yuma, the artist who did the cover for Negative Resist, is open for commissions! please help them get verified on vgen and in return you will get a droolworthy artwork (seriously, yuma is the best to work with, you will be in excellent hands!!) shares appreciated! 💛

a drawing of a guy in a partially open cleanroom bunny suit with disheveled hair and glasses sliding down his face. he is wearing a surgical mask and has an ominous bite mark on his neck. he looks extremely fuckable a chibi drawing of an office worker wearing formal office wear PLUS a witch hat and cape. his pose, fingers next to his glasses, gives the impression that he is a huge nerd with a big ego. also there is a sentient ink blob with an angry face next to him (that is his familiar)

there are a lot of angels in P City!

the universe is governed by the Universal Order, a bureaucracy of angels who abhor "disorder". this is Gabriel. in RTTW! Gabriel is a side character, Mikhail's guardian angel, but in the sequel he gets his own love story~

piggy-backing off of DCS's list! i used my one spoon of the day stitching this email together. if you find it useful, please feel free to use it verbatim, or tinker, re: sending to ur local news!

(might be too wordy, not sure. go with what feels right to u. i mentioned #bskycensorship in this too)
I am reaching out to you regarding a current issue which I believe is worth reporting on: censorship. Censorship is taking the internet by storm. Bills like KOSA and the SCREEN Act, under the guise of protecting children, will only result in increased surveillance and our biometric data in the hands of private companies. Additionally, these laws target members of the LGBT community, whose sheer existence is conflated with pornography. This affects anything that could be considered "inappropriate" for minors, ranging from information on gender affirming healthcare to sex education and birth control. These laws have not even been federally passed yet, and we are seeing corporations lining up to implement age verification (see YouTube rolling out AI age verification). Censorship is also affecting online platforms that distribute games, comics, and books. Steam (Valve) and Itch.iowere pressured by Paypal, Stripe, Mastercard, and Visa to remove adult works, thereby removing artists' and writers' ability to make a living and stifling free speech. I need to make it clear that this is LEGAL content. It is not only affecting media that is adult in nature, but also the horror genre has been targeted. It is a complete overstep in financial service's role in commerce, and is effectively a form of legislation through their policies. There is now an ongoing campaign to pressure these payment processors and credit card companies to reverse their stance on censorship by way of calling, emailing, and writing letters. You can find more information about the campaign on these sites: https://stop-paypros.neocities.org/ and https://yellat.money/ Placeholder image for continued alt text. Also relevant to this story is Bluesky rolling out their new guidelines October 15th, which is punishing to artists and writers. Although on the surface it is marketed as a well-meaning attempt to remove "immoral" works, the fact is, these artworks (not counting AI-generated deepfakes) are a form of artistic expression, and allows for safe exploration and discussion of subjects. Thousands of Bluesky users responded to the initial guidelines proposed, and their suggestions were ignored. (If you'd like to see how the userbase feels about it, you can check out Bluesky's rating in the app store and see how it's plummeted within the last few days. Also see the #bskycensorship tag.) This is a worthwhile story to report on because it affects everyone. People care about their right to free expression. People want to be able to watch a YouTube video without giving Google a face scan. People want to be able to buy what they want without payment processors stepping in and preventing them from doing so. This is a story that will resonate—and hopefully inspire some change. Thank you for your consideration of this topic that has affected me and so many people I know,

coming this december! if you enjoyed the shenanigans of Return to the World! i think you're gonna like this one...
one of those book promo graphics with the arrows pointing to the cover. the cover reads "return to return to the world! a christmas sequel" with the author name (piamo, thats me). It features a background of a christmas tree with baubles and two chibis of the main characters. the one on the left has a mischievous grin and red and green hair, and is holding a tiny green dog in his palm. the one on the right is an angel with blond hair and a halo and robes, and he looks a bit nervous. the tropes pointing to the cover are as follows: kamojis galore demon x angel 68k words fluff with a touch of angst 100x more unhinged than book 1 wacky x boring MxM original cast of returns! the synopsis of my christmas sequel, return to return to the world. at the bottom are the two main characters, gabriel and 112b, same deigns as the previous image, only 112B is handing gabriel a halo looking bashful. the synopsis reads as follows: It’s December again in P— City, and Gabriel CXXXIV is living the life. An ex-Guardian Angel with the Universal Order, he lost his precious halo and its accompanying System to Mikahil Li, and is now crashing in the human world. These days, he lives in an apartment the size of a shoe box, subsisting on grilled cheese sandwiches and pickles. The only light in his life is the scruffy maintenance worker who comes to repair his refrigerator and the fact that maybe, just maybe, he’ll carve out a small, meaningless existence for himself. Wait, sorry, actually Gabriel is depressed as hell. Good thing romance is in store for him this Christmas! System: 【LET’S GO BABEY… DOWNLOADING BL ROMANCE 1%—100%】 Gabriel: "Depressed? That can’t be right. I feel fine…" System: 【NO WORRIES, HOST - THERE’S A LEATHER-WEARING HOTTIE COMING TO INJECT SOME MEANING INTO YOUR HEART. HEAR THAT DOKI-DOKI? THAT’S THE SOUND OF BEIN’ IN LUUUUUUUUURV】 Gabriel: “Very well. At least tell me it’s someone nice and normal.” (It's not.)

