Estro Junkies ✨ Scintillae s02e02

We discuss Estro Junkies, the novelisation of the serial "Ranked Competitive Breast growth" by Beth Leigh-Ann and Talia Bhatt [https://substack.com/profile/187779396-talia-bhatt]. Ranked Competitive Breast Growth follows the lives of competitors in the hottest new e-Sport in which cisgender men take estrogen in an attempt to grow the biggest breasts for a grand prize of $1 million. Trans women are strictly forbidden due to their biological advantage, but will that stop our heroes Nichole and Katherine from slipping under the radar and hiding the truth from the world and each other? Can a blonde femboy get the desi hunk of his dreams? And can Rupali save the world from the evils of the local Gay Straight Alliance? Estro Junkies takes the characters we all know and love from the serial and puts them through the narrative gauntlet. Higher stakes, new relationships, and most importantly, devastating heart breaks that will make you feel sorry for Magic The Gathering players of all people.Get Estro Junkies at https://taliabhatt.itch.io/estro-junkies [https://taliabhatt.itch.io/estro-junkies]Join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scintillaepod [https://www.patreon.com/scintillaepod]Find us on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ScintillaePod [https://www.youtube.com/@ScintillaePod]Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scintillaepod/ [https://www.instagram.com/scintillaepod/] This is a public episode.

Battle of the Persephones ✨ Scintillae Podcast s02e01
