Pretty much ALL of my characters are queer in some way.
You can find some info here!
Identity is often important, for many ways. From both negative to positive reaction. A lot depends on the world... contemporary offers real-world reaction, while my fantasy stories tend to be worlds that just do not give a damn XD

I'll answer the question first, then do my promo, since I love this question so much :)
One thing I am SO so so proud of is something I started recently. I've finally got something solid to work on for Call of the Void, and that's the pilot script I'm working on for it! (if that link doesn't work for some reason, the tag on my blog is #call of the void pilot!)
For years Call of the Void's been in a perpetual vague planning stage, and it still is honestly! But it's more solid than it's been before, and I want to try and honestly pursue my dream of it being an animated show, and so I'm trying to script write a pilot episode :) As a treat, have a snippet of the end of the first major scene in it <3
Then the most recent part of it I've done :)
okay, NOW we get to the promo! Under the cut, anyway:
GENERAL PROMO
I'm on ArtFight!! Tis my first year this year, so I'm very excited!! I also have an Unvale account!
I also have a poetry series (that I haven't added to recently tbh) called The Trader's Journey, where it's the Trader going through different Worlds, usually inspired by Minecraft screenshots I find!
SOULS OF BLACK PROMO
In a world where no one can die permanently, a cynical traveler, Reaper, meets two outsiders who need a cure for strange magical scars, and agrees to help them. Meanwhile, an ex-cultist, Doc, has notions of the evil his old cult is doing, and aims to stop them as well as save his only friend within it. Both discover new facets of their world that no one has yet to know, ones that shake their understanding of it to its core.
Souls of Black is on AO3!! The chapters up right now are long o_o BUT!! I plan to rewrite them to an extent to adjust small continuity things, and to cut them up and spread them into more chapters!
Souls of Black also has its own dedicated blog: @souls-of-black !! There I post basically anything related to it: art, oneshots, chapter updates, worldbuilding, and more!!!
SoB also has a Pair Ask Game, where characters and their relationships with others are organized for your convenience to choose from!
Souls of Black also has a character ask blog @requests-to-the-abyss
CALL OF THE VOID PROMO
Pessimistic alter of a former child soldier, Ruby Darkshine, works to fight against the recently resurfaced Agents of Chaos, who were presumed defeated for 5 years. By her side is Ryan Gunther, a quippy demiflame who is also hellbent on taking the Agents down. As the unlikely pair delve deeper into schemes of their enemies, both old and new, they’ll discover secrets both about themselves and their world that threaten to push their bonds―between both them and their friends―to their limits.
Call of the Void doesn't have a fullyy coherent form, as it's still being worked on heavily. BUT! I do have oneshot masterposts and LOTSS and lotss of art!! (#call of the void art)
Oneshot Masterpost: Character POV - A masterpost of oneshots for Call of the Void, organized by which character's POV it's in (or the most important one, if there's multiple, which some oneshots have!)
Oneshot Masterpost: Plot Order - This is the oneshot masterpost that's MOST IMPORTANT IF YOU WANNA CONSUME CALL OF THE VOID AS A STORY RIGHT NOW! It has all the same writings as the other masterpost, but here they're ordered in the vague plot progression I have in my head. There, the arcs are named, and have general synopses of what happens in them! Each oneshot also has a short synopsis beside it, plus are highlighted or marked if they contain more disturbing topics or not.
There's also a Pair Ask Game still up for it, where names and duo relationships are listed for your convenience to choose from!
Call of the Void also has a character ask blog @letters-to-the-archives

I sound like a bit of a broken record with this, but I'm going to tell y'all about Thereafter. It is my pride and joy, and now is an excellent time to get into it as book 2: Voidhearts finished up earlier this spring, and you've got a couple of months to get caught up before Souls Of Stone starts releasing later this summer. There's also going to be a recap post for book 2 for those in a bind for time, probably some time in July.

I haven't written in ages but here's a snippet of a chapter I still like
"You think we'll make it?"
"I never think we'll make it."
"You know Will, if there's one thing I've always admired about you it's you relentless optimism." John said, rolling his eyes.
I chuckled dryly. "Really? I thought it was my sense of humour."
John scoffed. "You wish."
We fell silent for a while.
"They say we're winning. Maybe we'll be okay." John said quietly.
"Hmph. They'd tell the last man standing that he was winning if it got him back out there," I said "Besides," I gestured to all the named cards on the table "Could you really call this a victory? Does death stop being considered a loss when you can't count the bodies anymore?"
John stared at me.
"Sorry, that was a bit much," I said.
John scooped up the cards and rifled through them until he found the king and queen of hearts, handing me the king and keeping the queen for himself.
"Since you're so sure we won't make it," he said "You write my name on that and keep it, and I'll do the same for yours. That way if something happens, we'll have them on us. That way we'll be together."
"Alright." I said. I wrote his name on the card and slid it in my breast pocket.
For context this group of soldiers have a tradition of writing each of the names of the fallen members on a card in their deck. John and William have reserved the king and queen of hearts for themselves, respectively, in case they don't make it.
I had to transcribe this by hand because I write on paper like the sickly Victorian child in my head demands so y'all better appreciate it.
@sm-writes-chaos tagging you because you said these two were cute last time so here's more context.

