A really good friend of mine regularly says "I am cringe, but I am free" and I think that's a good way to live!

things are! very bad! in the world! i have nothing to add significantly other than this sucks shit
I took a couple day break from social media, I'm exhausted. It's hard not to feel like I'm not doing anything worth while in the current climate. I'm going to keep telling queer stories, I'm going to keep being alive.
This is the only resistance I can perform, and it's enough.
Dustlings is about a human rediscovering their roots, and since "Dustling" is a word used to describe humans in the magical world, it felt like a good placeholder, but I ended up liking it so much I couldn't change it.
WO's titles all relate to the theme of familial trauma in an abstract sense.

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second:
one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable
that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better
Also, it’s especially important to do this in the hell-year 2025.
Find small joys anywhere & everywhere you can. Put them on your desktop, in your pocket, clutch them to your chest and share them with others.
It’s not toxic positivity.
It’s seeking out beauty & joy, in defiance of a cruel world.
BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds.
While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.
Do you really fucking think artists do better work stressed about making rent, or not having enough to eat? Do you do your best work that way? Of course not. It's total brainwashing scam bullshit.
The "Starving artist" trope was started by ppl who didn't wanna pay artists (writers, painters, musicians, etc) & wanted it to seem a good thing. Artists suffering for art, starving artists, doing it for love only/shunning money - All myth turned folklore as reason to NOT FUCKING PAY US OUR DUE.
This thread is the funniest own I've seen today. Also, good on Signal for vowing no AI shit.

Sometimes you find the enemy you're looking for in a masquerade. Sometimes you stumbled into an enemy looking for you.

Lionel tells Alistair several hard truths in this chapter, the hardest for him to swallow is that his parents victory against The Father of Dragons was not as clear cut as he imagined it. But his mother, Ada, was never afraid until they turned up at her father's door.

Quick writing accountability post before midnight! I've been struggling with migraines and a bunch of other stuff going on, but I wrote today! Yay!
She's such a fun character, but she's definitely a strange one haha
I'm half way (ish) through a trilogy and I have about six other things lined up, and YET I'm rotating this other completely unrelated project around all of that 🙃 Can we focus on the WIP we're in the middle of? PLEASE???
I hate when that happens! Brain PLEASE let me finish what I'm working on first!! (It never does)
She was born to the goddess of luck and her favored temple sentinel, kept secret from all the other gods and raised by her father in service to her mother. She's also a pansexual menace and she collects creatures and oddities.
Serena of Broken Hearts for sure! She's a demi-god turned Actual God under strange circumstances and she's constantly getting tangled up in mortal affairs. She's the only god who isn't hunted down to prevent the father of dragons from coming to power again.
She's the goddess of Vengeance/Revenge.

A short feud between brothers today.
The amount of shit I’ve seen people say about trans men thanks to one former man detransitioning is actually heinous. It’s heinous.
Living the amazing yaoi fantasy of having to leave two countries and become a refugee because of transphobic laws, yeah. And before that being disowned by your family and told by your brother that mom died of a broken heart because of you being a freak
I would make a fantastic yaoi character
The greatest lie I can tell is writing a hyper-intelligent character who's three steps ahead of everyone else because I, the writer, is always five steps behind whatever the hell is even happening in general
