fuck romance, have you ever had a friendship where you both agree that you are the single most important person to each other? one where you feel like you are kindred souls and that you can talk to each other about literally anything because you both just get it? one where there's nothing you can say or do around them that would embarrass you even a little bit? cuz that shit is so much more powerful than romance just trust me dude
#so many people assume that being aromantic means i hate affection but like. no im so passionately affectionate about my friends#you guys simply underestimate how much love and joy my best friend provides for me on a daily basis#aromantic#aspec#asexuality#asexual#aroace#aromanticism

The vampire—for there was no mistaking him for anything else—was tall, dark-haired, and dashingly handsome. Genetics had seen fit to gift him with exceptionally good cheekbones and the complexion of cut marble. […] The cut of his waistcoat was daringly modern, and it gave him a slightly rakish appeal, an effect no means lessened when he smiled, the wry curl of his mouth revealing a gleaming hint of fang.
It was alarmingly attractive.
“Welcome to our little island, Captain Northland. I’m the Viscount, but everyone here calls me Vlad.”
“Vlad,” Nathan echoed, still a little dazed. The vampire gave him a tight-lipped smile, his fangs carefully hidden.
“Yes, a family name, I’m afraid, but I’ve learned to be dead with it.”
Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites by Joy Demorra is a queer, paranormal, gaslamp fantasy romance novel featuring enchanted forests, gothic castles, and just a smidge of industrial coal dust. Join Vlad, Nathan, and Ursula as they navigate a magical world torn asunder war and politics as they work to restore balance to the world and find love along the way.
To read the full synopsis, click here.
Book one is available now in two different versions.
Buy the (high heat) Flirting With Fangs Edition Here.
Buy the (medium heat) Fluff and Fangs Edition Here.
Why are there two versions, and what’s the difference? Glad you asked! Don’t forget to check out the listed content tags (1)(2) and corresponding heat ratings on my website at www.joydemorra.com

Warrior Nun: Avatrice playful puns and banter ๑(◕‿◕)๑
#Warrior Nun#Avatrice#Ava Silva#Sister Beatrice#Listen I love their angsty deep moments too#But this playfulness between Ava and Beatrice#which started quite early#is also so much a part of the connection between them#I like to imagine that after the next Holy War#they get to go back to more of this banter#just another way they fit together#and provide moments of joy for each other

One of the best feelings related to making art is when you inspire someone to make art too, and i've rejoiced that plenty of times, but i think that its really nice that even with writing MLP fanfic i've also inspired others to write too!!
for example, this fic of twilight having a crush on trixie of all people is friggin hilarious
or this one, a short but rly sweet night of Applejack and Rarity anthros being supportive as hell to eachother
Legit. it's nice to know even these weird specific eccentric arts i make like friggin mlp fanfiction also get to inspire others. It makes me feel wonderfull!!!!!
#its nice to have outside proof that im a bit more than just an amateurish writer lmao#and generaly. its nice to see that if nothing else#these endulgences also provide joy for others

can you stop trying to be funny and post unrelated stuff and just reblog the famous posts like you're supposed to
unfortunately I cannot
I did create the “the hellsite answers” tag so it can be blocked if you don’t want to see asks
but there are other blogs that I think only reblog posts (like @worldheritagepostorganization and many others that I can’t think of at the moment) that you’re free to follow if you prefer that
#ngl 2 years ago this would have made me cry lmao but it didn’t so I call that *growth*#no but the cursed asks and color of the sky shit is hellsite-y af and brings me joy#but when I do answers asks I make sure to also reblog a post that same day because yes that is the point of the blog#but I do apologize if it’s annoying and you’re not alone because lots of people do unfollow when I answer asks- as they’re free to do#which you’re absolutely free to and i’ll slow down on the asks but won’t stop because i’ve been answering random asks since the beginning#(like legitimately i’ve done this since I started in 2019)#but I do very much apologize but you’re free to not follow me if it’s not what you like from your legendary post provider#there are many many others out there more worthy than I#ask#the hellsite answers#anonymous#hellsite hall of fame curator’s bullshit

if Getou received the support he needed, I really do think he would have taught alongside Gojo and Utahime. he and Gojo would have been such a nuisance, and I firmly believe they would do couple costumes at least one Halloween. Ketchup and mustard type of duo. The front and back of a horse. Minion and Gru. you KNOW they would have been terrors, and they would have loved every second because it would make their students laugh, at the very least.
#getou suguru#gojo satoru#jjk text post#jjk headcanons#jjk hc#jjk headcanon#i feel really strongly that they would have been supportive in every way they could for the kids#they know how the life can be#every opportunity to provide some humor or joy theyd take it#getou carrying snacks just in case#gojo bringing sweets and gifts#getou being able to relax because gojo has learned the kids arent him and he needs to be careful with them#both gojo and getou being so much more secure in themselves and their objectives#getou secretly helping gojo tear apart sorcerer society and rebuilding it#getogojo#satosugu

