Hello and welcome! I am a writer and artist creating tender monster smut, typically of the horror romance variety, centering ace/aro characters and truly monstrous beasties🫀🔞✨

copies of In the Jaws of an Oak and Hallowed Be Her Flesh, both by Emryn Bird, surrounded by hearts

crop of a digital illustration where royal revenant is holing an astrologer close with its many limbs behind a crumbling wall in Laskyar Ruins, penetrating them side-ways with one of their two dicks from a gaping chest.

rough colored sketch of a large draconic beast with a skeletal face and large spines running down their back, blindfolded and arms tied behind their back. A dainty nude princess kneels between the beast’s crossed legs, kissing and inserting her finger in the tip of their ribbed erect member, triggering it to quiver as they pant.

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

some of y'all need to read less in terms of volume and read more into things because I fear themes go over the heads of too many

The vampires in my series are diverse. We start off with elegant, aristocratic Blood Mages, but that's only the veneer. Slowly, we unveil the rot underneath, the hunger that turns man into beast as vampires are born, and we don't stop there.

Interested? The story starts in MISTRESS OF LIES.

Cover for Mistress of Lies by K. M. Enright, The Sunday Times bestseller. Black cover, with a scowling long-haired woman in a Gothic style red and gold headdress and brocade sleeves like wings against a background of red and white roses. Her hands are tipped in gold claws and she holds a long dagger. Blurbs from Melissa Caruso — “Dark, dangerous, and entrancing” — and Sara Hashem — “A decadent story that won’t let you go.”

If you like your vampires weird, horny, violent, noble, AND monstrous, THE FEALTY OF MONSTERS is set in a world where vampires live alongside humans, both as nobles and as beasts,

The beasts are based on mosquitos and bats because I wanted to honor where I'm from in Poland and nod to common lore

So porn is only bad if people have to be paid to make it. Cause it's women's work. Do I have that right?

Sewing, illustration, cooking, child care, sex, we should all be passionately hurling ourselves into these jobs for no pay because that's our place.

if you haven't thought about how a monster excretes bodily waste, do you even love monsters, like even if one doesn't care for piss or scat kink like myself, I NEED TO KNOW HOW THE PHYSIOLOGY WORKS

I usually go "the old blood slowly congeals" as the water content is absorbed, so fresh blood helps flush out their system, resulting in horrific bloody shit some time after feeding
