I am currently experiencing Personal Safety Concerns relating to the Abuse & Discrimination of Transgender people and will be going on hiatus for a while as I deal with this situation.


If you have messaged me about commissions, please know that your requests have been seen, but I have just been very busy and stressed out and haven't had a chance to answer.


If I owe you a commission, don't worry, it will absolutely be completed. There will just be some significant delays, which may be up to or exceeding 2-3 months.


I have good reason to be afraid for my physical health, safety, and privacy at this time.


Thank you for understanding and I will keep you posted as the situation unfolds.

UPDATES ON COMMISSIONS & GEIST

Hullo! Hope everyone has been enjoying their holidays so far ^^ This time of year is pretty challenging for everyone I think, even when things go well, but if you're having a hard time just know that you aren't alone ❤️ These are very trying times we're living in and a lot that's going on is pretty scary and upsetting, both within the bigger political picture and within individual family units.


A kind reminder that you don't owe anyone who dehumanizes or abuses you a place at your table. Family is as family does. And family does NOT value hurting you over loving you and does NOT insist that you pretend that abuse isn't happening or expect you to silently endure it for the sake of your abuser's comfort. You do not owe anyone perpetually unrequited respect, love, empathy, or time/effort and if they end up alone on the holidays because of their abhorrent behavior, it is their fault. You don't owe them guilt over that either, although that's easier said than felt, but I promise that the pain of excluding an abuser in the family is less than the pain of inviting them just to spend a night that's supposed to be about love and togetherness in a state of intense trauma and fake smiles.


In happier news, I FINISHED MY NOVEL!!! AHHHH!!! At about 170k+ words! ^^ That's a little bigger than Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It's just the rough draft, mind you, it's not suitable for sharing with readers yet, but I've finally got all the bones set right, all the important events and interactions organized and perfectly timed, and I'm ready to finally write the first official draft. Hopefully it all starts coming out really easy now. When I got to this point with Batman2020, I wrote the whole story in like two months. It was wild. Wish me luck!!!


On Commissions: Commissions will be going on an indefinite hiatus for a bit. I've got one lovely comic commission I'm still wrapping up, but after that I'm gonna be on break. I've got to focus as much time and artist energy as possible into writing my novel now that it's finally ready. I picked up a side job in the meantime, but we'll see how long that lasts lol. Either it'll work out or I'll get abused until I quit (again) and open commissions once more. Fingers crossed that it's the former!

The rough draft of my novel is officially at 163k words!!

For reference: LOTR: The Return of the King - 137k words Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince - 169k words The Shining - 166k words

The last time I benchmarked myself was June 2nd at 88k words, so 75k words in 5 months? About 15k a month? Slowly but surely!

I wish I could share it!! AHH. But my rough drafts are not consumer friendly. They're guidelines for me to follow for the first draft. But either way! I'm excited! The story is finally coming together and once the rough draft is done, the first draft with hopefully develop very quickly!

Notes on Geist: Smile Like You Mean It

Concept art & spoilers from the novel/comic I'm creating.


CONTENT WARNING: VIOLENT/PROBLEMATIC NSFW, 18+ ONLY! MINORS FUCK OFF!




Characters - Jay (left), Hunter (right)


About Geist:


In a futuristic, dystopian America that has been fractured by cosmic disaster & civil war, multiple factions of citizens, criminals, and metahumans organize and rebel against the fascist rule of the new American Oligarchy and their brutal, private police force, ARES, in the city of Alastor, NY.


About Jay & Hunter:


Hunter is an agent of the American Oligarchy, a psychopathic, orphaned billionaire who joins the private police force, ARES (which stands for Assault, Recovery, & Emergency Specialization), as it's leader specifically to inflict brutality and violence upon the impoverished citizen of the city of Alastor under the guise of "justice". He is utterly uninterested in any form of systemic change, seeing nothing at all wrong with the system in place, and exists to serve and uphold the supremacy of the bigoted, wealthy ruling class, despite his own problematic status as a metahuman.


Jay is an anarchistic, transgender kingpin that strives to amass as much power as he can, by any means necessary, within the fascist hellscape of Alastor in an effort to combat the Oligarchy, ARES, and the system of power that has long persecuted him, and people like him (both LGBTQ folk and metahumans). He is also possessed by an immortal poltergeist that resurrects him each time he dies, a process that has heavily contributed to the destruction of his mental stability.


They are both sadistic killers and predators to whom the ends always justify the means and whose sexualities were shaped in environments of trauma and violence. Jay strings Hunter along, playing the damsel in distress to his violent advances and hiding his real intentions until Hunter finds himself in too deep with a monster he didn't see coming.

Super Zeroes

I always find it really fucking irritating that superhero movies cast the characters that have been fucked over by systemic injustice or billionaire cunts or have been driven to extremes by them as the villains and then never talk about it again. Never talk about how to fix that or actually make shit better.


Like everyone that got fucked over by Tony Stark. Like Riddler, who targeted the unjust and corrupt. Like Toomes and Mysterio in Spiderman.


There's always a thin veil of reasoning to why they're considered the villains, but then we never fuckin talk about systemic change. We never talk about how Tony Stark or Batman could do REAL and LASTING change for the world by investing their billions in things like affordable housing or anything. Tony Stark/Bruce Wayne could buy every homeless vet in NYC/Gotham a whole ass house and still be billionaires. Or buy everyone on foodstamps a car outright. They could reinstate mental health care facilities that are affordable and actually help people. They could pay for every orphan that's about to age out of an orphanage to go to college. They could literally start their own UBI programs and use them to prove to the world that UBIs work.


I get that's not as exciting as fighting aliens from space, but fuck. Then you got Avengers out here with the cellphone surveillance system that was a huge point of controversy in The Dark Knight and I guess they're just fine with it?? Nevermind morality at all. There's always a good enough reason to violate everyone's civil rights, but never a good enough reason to actually fix what's wrong with the world...


Idk. It's just depressing. I love Avengers and Batman and all that superhero shit, but... it does make it hard to watch them sometimes...
