I am very specifically looking for queer SFF authors who haven't had a chance yet to take part in any bundles! So if you've been snapping your fingers in disappointment that you keep missing out, this bundle is very intentionally for you! I'll take care of promo graphics, admin, etc! You enjoy! 📦📚

A second blessing upon the feed!

Are you a queer SFF author who has just started getting set up on ithcio and hasn't had the chance yet to participate in a bundle?

I'm organizing/hosting a pride month bundle just for you! Limited spots!

If you get bait-and-switched into an itchio bundle where the creator makes it seem like it's paid and then sets it to free, meaning you can't even link to your Itch items without the bundle banner appearing over your listing and letting everyone know your work is for free, you can hide the banner 🧵

My collection of #trans dudes in gay situations has hit 150 entries! That means you've got at least 150 different stories to choose from when looking for #queer stories involving #ftm men. (And I expect you to look through it!)

Memories and choices

#OC

My OC Eliott (Dressed in blue 17th century clothes, middle length brunette hair, pointy ears) sitting on a statue atop the folds of its skirt. The statue is holding a sword and a quill and while he is reaching for the quill, smiling down at it with certainty and tranquility, his other hand lingers near the sword. A climbing plant called string of hearts gathers around the head and shoulders of the statue and then down the arm holding the sword, slithering down the blade to the floor. The leaves are golden around the head (looking a bit like a laurel crown) and then turn green and finally red when they get to the sword (looking a bit like spilled blood). The statue has a crack over one side of the head that lets us see a skull underneath.
There's a white 'marble' frame around the picture with flower motifs (chicory flowers), larks and the shield of Eliotts family (a balance that has the hilt of a rapier and the head of a quill)

🕸️Oathbreaker Paladin Dorian, the Kinslayer, Champion of Lolth🕸️

What-If Dorian had accepted the Spider Queen’s offer and been crowned with her vestige?

In the #What-ifHells series I redesign Bells Hells as different classes. For more like this check the post below! #criticalrolefanart

Dorian Storm from Critical Role’s Bells Hells redesigned as a Paladin.
Dorian is wearing tight black leather trousers and a leather bolero that cover his entire arms up to his fingertips, but leaving the chest and abdomen open. He is wearing black leg armour and shoulder pauldrons with spiderweb details in silver. Over his sternum is a big spider-shaped jewel, from which hangs a spiderweb-like body chain and more spider jewellery. He is wearing a pointy black metal crown, that sinks into his head, which drips black ichor. He has black tattos on the side of his face, reminiscent of spider legs, and his entire neck is tattooed in black. His hair is briaded back in two braids, and one eye is blue, while the other one is green (like his brother). He is staring menacingly at the viewer, with dark heavy make up around his eyes. Dorian is wielding a spooky halberd in silver, covered in red spider details. His capelet is gauzy and looks like spiderwebs.

i'll just keep swimming until i see you again
(for #mermay, 2023)

An illustration of my characters, Mu (back) and Rasha (front), in a mermaid AU. It pours heavy rain as rasha, who is seen from behind, stays put on land, watching mu sail away in an old boat.

original description:
"in this au, mu works as some sort of mechanic at a small fishing sloop.
he gets knocked overboard as a huge storm hits, mysteriously carried ashore to an unknown itty bitty island. there's a broken old dory there ironically named 'solid gold' that he sets out to fix to eventually find his way back home. spending several days on the island, mu comes to notice that the fish he catches goes missing sometimes, and marks of human hands smaller than his own are sometimes scattered around the sand close to shore.

one day, as he is fishing, he catches something that puts up a mighty fight. mu trumps and finds the creature to be rasha, a lonely merman who now has a hook stuck in his cheek. mu initially cuts the wire to help, but rasha retreats. a few days later, rasha hesitantly comes back, starving because he cannot eat with his injuries, and sees mu as his last resort. mu helps him and a bond is formed - rasha helps him scavenge for materials deep underwater so he can fix the dory, while mu catches fish for rasha to eat, as it turns out rasha is a terrible hunter.

mu eventually has to leave the island, and therefore, rasha, behind.
now you may say to me 'uhmmm nanna, isnt rasha a merman, cant he just chase the boat' and yes, he can do that technically but, A. isn't it way more painful for rasha to understand why he'd have to leave and force himself to stay there and watch (i love suffering.) B. I thought it'd be a great visual metaphor to have the human in water and the merman on land, sort of symbolising how wrong it feels for the both of them to suddenly be apart, if that makes sense. 'like a fish on land' and vice versa?

rashas hair blowing in the wrong direction though, that was not intentional and im an idiot for that."
