so today on Ruden talks about books (has never happened before)
Hell Followed With Us is a story about a trans main character fighting for his life in an apocalypse/dystopian world made by a cult with extremist christian views. The boy, Benji, is fighting to escape their hold on him as they have made injected a sickness deep in his body that is supposed to make him into the one and only creature that will allow them to purge the low amounts of humans still alive and gain gods favor + a way into heaven. Benji finds some solace and friends in a group that takes safety in a community center for queers, which all of them happen to be.
I was quite honestly captivated by this story, I spent so much of my few days reading this that I finished it in the midst of a very busy week of people visiting my family. It has honest to god real showings of trans AND autistic mindsets as one of the other main characters is Autistic !!
It genuinely made me really happy as this was one of the only physical books i’ve read with a natural trans character. Also there were twists that I very much wasn’t expecting, which I feel like i kinda should have expected one of them, but i’ve been tired.
People do have more negative opinions sometimes based on viewing the writing negatively, which i’ll leave some reviews from GoodReads down below :]

in almost every other children's book where the main heroine is swept away to a land of whimsy she's shown having a lovely time; braving dangers occasionally, trying to find her way home, sure, but ultimately delighting in the magic around her. meanwhile alice spends her entire time in wonderland like

Book Portals COMING SOON!!
Tumblr media
As my current KS comes to a close, I'm slowly prepping for my next! I have a lot of designs to work on and it's taking longer than planned but I think I'm finally going in the right direction with the overall font and vibe choices. I thought about going more textured (version 1) but given these are probably gonna be more likely 40mm in size than the 65mm I did recently, it just didn't look clear so back to my usual bold lines it is! (Though do let me know if you would like them as bigger wooden pieces with options for pin backs/magnets/as is etc as I want to make sure I'm getting it right 😊)
I hope you enjoy this sneak peak and look forward to the 7 other designs to come 👀 What genres would you like to see in this set? And what sort of designs do you think would be fun to help include the portals? 🤔

My favourite part of the Soup Scene in Harrow the Ninth is that she's essentially reverse-communion-ing God, like, hello Lord, you get to eat my flesh and blood

Want to fanbind? Need davy boards/book boards and low on funds? I have an excellent hack for you:
Repurpose shitty books
"But!!!" You may say, "no book is shitty! All human experiences are worth putting to paper!"
You're right! But, also, Counterpoint:
Tumblr media
I went to my local thrift shop and got these for the low price of $5 for all 10. ("Getting into politics?" The lovely ladies behind the counter asked me. "In a manner of speaking," I replied.)
Once I got home, it was easy to turn them into this, their component parts:
Tumblr media
("Please stop saying you're skinning them," my partner begged. Too late!)
[EDIT TO ADD: Here's a guide! Also on my tumblr. Also - when thrifting, bring a piece of paper folded or cut into the minimum size you need for boards: this way you can make sure you're getting big enough material!]
While these are just book boards, diligent deconstruction can even yield headbands, I'm pretty sure - I'll report back on my next trial run. [EDIT TO ADD: yup, you can!]
I cannot overstate the delight I have in giving these covers new life for binding fanfiction, particularly the queer kind.
Happy binding!