I'm proud of my overall progress with my writing, whether that's my streak of writing and posting a piece of flash fiction every Friday without fail since late 2024 (even being abroad hasn't stopped me, yay), or making some headway on my novel 🎉
I'm also really proud to drop the link to the first chapter of A Healing for the Birds! I finally completed it after being stuck in a rut with it for the longest time, so it gave me a great deal of happiness to say the least. Once I'm done work tomorrow, I hope to get the sails flying on Chapter Two 🎉
A Healing for the Birds (Chapter One) — One Last Dance Before Dawn
Also this month I got more flash fiction done, one of them being posted yesterday!
Under Death's Duvet
Voices From Beyond the Veil
A Note About the Inevitable
The Gathering of Snakes
Reflections
And one last thing: I have started posting on ao3! My flash fiction will go up there every Friday, and also I will eventually be posting some of my older pieces there too [eventually, some of them tie into A Healing for the Birds and as such, they'll appear in and around certain chapters ;) ]

Thanks for the questions! I'm glad I got to join in this time around. ❤️

Did I just release this story yesterday? Oh yes. Am I very very very very proud of it? YES.
Island of the Baboon God is both my newest and oldest story at the same time. It was the story that made me start writing short stories. I would not be here if I hadn't written it. I also wouldn't be here if I hadn't met Jay, who has helped me so so so much.
Come meet Freyjrulf:
A sword and sorcery adventure
... Or uh. If you like the Malevolent podcast... Maybe read this fic of mine with my guy Lazarus in it? I really loved writing it even though I'm not sure I'll continue due to the lack of reaction to its arrival...

*Taglist for Writeblr Live Reminders, yell at me if you want on/off*
Hi hello y'all. I continue to be peebs, and this month I don't even have any writing burnout gumming up the works! Splendid!
My genre is pretty hard to capture, as I end up writing equal amounts Horror and fiction that exists somewhere on the Sci-Fi/Fantasy spectrum, with occasional forays into spookyville for my other speculative fiction as well. Overall, this is a spot of genre overlap that I feel has massive potential in storytelling that a curious author could wring a lot out of. Also it's nice that I don't have to chose between my three speculative fiction faves.
As for favorite authors, oh there's many. I really have to shout out T. Kingfisher for her excellent horror and works blending dark fantasy and horror in some really inventive ways (she also has some pure fantasy works, but I haven't read those,) and Arkady Martine for bringing up the sci fi and horror goodness.

I am having a struggle at the moment, my friends, so here goes:
I'm proudest of being here. There have been a few times in the past where that wasn't a foregone conclusion, but I'm proud I'm still here, despite what the itty bitty shitty committee in my head likes to tell me.
I'm proud that I keep choosing to wake up. I'm proud that I keep choosing to live.
And of course, I'm proud that I keep writing, no matter how long the dry spells might get sometimes.
Promo time?
If you want to get to know my characters from Oathsworn a bit better, I'm posting it as I write it, a chapter at a time, on my Patreon; new chapters go up every Sunday (which means there's a new one tomorrow, and it's one of my favourite chapters)!

Access is only £1 a month and gets you access to everything I write, not just Oathsworn! It also helps an unemployed starving writer keep eating and writing.
If you're still not sure if you're interested, I made the prologue to Oathsworn free to read:

You insist on making me tear up in the beginning there and you get words outside of the tags.
I am also proud you are still here. That you wake up. That you choose to keep going and doing what you love even though it is difficult, and it is. It always kind of is, but I wish you easier times and quieter loathing in your noggin going forward. I know how difficult it is to shut that thing up sometimes but it's worth it.
You're worth it and the world would be less without you in it.

Hmmm well I'm pretty proud of The Flames of Revolution, it's the first original work that I've managed to work consistently on and shared with people, and it's quickly approaching the halfway point!
If anyone's in the Sonic fandom, I'm super proud of my Team Chaotix-centered Father's Day fic (ey it fits the June timeframe too yay)
And I'm proud of some of my OC art too! These are all from Days of Resistance (Peg and Lilliana, Caldren, and Caldren with Madreline)

I’m quite proud of how my writing has gone this year. I hit 60,000 words on Project Time Travel recently , and I’ve made a lot of progress on The Assassin’s Murder, both with writing and worldbuilding.
The link for Project Time Travel is in my pinned, but that’s quite dated. If you want to look into the stories more, follow the tags #project time travel and #the assassin’s murder in my blog and it’ll get you everything!

