3, 17, and 25 📚🫶🏽
3. What were your top five books of the year?
i’ve read a lot of good ones this year so it’s hard to choose but off the top of my head:
1. biography of x by catherine lacey
2. penance by eliza clark
3. the doll’s alphabet by camilla grudova
4. severance by ling ma
5. the sundial by shirley jackson (all of the books by her that i read this year tbh)
17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?
penance!!!! i had expected it to be good based on recs and reviews but i haven’t read boy parts yet so i didn’t really have a baseline expectation for the author. i also really liked oval by elvia wilk - i hadn’t heard of it before picking it up but it was recommended to me at an indie bookstore back home and jeff vandermeer blurbed it so i ended up going for it hehe
25. What reading goals do you have for next year?
really nothing besides “read enough to avoid falling into the pit of despair.” i’ll be working on my dissertation in the spring and i don’t know what my day-to-day workload will look like so i’ll probably just be picking books up as i go!

I like how sometimes a short story is a poignant reflection of big existential ideas compressed into this tight little diamond and prose and then sometimes it’s like “wouldn’t it be fucked up if some lady gave birth to a stork and then kicked it out and then people stole the stork’s eggs so the stork started trying to kill babies. Wouldn’t that be fucked up”.

I have a new episode of my podcast All Miracles Are Strange. It's about hysterical weeping, Margery Kempe, EM Cioran, and two ceramics work by the artist Carolein Smit (above).
It's also about how I cry a lot.
In this episode, I referenced Tears and Saints by Emil Cioran, The Crying Book by Heather Christie, Cry Baby: Why Our Tears Matter by Benjamin Parry, Interior Castles by Teresa of Avila, the Book of Margery Kempe, Afterlives of the Saints by Colin Dickey, and the essay “Tears and Screaming: Weeping in the Spirituality of Margery Kempe” by Santha Bhattacharji, which appears in the book “Holy Tears: Weeping in the Religious Imagination.” I tried very hard to put in some bits from Margery Kempe by Robert Gluck, but couldn't make it work this time around.
If you would like to support my work or read more of what I do, you can find me on Patreon and Substack. If you want to see my studio work, you can see it on instagram and on my website.
This episode, along with all the others, can be found on both Spotify and Apple Podcasts

✷ Tonk's Art Resources ✷
Hi! No one asked but I wanted to make a big list of art resources I use because I like to try and help people be creative! Not everything I list is free (mostly the books & some PDFs), but I’ll try my best to keep a big portion of it unpaid.
I've also made a carrd with the same links and a set of software links + prices but I'll be updating this with more things I find that I think would be helpful. :)

150 Bullets masterlist
The first new "story" I've written in a while. Welcome!
As the author who inspired this work says in their first chapter:
This, is the list.
It was first put together by a user named Nemure from the now-defunct Lunaescence. I am inspired to try out this challenge for myself. The goal I'm setting is to write anywhere between 100-1000 words per prompt, twice a week until completed, telling the long story of yours and Vash the Stampede's relationship as it grows, wanes, forms, shifts, etc. This will hopefully help me get into a regular writing habit.
Stars by the prompt indicate a chapter already in the works. Check marks indicate completion. Feel free to suggest a scenario, prompt, etc. in the comments. If taken and used, I will put your username in the notes of the chapter!