Isaiah 61:3 (NIV) -
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of His splendor.

an important question; "how/when does Anderson sleep?"
an important answer;
however and whenever possible
(part 2)
#i contribute#my art#alexander anderson#hellsing#---#this is perfect art#these drawings provide me so much joy#why draw the line at anderson being to tall for beds?#whole world of potential right here#but honestly this is a seriously question#this man runs an orphanage in the day#and hunts monsters at night#and has an obscene amount of books#when is he sleeping?#does he have days off?#he doesn't seem like the type of person to file days off#a doubt he gets sick easily due to his regeneration#wait-#does his regeneration prevent him from getting physically tired?#.....#i don't like that idea#this dudes mentally exhausted and needs a NAP

your art makes me wanna start testosterone
i can't read tone well, so this is either an incredibly touching ask, or an extremely funny one, and in the absence of confirmation: both!
i'm in a chatty mood, so i'll share some thoughts about testosterone and my art.
i liked being on testosterone a lot. i had an IM injection every two weeks (on tuesdays!) and because that's a sizeable dose every 14 days that slowly disperses, it can cause some mood fluctuations (every other friday i would have a crisis about not feeling like the world had a place for me in it) but even those were far more manageable than the ones that would come with my previous and current monthly hormone cycle (every month i spend a solid week thinking the world will never have a place for me in it)
It gave me a patchy little bit of scruff on my chin and a whispy mustache under my nose that still struggles on, despite adversity!
It redistributed my fat a little bit, but that's long since gone back to pre-T shape.
it lowered my voice! that hasn't changed :^)! even if i never go back on t, that won't change. it was the thing i most wanted, and its the one i'm most grateful for. Pre-T, I didn't speak much. I'm getting better and better at talking and getting more and more comfortable communicating with people because of it.
having been off t now for 3 years, i don't pass anymore—not as a cis man, or a cis woman, certainly not as anything approximating straight. if people look at me and see anything, i'd hazard a guess that they see me as A Queer (the noun—for all it's complicated connotations).
i'm not surprised that my art might make somebody want to start testosterone! a lot of my art was made out of the aching grief that came with being kicked off of testosterone, and how neatly that loss of autonomy over my own body knits in with yamato's loss of autonomy over his own.
how my body started doing things i disliked, how i didn't have the support necessary to access the healthcare i needed—how my inability to give myself what i needed made me feel as though i were trapped inside of myself and abandoned (by both myself and the world at large)
when i write comics about yamato as a trans man, i don't take away his testosterone, because that hits a little too close to home for me. for Ninja War Town Reasons, he has plenty of access to all the HRT he could ever need and nobody questions his need for it—instead, i project my own horrors onto the way Danzō defined his identity for him as a child, the way that Kabuto and Obito dehumanize him as an adult in their war efforts, and reduce him to the thing his body holds (the Mokuton). I give him a kneejerk compulsion to dehumanize himself (out of a feeling that he has a duty to his community to do so) and I give him a slow-growing resistance to that impulse (which comes out of a feeling that the people he loves would frown upon seeing him reduce himself like that)
it's dysphoria! it's not gender dysphoria, but it's a loss of self, and a need to reclaim it. it's a war between the hollow shell of a thing he thinks he has to be, and the vibrant and messy person beneath it that he is. it's a desperate need to say "this is who i am—only i can say it"
I enjoyed HRT a lot. it was a really useful tool in helping me feel like my body was my own, that i didn't have to fight it, that we were the same entity. It's not the only tool, but it was a really good one, and one day I hope to use it again.
(as for the being off of it—it's unpleasant, but i'm enduring! being somebody who now doesn't really pass as anything has put me in a weird and interesting position, where I'm constantly having to declare myself to people, because nobody knows what to make of me on any front. they don't know if i'm a man, a woman, nonbinary, nor even what age i am (Augh!!!!) it forces me to be brave and vulnerable more than I'm comfortable with—if I tell somebody I'm a man, there's no way that they will believe I'm cis, but I'm not about to recloset myself—and I don't think I could at this point anyway.)
(there's something fascinating about the position i find myself in, and while i'd leap back on t the moment that an opportunity presented itself to do so, i do feel like i'm experiencing something interesting and important in this weird zone i find myself in)
#yamswers#anonymous#dysphoria discussion#q slur — only because i literally use it in the noun form most associated w/ dehumanization#i love that u asked this on a tuesday. thank u for asking this on a tuesday#happy testosterone tuesday to all who celebrate#i also got top surgery a while ago—which is responsible for about 50% of my average suicidal idealizations vanishing#because my chest was my second biggest site of dysphoria after my voice#it was far less painful than i dared imagine. and far more satisfying. i had an excellent and lucky recovery#my results aren't perfect but oh man. the joy of being able to press my hand (flat) to my chest (flat).#the way that a binder mimics the exact squeeze around my lungs that a panic attack stimulates—#not feeling that when i'm out in public? thank you modern medicine. thank you. oh my god. no more false flag panic attacks#i had to fight my insurance for two years and all the health providers i contacted told me the hoops i was being made to jump through#seemed utterly ridiculous. and it was still gobs of money but i got it. so grateful u cannot even imagine#a lot of people describe their feelings post op as “relief—finally i could see myself”#but i experience...more delight than relief. joy. is joy the absence of pain or the presence of happiness? can i tell the difference?#on my worst days i can lay a hand on my heart. and i can lay a hand on my heart. and i can lay a hand on my heart. and i can lay a hand on

