The Kickstarter to fund publishing our next anthology, Wild and Full of Marvels: Queer Fanworks Inspired by Folklore and Fairy Tales, hasn’t reached the funding goal yet! We’re getting closer though – less than $2,500 US to go, and just shy of 85% of the way to our goal. A huge THANK YOU to people who’ve been reading and sharing our posts.

Today, check out teasers from four more of our contributors: Anne Hessel, Elias Strunck, Lyonel Loy, and R. L. Houck. Links to our other previews are at the end of the post!

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!

He unknowingly stops his own bridenappings, thinking that they are assassinaton plots about Mobei-Jun

(Various smaller demon Lords are despairing but also thinking how good of a spouse among demons Shang Qinghua will be!!)

Shang Qinghua killing anyone who is in the path of Mobei-Jun becoming the King of Northern Desert and various demons fanning themselves over how attractive it is to even see that happen haha-

IT TOOK ME SO LONG BUT IT WAS IN MY TO DRAW LIST AND I AM SO GLAD IT IS DONE YAY !!!!

About two hours later I was permanently banned from r/MadeMeSmile for “self-promotion.”

I accepted that different communities have different rules.But then something even stranger happened.Soon afterward, a moderator from r/pics started going through my account. Not just the new post—many of my older painting posts disappeared as well. One after another. Then I was permanently banned there too.

Maybe it was the same moderator. Maybe it wasn’t. I honestly don’t know.

What surprised me wasn’t even the ban itself. It was realizing how much power individual moderators have over what millions of people are allowed to see. One decision can erase years of posts from a community and instantly cut off your ability to participate, even if those posts had been happily sitting there for months or years.I’m not saying moderators shouldn’t have rules. Communities need moderation.But it does make you wonder where the line is between protecting a community and allowing a single interpretation of the rules to completely reshape what people can share.

The funny part?

I wasn’t advertising anything in those posts. I wasn’t posting prices or asking anyone to buy anything. I was simply sharing my original paintings because I enjoy discussing art with strangers from around the world.

Anyway…

Here’s the painting that apparently caused all the trouble. 🎨

Like—it starts with Shang Qinghua becoming so frustrated that he is this close 🤏 to crashing out and cursing tf our of everyone left and right because the minor clans have their heads up their asses, Linguang Jun keeps sending assassins that ends up being killed anyway and the only problem about that is the blood staining his favorite robes, An Ding Peak also keeps adding up to the problem via paperwork that can be comparable to a fucking mountain. Etc etcetc. His breaking his back running the Northern Kingdom and An Ding peak singlehandedly (I stand truth to competent SQH)

And Mobei-Jun notices this, and being the good husband that he is, proposes that Shang Qinghua blow some steam off. Shang Qinghua is a bit hesitant but it's nothing that Mobei Jun's glare couldn't fix.

Shang Qinghua: "Ayiah, my king is so demanding yet so generous! I have no choice but to comply to his husband’s demands now. Come, come, let's go to our bedroom."

Mobei-Jun: "...?"

Mobei-Jun has never seen his human ever take a break. Sleeping for hours upon hours when given the chance or if Mobei Jun forces him? Sure. Sitting on his chair as he ignores the paperwork like it doesn't exist? ...Doesn't really count. So it surprises him greatly when Shang Qinghua drags him to their bedroom to sleep (Knowing his husband, Shang Qinghua as much as he avoids sleeping, he adores it.)

For demons, their way of blowing off some steam is to duel. Yes. Not that surprising, but to duel.

So imagine to his surprise that this duel takes place in their bedroom AND Mobei Jun is the one to receive it. Shang Qinghua basically fucks him seven ways to sunday until Mobei Jun dry orgasms. And Mobei Jun is so baffled and overstimulated and horny that he's crying and pushing his hips back for more even though he knows that there's nothing left for him to give because Shang Qinghua has wrung him dry. But the aftermath ends with Shang Qinghua taking care of Mobei Jun via cleaning him up and massaging him and passing the fuck out on Mobei Jun's chest.

And Mobei Jun keeps staring at the ceiling then at Shang Qinghua.

Shang Qinghua: *Snoring and mumbling something.*

I still love you

So I won't leave you

Guess its up to you if you choose to go
