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
The VOLCEL POLICE are on the scene! PLEASE KEEP YOUR VITAL ESSENCES TO YOURSELVES AT ALL TIMES.

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 :)

Piracy is always morally correct
you raise a compelling argument
If you end up reading these you can always message me about them cause they’re rad
i may take you up on that
Based, huge fan. Also Gentle_Breeze might have some other trans stuff iirc!
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!
Big Maria Griffiths enjoyer here too.
I’ve listened to or read Nevada at least once every 3 months since discovering it in 2021
Woah a real-life Nevada enjoyer, awesome!!!

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!
