All Hail King Rhys

Name: Tes Tenebræ

Age: Early-to-Mid 30s(???)

Pronouns: They/Them

Sexuality: Aromantic Asexual

Brief About: Raised by wolves and later disowned by their wolf family. Energetic, loud, and generally Too MuchTM for most of the population to handle. Moves around constantly doing odd jobs to clothe themself and feed them and their two remaining wolf brothers, who they call Torch and Ains. Insanely physically affectionate, warm, and loving, but welcomes you to try to fight them anyway — they can and will bite. Would give their last sandwich to you without a second thought if you're hungry. Much smarter than they act.

Name: Rol [Redacted]

Age: Mid 50s, Potentially Ageless Skeleton

Pronouns: She/Her

Sexuality: Bisexual

Brief About: Bitter old lady who just wants to be left to #girlrot. Wanted for several crimes but was presumed dead decades ago — they were half-right. Refuses to wear her skin, even for guests. Thinks plants are much better than people and twice as useful. Touching her rewards you a free nap in a body bag. Brilliant and powerful sorceress unprepared for engaging freak opponents who eat the pieces when she's not looking.

There are currently THREE FEDERAL BOOK BAN BILLS aiming to ban all TRANS BOOKS from U.S. public schools! HR 2616, HR 8705, HR 7661

June 2026 / Maia Kobabe (a trans author, for three years in a row the most challenged author in the U.S.)

HR 2616 threatens to cut federal funding from public schools if they “teach or advance concepts related to gender ideology,” as defined by an Executive Order signed by Trump in Jan 2025. It would also cut funding from schools unless they require “parental consent before changing a minor's gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name on any school form.” HR 2616 HAS ALREADY PASSED IN THE HOUSE! Please call your Senators to say NO ON HR 2616! 

Page 3: 

HR 8705 threatens to cut federal funding from public schools which teach “discriminatory equity ideology or gender ideology,” as defined by two Executive Orders aimed at suppressing “critical race theory” and trans representation. This bill is named after the late far-right activist Charlie Kirk, “The Charlie Act.” HR 8705 has passed out of committee, but has not yet been introduced in the House. Please call your House Reps to say NO ON HR 8705!

HR 7661 threatens to cut federal funding from public schools which offer material deemed “sexually oriented," treating any LGBTQIA+ identity as sexual content. It specifically forbids “gender dysphoria or transgenderism,” and “lascivious dancing” (drag). This bill, titled “Stop the Sexualization of Children Act,” has 22 co-sponsors and has passed out of committee but has not yet been introduced to the House. Please call your House Reps to say NO ON HR 7661!

“My name is [name] and I’m calling from [city, state, zip code]. I’m asking [Senator] to vote no on HR 2616. I oppose HR 2616 because it would restrict student’s access to books and it would specifically harm trans, nonbinary, and intersex students. Please stand against book bans and protect queer students!”

“My name is [name] and I’m calling from [city, state, zip code]. I’m asking [Rep] to vote no on HR 8705 and HR 7661. I oppose these bills because they would restrict student’s access to books and accurate history, and would especially harm BIPOC, trans, nonbinary, and intersex students. Please stand against book bans and support public education funding!”

Page 6: 

Author Maia Kobabe: If HR 2616, HR 8705, or HR 7661 pass, it would be almost impossible for any public school in the U.S. to offer or teach my books, unless they’re willing to risk their federal funding. Students would be even less likely to learn about trans stories or accurate U.S. history.
