ICYMI finished copies of my debut novel have arrived! The UK release date is Nov 7th so you still have a little bit of time to get a preorder in! The Abyss would appreciate it greatly if you did. 🖤🦷
Sex is great but have you ever let the creators of something make decisions about it and NOT made deeply possessive/entitled rants about it like a decent human being?
I DONT KNOW WHO NEEDS TO HEAR THIS BUT...YOU ARE AN IRREPLACEABLE GASH IN THE FABRIC OF REALITY, YOUR KEENING STATIC HOWL IS LIKE NO OTHER AND IF IT FADED FROM THE ABYSS THE VOID THAT WOULD REMAIN WOULD BE UNFILLABLE AND THE MANSIONS OF SILENCE WOULD FOREVER FILL WITH OUR LAMENT
MIRRORS ARE COMPLETELY SAFE. NO PRECAUTIONS AT ALL NEED TO BE MADE BEFORE THE NEXT TIME YOU LOOK INTO ONE. REFLECTIONS NEVER SHOW EXTRA DOORS. DO NOT WORRY IF THE HANDLE ON ONE OF THOSE DOORS IS SLOWLY TURNING. YOU ARE SAFE TO TURN YOUR BACK TO ALL MIRRORS. SAFE saFE SAfE SafE
YOU ARE ENOUGH, YOUR TEETH AND YOUR MEAT, YOUR CLAWS AND YOUR DORSAL SPINES, YOU ARE ENOUGH, YOUR HEART OR WHATEVER HAS TAKEN ITS PLACE NESTING IN THE CAGE OF YOUR RIBS, YOU ARE ENOUGH, YOU, DARK AND GLORIOUS ARE ENOUGH, WITHERED AND SURVIVING, YOU ARE ALWAYS ENOUGH
You ever feel like you missed out on a lot of normal childhood activities? Riding bikes after dusk. Skipping class to go to the arcade. Swearing vengeance on an eternal entity that has hunted your families bloodline. Delving into whatever dark arts you need to end the cycle...
**rolls dice**
Okay so Anne is going to pass the raspberry cordial to Diana as part of her bonus move and they get a +2 to combined actions because of their bosom friend perks. Now I am holding Anne's action till the Blythe boy attacks, remember she leveled up her puffed sleeves
THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM, THE EARLY BIRD KEEPS PULLING DARK GLISTENING COILS OF WRITHING LUMINOUS FLESH, THE EARLY BIRD'S MOUTH IS FULL, STILL THE WORM CONTINUES TO SPOOL UP FROM THE GROUND, THE EARLY BIRDS EYES ARE NOW DARK, ITS BEAK RAGGED, THE WORM FILLS IT, THE EARLY BIRD
A very special

design on CritRole tonight! Our intrepid DM is sporting the Pride Dice Rainbow design and it just so happens that all this month and all of June the profits from all rainbow dice designs will be going to LGBTQ charities!
God has a plan for us but if we are careful and watch for his attack patterns all we have to do is aim for the big glowing chest gem when his armor plates open and we should be fine.
DON THESE RAIMENTS OH COLD FLAME, FOR WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU, CIRCLING LIKE VULTURES, THEY SHALL FIND THAT YOUR TEETH HAVE GROWN OH SO MANY AND SHARP, YOUR HEART DARK AND TRUE, THEIR LAMENTS WILL BE SWEET UPON YOUR EARS
MY KINK IS PUTTING MY EAR TO THE TRUNK OF THE OLDEST TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST AND THEN STANDING THERE TRANSFIXED BY THE SONG I HEAR WITHIN TILL THE MOSS COVERS ME AND THE GREEN RECLAIMS MY BONES
This season’s color palettes are: the blood of your enemies, the bones of those who stand against you, the wind howling amongst the forgotten tombs of all those who thought you small and weak
The problem with D&D is it promotes this unattainable fantasy world where you get to travel to interesting places with your friends and make money doing the things you love.
Don't hoard your approval. Tell people you admire that you do. Encourage creators you respect. The culture of 2 COOL 4 SCHOOL has poisoned the art world well for long enough. Lift people up, let them know that the things they are releasing into the void have found a home in you.
HOT SINGLES IN YOUR AREA,
JAWS CLICKING AS THEY RUN PALLID TONGUES OVER ROW AFTER ROW OF NEW TEETH, LIPS FOLDING BACK FROM THOSE TEETH LIKE PETALS OF A JAGGED FLOWER, TIKTOC JUST ISN’T THE SAME AS VINE THEY HOWL, THROATS BULGING IMPOSSIBLY AS SOMETHING BEGINS TO EMERGE
Aragorn: You have my sword
Legolas: ...and my bow
Gimli: ...and my axe
Me: ...and...and my crippling sense of anxiety and the overwhelming certainty that nothing will ever truly work out?
