It feels like this every time I write a fic
Which is sexier, a werewolf or a vampire?
Depends if you find it sexier to submit to the will of charismatic evil or to be overwhelmed by animalistic power. And that's not a decision I can make for you.

Crooked Smiles is a 2-part LGBTQIA+ supernatural horror romance series written by H.L. Holmwood, largely presented as novels, which will include insert comic pages within chapters.
Supplementary zines— a mixture of prose and comic— will be published alongside to expand on characters and plot points; the artwork for these is being created by the amazingly talented Kit Buss / @anemonetea
Set in Victorian London, the series follows Kostya, a working class werewolf, and Ivan, a back-alley vampire doctor, as they battle a threat to both themselves and to the unsuspecting humans living alongside their kind.
Kostya is a cocky northern bloke with a chip on his shoulder. Ivan is a bookish, introspective Czech smartarse with lofty goals. Both characters are queer and have physical disabilities.
Be sure to follow for more updates as the project progresses! Volume 1 Kickstarter to be announced...
I’ll be at Thought Bubble this weekend table B-13 Redshirthall! I will be joined on Saturday by @zombieoctopus cosplaying as Rosemary from Horizon Walkers! Come along at 1PM to meet her and get a little treat 🐇✨
Cecils Vessel Character Sheet ✨
it has to be said i <3 characters who are victims of circumstances they created for themselves. especially when the bed they made for themselves to lie in is so horribly cruel and punishing that it interrogates the idea that anyone can be truly said to "deserve" anything at all.
God I'm a sucker for characters who are so utterly loyal to someone that they're completely unhinged. Characters who have no moral compass except their overwhelming devotion to whoever they've chosen to listen to. That's the good shit
Writers should NOT feel guilty about:
- Skipping a day of writing.
- Not having a perfect first draft.
- Partaking in sinister, arcane rituals for inspiration.
- Working at their own pace.
- Enlisting demons and/or helpful spirits to aid them with editing.
you should feel guilty if you use chatgpt though
As it's been Patreon exclusive for a little bit now, happy to publicly share that AHollowHymn is kindly providing the design for the in-world pin worn to identify the members of Aristocratic Congregation of the Eternal, which will be included as a physical item in the KS bundle for Volume 1!
I absolutely adore enamel pins and creating one people who enjoy Crooked Smiles and its atmosphere can wear to feel part of the world...? I couldn't resist!!
Swordcrossed by Freya Marske is an enemies-to-lovers romance that's both cozy and a scorching hot bodyguard fantasy. Think sexy fencing lessons, corporate espionage, and secret identities.
