The blog of a weirdo author and perpetual pissant. He/They, 294 years old, ambiguously gay villain. Call me Kai. I dual wield sci fi and fantasy, but sci fi is my offhand weapon, with my charisma modifier stacked on top.

You know that scene in John Wick 2 where he (John Wick) gets hit by a car and then he immediately fights the assassin driving that car, Cassian, and then they battle for like sixty minutes on the streets of Rome, shooting over cars, knife fighting, falling down a whole flight of stairs, and then grappling and grabbing each other on the cobblestones, yelling and grunting like a bunch of dudes having good old fashioned fun, and then finally they end up smashing right through a window and coincidentally landing in the assassin hotel "safe area" where they're not allowed to fight anymore...

and then they go and have a drink together?

I thought they should've fucked.

But I added what the scene was lacking, besides the fucking part...

Demons.

This book has:

  • an improbable amount of badass, LGBT, demon summoning assassins (the absolute best of the best being transgender).
  • a scott pilgrim style plot, involving one pansexual demon summoner having to fight all 7 of his exes for the sake of his newest contract.
  • a nonbinary weather controlling demon, trapped on earth. also, one of the exes.
  • a blind smartass with a nasty mouth and nastier eye-related powers.
  • a city on the brink of annihilation, trapped by forces unseen and unheard and unknowable.
  • the most bombastic and ridiculous magic system ever constructed by man.
  • and maybe...just maybe...an angsty gay time loop romance (the best narrative trope) but you didn't hear that from me.

It's dark, it's humorous, it's romantic, it's riddled with absolutely insane fight scenes, and most importantly...

It's unabashedly queer and unrealistic and silly and yearn-y.

And I'd really appreciate if you'd help an indie author out, with a sale or a reblog! Agents and publishers told me that it was too queer for regular audiences...and that the concept was just not very compelling.

They might be right, but it still had to exist. I still had to make it, anyway. You know. You have to make the art that you want to see in the world.

Anyway.

Sorry for the long post...you can check out my website for future releases.

And last thing: Character commission of the MC, our lovably slutty pansexual assassin Sebastián Monterey:

And cheers! Sorry for the long post. Have a good night.

Sae: do you ever worry that I secretly hate you?

Shidou: no

Sae: really? because I'm paranoid about it all the time.

Shidou: well, you shouldn't be because I love you. but also no, I don't think you hate me.

Sae: why not?

Shidou: well, we're married for starters. but I also just got this feeling 🤷‍♂️

idk why but someone's first thought being the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the oldest recorded stories in the world, on a random TikTok video about romance tropes is killing me.
