To investigate a “false” distress signal, Gen Ishii is sent to the deep space research outpost of the eccentric, charismatic Dr. Isengrim. Gen’s growing fondness of Isengrim is tested against his loyalty to lawful order as he uncovers illegal experiments in UNINTENDED DESIGNS. #BluePit #SF #H #A #Q

Digital art of a large, white-ish tentacle creature a bit like a cuttlefish or a squid. Over the art are the words “Unintended Designs” in all white caps expect for the second “i” which is lower case and blue over the creature. There’s also the smaller words “Theodore Snapdragon” and “@transcendragons”. The creature swims mostly underwater with a little bit of its back peeking above the water. It’s surrounded by fish and lily pads, and distantly under the water are impressions of more plants.

ALIEN x WHAT MOVES THE DEAD An isolated space station. A mysterious scientist. A trio of government inspectors. A “false” distress signal. An omnipresent AI. A zoo of animal test subjects. What could go wrong? No one escapes UNINTENDED DESIGNS in this scifi horror. #BluePit #H #A #Q #SF #LGBT #OV

A background of dramatic blue-purple stars and constellations with a purple caduceus over it and two smaller black upside-down caduceuses to the sides. Over it all are the words:

An Agent’s Guide To
Unintended Designs
A Science Fiction Bio-Horror in Space

Also small text on the bottom reading: Guide made in Canva by Theodore Snapdragon

Another slide with the same dramatic space image on the background. It also features two stylized images of DNA with rats on it. On the slide are the words:

Pitch
Space station inspector Gen Ishii is out of his depth in the isolated research outpost of Dr. Isengrim, an eccentric and charismatic scientist with far too many secrets.

And below, separated by two white snake graphics, are more words:

Described In Five Songs
Protagonist: Tongues (Joywave)
Setting: Disturbia (Rhianna)
Plot: Come A Little Closer (Cage The Elephant)
Climax: Destroya (My Chemical Romance)
Ending: Cosmic Love (Florence and the Machine)

Another slide with the dramatic space image as background, as well as two large white graphics of needles on either side and two graphics of white running mice along the bottom. In the center of the slide are the words “FOR FANS OF” and in the corners of the slides are the words:

Creative queer horror of
INTO THE DROWNING DEEP
by Mira Grant

Suspenseful building horror of
WHAT MOVES THE DEAD
by T Kingfisher

Isolated sci-fi horror of
THE LUMINOUS DEAD
by Caitlyn Starling

Engaging nonhuman characters of
TRANSLATION STATE

With the covers of each of the four mentioned books also featured between the words, with each cover image lined with white so it sticks out

Another slide with the dramatic space image as background, this one with small images of a purple jellyfish and orange squid. It features a detailed art of a white, large, cuttlefish-like creature move through water under lily pads. Next to the art of the aquatic art are the words “original art” over an arrow pointing at that art piece.

The slide also has text reading:

Featuring

- Queernormative setting full of representation
- Moral conflict, ambiguity, snd dilemma
- Tension and eerie, off-details with big payoff

Excerpt

Harken and Tanaka followed as Isengrim gestured them forward, but I lingered a moment. I was reluctant to leave the pleasant warmth and fragrance of this place behind for the paperwork awaiting me. I gave the beautiful hydroponics hub a lingering look, then froze.

I jerked my head to the side, studying the trees as best I could in the gentle lighting. I could have sworn I saw the shadow of someone, someone humanoid, moving through the branches. Something far too large to be a normal animal. When I looked again, though, I saw nothing.

Sometimes you get up at 4am to get yourself a glass of water and find a large beast lurking ominously right outside your bedroom door #dogsky

I’m Theodore Snapdragon, queer writer and artist! I currently have a contemporary romance WIP “Faking A Relationship For Fun And Profit” and a fantasy novel posted to Royal Road “Mage By Blood” I’ve also been thinking of querying my scifi horror “Unintended Designs” more… #QueerWritersChat

Drawing of an orange winged dragon laying out in thick green grass next to a shallow sandy pond with clear waters and a few rocks. Over the drawing are the words “Theodore Snapdragon” and “Transendragons”

Here’s some original art I made for Unintended Designs! I drew it on Procreate. I love drawing creatures, so it’s perfect for me. #BluePitHype #originalart #prpcreateart #artsky

Day 7: Eerie. I should draw more eerie art, it’s so satisfying somehow! #ArtRepostJuly #artchallenge #eerie #artsky #bskyartists #weirddog

Digital art of a black dog standing in thick green plants that partially obscure her face. The dark scene is lit only by her glowing eyes, illuminating her face and the plants in front of her while the rest is cast into shadows.

