Welcome to Brimstone - I'm clinically insane

Hi! I'm Brimstone, 21, an aspiring author, losing my sanity, I'm a gothic enby, a musician-artist...

AND I just started this Tumblr page out of curiosity and desperation, lowkey. I was worried I wouldn't be getting any readers for my current WIP novel, posted endlessly on Wattpad, Inkitt, and every book site I could find, and so far the only support I got was from my ex (we're besties, it's cool🥲)

_UNPOPULAR OPINION_

Are people tired of reading these days? Because I am... I'M TIRED OF READING THE SAME SMUT-FILLED BOOKS WITH NO ACTUAL PLOT, SAME BASIC WHITE PROTAGONIST, BARELY ANY DIVERSITY AND JUST STRAIGHT UP PORN. Don't get me wrong I LOVE smut but these days it's just amateur shit. No plot, no character development just a bunch of people fucking and fighting.

Honestly it just feels like most people (mainly people obsessing over books that are basically just porn you can read) don't actually wanna READ they just wanna NUT. AND IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME TROPE.

I don't hate it. I love the dedication to flicking the bean or rubbing one out. I'm not saying it's a problem, I just wish that the books these days weren't heavily smut-centered. I don't hate the authors, I just don't understand why that's all people really care about when it comes to romance. What happened to meaningful, reverent, slow-burn-books that made you foam at the mouth when there was smut involved? Not excessive, but just the right amount to make you giggle or teehee. These days, I genuinely feel like there aren't any readers who would be interested in my book.

No, seriously. Who would want to read a Dark Fantasy-Queer romance with a demon-vampire professor, dragons, sirens, chupacabra, or shape-shifting fae? The main protagonist might be an unreliable narrator but she's queer and black, relatable...hell most of the characters are more gay than that one English Teacher with a wife and kids. The main MC is basically the black avatar if there ever was one, lmao.

Idk if that's blasphemous but I'm coining it idc

I really want to attract the right audience, but all I seem to attract are other writers looking for readers😭. Is literature dead, guys? Or is it only alive when it's filled with copious amounts of smut?

I'm not judging, I'm just confused.

I do believe Theodore Nott is all about making love. No matter how good he is in bed, the sex will never compare to being made love to by him. Be it during the summer holidays in Italy, the balcony doors of the little flat opened wide, the sounds of the hustling street coming from the outside, maybe, the street musicians playing some cliché italian songs to the passing tourists. The warm evening breeze carrying the smell of the nearby restaurant, air thick and humid. Your bodies tangled together in an unmade bed, white sheets and all. Theo’s slow, deep and sensual. Sharing breaths and kisses, whispering sweet nothings. Hair messy and dump, tanned skin to tanned skin, hands on each other. He’s not rushing, he’s savoring every second, making love to you for hours and hours, with eventual smoking breaks. Him, bending over the balcony railing, breathing the smoke out, watching the already starry sky. He’d turn around then after a couple of minutes to find you naked in the bed enjoying some peaches or nectarines. “Dio, non svegliarmi, there’s a nymph in my bed”. Then, I believe, you’d both giggle and go back to loving.

Got a new sketchbook lol

O no! My autodale brainrot is back again! Anyways he's just smoking a cigar and looking cool while he smokes. I think on his down time he would just go outside or in his room and just try to relax or smth idk.

Lol, imagine cad bane on the cover of vouge or smth. Idk just a thought

Note: this is my first time ever drawing him. It was the same situation with me struggling to draw the friendly shadow, but I did it! He belongs on the cover of vouge :D
