Moodboard for my #hotwetqueersummer jam WIP! It's a sci-fi horror novella that touches on mental health, grief, guilt, and codependency.

In the top row there's Star, an ex-mecha pilot, and a man of few words :)

And on the bottom row is Valentine, Star's mecha co-pilot! He's... scary.

Taking a shot in the dark: I am seeking a code to open commissions for writing and art. Any help would be great. I believe I have to get 20 reposts and 100 likes? Wish me luck. 🥺

image is of a black vtuber icon with short brown hair, black sclera, red eyes, and a hoodie that covers the lower portion of the mouth. it is the sona of the account owner. A man stands with a blinding sword in his hands. His eyes are glowing and there is a sun-like crown behind his head. He seems to wear "Roman/Greco" esque clothing. a man sits before an art piece with his head in his hands. he might be crying. text comes from personal project: And here, Aramastus breathes sharply through his nose, clenching his jaw taut, “Is that what you are now? A criminal? I thought your means of murder were for that of God? For the sake of Lua?” He’s on his feet now, just a couple feet shorter than the man before him, “For three months I sat starving in that cell, stacked on top of other bodies, watching them shit themselves to death, falling to cannibalism, crying out for their loved ones because of a King you stand adjacent. I lent my ear to them as because they were left with nothing else but to spill their lives to me. Is that what you are now? One of them? You didn’t kill for love, like many of them had. You did not kill for the sake of your pride… You killed because your king told you to. You blindly obey his word because he promised you a shiny new title.” “Not one title has been offered!” Aramastus shook his head, “That’s not what the grapevines have whispered. Our handsome general to be crowned just champion!” he mimicked, “Skies bless Our proud and just Holy Inquisitor!” “No.” It came more like a comment of confusion rather than a declaration. “Our Great Anuva would have alerted me of such a thing. Again, my love, this is not a title for I.” “No, not for the great and handsome, established general, of course! It would be a fantastic for your anuva’s favorited dog, however.”

COVER REVEAL! If you enjoy queer fantasy, dangerous magic, and estranged friends who act like they went through the world's messiest divorce, Fractured Magic is for you.

Cover art by @littlestpersimmon.bsky.social

A cover illustration with golden text reading "Fractured Magic Volume I." The illustration contains two figures: the figure in the foreground is a pale blond elf in a victorian suit. He carries a lantern aloft. The figure in the foreground looms behind him, looking pensively down. He's a young man with light brown skin and dark curls. At his shoulder is the silhouette of a clock tower.
