content I've been consuming

H.E.R.'s 2017 eponymous album
really good, sexy, R&B (highlight songs: Hopes Up, 2, Focus)
Transgender Dysphoria Blues - Against Me!
fast-paced angry punk rock, an album I've had on repeat to get through a very stressful week (highlight songs: True Trans Soul Rebel, FUCKMYLIFE666, Paralytic States)
comics
Exorcism Academy
SEXY DEMONS. SEXY DEMON MAGIC SCHOOL.
Ethan is an exorcist in training, Al is his demon (kidnapped for demon-fighting purposes), they fall in love and get it on.
I nominated this for yuletide and am going to request it because I desperately need more content, and I'm promo-ing it like crazy, because I need people to get into the sexy demons so they can understand how good they are.
fic
Four Letter Word For Intercourse
I spent a week reading this nearly 200k Supernatural au fic where Dean is a mature student at college and Castiel is a phone sex operator and they have like 200k words of phone sex. Is it good? Sort of, but it's so engaging I read the whole thing basically without stopping.
sixthlight's The Old Guard Arranged Marriage AU
Do you want to read a hilarious, sexy and sweet fic set in a loosely historical past where Nicky and Joe get arranged marriage? Yes, because these fics are amazing. Probably best described A Romp. Kind of like if the Princess Bride was about the old guard.
nothing here that is not sacred
demisexual Yusuf has some ~realisations about his feelings for Nicky. emotional! sexy! they have such good conversations!
to be known
KJ Charles' A Society of Gentleman and Band Sinister cross over! Contains a Richard coming out to his family scene that made me EMOTIONAL and a VERY SEXY Dom/Silas + John Raven scene, and just, this whole thing is great, enjoy.
books
Altered Straits by Kevin Martens Wong
Singaporean sci-fi, set both in dystopian 2047 Singapore, and an alternate dimension Singapore in 1947. Yeah, a lot happens in this. Has a central queer romance, which I am enjoying, but is very Tragic (because of the dystopia and brain-eating aliens, and potentially Future Homophobia, unclear). Also So Much is happening a lot of the characters feel very undeveloped but I want to read whatever future stuff Martens Wong writes because the Concepts are great. semi-enjoying
Black Leopard Red Wolf by Marlon James
Cannot tell if I am enjoying this because it is written in a deliberate style that makes it feel like your brain is being turned inside out. I suppose once you win the Booker you can do what you want. Very "fantasy written by a literary writer" as opposed to "fantasy by a fantasy writer". I probably won't read the next two in the trilogy because this book is already too long and makes my head hurt too much. It's very interesting, and I have stretches of really enjoying it, and then long stretches of just thinking "what the fuck is happening".
