I’m Not Ace Myself, So I’m Coming At The Whole Acephobia Thing From An Outsider’s Perspective,

I’m not ace myself, so I’m coming at the whole acephobia thing from an outsider’s perspective, and as such, it’s not my place to speak to the experience of those on the receiving end of it.

However, as a bisexual dude, I can observe that many of the arguments that are employed to establish that ace folks have no place in the queer community are strikingly similar - indeed, at times practically word-for-word identical - to the arguments that were for many years (and in some circles still are) employed to establish that bisexual folks have no place in the queer community.

It’s enough to make a guy suspicious on general principle, you know?

Do you…. Have any trashy romance novel suggestions 👀

Absolutely. I can give you some author recs, if you're down for it? They're really prolific authors and have a range of stuff, so you'll probably find something to your tastes.

Cat Sebastian mostly writes Victorian/Regency romances with queer characters (I particularly rec A Little Light Mischief which is unbearably cute).

Alyssa Cole has a lot of great, diverse romances with POC and queer as the MCs (particular rec for How to Find a Princess, which is about security officer and the princess she's trying to get to claim her title).

Rebekah Weatherspoon is really funny and writes really great characters, and her fairytale retelling series (esp. If the Boot Fits) is one of my favorites.

Yvette Hines is one of the funniest writers I've read, and she has a bear shifter romance series that is so full of bear puns it's amazing.

Sam Burns is also really fun, and mostly writes queer paranormal romances that are really fun and full of relatable characters (I'd rec the Fantastic Fluke series because who doesn't love ghost romance and mysterious plots?)

Alexis Hall is maybe my favorite on this list? They write really, really entertaining "traditional" sorts of Victorian romances (among others) but with queer protagonists. My personal go-to when I'm feeling down is A Lady for a Duke, with a trans woman MC and a childhood friend romance. It's lovely.

Looks like I'm a bit late to be the first one requesting, but I'd love to be next if all goes well! I've had something specific in mind for a while now, actually, and you would be perfect for it - let us know when you've got your commission info sorted, alright?

I want to run a test-comission of a sort, i don’t want to make a list yet because i need to measure time that different kinds of comissions will take.

ok, i will make 1 test comission for a first person who leaves a comission request in the reply to this post. Contact me via notes for details,...

tarot readings

hey so my girlfriend is trying to get some extra cash doing tarot readings, she’s really good at them and I’m not just saying that…. I was the most skeptical person ever about these but there’s just something there and nowadays I’m way more open to spiritual stuff…

if you could support her that would be amazing. she’s been putting so much effort into all of it and only got one sale so far, so genuinely i’d appreciate it so so much!! 

here’s a link to her shop: SimplyAWitch on Etsy

and to her instagram: simplyawitch

nicegoth replied to your photo “Scrapbook #16: Hostiles (Click for full-size image.) Other entries in...”

wow this is so cool

Thank you! Would you believe that this is the first bit of feedback I've ever gotten on any of my scrapbook pieces? (I'll bet you would, actually.)

But honestly, it means more to me to receive it than I can say. So much of my work, and especially this series in particular, is (sometimes literally) built on what has personal significance to me, and so little has ever been said about any of it besides what can be implied by the occasional like, reblog, or follow that I haven't been able to help wondering if the appeal really went beyond myself. Not that I'm saying that I'm not delighted with every note and follower I do get! Quite the contrary - but this is something I've been missing, and I very much appreciate it. And while I'm at it... followers, passersby, everyone; hello! If any of you at anytime have questions for me, or anything of the like, please, don't be shy.

9 Questions Meme

I was tagged by wentworthsbitch.

1.What’s your name?

Jack!

2. What’s your URL?

carletoncolton

3. What’s your blog’s name?

I Know

4. Have a crush?

Uhm, in a way - on my BFF. Although, since my feelings in that direction are wholly platonic, it's probably more like a squish. ( ˘ ³˘) ♡ Casandra ❤

5. What’s your favorite color?

I can't choose, really. But black, red, and gold are always at the top of my list.

6. WRITE SOMETHING IN ALL CAPS:

PLEASE HIRE ME. ANYONE. PLEASE. *hurls an armful of cover letters and résumés into the wind*

7. Got a favorite band/singer?

Mm-hm, and it's Damon Albarn. I don't have to look for something to love in anything he does; it just presents itself all matter-of-factly. Blur, Gorillaz, his solo work, his operas, his film soundtracks... Hell, I even like the murmuring, circuitous way he talks.

8. Favorite number?

17, 27, 9... one of those.

9. Favorite drink?

I've been irrevocably seduced by coffee, I think, over the last few months. *gazes moodily into Star Trek mug*

Tag 10 other people:

Nine times out of ten I'd make my excuses when it comes to tagging, but ... this once, I figure I'll take my chances. So. Ten random followers I've never talked to, and wouldn't mind hearing a little bit about:
