Women want one thing*, and it's disgusting.

*A dystopia where the love of your life comes back but actually she's a robot and the world is going to shit and over the course of the series you have to save it and oh yeah the mental illness is overbearing.

A drawing of two women sitting on a bench. The one on the left (Abby) has very straight brunette hair. She's wearing red and black flannel with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She has a black shirt underneath the open flannel and black leggings. The one on the right (Erika) has light brown hair that is mostly hidden under a grey beanie hat. She's wearing an orange hoodie and blue jeans. Erika is resting her head on Abby's shoulder and looking at her lovingly.

Can't decide which one to submit! Do you have a favorite among these 8?

1) buff-tip moth in 2 poses
2) would you still love me earthworm
3) green-lipped mussel spat
4) red-banded leafhopper

(choices 5-8 in comment!)
Digital painting of a buff tip moth in two poses. One has wings spread to show the soft gray brown wings with buff colored "eye" spots at the tip while the other is the moth sitting on a tree branch. When its wings are closed, the moth resembles very much a twig as it is an expert in camouflage. Black and white drawing of an earthworm in an S-shape on its side. The words would you still love me follow the curve on the left and the words if I was a worm follow the curve on the right. The background is an elaborate symmetrical doodle of teardrop shapes of varying sizes. A semi-realistic digital painting of deep red seaweed that is covered with young mussels, which are called spat. Their developing shells are a creamy beige with burgundy red lined patterns. Digital drawing of a Red-banded leafhopper (Graphocephala coccinea) perched on a branch amid fanciful looking yellow flowers that reflect the same color as the insect's head, belly, and legs. The insect has strikingly colorful wings in a swirly pattern of turquoise and deep pink.

Speaking of Ingram, you’ll all be thrilled to learn that it is just as shitty and confusing and hard to work with on the bookstore end as it is on the indie pub side 🙂

I see a lot of indie bookstores in the groups I’m in refuse to carry indie authors that are published through KDP because “fuck Amazon, they’re bad for authors.” And I wonder how many of them realize that Amazon actually pays comparatively better than Ingram etc. 🥲

I cannot stress enough that I would rather be getting work than having to ask for help like this. So check my services or idk... if anyone knows any opportunities for someone whose skills involve translation and/or knowledge of Brazilian Portuguese... Help in that regard would be extremely valuable.

So, I hate to be coming here for stuff like this, especially when I haven't been very active like I used to... but I am very stressed about this in particular and I don't have much recourse right now. More info below, if you'd like👇

Really getting frustrated that I clearly communicate things that deeply upset me and then people are surprised when I’m deeply upset by them doing said things ☹️ like I can’t be any more open and then I’m the bad guy for getting triggered. Okay

💜♠️ Asexual Awareness Week 💜♠️
This is your periodic reminder that asexuality is a real thing 🏳️‍🌈

And yes, my grey-asexual ass actually wrote a book that contains sexual content 😱 slow-burn but still 🔥 I'm no less ace 😌
Also: articles in the QP 📝

A screenshot of a tweet from 25 January, 2021. Hey, just a PSA: Asexuality is a real thing. Same for demi- and grey-asexual, and all the other microlabels under the ace umbrella 💜🖤💜 It is not a fucking "made-up identity" 😤 Also, fyi: libido =/= sexual attraction. Some aces have sex, some don't, all are equally valid ace. The tweet has 1129 reposts, 25 quotes, and 2788 likes. Queer, slow-burn erotic gothic horror. The book cover is shown surrounded by tropes. It reads: Sapphic, Overcoming trauma. Polyam F/F/M. Kill your abusers, Standalone, Hurt/comfort, Kinky lord, Blood-drinking & cannibalism. Lord Deminas is known to be cruel. Yet, he's rather protective of Meya, his new chambermaid, and punishes anyone who dares hurt her. Servants regularly vanish, and with the Lord now drinking her blood, Meya and her paramour need to avoid the same happening to either of them. Shimaira dot com
