It’s pretty suspect that I’ll spend the day and night at a friend’s, no acid reflux. The moment I am near my mother, BOOM acid.

Some 15 year old story idea that I never gave up on for some reason. (My response to the fact I think there should be more xenofiction books for adult audiences.) #sludgepit #WIP #H #xenofiction
SLUDGEPIT A novella about my old edgy DeviantART OC Xenofiction but make it horror The eerie dead silence of winter MC is a Samoyed dog It's like if Balto or some other dog story was mashed up with Hereditary Questioning if what’s happening is real or not White Demon SLUDGEPIT WHITE DEMON TALKING ANIMAL FICTION X SUPERNATURAL/PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR Shiro has always tried to be the best samoyed that he can be, living in the small Alaskan town of Sycamore. Sure, he might be weaker and much more cowardly than his noble sled-dog sister, but being loyal to his humans is just as important. However, Shiro's life is soon thrown into turmoil when he meets a wildfire of a schipperke named Sage. A dog with a mystic sense of adventure, she convinces him and his friends to go exploring the recently unearthed Devil's Maw, a strange system of caves not too far from where they live. Little do the canines know that their little adventure will release something much darker. Something unholy with a taste for animal blood. RELEASING OCTOBER OF 2026

#Sludgepit LETS GOOOOO! This time I made these in advance and didn’t wait till the last minute to put them together so I made little drawings for them.

Here’s one for Unleashing Belial, the second book in my series.

#WIP #Dystopian #Supernaturalfiction
SLUDGEPIT Lots of secrets abound "Looks like we're gonna have to kill this guy, Steven.” Rebelling against the government The "gay agenda" is making it legal to kiss demons Catching feelings for the ancient deity you worship Multi-POV Unleashing Bellal Bringing Forth Belial Book 2 SLUDGEPIT UNLEASHING BELIAL SUPERNATURAL X DYSTOPIAN Being nearly caught by the Paladins of Exorcism, Alena's new vow to Belial begins to weigh heavily on her shoulders along with her growing feelings towards the demonic king. Her friends are willing to risk it all to forge a coven with her to take on the government, but will she be able to find others that do as well? Is it even possible to dismantle a system as brutal as Lenoria's? After the incident at Alena's house the P.O.E. intern, Vero, struggles to come to terms with the fact that there are demons in the kingdom. They just can't be seen with the naked eye. Haunted by their promise to keep Alena's demonic worship a secret, Vero goes to the only person they can trust: the king of Lenoria, Byron. Thus, the man sends Vero out on a seemingly impossible task, sending their previous monotonous life into turmoil. As both Alena's and Vero's paths cross again, something darker begins to brew under Lenoria's heinous surface. Leading both of them to realize that not everyone around them can be trusted.

I'm really happy because I'm feeling passionate for my Bringing Forth Belial series. My burnout a few months ago was really rough, but I returned to it this month, and completely tackled the chapter I was stuck on from a different angle. I am MUCH more happy with it. ^^ #authorsky #writingcommunity

A'ight kids, it's time for a thread giving you the lowdown on Draft2Digital.

1: They were founded by right-wing Xtians.

2: They donate masses of cash to their church and missions.

3: They view ROMANCE and EROTICA as the same thing, *and* as "dangerous".

Unfortunately they are blocking all erotica from distribution. Very sad to see a champion for indie bookstores take such a restrictive stance on fiction.

My M/M trans man priest x demon romance is now open for Kindle pre-orders! I should emphasize that if you're someone who thinks, “Hey, romances should take advantage of the fact that demons have extremely long, forked tongue and pointed tails”—then, this is the book for you!

‼️ URGENT MUTUAL AID REQUEST ‼️

Please help me move out safely. I'm being kicked out of my current living space. I need to be out by April 1st. The details are in the post. I need a min.of 2000 CAD. Ko-fi link here:

ko-fi.com/themythicbun...

#mutualaid #trans #disabled #helpsky #disabledcrowdfund
Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words in large letters: HELP ME LEAVE MY ABUSIVE HOUSE! aka, my abusive mother is kicking me out. Please. HELP. Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words detailing his request with some words emphasized: I'm making a mutual aid request. I need help. My mother has issued me an eviction notice. I have to leave by April 1st, or she will kick me out with police force. She has threatened to do this a couple times. This time, I know she means it. I will be moving in with @CryptAesthetics, who has been made aware of every step of her abuse since it began. We're aiming to move out by the end of March, and I need assistance raising money to pay for first & last month's rent, plus movers for myself since most of my friends do not drive, but can help pack. Whatever else we make will help me puchase house essentials & mobility assistance, and help pay part of @CryptAesthetics first/last, too. We are looking to raise a minimum of 2000 CAD. 1500 for first/last on my part, 300 for movers, & 200 for a new mattress for myself. If you can help, please donate to my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/themythicbunny or my paypal, linked in the replies of this post. In the following image, I will be detailing the situation as it's unfolded, with the added notion that I do not have steady access to the kitchen, and thus haven't been able to keep or have food steadily since August, and must constantly order food, putting myself in debt to feed myself. I've saved up 200 the last two months by limiting food. Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words detailing his situation, with some words emphasized with different colour: In December 2023, I re-connected with my abusive mother who claimed to have changed and was 'doing better'. After a couple of months, I thought this change was permanent, and she made the offer to move in with her in April 2024, in my childhood home. This was my mistake. I trusted her, and put faith in her, hoping that the change she displayed was permanent. It was not. For the past two years, her treatment towards me has worsened significantly, especially these last several months. It turns out, just because someone doesn't beat you anymore, doesn't mean they've stopped being abusive altogether. She has completely iced me out while removing access to essentials such as access to the bathroom on the same floor my room is (I am disabled. I can't be constantly going up and down stairs. She forces me to do this anyways by locking the door every night), removed toilet paper handles, taken away essentials I helped purchase with my own money, financially abused and harassed me, gaslit me, has weaponized, discriminated, and mocked my mental and physical disabilities, because they 'made her life worse', threatened to keep me hostage in her house until I paid her back money that I owed her, and turned every single one of these situations into her being the victim. Now, she's misgendering me and actively insulting me and my siblings loudly on the phone and to friends, slamming doors, cussing and cursing about me when I'm home, and doing everything she can to scare me. It's working. I'm scared. And I need out.

Also, as someone who regularly will hunt down and watch never heard of before horror movies that were made on shoe-string budgets, the people that flat out say Iron Lung is a "bad movie" are objectively wrong. I HAVE SEEN THE WORST OF THE WORST when it comes to horror. LMAO
