This is my final straw. How am I supposed to go on without my bedtime storiesđ
Full stop, I hate how disabled people are ripped off when it comes to buying basic items. Why the fuck is an electric wheelchair $4000, ableds can buy a used car cheaper than that. Ableds get everything catered to them yet Iâm trying to get a new wheelchair and canât afford it. Thatâs my fucking legs. This also applies to things that disabled people want, like I shouldnât have to pay $1000 for an adapted guitar. Youâre ripping one of the poorest population in the world.
There needs to be a cap on how much vendors can charge for equipment rentals and items that are needed or wanted by disabled people but yâall not ready to talk about that.
Ableds, stop monopolizing off disabled people. (Ableds can reblog this - actually itâs encouraged - but donât comment!)
continuing with the reposts of my old art in this new blog 𤥠this one was for uhhh. zuko's hot moisturized glowing umbothered girl summer.
xavier remains my beloved rn tbh his arc is so incredibly funny. guy cheats on his gf. gf is dead. guy helps investigate gfs death. guy gets run over by not dead gf. guy dies for a couple minutes. guy sees ghosts. guy immediately all in upon being told dead gf is actually getting bodysnatched and we gotta save her
"genre-savvy" no i want a genre-unsavvy protagonist. scratch that, i want a genre-deluded protagonist.
i want a protagonist who is convinced until the last possible moment that they're in a lighthearted romcom--despite the proliferation of slasher murders. give me a soccer dad who is just so determined to enjoy family vacation, despite the fact the kids summoned an eldritch deity from the lake. a preteen who is experiencing a coming-of-age saga and annoyed their parents aren't emotionally present (the parents are distracted by a literal zombie apocalypse). endless possibilities
Me @ all the characters in fiction
Every show and film and book I grew up with presented the military as a place where youâd find yourself. The military could be good, could be bad, and all that âgloryâ stuff was clearly nonsense⌠but shared trials made you stronger and forged ride-or-die buddies for life. And hey, itâd pay for college.
Then I joined. It didnât work out. Every day ranged from tedious to toxic, even when we did genuine good. I made one short-term friend in four years.
I still loved those stories, but none of them were ever about the guy who joins up and doesnât find himself and never belongsâso I wrote it.
Poor Manâs Fight is a rockinâ space opera built on shattered dreams, student debt, and space pirates. Lots of space pirates. Itâs funny, itâs sober, and youâll want to hug Tanner Malone even when heâs covered in blood. The real enemies are always capitalism and toxic masculinity.
And then comes the war with the corporations that built this whole dystopia, because the enemy is still capitalism, even for the aliens.
On a brighter note, Tanner does make it out of the military and into college, becoming the Deadliest Unpaid Intern in the Galaxy⌠and the Resident Advisor for a freshman dorm full of chaos goblins.

If youâve made it this far, hopefully youâre looking for where to pick this up. Theyâre all available on ebook and Kindle Unlimited, and everything from Poor Manâs Fight to Last Man Out is also in paperback and audio.
And bonus: theyâre cheap!
The new âthis post could have 10k notesâ thing is so funny because literally any post can have 10k notes if enough people reblog it
