The volcel police will come for me but I must post

You should read In The Court of the Nameless Queen by Natalie Ironside, it's pretty good. And also maybe The Price on Her Head by Suzanne Clay.

Also Gentle_Breeze just started Sin Eaters with dietsoda on AO3, which is really incredibly fascinating, I find.

"Good rep" is a goofy concept outside of cis-written tradpub novels which fumble basic concepts, Idk. I liked it in The Last Girl Scout where Mags shoots this dude point-blank in the gut for misgendering her and being disobedient, that was pretty funny

EDIT: if "Messy and real" is the criteria, and the "fuck like hell" is not literal because I am silly, I can also thoroughly recommend

The Last Girl Scout by Natalie Ironside (again!)
Little Blue Encyclopedia by Hazel Jane Plante, as well as Any Other City by her
Nevada by Imogen Binnie (I will never ever shut up)
Fluids by May Leitz (goes really hard)
Little Fish by Casey Plett
My Dinner with Andrea by Jen Durbent

A lot of this tradpub, litfic-y stuff can be depressing, it's also invariably about white trans women and at times borders on polemical... but that doesn't make me less of a Maria Griffiths enjoyer, Idk. I have tried to prune that stuff, I think only Little Fish, Andrea and Nevada qualify here. I still think all of these go pretty hard though.

i've been meaning to check her out but i would feel bad if i pirated it and i am very broke! i'll move her up the list whenever i'm better off. same with the price on her head, that sounds sick

also will look into sin eaters

actually that scene reminds me of space dread from that one webcomic. she shoots a guy who tries to curse her with her birth certificate because you can't curse someone with their deadname

Piracy is always morally correct

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you raise a compelling argument

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you end up reading these you can always message me about them cause they're rad comfy-cool

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

i may take you up on that

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

she shoots a guy who tries to curse her with her birth certificate

Based, huge fan. Also Gentle_Breeze might have some other trans stuff iirc!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

here's the comic, and that's fairly representative. lots of pretty good jokes about a bunch of gay aliens/wizards doing pulp adventure stuff

You won't get me, motherfuckers! I will continue to post weird!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Big Maria Griffiths enjoyer here too.

I've listened to or read Nevada at least once every 3 months since discovering it in 2021

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Woah a real-life Nevada enjoyer, awesome!!!!!

I have a routine of going back to Nevada about once or twice a year, since it was given to me about a decade ago. I find I usually have something new or interesting to think about or take away from it :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

messy and real is the impoartant criteria, but a more literal 'fucks like hell' is a nice bonus, so i'm definitely not complaining!

and i will definitely check out these new recs as well!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

idk about trans characters, but this trans authors early works were gay horny gothic horror novels. Absolutely loved them as an edgy teen

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

i might check him out! his stuff seems the wrong type of horny gay horror for me, but that's not to say i couldn't enjoy it!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Verily Bitchie has two good videos on why we don't have more "bad" queer rep, unfortunately they're not specifically trans focused, but the concepts still apply I think.

https://youtu.be/_cR3b2Gblq0 (General queer rep, though it starts focused on trans rep)

https://youtu.be/dQY6iVJlAH0 (Bisexual rep)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

i will check them out! after the james somerton stuff i already have a long list of videos i need to watch (mostly about utena given his TERRIBLE takes on that in a patreon exclusive video that was archived for dunking purposes that i won't get into here, but there are others) in addition to what i had before, but this sounds interesting

I found YouTube links in your comment. Here are links to the same videos on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I want real people and if they want to do bad things well that's fine if that's what the story wants to tell. I also wouldn't mind some real sex between real people too but like how about some actual erotic stuff than just put thing in thing for a change? How about that? Also how about trans top for a change y'know like for people to feel represented..

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

unjustdepths.com

real people who do bad things sometimes, good sex scenes, trans tops. and also trans bottoms. lots of trans people, a wide variety of them.

and sex isn't the big thing, when i say fuck like hell i don't necessarily mean they need to have sex, i just mean they should be messy and real, like you said.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Thank you ^^ Yeah the problem I have with a lot of media is the realism isn't quite there or you get fade to black etc. I just want real people and how real people interact. Doesn't have to be all sex or whatever just be more detailed and open to different pairings being real.. be it messy or not ^^
