He/they, queer, trans. My favorite genres are fantasy, romance, mystery, and erotica - hopefully all at once :3
I mostly write, doodle, and study game dev. Some projects are at https://augustrosewood.itch.io/ or https://archiveofourown.org/users/Eizwein/

I tend to flit between too many projects, but my current focuses are an erotica story about a trans man who gets a sexy job as maid and a fantasy with an enby mc and trans man love interest.
And recently I made a little interactive fiction game on itch about getting fucked by monsters :3

Even though the Golden Ratio is mathematical beauty, doesn't mean your back needs to be shaped as such. Straighten up!

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

It's Saturday night so let's do a fun one!
With 5 emojis or less (each), how would you summarize your character?
Focus on their personality, their arc, or anything else that is core to them as a character!

Glad people are enjoying this one! Not only did I draw it entirely on the plane, I ALSO drew it entirely with my coat draped over over my head like a tent, using my phone’s flashlight to see the paper (the other passengers were sleeping)

It’s not Larian’s fault but it chaps my ass that because they’re Larian they can have a trailer with a full on orgy in it in the middle of the Game Awards and meanwhile adult content in games everywhere else is getting cracked down on left and right.

A really great thread celebrating indie presses.
2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn:
1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business;
2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.
Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Yeah even with the tiny bit of social media I’ve dipped my toe into so far I’ve already seen it.
It’s extra frustrating because making and seeing the things in this list that are relatable have helped me so much to be more comfortable with myself and deal with dysphoria.

Things I and other transgay creators I’ve noticed have been given shit for drawing/writing/etc (note the infinite moving goalposts)
- alternative top surgery scars (vs the ‘ideal perfect’)
- pre-top surgery men
- petite and/or femme trans men
- extremely cis passing trans men

Now aware but unsurprised people give queer creators shit for drawing trans men with women. Turn on y’alls location, this trans gay just wants to talk.
The wild thing is, that if they bother NOT IGNORING THE TRANSGAY CREATORS (there are tons of us!)… we just get nitpicked to hell too. It’s wild.