me after attempting to get back into sims and realizing i had a lot more to do than play the game
#hi everyone#I’m going around hugging you all#okay now that we are gathered here today#i will simply acknowledge that i have been gone for a very long time and then also acknowledge that maybe it was for the best#i relied on sims to be my only creative activity even if i tried to write a book at the same time#and also. i prioritized sims over real life responsibilities. that’s just a deadly combination lol#but I recently noticed I just replaced sims with Netflix. with YouTube. with anything that gave me quick dopamine#literally became addicted in a sense. still am but I’ve been cut cold turkey from most everything#I get off work and go. okay I’ve done the dishes and the laundry……..I could read or write or bake….#I try to write and sometimes i get a good hour#then I read for a few hours and then get tired of it#and I made cookies Tuesday so I’m waiting for those to be gone before baking again#I’m just so pitiful that I feel BORED and don’t know what to do#so I said….. okay what if I do sims for an hour.#I downloaded some new cc Tuesday and tried to play yesterday#y’all ……………….. I can’t find the energy anymore to set up elaborate scenes and pose my sims and plan posts#I said wow… this is boring without my intervention and fake story#I said wow…….. all this for what? for tumblr? yes I created cool things and provided joy. but is that inherintly important compared to my#own joy? my own everyday activities I should be doing?#y’all I do not leave the house unless we got out to eat or shop or travel to our parents#.. I have little desire to. I’m trying to find that desire#but my husband is busy with grad school and work and I don’t want to do anything by myself#I’ve found myself in one heck of a slump#I didn’t want to be human for awhile. just had no desires no interests no ambitions#I was slacking off SO HARD at work. I just had no drive to do well#I’m still working on it. I’m still trying to get caught up. I’m still trying to force myself to move every day.#but I am struggling y’all. and I can tell you that sims… sims isn’t helping rn but I want it to so bad. I want to get back into it#I didn’t mean to disappear on everyone. I got married and then life got busy and then I fell into this hole of nothing#I didn’t even WANT to crawl my way out. but my husband has helped a lot. I feel like such a child!!!!#I reached max tags. 🙃 bye love you all. till next time

"Nearby, a collection of the island’s residents, both mundane and supernatural, gathered at the teahouse for lunch under the guise of discussing the floral arrangements for the upcoming May Ball. But the true purpose of their early luncheon was to catch a glimpse of the new Guard Captain, rumored to have pointy ears, sharp fangs, and a fearsome set of claws that could tear a man apart.
For a populace well acquainted with vampires, this was less a point of concern, and secondary to the reports that he was tall, ruggedly handsome—and as far as the frantically churning rumor-mills of the island could yet determine, romantically unattached."

Image ID: A collage comprising 9 images, all overtly pink and floral. The top left depicts 3 pressed flowers, one orange, one red, and one purple, against a pink background. The top middle shows a feminine figure in lacy but inaccurate Victorian attire. The dress is slipping from their shoulder provocatively, and their hat conceals their face. The top right image depicts the outline of a wolf’s head against a pink background.
The left middle image is a picture of a cup of tea surrounded by many different flower cuttings. The center middle image is pink with the words “Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites by Joy Demorra” in ornate font. The middle right picture depicts mini-cupcakes decorated in pink buttercream, topped with whipped cream and strawberries.
The bottom left image depicts a vector image of two feminine figures having tea across a table, set against a pink background. The bottom center image shows a photograph of three feminine figures wearing pretty but inaccurate Victorian attire again. They are seated behind a table laden with cakes, drinking tea. Their faces are a mixture of interest, scorn, and scrutiny. The bottom right image depicts a pressed purple flower set against a pink background.
