Writer of gay smut and equally-gay soft, fluffy romance. Would also be very gay but is very asexual instead. Probably just a figment of your imagination. [Transmasc, non-binary. They/them.]

Last Notes npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae #WordWeavers 6: Does your MC feel understood? Why/why not? The problem is that Milos knows that they *want* to understand him. On a biological level. If he hadn't been chosen by Nazarian he'd probably have polymetal coming out of all sorts of unpleasant places in an effort to understand how it works with his alfa body and enhanced healing. And he has no doubt it would take a *long* time: they still don't fully understand Alex, and they've been working on him since he was a baby... npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae @npub1dzj…4cun She was clearly working on the theory that you never know, and you might all have been murdered in your beds by this interloper if she wasn't careful. 😂 npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae #WordWeavers 24: Out of all your writing, what was the hardest scene for you to write? I'm having trouble starting Radial 3 because it begins with Alex going off for a test in Research, and then Milos has to be called because it's Not Gone Well and Alex can't be touched to retrieve him. Quite literally. Alex has quite strong feelings about not wanting this to happen, so I've not yet been able to start. Also, I accidentally creeped myself out with a plotline in Caeso's main book. npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae Note to self: remember the 'con' in the phrase 'mi piace mangiare con Mario.' It gets messy otherwise. npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae Even though I have Shaolin Soccer on DVD, here I am watching it on Netflix anyway... This is the first time I'm watching it un-dubbed, and I'm surprised that the dub actually does it justice for once. I'm glad, now I can love both. npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae Pistachio coffee is nicer than I expected it to be. npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae What sucks, though, is that with the best will in the world, the minute Meta federate then they'll stick their horrible, clammy, grasping little fingers all over everyone's artwork to feed their LLM shit. npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae I suddenly had the thought to get my post archive and back up my followers last night. Seems I timed it right, since the last time this reared its head I found out that my instance owner has no issue federating with Threads. I have my exit plan. 🙂 npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae @npub1dzj…4cun Luckily Virgin Media haven't done this (ironic, really, considering the name), but I once had to go into an O2 store and complain because their overzealous "OMG PORN!!!" system thought Cult Pens was a porn site and I had to have them set my phone up for 'adult' content. To view a stationery site. (And now O2 are owned by Virgin...) All I can do is offer *hugs?* npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae @npub1dzj…4cun I'm sure, but I feel like they do a better job of keeping it quiet. We get people faking death for money & sympathy, hounding authors off socials for not being lesbian enough (not that it seems anyone asked her in the first place), and stalking hockey players and blaming it on romance books, just off the top of my head. And all of that is after the US accredited organisation very publicly imploded itself. I suppose it's on-brand a subset of people would be addicted to drama though... npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae #WordWeavers 22: Do you purposefully use symbolism in your story? Sometimes it appears, but it's usually my subconscious writing it in. My subconscious is a bit smarter than me, irritatingly. npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae Elderly dog Cassie passed away last night. She was 17, so I knew it would happen soon. I'm heartbroken, but at least she's happy now, had no aches and is with her sister, who passed away a few years ago. Here are some photos of her when she was younger, back when she had two working eyes, could run around, and there was no smol dog to bother her. https://cdn.masto.host/writing/media_attachments/files/111/034/611/784/115/079/original/29ba1da79af25b32.jpg https://cdn.masto.host/writing/media_attachments/files/111/034/612/049/038/348/original/235910017aa44e54.jpg https://cdn.masto.host/writing/media_attachments/files/111/034/612/283/653/361/original/5b6d8e311541f3a8.jpg npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae #WordWeavers 1: Introduce the antagonist as sympathetically as possible He's just a loyal sibling, trying to put right an injustice he feels was perpetrated against him and his brother a long time ago. (Main story antagonist, and I might be more sympathetic if he'd turned up when I started writing the damn thing five years ago.) npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae #WritingWonders 25 part 2 (since Caeso is a bit unsatisfying for this 😜) His parents died when he was young, but Milos thinks he would probably die of shame if they'd known he used to be a sex worker, and the idea that they would still love him now he's been experimented on is... difficult for him to believe. Alex thinks they wouldn't care about anything Milos did to survive and would just be glad he's finally happy. If Alex ever gets his hands on HIS parents, he plans to make them very sorry. npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae @npub1dzj…4cun Yeah, it's... itchy, mostly, but I do notice it if I touch it at any point. 😅 Or breathe on it. Or a light breeze comes near it. So you just know smol dog will jump on it later. npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae It's a good thing I work from home. My selfish bastard neighbours have blocked in my drive with a flatbed truck containing aggregate because they're having something done with their garden yet again. That something does not seem to involve fixing the damage their massive shrub is causing my fence, mind. So I think you can guess just how much they seem to care about the fact they're also blocking the road junction... 🙄 npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae I'm trying to remember that even when I feel like every single thing I've written is awful and clunky, at least by writing it I can sort it out later. Just sometimes it's so difficult to remember and I want to slap my laptop closed and run away. *sigh* https://cdn.masto.host/writing/media_attachments/files/110/878/878/886/760/184/original/f729de9f6b8b324e.png npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae @npub18jm…my9f *hugs* Thank you so much for all your hard work! npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae @npub1fgl…4jl4 I bet you could, and probably get there much faster than me, if you gave it a go. 😜 npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae #WritingWonders 4 *grumbles* I haven't really drawn anything in years. But I can never find curly hair that I really like in 3D so I've never made a 3D version of Geoff... so I'm afraid I've only got a photo of this sketch I literally just did for this question, and I hate it already. 😭 (Just... keep on imagining your own version of him...) No picture of Kita, she'd probably hunt me down... https://cdn.masto.host/writing/media_attachments/files/110/830/414/139/846/248/original/14eacbbd16123101.jpg npub1e92x9rpuwn65cuu0c453uzhdppx30l434h3lvmptxl25szca2qeq2vs2r6 Pax Asteriae @npub1dzj…4cun Happy birthday. 💜