#ArtRepostJuly #caveart Day 5: Wet Here’s “The Waters Inside”, which is an underrated piece in my biased opinion

Digital art of two figures lit only by the hand they're carrying with ropes on their backs in a cave. One figure is crouched going down the slim entry while the other stands up in the cavern below where the cave opens out, looking at the water at the bottom of the cave. Below them, the cavern with water expands much further past the surface, filling and going past the sides of the art. In the water a huge, purple fish, larger than both human figures combined, glows as it swims in the water with its sharp teeth.

#ArtRepostJuly Oh I like this challenge! For Day 4, Wing I have a lot to choose from, but this is still one of my favorites. I love drawing wings

Digital art of a winged young man standing on the edgy of a cliff, seen from behind. He's looking down at sunlit forests below. He has large black feathered wings, dark hair, and wears a dark blue tunic with leggings. He has a long black tail sticking out of his leather belt, whipping around with another pair of black wings at the end, much smaller than his main wings.

Theo Transcendragons@theodoresnapdragon· Jul 4

Little does he know, we’re swabbing him tonight for genetic testing. Curious to learn all the breeds in him!

Can’t stop thinking about “Unintended Designs”… I should go over my query package so I can query it more. I want to give it the best chance, but I don’t know how to do that.

Didn’t pay enough attention to someone last night, apparently #dogsky

Just get a large, determined, protective dog like him. Slasher breaks into the house? Serial killer tries to get you? Not with him on premises! #dogsky

We watched “Weapons” last night and it was a great movie. Got me thinking, though, the plot could have been averted by any of those families having a dog like Jed. Would have followed the kid and then, well. Ritual magic isn’t possible with a dog on you. Ready he could avert so many horror movies

A bit more art and the schedule for this month! #alloace #alloromanticasexual #asexual #prideart #oceanart #acespectrum #asexualspectrum #procreateart #originalphotography

four stripes of photos stacked on top of each other themed to the colors of the alloromantic asexual flag. The first photo is a close up on the petals of a deep red flower with bits of dark red shades. The next is a photo of vibrant red-pink-orange autumn leaves lit by sunlight. The next is a photo is over the soft white sky at the beginning of sunset over the ocean with a small tower in the wide of it over the sun. The last photo below that is a close up on vibrantly purple flowers.

Digital art showing a bright white sun sends a red sunrise to brighten a dark purple sky. Below the ocean waves reflect the reds and purples of the sky. A small boat watches the sunrise, its shadow laying across the waves. The light red, dark red, purple, and white are taken from the alloromantic asexual flag.

Theo Transcendragons@theodoresnapdragon· Jun 20

#30DaysofPride Day 19: AlloAce! AlloAce, or Alloromantic Asexual, is a term for asexuals who are NOT aromantic. It has a lovely flag, too. BTW happy Juneteenth! I picked days different for flags at pretty much random #alloace #alloromantic #alloromanticasexual #asexual #ace #alloaceflag #prideart

A three by three moodboard, In the center is a flag with four stripes: a dark red stripe at the top, a lighter red stripe below, a white stripe below that, and a dark purple stripe at the bottom. The top row features photogrpahs of red leaves, a close up of red leaves and red leaves lit by sunlight, and a close up of a dark red flower in the middle. The middle row features a close up of a red flower and the white background behind it and white clouds seen from above around the flag. The bottom row features pictures of purple flowers, with close ups of different purple flower petals.

a purplish potion in a funky-shaped glass bottle with a wide bottom and skinny neck sits on a window sill. The bottom is stopped up with a cork and sits on a light red wood table behind a reddish wood window-frame. Outside the window is a white-purplish sky with fluffy clouds. Light pours in through the window, shining against the glass bottle and illuminating sparkles in the potions within. The image is themed to the red, light red/pink, purple, and white of the alloace flag.

Digital art of a purple dragon with a red and white tipped tail and horns. The dragon has red eyes and small red vestigial wings, but a white belly. The dragon stands at a windowsill in an elaborately wallpapered room with a fluffy white sitting cushion behind them. Beyond the window are the pinks, reds, and purples of sunset that light up the room.

Digital art of only the purple dragon with red, white, and pink highlights. The dragon stands upright with vestigial wings.
