KINSHIP OF AEITHALIS

In a land ravaged by war and abandoned by its magical guardians, a fractured company of soldiers 🐲 team up with an old enemy 🐺 to survive. Will they fall to the monstrous Invaders? Or will they tear each other apart first?
#BluePit #📖#W #F #A #LGBT

An aesthetic board for the plot of KINSHIP OF AEITHALIS: Volume 1. Featuring images of:
grand stone columns
swords crossing in unison
warriors standing side by side
a forest with a ruined arch
a battered warrior holding their sword close
interlocked hands with the subtitle "Stay."
A dark, misty forest with foreboding shadows in the trees
A grand, ruined cathedral overgrown with nature

Just in time for #AceVisibilityWeek, here's the final version of the character reference sheet for my deer boy, Edwin! 🖤🤍💜

A character reference sheet for an anthropomorphic deer, Edwin. He has brownish orange fur with a white torso. He has medium-sized antlers and white spots throughout his body. A set of scars is cut along his left cheek.

The reference displays Edwin in multiple forms of dress: in underwear to show his fur markings, in a red button-up shirt with brown pants and suspenders, and finally his poncho which has stripes of varying widths in earthy colors. Accessories like his staff, staff holder, and bag are on display.

The text reads:
Edwin Batcher
Species: Deer hybrid
Pronouns: He/him
Orientation: Gay/gray-asexual
Occupation: Unemployed/Protector of the forest (unofficially)

My Middle Child sent me this, and I liked the analogy so I'm re-sharing here:

#LGBTQIA #LGBT #2SLGBTQIA #Asexual #AceWeek

Asexual Attraction
*Pie = sex/sexual attraction

Allosexual
"I want pie."

Asexual
"I don't want pie" ***I might eat it or enjoy it, though."

Demisexual
“I don't usually want pie, unless it's a pie I've had before or know a lot about."

Fraysexual
“I want pie when I first see it, but the longer I look at if, the less I actually want it. Eventually, I don't want it."

Cupiosexual
“I don't want pie, but I want to and enjoy eating it."

Graysexual/ Gray-Asexual
“I almost never want pie. There may only be one or two pies I ever want in my lifetime."

Apothisexual
“I don't want pie and I never want to eat it. I don't like it at all."

Akoi/Litho sexual
"I want pie sometimes, but I don't ever want to eat it."

Thank you for saying this. I often spend far too much time and energy on trying explain/justify everything in my stories for those kinds of readers, and it's utterly exhausting.

Tylor E Kunkle @tylorkunkle.bsky.social · 1d

Yeeeeeup.

A brilliant engineer must work with the scientist who trapped thousands in small gems to save them, but to do so, they will need to learn to trust one another—with the science, with their loved ones, and with their confused aro hearts.

An arrow trope image where several elements point to a central cover. The cover features a masc person and a child stand in a city street with their back to the viewer. The child is pointing towards a flock of birds swooping through the sky. The entire cover is in tones of blue, and it is clearly set in winter.
The surrounding information includes: the evil scientist who betrayed ols community, fixing what’s broken / aftermath story, three arospec leads with messy relationships to romance, the chaos of a six cats household, may contain Baker Thief characters, the gender feels of choosing a body for yourself, fantasy city and spring traditions inspired by Quebec City

I still have mine!

I see it the most with "cozy" lofi channels. I wouldn't be surprised if the lofi itself was also AI-generated. >_>
