I did draw it. Though i really can't draw muscle so it's uh, de-muscled pyramid head 😔
also literally don't read the speech bubble i have no idea what i wrote (i am also aware that the unknown just immediates voices it has heard but it's funnier to me when it asks questions 😓)

Deep 'Neath the Mountain the Forge Bellows High
The mountain dwarf hammered the horse shoe, careful to bend the red hot metal to the perfect shape. His hands, calloused beauties, mastered this craft more centuries ago than he had fingers.
The dwarf made a low, grumbling, barrel of a growl into his beard as he squinted at his work. Measuring the arc. Assessing the weight. He could tell to the metal flake how heavy the shoe is, he could spot if there were weak spots in the metal as if it were part of his own heart's riverways.
The smith exhaled a wheeze.
A laugh.
A pleased. Laugh.
"Three down," he muttered as he plunged the shoe into a bucket of thick, syrupy oil.
The dwarf did not mention 'one to go,' as that would call into question the possibility of metal cracking, fire dying -- or stone forbid -- a missed hammer strike.
No.
The dwarf turned to his forge fire and assessed it with the critical eye of a grocer inspecting incoming vegetables. The final had to be perfect. As perfect a horse shoe as its brothers.
This project, his masterpiece, his greatest (dare I say the word) passion, had to incorporate the entirety of his hard-earned skill.
Frowning in satisfaction, the dwarf glanced at a slab marked with white chalk, counting down the days, each line drawn carefully, precisely, of equal length, rigidly as tall as the rest, and no taller than necessary.
There was no flippancy to the marks.
They were all practical. Structured. A workdwarf's calendar. Easy to erase when the month shifted over. Easy to clean. Easy to track. Easy to count.
Except one.
There was one mark in rose quartz hued chalk. Bit taller. Rounded. Rounded!
The dwarf's satisfied frown softened, his lips pursed in reaction, his eyes squinted a bit, not from the smoke, not from the fumes drifting from the oil, not from the sweat beading on his brown, arms, back, chest, not the sweat running down his neck.
"Soon."
It was a word. A spell.
A hope.
The date the mountain dwarf propose to that damn fool centaur he has been dating nigh these twenty years.
"Neigh these twenty years!" the shoesmith laughed, a bellow, ringing sound of rocks tightening under the crushing weight of a shifting tectonic plate.
The mountain dwarf gathered himself, shook his head, his eyebrows knitting together. He would speak only in forge curses, prayers for help from the gods of metal and fire, for the rest of the evening, the next day, day after, as he worked to perfect the final engagement horse shoe.

Tearing, gnashing, rending, screaming freedom
[Image ID: an illustration of a figure on their hands and knees with their head low to the ground. Clawed hands slightly curl at either side of their head. They sit ad the center of a circle of extinguished candles and an upside down wolf skull in front of them with some plants scattered on either side of the bones. They emit light that barely resists the darkness surrounding, and above them is a massive jaw with jagged teeth opened as it emerges from darkness, a dark tongue lolling out. /end ID]

"Queer even challenges 'the Platonic parameters of Being - the borders of life and death.' Queer suggests death over life by focusing on non-procreative sexual behaviors, making it especially suited to a genre that takes sex and death as central thematic concerns."
from "The Monster and the Homosexual," by Harry M. Benshoff in The Dread of Difference: Gender and the Horror Film ed. Barry Keith Grant 2015

EPISODE HIGHLIGHT: ANATOMY OF A MONSTER
Today we're highlighting our 22nd episode of Season 1: "anatomy of a monster"  
it's a collection of trans poetry with monster imagery
you can find it wherever you get your podcasts! (if not, pls let us know!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
https://shows.acast.com/tranthologies/episodes/anatomy-of-a-monster
Image description below the cut
Slide 1: A dark green background. In white lettering, a title reads: "ANATOMY OF A MONSTER.” In the centre of the page, there is the cover art for this episode. It pictures several colourful, queer monsters including but not limited to a werewolf with top surgery scars, mothman with a transgender symbol on his wing, and an androgynous-looking merperson. The cover art has arrows pointing away from it with text coming off them. The text coming off the arrows reads as the following: "1. Trans poetry 2. Queer monster imagery 3. Comment on how society treats us 4. T4t love poem 5. Growing, changing and transitioning together 6. Thanking those who came before us for having the courage to exist.”
Slide 2: A dark green background. There is a design of a piece of paper in the centre of the page. On the paper, text reads: “Monsters, I believe, have always been around, born from whispers on storytellers’ lips.” There are several monsters all over the page: sea creatures, a werewolf, a dragon, some tentacles and some fangs.
Slide 3: A dark green background. Covering most of the page, there is a design of white lined paper. On the paper, an excerpt from the episode reads: “In my dreams, I saw myself. Who I could have become if they hadn’t Stripped me of everything that made me me. If they hadn’t broken me, reshaped my flesh and bones, Forced me into their suffocating mould of normality. Every morning, I awoke and felt wrong. My skin, my shape, my body didn’t feel like mine. And I realised, it never had. And then I realised I did not have to accept this fate. The next time they came to pull out my fangs, I bit down hard and watched their hand bleed. I became the creature of chaos that I was always meant to be. And, for the first time in years, I smiled.”
Slide 4: A dark green background. In the centre of the page, there is a design of white lined paper. On the paper, the credits read: “CREW: Written by Alex Abrahams. Directed by Alex Abrahams. Audio editing by Alex Abrahams. Art by Sylvie Keyes. CAST: Alex Abrahams.” There are bones in the top left corner, a zombie hand in the top right corner, tentacles in the bottom left corner, and fangs in the bottom right corner.

