Tired of waiting for me to post Glory in the Thunder Book Three: Tremble at the Wonder, the nuanced and sophisticated high fantasy romance adventure? Why not read something I wrote with a wildly different tone while recovering from a mental health breakdown in early 2020 instead! A story about a very important question: "Does being trans make you cool enough to attack and dethrone God? (Yes.)"
As people who've been around long enough to have heard all the lore know, I was raised in fundamentalism. You know, the hardcore "the earth is six thousand years old and full of Satan's lies" kind. The "everyone except us is going to Hell to suffer forever and ever and ever and they definitely deserve it" kind. It was antithetical to my heart and soul and yet utter belief was demanded from me from the moment I was able to speak. The end result of this was being diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder after a complete and sudden breakdown in my mid-twenties, which took about five years to even kind of sort of climb out of. And towards the end, when I was starting to feel like I could survive again, I wrote this.
It is violent. It is angry. It is queer. It stars OCs I made up when I was fifteen years old and drowning in a fundamentalist high school. It is vindictive to the point of parody. Did I mention violent? And the Devil is hot.
It has a content warning of yes. I cannot emphasize this enough, whatever you were gonna ask about, yes.
(also, I am okay now! I mean, reasonably, considering.)