I just finished reading What Moves the Dead by
@UrsulaV
forthcoming from
@TorNightfire
and I have to say the experience of reading it in the dark at 1 am was bone chilling. It’s been a while since a story filled me with actually jump at sounds fear and this one did just that!
Sometimes when it's 2am and I'm feeling especially small and unproductive I like to remember the time someone graffitied ONE OF MY TWEETS ON A WALL IN AMSTERDAM?!
Girls don’t want boys girls want the taste of ash upon their lips and the kiss of flame upon their brows as the patriarchal power structures burn around them.
Notwithstanding how I voted (Bernie) a lot of y’all calling for Warren to just give up is some misogynist bullshit masquerading as armchair politics. Why would she drop out if she believes she is best? Because only the men have real chances? Fuck that.
Breaking news fandoms once again rediscover that content creators are running BUSINESSES for PROFIT! Tune in for local Reply Guy has brand new harvest of sour grapes at 11
God is weakest after his third attack pattern. Wait till he rears back and his chest armor plates open. You’ll want to aim at the pulsing red crystal. Good luck sinners.
Y’all is it gay to hold your sword against the sweat sheened throat of the crown heir you have sworn to protect and train only to find yourself lost in the heaving of their chest, the curve of their neck joining the line of their jaw, the fevered flush of their brow...
Thing I am working on teaching myself:
When I respond to compliments or encouragement with self-deprecation I am invalidating the compliment giver's agency of observation. I am saying I don't trust them. I am taking away their power of affecting the world around them. Stop that.
SOME MINOR CRITROLE SPOILERS IN TWEET! BEWARE!
Pretty stoked to see
@VoiceOfOBrien
wearing the spell component shirt on the FIRST EPISODE of the new
@CriticalRole
campaign! 🤓 I wonder what class he is? 😝 Don't miss out on this great show!
Okay having never seen the actual CR campaign 1 and just watching the first couple of episodes of the show…I love the Briarwoods? They’re like the heroes of the tale right? 🖤🦷🙏

Hey YOU. Your darkness is so beautiful. It has been growing for so long. Those who would want to keep you small and powerless are right to fear what you are slowly becoming. Dead leaves and cold soil are just what blankets the writhing truth of you. You are inevitable.
“Not today Satan” I say wistfully as I ruffle their hair and kiss the nape of their neck in passing. “We’ve both got a lot on our to do lists. Looking forward to tonight though...”
So let me set the mood. Did you know the Beehive offices are in a spooky ass church tower? Well, they are. And with the new social distancing protocols I’m often up here… alone ...at night… sifting through photos and documents about vampires.
THIS IS FINE.
I can’t believe people have to say it’s okay to have a manual labor job. Fucking hell. I still get up at 4:30 am to go and work in a restaurant. Anyone who turns their nose up at an artist who is also a realist about their responsibilities please just unfollow me right now.
YOU
YOU ARE ENOUGH
YOU WITH STUMBLING BROKEN GAIT AND BREATH THAT COMES HARSHLY FROM DEEP WITHIN THE PRISON OF YOUR CHEST, YOU WHO REACHED SO FAR ONLY TO COME BACK WITH BLACKENED CLAWS AND SINGED FEATHERS, YOU WITH GRAVEYARD HOPES AND BOTTOM OF THE WELL DREAMS, YOU ARE ENOUGH
Me: Ah so yep still crushed beneath the heel of student debt and capitalism
Some fancy bourgeois theme hotel: We made a huge sign neon out of something you wrote baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*
Me: Please my family . . . .
I don’t post a lot of pics with myself with people because I don’t know I feel weird about it personally? Like it’s trophyizing them? But I just found this picture of me and Matt where we are both big dorks and it’s too good not to share
YOU ARE ENOUGH
YOU WHO HAS LAIN NIGHTLY WONDERING WHEN YOUR SKIN WILL FINALLY FIT YOU, YOU WHO LICK WOUNDS THAT NEVER SEEM TO HEAL, YOU WHO CURL BENEATH ROCKS AND SLITHER ETERNALLY INTO THE CORNERS OF PICTURES, YOU DASHED DOWN FROM ON HIGH AND SPLENDIDLY DEFIANT...YOU ARE ENOUGH
Sex is great but have you ever tried holding the still beating heart of God in your hands as all his creations turn to ash before his slowly dimming eyes.
Me: there’s only one writer listed on this whole dnd book? I wonder why I haven’t heard any complaining from the other writers who had to have contributed…oh ok I see…
