Just finished The Bartenders Pride by @tjdallas7.bsky.social and let me tell you!!!

The smut smutted!! It was the most wonderful smuttiest smut I've have the pleasure of consuming for quite some time.

Not only was there a very very nice range of kinks to sample, they were also exceptionally done.

One woman incarcerated for a horrific crime, another waiting patiently for her release. The only thing that has kept them both going is their letters and dark desires. But how well can you really know someone through words alone?

Absolutely amazing review on goodreads for She-Wolf!!

Its available on NetGalley for Arc readers to review until the end of the month!
www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

Goodreads review saying:
Outstanding!

Beowulf was so well done. She had clear motivations of the type of person she wanted to be. How she wanted to protect her people. When it's clear she will become Queen, seeing her agonise over a certain decision was something else. No matter what decision she made she would be going against her own morals and dishonouring herself. Unless... 😏

And the ending had me in tears despite knowing what was coming 😭

It's my birthday! As a gift, can I ask you to share my art?🙏

I love drawing vibrant fantasy illustrations, especially in the field of TTRPGs. And speaking of TTRPGs, check out the post below for more fantasy goodness ⬇️✨

Illustration of Mollymauk Tealeaf from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein. Molly is sitting and smiling at some shiny moths that are playfully surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame.

Illustration of Caduceus Clasy from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein.
Caduceus is sitting with a serene expression, playing with some golden butterflies surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame.

Illustration of a blue-skinned character with asymmetrical horns, reminiscent of a half moon. The character is casting a pearlescent, bright spell. They're in a room at night, standing on a decorated pedestal on the floor, in front of shelves full of books.

Illustration of a knight and a pegasus, behind them a blue sky with golden sunset clouds.
The knight is wearing shining, ceremonial armour in silver, blue and gold. In one hand he holds his helmet, the other hand is stroking the nose of the pegasus. The knight’s head rests delicately on the horse’s, in a gesture of delicate friendship. The pegasus is raising one of his wings to hug the knight in return of the gesture.

Even though we'd already met Nicola in previous books, can we all agree this was one hell of an entrance!?🔥 The stride. The stabbing of the heels.🫠 We would probably stiffen too, but for a very different reason to Charlotte & Daniel.😉

Someone who's followed me on Instagram for 2.5 years didn't know I'd done a full tarot deck even though they followed me when I started drawing the cards.
However annoying you think you're being about your work - triple that and it still won't be even close. ✨Repost your work right the fuck now.✨

As a Nonbinary Autistic Immigrant, I agree with all of the below

Dragoncrown Games @dragoncrowngames.bsky.social · 22d

Trans rights are human rights.

Autism rights are human rights.

Immigrant rights are human rights.

EVERYONE'S rights matter.

Pretending minorities deserve less because "they're not like most (read, white+cis) people" is tantamount to civic genocide.

“Content” is a corpo-brain term, makes me cringe when I hear it in the wild.

You don’t make “content”, you make ART! You write STORIES. Its your WORK (and often play too)!

“Content” is the noise you flick through when trying to find a SHOW you like, don’t cheapen your work comparing it to SLOP. 😤

cypii 🪤 @cypjj.bsky.social · 29d

"Content" is a blatantly misleading term to use for fanworks. Fanworks are the antithesis of content; content is produced for individual gain and consuming, whereas fanworks are created out of inspiration and the communal experience.

AARD @obviouslyaard.bsky.social · Sep 14

start using "fanworks" again instead of "content" let's go people
