'Ello, I am a sad monster what writes about unsettling and fantastical things that lurk in dark places. Mostly horror flavored, some erotically charged, and all of it weird.

I'm in the same boat and I hate it. In that I've gotten no sales through D2D for months, the itch stories are restricted so no one can find them but they did do better there.

So I have no idea what to do either but know you're not alone?

My mom just recommended I watch One Piece on Netflix, the live action version. This is a woman who wouldn't let me watch anime growing up (never gave reasons). If it wasn't Disney I wasn't allowed to watch it. I had to argue my case for every single thing or watch it secret.

I'm just...

He is an entire root structure of destructive traits, so I'm just glad some of them are endearing.

Dyre @dyre.bsky.social · 12h

I've noticed that those who read even a little of #WealdandWen really like Delgrij. Reasons given are his ability to keep going and stay relatively positive for those around him even when he's falling apart. It's endearing but, personally, I think it's his most destructive trait. >.>

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

What is your character's most endearing/compelling trait?

What is something about them that you think will make a reader invested in them and their story?

Is it also the thing you like best about them?

Greatest writing plan is to finish the series #WealdandWen begins. I have lots of little plans between and after but that's the big one. To get that story out there.

I also really love creating worlds and situations but my brain won't do that right now...so...roleplaying game it is.

Dyre @dyre.bsky.social · 1d

BG3 has taught me I just like making characters. I want to make little people and give them a personality and see what they do with it...but I am too tired and stupid right now to write my stories.

So I am making characters and letting this game do all the thinking work while I get to watch.

You'll get used to it and then it is the funnest thing and you'll be sad not to have it in Silksong...because that one does it at an angle and I wish to throw controller.

"Why am I so sad and tired," I ask entirely forgetting I've been on a heavily restricted diet and the only sugars I've had are fruit sugars...and not much.

I'm having withdrawals because sugar is in everything and I've been cut off from most things.

Clearly I must make treats.

But I'm so tired.

I should probably start using the labels for these. >.>
#BeforeDeluca today, #WIPSnips with a bit of their first night together, first meeting even. Just rush to bed with the pretty man whose eyes glow in moonlight. No one ever accused Ludovico of being smart.

With my hair tangled in his fingers, his other hand guided and emphasized his want with a thrust that slammed me into the wall. Laughing, he held my hair tighter, keeping my face safe from the next and the next, those sweet sounds of his rising to join my own.
And as mine came more ragged, halted with the force of him, the speed—the sharp nails scraping down my sides—he laid along my back. Nuzzling his face between my shoulder blades, he let loose my hair and wrapped his arms as tight around me as he was able.
“Yes,” he moaned into my skin, with slower hips, easing in and out of me, coiling as close and tight as he could, “you’re so warm, so perfectly warm.” I shivered with that voice, song as it was to my ears, and he locked his hips tight against me. “Not yet,” he whispered before teasing my shoulder with the impossible sharpness of his teeth, “you have more warmth to give me.”
I moaned with the bite and the returned rhythm of his hips, and he moaned with what spilled from me, holding me tighter, closer through the shiver that took me—thrusting faster to earn his own. My veins ached with his draw, cold and prickling his fangs dug through all of me, stealing more and more of my blood, my life, suckling my shoulder as hard and hungry as I had him.
And it should have frightened me, worried me, hurt me. It did none of them. Dizzying, yes, surprising, yes, but I drowned in the sensation of it—of him. Chill on my skin but hot in my veins, it was as if I dove into icy waters after too much wine. I even whimpered when he stopped, sad for the loss of that heady pull.

It is fun to email him back and basically tell him I hate him though. I doubt he reads those emails or he'd stop emailing me, but it's fun anyway.

"You should email your senators!"

My senator emailed me claiming DEI policies were invented by Biden and used the word 'woke' in a manner that suggests his only source of air is what passes through the digestion of the current administration.

I am not changing these minds.

I think someone mistook 'review' for 'complaint box'. Personally, I listen to be entertained and mildly spooked. You consistently exceed expectations for both and the retrospective was a delightful insight into how things work. Also the 31 days of scares has been a treat and I love it to bits.

'Spree (2020)' is a fascinating movie with a lot to say, a lot that will be blatantly ignored and they appear well aware of that.

But man was that a good performance. Fun to see the actor as more than Steve from Stranger Things.

Dyre @dyre.bsky.social · 2d

Neither. I can't...I can't wink. I've been asked if I was trying to blink and just forgot I had two eyes when trying. It's not pretty, there's twitching involved.

Oh everyone talks about the bear scene. No one talks about how awkward the mindflayer one is.

This dumb wet noodle of a man got his wish and I would like all the bleach please.

Not because it was explicit, it was hardly anything really, but it was awkward and I feel it was so on purpose.

Dyre @dyre.bsky.social · 4d

I have done the planning for game night. Am I prepared? probably not, but it certainly looks like I am and that's good enough.

Now I could go clean up and bake treats but I don't want to move so I'm going to play bg3 for six or seven hours instead.

Like an adult.
