when you start a new roll of bin bags and have to put the first bag in right away so you can throw out the paper label. divine auto-cannibalism. subsumption of the self in pursuit of rebirth. quite existential.

New process article up for £5+ patrons: How to Write Fast
It doesn't matter what you're writing. If you write for a purpose beyond amusing yourself, you are going to run into deadlines. And if you try to write for a purpose and amuse yourself at the same time, you are probably also the kind of artist who waits until the last possible second to sneak up on their muse, black bag her, and bundle her into the trunk of a backfiring taxi. I get it, because I'm the same. Necessity is the mother of invention, and when you realise you can't wriggle out of making those two scenes connect or coming up with a satisfactory conclusion, you suddenly tap a kind of secret last-minute ingenuity that feels shit hot.
'Fast' and 'good' are not always at odds with each other. But.

I love seeing taylor's write-ups of his process so much, he is an insanely talented illustrator. even having been the other person in these conversations, reading the thought process that informed his side still teaches me shit.
Shrinking Violet is out! another of @petitemortality R/L Monroe's wonderful erotic shorts, with another cover by yours truly >:) i've been saying it on nearly every promo post i make for this but if you're one of the people who has wanted me to write f/f, you're legally obligated to read this one. below is the sales copy, and then below that some discussion of the process for designing the cover!
Nobody at college knows that shy, nervous Maya had a 'bad boy' reputation in high school - and Maya is the only one who knows tough, rebellious Nasrin used to be a sweet-tempered teacher's pet. Mutual attraction is rekindled when their paths cross again, but the two find their old dynamics have been flipped on their head.
Maya finally knows what she wants, and Nasrin is bold enough to give it to her...that is, if she can bring herself to ask. Will their first time be perfect the second time around?
7k words, EPUB and PDF format.
This is the second in the Fuck Yourself Friday series of shorts. New stand-alone erotic stories are released on the last Friday of every month.

These stories contain explicit sexual content, and are intended for 18+ audiences.
Contains:

-praise kink
-soft penis stimulation
-non-penetrative sex
THUMBNAILS
this one was very straightforward with the request: "the image I have in my mind for a cover is someone's fingers knotted in a skirt spread out against wildflowers. but more in the sort of gripping your own skirt gently kind of way, somewhere between anxious and excited if that makes sense. I'm thinking like you know the classic soft grunge tumblr aesthetic photo vibe. type of shit you'd post next to a closeup of a skinned knee in long socks"
very easy instructions to follow! so while i usually prefer to do 3 thumbnails, i only ended up with 2. there's only so many ways you can depict a hand on a skirt, after all. and we decided that we wanted to continue with the style i established with the first one, with silhouettes, lineless art, and bold textures. we liked the first one more, but wanted to get some leg in there.
i proposed adding black pantyhose to the narrative to make it work on the cover (i have changed prose to match what i drew for illustrations Many times) but we went with bare leg in the end
FINISHING
so i didn't actually do a sketch for this one, just went straight to rendering. as we all know i use gradient maps a lot in my work, so i gave lee a choice between a bright, springy palette, and a wetter, darker palette. i also offered it with the border, or with the skirt going over it. personally i like the skirt going over it, but the border keeps it consistent and more book-cover-y, so we went with that. lee chose the darker palette, which suits the story much better
but the font didn't fit! too vintage for the story, which takes place in modern day.
fonts time :^)
we went with the third option for the contrast. and also added a raindrop to the flower (which got moved to the right petal in the final draft). gently touching petals, wetness, This Is Yuri.
and the final result is as above!
anyway you should all read this story, it's incredibly sweet childhood-best-friends-to-lovers and in itself a love letter to trans femininity. i highly recommend it, and it's only $3!
go and get it!

I don't really go in the lost media and lostwave communities but I'm reading about how they found today a song they've been searching for years (Everyone Knows That aka. EKT) and turns out it originated from an 80s porno. The whole deal is so funny help.

HELPGAZACHILDREN!!!!!
Med @fairuzfan’s blog got terminated by tumblr which is obviously unjust for all the people who rely on them for resources on Palestine, but it now leaves Hussam’s helpgazachildren donation drive without a point of communication, and has deleted all previous information Med had shared about the drive.
Please remember to keep donating to helpgazachildren as Hussam’s hard work getting resources to families in Gaza should not have to be hindered while Med is working on getting their blog back 🤍🇵🇸

Based on past experience:
It is worth emailing tumblr support on her behalf. Politely let them know her blog was deactivated in error, as she didn't break any rules, and ask for it to be reinstated
You will get an auto-response - YOU MUST REPLY TO THE AUTO-RESPONSE. This is what will get your ticket looked at by a real human being (eventually).
If anyone is in contact with her, she should also follow the above two steps so that anyone who goes looking for her case finds a ticket to act on.
If you don't get a response within a few days, reply again to the same email chain reiterating how important this is to you, and that she didn't break any rules.
If you get a response saying support can't do anything unless the user makes a report themselves, tell them that she has made a report but hasn't heard back from staff.
gentle, sustained pushing seems to be the way to get action from support. unfortunately, it may still take weeks (if they do anything at all) because it's a huge website and people generate a lot of support tickets.
citation: this happened to me and a couple of friends. most of us did eventually get our original accounts back, but I also know a couple of people who didn't. it's a crapshoot.
e: she got her blog back fast, so no need to message support, but I'm going to keep this up for reference in case anyone else needs it.
What can we do for Med??? There's gotta be something??
