For Peryl, not being able to accept all of her (which includes how close she is with family & friends)
For Mez, manipulation/abuse of any kind
For Athy, the relationship period (she's aroace af)
For Hesper, cheating (already dealt with that once before)

Peryl will own up to the mistake (but might not learn from it.) Depending on how bad it is, she might also spiral
Mezrah will own up to it & learn. Only time she'll be riddled with guilt is if it negatively impacts her loved ones. If it's a stranger, she doesn't care lol

The Padme meme where she's confident and smiling in the first shot and then not so confident or smiley in the second shot. Padme is labeled as my OC, Aglaya. First show is labeled, "Y'all don't celebrate 4/20. right?" The second shot is labeled, "...Right?"
Snoop Dogg labeled as my OC, Hesper, sitting at a table and smoking
Snoop Dogg labeled as my OC, Hendric, holding two large bags of what he's about to smoke
Snoop Dogg labeled as my OC, Bellinor, sitting on a couch, surrounded by smoke that came from the gigantic blvnt he's smoking
Made a lil meme in honor of today✨ Just a fun fact about these characters that didn't make it into the first book 😂 #MadeofScalesandStone #bvm #author
This is a New Adult (18+) story, following a plotline that connects many Greek figures & myths. I'll reveal which major character represents who at the end of the book, so have fun guessing! This story can also be understood if you know nothing about Greek mythology. It's meant for everyone ;)
My Black queer reimagining of Greek mythology, Made of Scales & Stone, can now be found on 3 sites! New chapters will be posted every Friday & Saturday #author #bvm #lgtbqia 🌈📚

Greek mythology is already filled with queer figures. All I did was make them more queer 😏 📚🌈 #bvm #author #lgbtqia #queer #greekmythology #MadeofScalesandStone

Black woman looking proud as she watches on with the caption, "When you write Hermes as a hyperactive troll, who often shares a braincell with the MC"
Quotes from my Hermes character. First one is: "So, tell me again why we're taking the bus home?" Followed by: "We could fly or teleport outta here, but you wanna use public transportation." He spit that last part out with as much disgust as he could muster.
Another snippet, describing my Hermes character: Her 22-year-old brother never outgrew the jitters; he still couldn't sit still to save his life. Of all her family members, his powers probably fit him the most. Being able to fly made it easier for his constant zoomies and raging ADHD.
My version of Hermes is introduced in chap 4✨ Links to the story are in my pinned post. #bvm #author #greekmythology #NewAdult #fantasybooks #NA #hermes #MadeofScalesandStone #lgbtqia 📚🌈

Hi! Is it possible to still be included? 👀
Peryl has no fear (she has this name for a reason 😂) so an adventure is anything that gives her a thrill...which is usually something stupid & dangerous lol.
Mezrah's idea of an adventure is anything in the bedroom tbh

Megan thee Stallion dressed in pink, holding up a fan and looking confident af captioned with "Me after writing Perseus as an unserious alt masc lesbian with piercings"
Photo of part of a woman's with facial piercings and a snippet from my story that reads: He scrunched up his face when she took out the barbell from her tongue and held it toward him. “Really? That’s the only one you’re taking out?” “Hey, if I get my ass beat and my piercings torn out, all that’s finna do is give me badass scars like Hesper.” She put her tongue barbell in Hendric’s pocket, disgusting him
If anyone's interested in meeting my genderbent Perseus, here's a snippet from chapter 4! Gotta love the unserious ones 😌 #bvm #greekmythology #wlw #sapphic #lgbt #author #fantasy
Her face flushed. She was so pathetic when it came to women; they always had her in a chokehold. And when it came to women as beautiful as the Gorgon, there was no keeping her mind straight.

Woman smiling and biting her finger with the caption, "It's still Sapphic Visibility Day, so ofc I gotta post more sapphic shit"
“You’re doing too much…” “This is how I normally act. I think you’re doing too much.” Mezrah brought her face closer, grinning while Peryl inhaled sharply, skin completely flushed. “You’re freaking out, and we haven’t even done anything.” “You’re literally hugging me with your fuckin’ thighs,” she sputtered, unraveling. “This counts as doing sum’n. Get off me.” “But you’re enjoying it.”
Including an important announcement followed by a snippet from an unreleased chapter 😌 #sapphic #bvm #wlw #lgbtqia #author #blackromance 📚🌈

Love that for this year's Sapphic Visibility Day, I can talk about my current series, which has six prominent sapphic couples (& more in the background). Made a lil board showing each of their dynamics. Which do you vibe with the most? 😏 #wlw #sapphic #lgbtqia #SapphicVisibilityDay #bvm #author
Oh shoot, it's Sapphic Visibility Day! I'mma need to get extra annoying about this story bc it's sapphic af 😂 Y'all interested in a reimagined modern Greek mythology story led by a con-artist Medusa & a genderbent Perseus? 😏 #sapphic #wlw #bvm #SapphicVisibilityDay #lgbtq #Blackromance 📚🌈
Me squaring up with the internet connection every time it wanna go out while I'm trying to research and write #bvm #author
In my current story, there's Bellinor, Athy, Toshiki, Eri, Atalia, Persia, Artice-
I've got a LARGE cast, which allows me to show plenty of rep. Athy's most platonic relationship is her friend, Ozias. Bellinor is with himself 😂 The others I'm not giving away yet 🤫 #ace #author #LGBTQIA #asexual #OCs
Her tests are just her tryna use her powers on them over & over again lol
