As I'm back, might as well give this another punt.

One of my friends commented earlier that reaching out when one needs help is complicated by feeling that others have too many problems of their own.
So, I've decided to leverage my situation.
I'm doing well. Do any of you need to talk?
Pondering gaps in #sciencefiction.
If you wanted an entertaining read about a future that differed from this world in one aspect, what are you having difficulty finding?
A different attitude to race? A new default on gender/sex? A specific political structure?
Not saying I'll know how to write it well, but I'd like to push my boundaries in a way that produces greater social good if I can.
"[I'm] trying to pull off a track that’ll result in everyone getting exactly the kind of world they want.
"Everyone including the enemy."
Unelmoija: The Timeshifter by Elle Boca
"Boca continues to mix plausible modern-day characters with a magical world that doesn’t rely on stereotypes, to create urban fantasy that is both fresh and accessible.
This novel is the fourth in the Weeia series. Spoilers ahoy!"

#WeirdHookMonth Bad Habits
Demons are drawn to sin like flies to rotten fruit. Knowing this, the vice monks each deliberately seek to commit a chosen sin as often as possible so that others might be spared the attentions of evil.

Something a bit odd, not a mech this time either lol - drew it a while ago and just decided to try and colour it on my phone! Fun times. I set it to NSFW just cause it has boobies. But it's pretty ugly so I don't think it's a big deal #weirdo #art #sketch #sketchbook #characterdesign #quick #creature #creaturedesign #creativetoot #mastoart #nsfw #fantasy
#WeirdHookMonth Forever Young
The Stargrave-Mason Orgone Transductor permits courts to take energy from a defendant to literally grant a plaintiff back the amount of good life they lost. Some radicals claim this grants the young a monopoly on justice.

#WeirdHookMonth Just Deserts

An ancient Danish text grants the reader the form and abilities of what they eat - but only while it is in your system. The final page, detailing how to end the power, has been torn out.
We Are Updating Our Occult Privacy Policy
At some point in the last few years, we have:
) Viewed you through a scrying pool and/or mirror
) Crafted a double of you from blood and willpower and used it to manipulate your moods and actions and/or
) Sunk into a dark liquid pool, then rose again to the surface but the surface was your eyes, through which we saw all you saw, thought as you thought, as intimate as breath.
Due to new legislation, now we have to ask:
Can we keep doing all that?
