Jasmine Plaskon (she or he) is a q***r as f**k Black artist, performer, and community events coordinator here in the grungy pits of Seattle. There was once upon a time where Jasmine went to school and got an MFA in poetry from Spalding University but it turns out the student loan debt was not worth realizing she just wants to write fiction. Still, Jasmine cheers the thirty years and all that it ha

s brought him: travelling the country, the world (two countries so far), writing trashy and deep think pieces, tried to run a business, and trying again, trying to run a workshop (and happily failing), finding the real art in his heart, living with a loving husband and dog in a cool ass community.

2024 comes to an end. . .seems we just might too, according to Michael and Lucifer. Both are hoping we can pull it together despite how it's all falling apart.

Michael revels in making Planet Earth break. Lucifer delights in it with him while having a little surprise. . .

A thank you letter from me to you as I put it in my latest newsletter:

THANK YOU. I mean it, thank you. ♥ I really appreciate everybody here for being in my life whether it's just once a month, once a year, or every day. Recently, I started working a new part-time job that is quite lovely but is still work. It takes up most of my energy/spoon count. Resting at home and writing has been deeply therapeutic for me as I advance with my Biblical research while I gather myself again and learn how to rebalance my schedule. I want to continue to do my best as your host for Speak Out, but I also want to show up and support what you're doing as well, and then I'm working to support online communities that I've met in their creative endeavors, all while doing my own. I bemoan my lack of energy and time to do it all at once and worry I'm not there the way I want to be.

But then, you've all reminded me that the key is to just be there in the first place. I've had a lot of you reach out to check on me if I haven't made an event or ask 'where were you, we missed you' and it brings me tears (of joy) to feel the camaderie. I've spent 3 years doing events now and the work I put in towards community building started to burn me out when I wasn't finding a sustainable way to care for myself, first. I'm learning how to re-negotiate my boundaries without being a total hermit who doesn't tell anybody how I'm feeling in worry that it's imposing, especially when none of you make me feel that way for a second.

And now, now with everything going on, I am reminded again the necessity that showing up can be emotional, too. You are my cohorts, my friends, my community. You've given me rides, bought me food, said 'hello.' I remember the work that I'm doing isn't possible without you and I don't know if I'd even have liked staying in Seattle without having met you. So really, when I say thank you, I pour it from the bottom of my heart.

oh god, you guys are still following me, i appreciate that. . .

the lab isn't dead, just tinkering. i've been focused on commissioning more artists for my different stories, doing a lot of writing, and looking for a part-time gig to pay the bills. i've been out of commission for a second but it's not forever - i'm still thinking about fun, different ways to deliver content that's at least (somewhat) unique across the platforms.

hope you've all been well ♥ tell me, what have you been up to? and don't be shy, have my adorable dog to boost the algorithm

It's here. . .

The angels formally known as and like to strike, often and hard, so they're coming at you through a familiar medium you might've heard of before: their TV show !

And, in this episode of their Biblical multiverse, the Oldest Couple in The Universe show us how you can turn a petty conflict into the dramatic reunion it was always meant to be by twisting some words and telling a tale. It'll be wild, it'll be blasphemous, and it certainly will be gay,

But these two promise to entertain you if you'll indulge them for just a few seconds, so come on over and click the , or use this link here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/56079802/chapters/142439518

Thanks for your care and your support as I work on multiple projects ♥ It's a joy to begin bringing these two to life in a way that can be re-imagined!

i'm alive, just thinking about which version of Michael and Lucifer to tackle next 🤫

(it's definitely going to be Supernatural or Angels & Man, whatever my crack brain lands on first)

It's heeeeereee. . .

has launched for takeoff! As of June 17th, 2024, and I agreed to make a separate account so you can get exclusive updates about our events, performers, and more!

Ah, but where does that leave moi?

