relative? Plan a heist?
Or are they wealthy and it's never a problem? Or in a post-money society?

“We only used ai for the concepts so it’s ok” is such a stupid argument, even if you don’t care about the ethics
“don’t worry, I didn’t build this house out of trash, just the foundation!”
Yeah I’m not buying that house.

A lot of companies seem to be under the impression that we only care if gAI was used in the final product and using it for concept art/placeholder art is ok.
gAl is poison that should be nowhere near any creative process. Not a single asset. Not a single placeholder sign.
Give no inch.

From 2024. Apparently missed that the first time around. This just destroys my hype for Dark Heresy. If Rogue Trader was made without AI “helping” the concept art phase, there is zero reason to push it on to Dark Heresy development. I am gutted.
