The itchio launch bundle has ended, but I’ve officially set up a Kofi goal to get Elven published in paperback! If we meet this goal (which covers formatting and print costs) by October 31st, then I’ll be able to offer Elven in paperback and list my first ever book boxes! 💙📚

The Underground by Azalea Forrest. The cover is of a city a night, zoomed in on a manhole cover. Text surrounds the cover with arrows pointed at it: vampires & werewolves, ghosts & batgirls, anime inspired violence, just a lot of fun, arson, insane vilainess, no sparkles.

And what will you do when they simply don’t respond to your demands? Demanding is fine and good but I need to know what happens when demands aren’t met (because a lot of people have been demanding an end to this violence to no avail). What more does it take?

But then I think about what we were taught in history and how it was taught to us and I realize that we have been conditioned to see this behavior as “potentially acceptable” as though human life and freedoms are debatable.

D.C. (Desi) Heart @desiheart.bsky.social · 1d

Honestly this kind of answers a question that’s been nagging at me lately: how can a group of people who witness a nation uniting in protest, celebrities speaking out against them, and the rest of the world laughing at their heinous behavior still think “lol liberals dumb”? It’s baffled me.

I understand why comic artists continue to post on Twitter. I hate that they need to, but I understand. Thankfully, I am a writer, so I don't have to. But I'm not letting people aggravate my former road dog @faridkaramiart.bsky.social today. So I guess I'll go in here.
