Seraph

Thought it's about time I made a post to pin, so: Hi, I'm Seraph (real name Chris) and I post gay stuff, a lot of oversharing about my mental health, poetry and whatever seems amusing to me at the time. Follow me for writing, compassion, humour and raw honesty. See the replies for my content.

I have had the laziest, most procrastinationy day so far and, since I'm working on not getting guilty, it's been pretty great actually... But I do have things to do, so...

I'm highly dubious about all these new middle earth films but Jamie Dornan as Aragorn can get it even more than usual.

Well damn, I got hit with the same sharp chest pains on the left side that sent me to the GP at the start of the summer and got me put back on Sertraline and now I don't know what to do except want to cry because they are fucking terrifying!

Add "for Tax Purposes" to a movie: We workshopped this a bit over lunch. My personal favourites: The Devil Wears Prada for Tax Purposes And, tying into the confusion and uncertainty about exactly to which the title refers: Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (for Tax Purposes).

JKKK Rowling documentary? From the famously impartial BBC? I'd say "no, thank you", but actually,fuck aaaaaaaaall the way off!

College day. Time to get on my bike!

Survived Open Table. Got some applause after announcing I was stepping back. Exhausted. Goodnight.

Set an early alarm so I could work on Open Table stuff before work... fell asleep almost immediately after it went off and woke up naturally in time to get ready for work...

Well, I put the power point together, mostly by reusing last year's, and I know vaguely what I'm gonna talk about, but I didn't manage much more than that tonight. And even then I needed to play some Galactic Racer to feel human - only I had an appalling run full of crashes. Oh well.

Oh yeah, I need to tidy my room at least a bit before I can dry up my little desk and laptop anyway. Self-sabotage or just the usual ADHD ~laziness~ chaos.

Why has it taken me this long to properly discover Haute & Freddy?

I'm getting quite fed up of anxiety right now.

Just witnessed two GWR trains kissing. The folks on the platform applauded. 😂

Just saw a sign that read 'Jesus over every thing', but despite it's graffiti styling and placement, it was clearly AI. The typeface and curved underline were instantly recognisable. Seemed ironic.

They aren't coming. I've been gaslit by my own managers! 😭😤😂

Work is quiet today, but mildly stressful as we're expecting a leadership visit *at an unspecified time*. But after work I'm off to Bristol to see @jackshoulder.bsky.social talk about his new book (and pick up my copy) and I'm very excited!

The Kickstarter has launched! 🎉🎉🎉 You can find my short story, Inside the Devil's Ring, in Constellations of Becoming: Queer Futures & Other Worlds 😁 Back the kickstarter here 👇 www.kickstarter.com/projects/ink...

Paperback due to be released early next week

Anxious in work again, yay! On the plus side, though, homegroup were very supportive of my decision to step back from Open Table a bit and there was even a volunteer to lead in my place next month! Definitely a weight off.

Galactic Racer is even better than I imagined it would be. So exhilarating! And the Roguelite elements makes it much more interesting than just a racing game. It was worth throwing my various work-earned vouchers at. But now I should go to bed...

So, today I made a decision to step back from some stuff for a while because my mental health has not been at its best, and I feel pretty crappy about it, cos they are things I care about and one, at least, will have a question mark over it if I'm not doing up front stuff, but it is what it is. 😢

Ahh, unlucky mate. Turns out trans healthcare is still the scientifically and morally correct thing to do. I assume you'll be apologising now? Not sure why you thought the last 5 years would be different to the nearly 100 before that but ok

Eating my feelings on Sunday night? Couldn't be me... Well, at least I've turned the trip to get snacks into a loungery mental health walk.

Paperback now available! 😁 www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HLVJRPHF

ANNOUNCEMENT My short story, Inside the Devil's Ring, can be found in Constellations of Becoming: Queer Futures and Other Worlds! ⭐✨✨ Follow the Kickstarter here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ink...

Here's some shameless self-promotion 😁 Aside from my own self-published stuff, here's everything I've had stories published in so far (and more to come) If you've read these, please leave a review (and mention your fav stories even if it's not me 😅), and if you haven't read them, links below 👇

It's going to take a while to get used to being in college on Mondays now. It results in me essentially having a Sunday-Monday weekend and then a full week right after which is a bit of a shock to the system! 😅

Been feeling a bit ill all day so it's time for something vaguely resembling an early night for a change. Goodnight, Bsky!

So, I was on stand by to preach this morning and, as it turned out, was needed. Worked on it on and off last night and this morning and gets what I came up with. Seemed to go down well, especially the "Starter for ten" (a little teaser bit near the start of the service).

No cheating. Share the last photo of the sky from your camera roll. Sunset over a meadow a few weeks ago.

I've written 3 sentences of a story I started over a decade ago. But that's all. I don't have more in me right now.

Fuckstopher!

@katycawkwell.bsky.social Thank you for this wonderful experience last night. I'm sorry I didn't stop to tell you in person but I was still, genuinely, under your spell and did not want to (couldn't!) break it until we were well away from the theatre.

Happy release day! 🎉 Droids & Dragons is officially out today! 👇👇👇👇👇
