Doing an #introduction post! 👋

A friend on Bluesky recommended this place; they really missed the easiest layup ever. I’m probably going to lurk here to figure out how best to interact with it, but it seems fun so far.

I’m a writer and artist. Unapologetically bi in a committed throuple. Mostly into fiction, music, and retro games.

I’m a veteran, but nothing has convinced me that the root cause of many of America’s problems are white supremacy than having to work with senior military officers.

I wrote two complete (and one in-progress) sprite comics all set in the same universe that are story-driven, epic fantasies rather than comedy-driven stories.

If you enjoy the SNES RPGs from the Golden Age of Square Enix, then I think you will like my stories. (www.fortunasaga.com)

    Welcome! Any stories regarding military officers that cemented things or just the gradual realization that these are some sick freaks? Military brass Pov is a uniquely perverse one that’s always worth hearing more about.

      I’ll share two things without doxxing myself too much (this is a pen name):

      An IG told me I was an “asshole threatening national security” for being a whistleblower for the Fat Leonard scandal. Look it up, I’m one of the whistleblowers referenced in the “Discounting whistleblower warnings” in the Wikipedia article

      For something specific other than the simmering Christian nationalism in the higher ranks was a case I investigated where two people who sexually assaulted someone had the whole thing swept under the rug by the commanders because they held operationally critical certifications.

      It’s not a moral institution. There are moral people in it , but the leadership rewards and selects a certain type of sociopath

        We have a don’t doxx yourself kinda culture here, so nom de plum is expected. It’s not a rule per se, but keeping things in general mostly anon is just safest for everyone.

        And also getting directly called a threat to national security by an officer is fucking bad ass! waow-based