I'm editing a MASSIVE unfinished fanfic I started ages ago, i'm only done editing/re-writing with chapters 1 and 2 but am quite excited to finish up all the way through 20.
I am also, slowly, trying to work on writing a longer horror novel that can be boiled down to "very messy lesbian gothic Frankenstein with some Arthuriana mixed in, for flavor". The tag for it is here, there isn't much yet but it is Going. The working title is "Unearthed" but that's certainly changing.

I am... so very bad at being proud of myself. I've gotten better over the past couple of years. I spent a long time being taught and internalising that nobody wanted to hear about my silly little writing hobby, and that I wasn't that good anyway, and all the rest of it. I'm trying to break free of all of these sentiments because, after all, I can't know whether I'm rubbish or not if I never show anyone what I've got.
I've been told I should lean into the part of me that wants to write in abstracts and in allegories. The- as I call it- literary fictionness.
So I'll share an extract from a short story I've never shared in full. The first part of this extract, I believe, some of you may have seen before. But not the rest.
Beyond the colourbright hills, there is freefall. The breeze is stiffer still here, closer to a gale. We, the coin-givers, the river-crossers, the sun-bearers, gather like flocking birds. A few lean forward, swaying into the wind, eyes closed as they listen to the call of the void, considering their answer. Many hang back; rather you than me.
The drop is the only thing in this place that can be trusted, I think. The sweet swoop of it sings through my belly, already, though I am lost in the crowd and nowhere near the spot where ground gives way to air. I glance over my shoulder, at the mountains I have walked, somehow smaller from above. I wonder if they would have been a better place to fall: to die: to sink to my knees and let the sharp-edged grass pull me under.
I fear this drop. I fear the fall. I fear its end.
One by one, those close to the edge begin to jump, in twos and threes and some leaning out into nothing all alone. My heart clenches for every single one, and that is how I know that I am alive.
The movement of the crowd presses me closer to the edge.
I am not ready.
I will never be ready.
Both are true and neither makes the other false.
Dry earth crumbles under my toes, spiralling into the darkness. I cannot see far. The end could be anywhere; could be mere metres away instead of miles, and I would not know it.
My breath comes too fast. The air up here is mighty thin.
I fling out my arms for balance, staggering back- someone steps in close at my left, and tucks their shoulder underneath mine. It is bracing, but less so than their wild, terrified smile. My heart, banging at the inside of my ribcage like a prisoner trapped in the brig of a sinking ship, slows. I have never seen this person before in my life but, in this moment, we are kin.
Somebody else puts their hand in the small of my back, not pushing nor pressing. Still, I feel their fear through the sweat-slick press of their palm. Another hand squeezes the nape of my neck. Strong fingers enclose my right hand, so tightly that my bones grind.
I breathe in the air of the void. Tonight, today, on this hopeless cliffside, we are all afraid together.
There is no rush. I could wait here forever, until I am ready.
But I would be waiting, lost in this stomach-dropping moment of wild terror, forever.
The hand leaves my back, the shoulder leaves my ribs, the warm palm leaves my neck, as I step out into the dark. I can still feel the impressions of them, and will carry them wherever I go.
Gravity claims my body, irrevocable and daring. In its arms of Zephyr, I wait for what comes next.
Uh. Now, links, I suppose.
Day 38, my apocalypse longfic in the The Magnus Archives fandom (the only non-original work on this list).
A post about What Was Borrowed, my urban fantasy novel featuring a trans vampire hunter.
Pray Tell, a short fiction piece about a god in the process of falling.
Rendered Mute, a body-horror short.
Far Out- space horror!
Personal Growth, a body-horrorish short about envy.
All The Difference, a softer piece about family and life not turning out like you'd planned.
Desolation, a short fiction piece about... a tragic workplace accident, I guess?
Path of the Will-o'-the-Wisp, a character piece that does what it says on the tin.

I was going to write a more sappy, emotional message here. But, instead, I'm going to say more honest:
Keep fighting, you deserve to live, and I hope you do! :>
Now, I am tired and sick, so let's end out this writeblr live so I can go lay down... ԅ(¯﹃¯ԅ)
First, here's some links from last month's live event:
(all tumblr links)
My (still, I think) most recent piece of writing was posted earlier today about my newest WIP: Valerie, The Humble Witch.
Here's a link to my music sideblog! I mostly post character/story themes I've made.There's links to all of my songs in my intro post, but here's my current favourite.
Here's a link to my monthly update post (June! edition, of course).
And lastly, my character rp side-blog. If you want to ask one of my characters a question, have them do something, or even interact with one of your characters, send an ask over there :3
Lastly, though I don't have a link for it, I started making a ttrpg system! I talk about it more in my June Update post, but it's built on the bones and spirit of a homebrew game me and my friends did several years ago.
It's in its infancy, but I am proud of what I have so far :3
I wish you all good health and better fortunes!
ヾ(•ω•`)o
See you all next month! :D
