hahahaha I have no idea. I keep wanting to draw something peacekeeper-centric (...It's Emrys. We all know it's Emrys. Why I would even bother playing coy is a mystery) but I'm also a lazy sack of shit. So. There's that.

Also, I prefer the term Lich. I'm dead, but like...I've got a cool necklace with my soul in it.

I'M ALIVE AND BACK AND I SWEAR I'LL BE POSTING SOON!!!

Brief update on my week plus hiatus, I got bronchitis and like a sinus infection and was basically dead for a week. I swear, generations of my family being the kind of white people that inbreed has genetically fucked most of us. On the bright side, at least I have a shitty immune system and not like....an extra toe or two lazy eyes.
Anyways.
I'm back and I missed you and I love you and I'm gonna post my NaNoWriMo shit on here once I can shit out a cover for it!!!!
AUGH <3

I'm posting this for purely self-motivational reasons.

(Nick is waging a battle between imaginary husbands and I just feel like it goes without saying that the winner is....obvious.

Plus hey, look at Richard. He's fuckin beautiful. )

I set out to draw some covers for super secret and wndrlnd (which I'm probably just gonna scrap anyways because fml) and this happened instead because I'm a serious artist, guys. I do serious artist things.

Changed my icon!!! I figured it should look a little more like me and a little less like Danny (As much as I wish I did. I love him so much.)
The real question is, do I start editing Super Secret, keep messing with this new idea, or finally pick an idea that's really just a thinly veiled vehicle for just smut?
(why am I like this?)

Hey, the greed keeps me motivated so don't ever stop LOL. I appreciate it quite a bit! hahaha (But yes, you should also write. Because ditto) If I wasn't the only damn rep on the phones today I'd have uploaded something. That and now I'm torn between two ideas because Uncanny Valley is a cute idea and all but it has similar elements to an idea of mine from....a while ago...that....ugh....I told myself I was bad at scifi....I shouldn't....but I want to....UGH. Damn you for opening that particular box of pandora's! (I kid. I'm actually quite thankful for your immediate response to the uncanny valley idea...I might actually try my one scifi story because of it. Not sure what I'd do for UV's plot, but I'm marinating on it regardless.)
ANYWAYS.
ANOTHER ONE? My god, you have a type! HAHAHA! What's he look like? You should slide him some digits man! Or in the very least wax poetic to your internet friend about how cute he is. >:) lol

Oh my god he sounds perfect. If you need help I need help LMAO. I'm trying to think of a good pick up line to suggest but all I can think about is how damn nice that car probably is. It's a weakness of mine too LMAO. Is it just me or do black cars just make it sooooo much worse than if it was any other color??? Something about a sleek black car says yum LMAO.

(2/2) All of this is just a long winded way of saying I love you guys from the bottom of my heart and if I don't get to update for a few days I still want you to be able to bug me on
Tumblr (@badbtothebone)
Twitter (@selkieheart)
or Instagram (@selkieheart)

I just didn't want you guys to have a weird opinion of me because I wasn't exactly open about the sort-of-trans/intersex thing from the beginning, but like I said. Other than this post it's not going anywhere either because I don't want people interested just because I'm a jumbled mess of wiring and hormones.
If you're in the Southeast area, please be safe. If you need an evac pal, hit me up. You know where.
I'm so grateful and shit for you nerds. From the ones who comment like once to the psuedo-adopted-mentor, thank you guys.
I mean it.
Now that I'm done being a huge sap, I'm gonna see if I can't squeeze out an update. Thanks for hanging around, guys.

-your local trans/intersex dudebro who might should have mentioned that sooner but I don't wanna lmao. Fight me.
Actually don't. You guys rock too much to fight.

Hey, I just didn't want some yahoo stalking old shit of mine and seeing my ass in a dress and being really confused. I know I am sometimes when I look back LMAO. But thank you~

And look here, those are reasons. Not excuses. I did not come back from an Irma-pocalypse to be scolded, sir. LOL

I'm not sure how many of you guys actually read these, but I wanted to shoot a quick message just in case I go AWOL for a few days with (probably) having to evacuate for hurricane Irma.
I'll post this as an Author's Note on Super Secret as well, but I just wanted to let you guys know that I love and appreciate you guys more than you can imagine.
I honestly never expected to get this far into the story, let alone be prepping myself for edits, but here I am and here we are. It's insane and I am 100% indebted to y'alls support in getting me this far. It's given me a lot of courage and strength to pursue the things that make me happy, and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Writing has always made me happy, but I can't lie and say I've been without my hang-ups. The anonymity of Tapas has helped a lot, and I've gotten a lot more comfortable in my writing skin and my actual skin, if you will. I'm going to offer up all of my most frequented social media venues, but before I did I did sort of want to clear up something. If you lurk far and deep enough into my social media, you might notice I'm not...quite what you may have anticipated. Definitely a lot uglier, for sure. But you gotta really stalk to find an actual photo of me, so peruse at your own risk. I am however Intersex, which is a fancy word for hermaphrodite, and while raised female I'm definitely a dude. It's been a weird journey, but I wanted to make a post about it for transparency's sake in case you find me and get a bit confused(Ha. Trans-parency. I'm funny.) I'm not putting it in any bio I have because I don't want that to be the reason anyone cares about my story or writing. Or me.
I'm a lot more than that with a lot more going on, so I wasn't going to post anything about it in general, but with wanting to stay in contact through the potential storm with you guys, I am completely willing to sacrifice some of that anonymity that has come to help me so much, if that makes any sense. (1/2)
