Ooooh I need to give this album a listen asap!! The singles I heard were phenomenal and Testament are easily my favorite of the old school thrashies

he complimented my eye makeup and this kimono sorta outerwear I picked up at Pride last month and he was clearly a little nervous about doing so which was reeeeally cute and idk now I almost hope he does actually ask me on a date ahh >.<

awwww this cute guy who's a regular was just flirting with me soooo much but he was very respectful about it and didn't cross any lines ^.^ I think he's a bit young for me personally and tbh if he actually asks me on a date I'll probably say no but I'll at least consider it!!!

Does it suck ass when I upload a riff or sample of a track I'm super proud of and it gets one like? Or when my new releases get single-digit engagement? Yeah!!! Sometimes I feel like a real fuckin' loser about it too! Is it gonna stop me from doing what I love and working harder? Fuck no!!!

I don't EVER want people to listen to my music or read my lesbian vampire fiction out of pity or guilt. I want people to be genuinely interested, and if no one is, at least I know I had fun and still put something creative out into the world.

I may not be famous or even particularly successful at being a musician, writer, streamer, etc, but one thing I feel confident I've learned is that complaining to your potential audience about a lack of engagement or participation only serves to push that audience away. It's paradoxical but true.

Gonna take time to save up enough cash anyways so I'll keep my eyes out but thank you again for the recs!!

Ruby Bloodthirst 🍉🏳️‍⚧️💕✨💖🦄🌸 @rubyrockatansky.bsky.social · 3h

Ooh thank you!! The Jackson Dinky 8 string looks promising and I'm finding listings that are even more affordable, so I just might ultimately go with it. My seven string is a Jackson and I do very much like the feel of it, but it was $200 and has its limitations, so this is a promising upgrade. ^.^

"The girl’s chest rose and fell as ocean waves crashing along forbidden shores, each breath carrying the promise of an imminent tempest."

idk y'all I think I'm pretty decent at stringing words together

Ruby Bloodthirst 🍉🏳️‍⚧️💕✨💖🦄🌸 @rubyrockatansky.bsky.social · 5h

I know I can find a hundred lists about this written by dudes with ostensibly good intentions, but does anybody have recs for a good 8 or 9 string guitar under $800?

Jared Leto is an excellent example of the phenomenon of failing upwards indefinitely when you're a mediocre middle aged white man with money

hey guess what I'm releasing a whole ass novel about gay vampires next month

storefront page for my book, "Undead Flowers: Blood on the Bay". To the right is a cover showing two women against a background showing the Golden Gate Bridge surrounded by bats under a waxing moon. From the page:
"On the surface, Violet seems like an ordinary woman in her early thirties working a crappy bartending job, just trying to get by night after night. That is, if you ignore the dark purple hair, constantly listening to heavy metal, and smoking way too much legal Californian herb...

And, of course, the fangs.

Despite desperately hiding from a past she'd prefer to forget, everything changes the night she meets Alex, a strangely alluring human girl with a custom-built motorcycle and an adventurous spirit. When it becomes obvious that a mutual attraction starts developing between the two, Violet will have a difficult choice to make: Will she keep running from her past and her feelings to keep Alex safe from the world of the undead and the horrors that follow? Or will she risk everything, even her own unlife, for a chance at true happiness?

This is a mature novel that deals with a lot of heavy themes. While the core of the story revolves around the budding love between two (and more!) women who do ultimately achieve a happy ending, there are moments of extreme violence and horror. More detailed content warnings are below, but reader discretion is advised.

There is also quite a lot of sex."

I play ttrpgs to get away from life while exploring real themes in a metaphorical context, not relive my most embarrassing moments through several layers of fantastical dressing :|

like in this era of censorship I'm actually pretty stoked to see videos titled "[F4F] Kidnapped by Poly Serial Killers [Poly Lesbian Roleplay]"

also uhhh. I might also be into this more than I was prepared for

Ruby Bloodthirst 🍉🏳️‍⚧️💕✨💖🦄🌸 @rubyrockatansky.bsky.social · 8h

I've quickly learned that the asmr RP youtubers are unhinged in a way I was not prepared for but I think I'm 100% here for it because we need more freaky people making art for themselves and other freaky folks

every so often I watch this video because goddamn.
god. damn. how anyone managed to stuff this much artistry, skill, and creativity into a just over 2-minute track is astounding.

there are entire prog metal concept albums that don't even approach this level of depth.