How can he wage war if he's busy rearranging your insides?
CHEVALIER × READER
imbellis et imbellium
◆ SMUT . rough sex . outdoor sex . dirty sex . blood mention
◆ INSPO . Chaya's As The Moon Rises among others
◆ READ ON AO3 HERE
◆ 615 WORDS
MINORS / AGELESS BLOGS PLEASE DNI
You cite it as a personal favorite:
Some of your books talk of the borders between two bodies. That two bodies physically engaged to the marrows will indeed bleed into one. Love—or love of carnality—melts distinctions with a screaming need to never be apart. An orgasm is a shared heartbeat, if only in that moment. And that is a moment that humans share.
Today those books are wrong. There is no dispute. You decisively end where Chevalier begins.
In a velvety meadow of heather overlooking the Jadean moors.
Embraced by peat, petrichor and the full force of Chevalier's ardor.
You're tangled with him in his cloak from rolling around in the grass like fools.
Chevalier's reason ends where you begin.
Between heady, pleasurable thrashing you bury your burning cheeks in the bell-shaped flowers as the winds snap their necks. As the winds disguise themselves in your cascading gasps. Your heartbeat is a war drum in your ears whenever Chevalier changes angles.
Planked on top of you, he palms your cheeks between his calloused hands and thumbs your eyelids shut, stretching your lashes downward. The last thing you see is everything you mean to him reflected in the frozen sea of his gaze. And the waters smolder.
Your lips, now pressed into a perfect pucker, are his to chew raw. Every tug and scrape and indent is an answer for your clawing hands flaying the human skin from the beast. Somehow more of his clothing covers you than it does him, and his back is wet with blood.
All the while Chevalier's hips break you into the wet earth. You are hollowed to make way for the King. Your walls never stood a chance.
His bites turn into kisses and with tongue and teeth you spar back.
Your hands come back up over his shoulders, and though you can't see a thing, you can feel your fingers track mud and crimson through his hair, over his cheekbones and sharp jaw, down his elegant neck and against his bobbing throat.
Chevalier still won't let you look at him, and you wonder if you shouldn't do the same: hide the beast in you from the only man you'll ever love.
Chevalier finds you and finds you and finds you. The you between your legs that waits like a throne. And he takes you and rewrites you in the name skewered between the attacks and parries of your battered lips.
You know you've surrendered first when he finally releases your eyes.
No.
You breathe in sight and new sensation.
Chevalier strokes your bottom lip with his thumb. Your head fills with war drums again, but they're receding. His hair dances against the bone-white tableau of an empty sky. His eyes appear a beautiful pale-gray in this place between places. His smile, little more than sunlight glancing off a blade, is not that of a king but that of a lover.
You never tire of that laugh as he says: "I'm impressed."
You smile back even as you rub your sore jaw. "Learned from the best."
Your knuckles brush against his and he snatches your hand up to his lips. He stops halfway however, as if changing his mind. And then he brings his head down to rest over your heart.
"...?"
You know he can hear your question without looking at you, but this might be one of those myriad nuisances the King chooses to ignore.
Or so you think until he sighs and grumbles with royal petulance: "I'm merely inspecting my territory."
It's so cute that you can only laugh.
--
And somewhere in a nearby building Prince Keith wonders where his guests fucked off to after lunch.

Summer Writing Tag Game
Tagged by the amazing @sarahlizziewrites earlier in the week, and I’m still playing catch up!!
1) Describe one creative WIP project you're planning to work on over the summer:
I’m still editing (ugh) my way through the Memento Mori books, and now that I’ve finished the first draft of Blood Harmony I’ll consider handing it over to my alpha reader (if it’s not too unhinged in it’s current form!)
I have a couple of WIPs brewing that I’ll maybe start working on, but I might have to save them for later in the year.
2) Recommend a book:
I’ve just finished Orpheus Builds A Girl by Heather Parry. A really good book based on the true story of Carl Tanzler who stole the corpse of his ‘wife’ from her grave, and kept her body in his home for several years.
3) Recommend a fic:
@akiwitch‘s Last Light is an awesome read over on Substack. 10/10
And I’m currently beta reading @surroundedbypearls The Wildfire King book. If they’re still looking for readers, then I recommend signing up! It’s a great read!
4) Recommend music!
I’ve been binging Dead Pony and Larkin Poe recently. I have tickets to go and see Larkin Poe live later in the year which I am looking forward to.
5) Share one piece of advice!
Do what works for you- and remember to practice self-care. Writing is fun, and we do it because we love it. So take a break, drink water, and enjoy your process!