I saw a post a little while ago that mentioned how queer relationships are often prevalent in monster-related literature and media, does anyone know of a post like that? I think it was originally talking about Dracula or something then veered off a little. But also if anyone wants to give their two cents on the topic, go ahead! I find it really fascinating.

Your Siren Boyfriend eventually tricking you into the water after weeks of just chatting to you on the docks. He never sings or tries to convince you to come in. He sits in the water, his arms propping him up on the low dock so you two can talk. His eyes dark as a trench, and you can’t help but worry about all the light on the surface hurting him. Even at night, it’s still brighter than where he’s from.
The night you bring him sunglasses is when he knows you’re going to be his mate. He feigns confusion and asks how to put them on. You giggle and lean forward, setting them on his face. He takes that moment to grab your wrists, yanking you into the salt water. You barely manage to catch a breath before hitting the water, not that it matters because as soon as he kisses you, you suddenly can breathe.
You want to be angry at him, but he looks so happy. He starts clicking and chirping, something he hasn’t done in a few weeks since he realized you can’t understand him. It must be like when you gets excited and revert to your mother tongue.
His shark teeth gently nip at you neck as he tugs at your clothes, encouraging you to slip out of your swimsuit. You know that you shouldn’t. This isn’t right. But you can’t help yourself. The feeling of your Siren slipping inside of you makes you whimper. He pushes you against the shifting sand of the ocean floor, slamming into you roughly. You can’t help the moans and sounds that escape your mouth. Thank God you can breathe under water now because there’s no way you could have contained yourself.
When he’s done, he eases back, burying his face between your trembling legs. His fat tongue encourages you to finish, and you do rather quickly. Once he’s satisfied, his kisses make their way back up to your lips.
“You’ll stay with me, won’t you?”

The vampire laughed herself out of breath, “Wait, wait!” she cried in a failing attempt to calm herself, “I haven’t gotten to the best part!”
She hasn’t gotten to any part. She keeps interrupting her own joke with giggles and mirthful storms.
I love you so much, thought her wife.

I love that the internet is forever and there is record of you shipping incest from teenage mutant ninja turtles. Like you can change your blog name but there it is. 😂 OMG. What a time to be alive. You will really never escape that. You’re not queer like you wanna be so bad (for what reason, who knows) you’re queer like- you’re a fucking deranged freakazoid who likes incest from kids shows. Instead of writing me a really nice fic, maybe just get therapy.
Aaaaaaaaaaand there's a permanent record of you wasting your Halloween writing me this garbage. You can call yourself "radical" for the rest of your life, but you'll never change the fact that you're a sad, Puritanical TERF with literally nothing better to do than harass real people over fictional characters. Animals are people too, but apparently I'm not, yeah?
Tumblr media
Not to mention that you'll be trying to sell yourself as "radical" with this shit literally hanging over you:
Tumblr media
And what the hell made you think I'd ever want to hide who I am? There's no goddamn shame in valuing the lives of real people over fictional characters, whereas there's quite a bit in doing the opposite, because that suggests a really small, wretched life. Sounds like you're doing quite a lot of projecting about who wants to erase what.
I'm a queer freak, loud and proud and unchangeable. You're a sad sack. And there's no reason on earth I'd want to hide either of those things. I don't even need to beg people to think I'm "scawy" (seriously, nobody is scared of radfems and TERFs, we just think you're morons and feel sorry for you), you clearly already think it already if you're so terrified of my words you have to hurt me without even knowing me. I didn't even know your stupid blog existed until you decided to permanently link it to this morning.
Whereas I'm very curious what the hell you were doing stalking my blog to begin with, considering there isn't even a lot here that could be classified as guilty wank material. Are you that lonely with your fellow TERF nazis? Do you need to try to do something awful that you think is righteous to get out of bed in the morning? Do you have a record of trying to hurt three people a day before one of your so-called friends will give you a smidgen of the affection you so desperately need?
Anyway, I'm glad there's a permanent internet record of the way that radfems so heavily intersect with antis. Like, hey, maybe there is a reason you guys overlap so much. Maybe there's a reason you're all going to be jumping at ghosts long after Halloween is over.
Also "freakazoid?" Are you in middle school? I don't even need emojis to try to convince you I'm laughing, because this shit is hilarious enough on its own. Especially if you staple it to your own blog with another incoherent spiel.
Therapists agree with fic writing, but I think you should consult your own, because your life is probably genuinely shitty if it drove you to make this ask. Like, seriously, this came so out of the blue I have to believe you've just had a breakup or something that makes you run around, desperately harassing people like this.
Chances are you're just going to pretend you didn't read this--antis have a way of doing that, and so do morons desperately clinging on to the last word like kids trying to win the "are too" game. But there's still a record for those sweet baby antis out there for the next time they think about jumping into bed with radfems who seem to think that animals matter more with people, and there's going to be a record of your misery.
So, anyway, I'm not going to write you a very nice fic. I'm going to write you a very nasty fic about transmasc turtles in love. Happy Halloween, you poor unfortunatel soul. Unlike you, I’m not hiding shit.