i'll defend non-cons right to exist in art with my dying breath, same as incest and whatever else you get off to. fiction is fiction. bsky and paypros dont get to decide what has artistic merit #bskycensorship

read the rest for free here: ppiamo.itch.io/negative-res...
An excerpt from my short story Negative Resist. At the bottom of the page is a doodle of a bird holding the book with a speech bubble next to it saying "i consent!" the excerpt reads as follows: The obscene sucking sounds coming from Esser’s hole were starting to drive him a bit crazy, like something was crawling under his skin, a slow rhythm that made him want to cant his own hips in time with it. He was already hard enough that his own cock was straining against his pants. It hurt like hell. He shrugged his coveralls down. His Alpha pheromones were in overdrive by now. It was demented curiosity that made him want to see how Esser would react to them. React? That turned out to be the understatement of the year. The moment it hit him, Esser gasped for air. He reached back and grabbed Tiernan’s waist with a clawed hand. Ah, yeah. This was classic Omega-speak for fuck me good, please, pretty please, breed me.

A graphic for my novelette Hurt to Kill. The cover art is in the center, and features a toothy neon werewolf with red eyes and drool, and the backdrop is a space nebula. Surrounding the cover art are the following tropes with arrows pointing to it: - werewolves! but they're aliens - neato biology - 14.4k words - forgetting who you are - sorta sexy? - m x m x m - loss of innocence

fight scenes are fun! here's one from my Christmas novella sequel, Return to Return to the World! Coming out in December 🎄🧑‍🎄🎁lovely art by @vienbirec.bsky.social <3
Scythe and sword collided. Black fire and white snow swirled in a conflagration, shattering glass and sending the patrons of the café scrambling for the emergency exit. “System,” Gabriel shouted in the midst of dodging. “Sign into Universal Store.” 【GREETINGS HOST - LOGIN SUCCESSFUL - WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO PURCHASE FROM THE UNIVERSAL STORE?】 “Weapon.” Gabriel’s hand flew out, pressing an icon at random. 【ADDING GLORY AND GUIDANCE GAUNTLET TO CART - WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHECK OUT NOW?】 “Yes,” Gabriel said, folding backwards and just barely avoiding a killing blow. 【TBH GAUNTLETS ARE PRETTY LAME - THIS SWORD THO IS FUCKING FIRE - YOU’LL THANK ME LATER, HOST】 Gabriel: “What—” 【3,000KP DEDUCTED - ITEM PURCHASED - THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING AT THE UNIVERSAL STORE - HAVE A BLESSED DAY】 A sword so huge it might as well have come out of a Finale Phantasy game (not that Gabriel would have known that) materialized in Gabriel’s hand. A black and white drawing of two guys. The one on the left has hair like a christmas tree and bangs veiling his eyes and a mischievous grin. To the right is a guy with long hair and robes and a halo, who looks nervous because the two of them are (gasp) handcuffed together.

apple picking? how bout apple breeding 🍎🍏
Excerpt from my novel A is for Apple: Miles went cross-eyed. An unplaceable, heady scent tickled his nose as Pomeroy leaned in closer. “The dwarf rootstock is actually an apple tree with a very weak root system. These will help the varietal to grow no greater than seven or eight feet tall. Better for limited space, as this property is, I have mentioned, smaller than I’d like.” “You, uh, grow apples?” Like a bloodhound in tracking mode, Miles experimentally sniffed the rootstock. Eugh. Dirt. “Hose is just outside. Fill up this bucket with water while I apply the wax. We’ll need to keep the scions hydrated for a minimum of a week before planting them.” Pomeroy then paused, seeming to process Miles’s question a few seconds late. He cleared his throat and brushed the dirt off his shorts. “I assumed you knew of my work, since you spoke of rumors. I am an apple breeder.”

would you love me if i were a carnivorous worm the size of a horse that spits hallucinogenic acid and fucks good? 🐛

