Kai's Cove

Hello! This is a blog for my historical fantasy trilogy work in progress. I post writing excerpts, lore, original art, character sketch info, and reblog aesthetic photography and art, writing memes tagged with character stuff, and archeological, historical, Gaeilge/Irish language and cultural references. Check out the featured tags to find excerpts and stuff organized by character!

The world is first century BCE, Iron Age Ireland. Fey both live together and apart from humans, such as the elusive sidhe (pron. "shee") of the forests and wild places of Inis Fáil (pron. "inish fall"), or the sii at the helm of sprawling Solarii Empire.

Four souls are on a collision course that will split the foundations of their worlds. The unlikely ties between them bend and break everything they thought they knew. Reviving an ancient resonance with the ancestors from the distant dawn of civilization illuminates a path forward for a new future. A better one, when their worlds need it most.

The story explores our links both tenuous and unbreakable to our past and our land. Curiosity and bravery in the face of fear are powerful, double-edged tools. Authenticity to yourself is radical and powerful, and the characters explore what it means to be themselves with either your whole world supporting you, or your whole world ripping you apart to remold into something not-You. Gender and attraction - the architecture of the heart, and what it wants - don't always fit the Solarii binary, but has room to be explored in sidhe culture.

Currently +60k into book 1 of 3. All books are outlined and I'm so pumped to keep writing! I won't be publishing whole chapters of the story online, but I do post excerpts. I'm also open to interested betareaders through BetaBooks.

Message my main blog at @kaiscove or submit asks here! Always ready to infodump on lore and characters so don't be shy ♡

ok this looks like a joke but it's actually serious, if you are prepping for anal sex and you over-clean you are stripping away the natural mucus that lines the rectum and protects it from damage. All you need to do to make sure you're clean enough for sex is make sure to eat a well-balanced diet with a good amount of fiber, evacuate the bowels (i.e. poop) beforehand, MAYBE douche using a SMALL amount of PLAIN WATER in an enema bulb (not repeatedly or excessively), and then wash the outer surrounding area gently with soap and water in the shower. That's it! Don't put soap up your ass, or any kind of "cleanser"! Don't douche 5000 times! And be sure to use a lot of lube especially if you did choose to douche, because it makes you more vulnerable to injury from friction! Stay safe and don't hurt your butthole

and if you're not having sex, nothing needs to go inside there at all! just use mild soap and water on the outside only.

Gut flora is an important ecosystem and wiping it out is why some people end up needing fecal transplants.

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

I am so fucking tired of people looking at a fantasy world and saying "But in medieval Europe...". Fuck you. This game has Polynesian shark-people with firearms and globe-trotting Inuit dwarves. Reincarnation is a verifiable fact, and someone blew up one of their several deities last week. This isn't Europe.

"Rationalism" is up there with "Objectivism" in terms of "definitionally funny things to call your own belief system".

"Yeah man I've been doing some thinking and philosophy and I've come up with a framework called Being Right"

evangelicals being like "god made men to do This and be like This and women to do That and be like That that's just how it is" and it's just a picture of a white man and woman following traditional gender norms makes me so insane like you boring fascist fucks. god made 2 million species of beetles. god made whales, ducks, humans, and 1500 other species capable of same sex behavior. god made fish and amphibians that change sexes. god made more than 30 different intersex variations in human beings. god, in his infinite curiosity. wake up!!! fuck!!

"god wants women to have perfect no-makeup makeup looks and stay at home not talking back and upholding capitalism" god??? that guy who made lizards that shoot blood out of their eyes?? that guy who made salmon do whatever the fuck that is?? are you fucking crazy???

We need to bring back the athletics body type post

This one

Tumblr has 10+ image limit had to add these on too

This photoshoot unlocked something in me the first time I saw it. The idea that EVERY body here is what "peak physical condition" looks like.

Being chronically ill is like

“It’s fine”

“It’s fine”

“It’s fine”

*complete mental breakdown because you can’t do this anymore*

“It’s fine”

she’s right

that’s her. the Task Manager

Orville Peck for the New York Times

Ollie loves to have the bases of his ears massaged with my thumbs and whenever I do it for him his eyes close and pushes so hard into it that he has to brace with his legs to avoid falling over and he purrs, and every time I do it I think about how he can’t do that for himself on his own, and how wonderful and strange it is that our two species happened to evolve in a way that allowed a bread loaf-sized obligate carnivore capable of receiving the most satisfying ear rub imaginable, but only from a giant omnivorous ape

ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC SCENES…

there’s just too much going on lol