Well, I've got plans of my own. You're already familiar with some of it: besides hosting this event, I'm an author in the middle of writing a book in real-time, letting you read the first version every step of the way since an epic takes, well, an EPIC amount of time!

So going forward, this is my permanent resting spot for all the author work I do!

IF YOU WANT TO UNFOLLOW ME BECAUSE YOU DO NOT WANT 18+ CONTENT ABOUT GAY ANGELS, DO IT. I totally understand if some of you followed more for the Speak Out Seattle content and I don't want to take away from that. But, I'd love to start sharing all the amazing things me and my friends are doing to bring this story to life ♥.

Stay tuned. . . and check us out on Instagram , we'll be waiting!

"Dialogues With the Devil" gets its revenge through the hands of Michael and Lucifer Prime. They know they've been giving us a runaround so THIS time, they'll just introduce themselves the old fashioned way: 'with a little tale.'

It’s revenge of Michael and Lucifer Prime as they interrupt themselves once again to properly introduce themselves once and for all despite their mean multiverse game.

Hello, everybody!

All good things come in 3's and I'd like to let you know Chapter 3 is now LIVE to read on my A03 and WattPad! We're starting to get freaky with religion here so let's see how the introduction of some new characters spices up the court.

Happy belated Valentine’s Day! Let’s celebrate with some ho******ic romping with our two favorite angels with a new chapter release!

The year is two thousand and twenty four (2024). God told me, the author, to "pull a Dante Alighieri" by taking a trip through time and space to explore how our modern religious system came to be, all while making it ridiculous, gay, and h***y. Now, in order to do this, God has tasked me to do some betting in His fancy casino up in Heaven....

. . .and then, there was a war in Heaven. Deep from the purview of the Throne, I heard a great angel's voice say:

"Welcome to the End of the World, mortal! I'll be your Heavenly Host, Michael.

Yes, you've heard of me, I know you have. But how well do you know me? It seems my dear Lucifer gets to tell the story, most of the time, but I thought I'd have some fun and tell one myself. Unsurprisingly, it's going to be about me, because duh. But don't think just because I'm an angel that I don't get into some trouble myself - quite the opposite: all I'm about to tell you is exactly how much trouble I've caused all these eons.

To keep you entertained, I'll be telling the tale in the format of the multiverse like Rick and Morty, in the form of an epic tale like the Illiad, in the style of political scheming like Game of Thrones, mixed up with all the absurdism and macabeness of American Psycho.

Well, I can't say more before I spoil it! You'll just have to follow early drops on https://aliveafterparadise.com . Or, perhcance if you're free, you can watch my Lucifer read how we met live on Thursday, Jaunary 25th at 5 PM PST here: https://www.exhibitb312.com/?pgid=kxgwnr1s1-41b0842d-7c46-4301-ba7f-46643cc22936

It's 1/1 and Saint Michael would like to wish you a Merry New Year!

We collectively agree 2023 was bu****it, so we're planning on ringing in 2024 with a rancorous 'f**k you' right back! Come witness the divine magic of Michael's chosen angels to perform at Solo Bar on Thursday, January 11th! Show starts at 7:30PM but doors are open as early as 5, so come grab a drink and hear some fun s**t in the name of our favorite angel!

Oh, and ppsssst. . .

As your resident weirdo helping put these events on and just trying to live, I could use a little support! And, it's my 30th birthday, so all I really want is a little financial stability! Things have been tight since my layoff in June so I'm trying to raise $1,000 to float me from now until my job resumes on the 19th. Thank you so much! ♥

Welcome back! This is the second part of a spinoff (within a developing story), where the great Archangel Michael and the fallen Lucifer talk! (And maybe, just a little bit more than that.)

We interrupt the Hivemind . . . with a Hivemind! Here come new contestants, Lucifer and Michael “Prime,” also in on playing ‘God’.

We interrupt the Hivemind . . . with a Hivemind! Here come new contestants, Lucifer and Michael “Prime,” also in on playing ‘God’.