COMING SOON
cover of a book called Excoriate by me, piamo. Surrounded by the usual arrows and tropes, which are listed as follows: hallucinations skin picking gay worm smut dread moby dick prom gone wrong product placement one labubu reference The cover of the book has a sickly yellow-green tint, and features diagrams of dissected worms transposed on top of a painting of a swamp An excerpt from Excoriate: It was the perfect texture. Soft, wet. Invasive. You couldn't deny it felt good. Probably, feeling good was what mattered. Synopsis: In the not-too-distant future, the melting of glaciers introduces a new threat into the world: xenopillars, terrestrial worms the size of horses that use slime and hallucinogenic acid to trap their prey. Harrowing? Not nearly as harrowing as high school. It may be the apocalypse, but eighteen-year-old Hal Nieffer has bigger things to worry about---like bumping up his rank in Valorant and securing a date to prom. It’s only when a freak encounter with a xenopillar at an abandoned convenience store leaves him disfigured that Hal discovers a dangerous method of self-soothing. In a world where getting picked off is the norm, what’s the harm in picking yourself apart? On the left is a diagram of a dissected velvet worm.

my anxiety got the better of me this weekend but i managed to get 2 calls in to senators and 2 more postcards into the mailbox (one to visa and one to mastercard). i plan to call my bank tmrw and inform them i don't want to use my visa debit card anymore and ask what my options are 😤

i was feeling tired today but my need to strip this man helped me overcome. here's 2 postcards (i forgot the stamp had to go in the top right corner of the first one lmao)

special tool you say 👀
Two postcards. The first one addressed to Mastercard: I am writing to complain about your official statement regarding the censorship of legal adult content on Itch.io, Steam, Patreon, and other platforms. Your official statement is misleading. I have read your TOS and take issue with rule 5.12.17. Literature, games, and comics that include fictional content ranging from incest to non-consensual sex are LEGAL, regardless of perceived offensiveness. Photographs and videos of these real-life crimes are illegal. Change your TOS to permit the sale of all LEGAL adult content. Censorship is not something I can take lightly as a US citizen. I will not stop calling/writing letters till this is fixed. Second one addressed to Visa: I am writing to complain about your official statement regarding the censorship of legal adult content on Itch.io, Steam, Patreon, and other platforms. Your official statement is misleading. I have read Visa's Core Rules and take issue with Rule 1.3.3.4. This rule lists the sale of fictional adult content that includes rape and incest alongside actual CSAM, as if the two can be equated. Literature, games, and comics that include this fictional content are LEGAL. Photos and videos of these real-life crimes are ILLEGAL. Change your TOS to permit the sale of all LEGAL adult content. Censorship is not something I can take lightly as a US citizen. Your practices are hurting legitimate businesses and your bottom line. Because this is a time-sensitive issue, I will keep calling until it is resolved.

hope this can be counted towards the next one! she instantly fed me the script the moment i gave my visa info, so i won't be doing that again. i'll use different phone number next time. i managed to drag out the amount of time by having her repeat the script really slowly while i "wrote it down" lol

this email will no doubt go unanswered like all the other ones i've sent. time for more calls/letter writing #savespeech
I am writing once again to complain about Visa's official statement. “As a global company, we follow the laws and regulations everywhere we do business. While we explicitly prohibit illegal activity on our network, we are equally committed to protecting legal commerce. If a transaction is legal, our policy is to process the transaction. We do not make moral judgments on legal purchases made by consumers. Visa does not moderate content sold by merchants, nor we do have visibility into the specific goods or services sold when we process a transaction. When a legally operating merchant faces an elevated risk of illegal activity, we require enhanced safeguards for the banks supporting those merchants.” Visa's statement is intentionally misleading. I have read Visa's Core Rules and take issue with Rule 1.3.3.4, which gives Visa the right to cease doing business with members if they are a perceived "integrity risk." Your rules lists the sale of fictional adult content that includes rape and incest alongside actual CSAM, as if the two can be equated. Literature, games, and comics that include this fictional content is LEGAL. Photographs and videos of these real-life things are ILLEGAL. If Visa truly does not morally police its customers, Visa must change its TOS to permit the sale of ALL LEGAL ADULT CONTENT. If Visa is blocked from doing so from banking partners, Visa must be transparent about which banking partners are to blame for this egregious overstep in financial services' role in commerce. Censorship is not something I can take lightly as a US citizen. Visa's practices are hurting legitimate businesses, and frankly, is damaging Visa's brand, which isn't great for your bottom line. Because this is a time-sensitive issue that is jeopardizing the livelihoods of many artists, writers, and game developers, I will continue calling until I receive a response.
