A brief update of my week because damn I am so tired. #blog #WritingCommunity #amwriting #theatre #Macbeth #Guthrie #life

N.Y.C. Officials Reinstate Pride Flag at Stonewall After Federal Removal

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

I would also like to clarify they literally are power hungry Bad Guys in this who abuse their position and bully and emotionally manipulate kids. They BAD. Full stop. Not "well, when the good guys win." No. They abolish them. Simple as that.

It's still so weird seeing my writing on the internet lol

Be bold, be brave, be HUMAN. It's really that simple. Or, a reaction to AI slop demeaning romance readers and writers.

It's official: Elias is Rum Tum Tugger

I made the Emperor in Hexmark's Fate more despicable.

Sucks for all the characters involved, but I had a wonderful session talking to @thetomatowriter.bsky.social over Discord for like 2 hours about it and upcoming stuff in our game last night. And that made my week.

Yay! Way to go!

I love making those couples! I feel like I'm falling in love alongside them.

That's GORGEOUS 😍

Posting this here on my alt. Though this is the name I put on everything so maybe Daphne is my alt? What is identity? Just a facade we wear. Anyway, if you like the sound of summer debauchery, you'll love my writing, check me out!

February 2026 #Queer Prompts list from @CJAralore. Day #1 is Introduce yourself & your WIP/story/book

I'm Allie (they/them), I love bees, and I'm (allegedly) working on Hexmark's Fate, a magic school set in a world where the bad guys won and the aftermath and trauma of all that. I write the 2 professors' POVs and possibly Eetu's, a serious boy who has some secrets. #QueerPrompts #WritingCommunity

My latest blog post where I set a new definition for myself and my craft. It's sentimental, but hey, maybe I am a little at times.

Day 18: Aesthetic Boards

I no longer have my Fox Eyes moodboard but here's a couple Cami moodboards for Hexmark's Fate (though I made them both well after her first year when you all will meet her) for Hexmark's Fate. And one for her and her love interest. #FantasyIndiesJanuary

That's awesome congrats!

Most my TTRPG characters are cis men. It's how I get my masc energy out and play with gender norms. I think you should be allowed to do what you want and express yourself in whatever means you want.

Brighter Than Scale, Swifter Than Flame by @itsneonyang.bsky.social might be perfect if you're looking for "Lady Knights! Ideally sapphic or generally queer and more medieval than fantasy." #AskALibrarian

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS

3 months until Data & Deception! #booksky 🌶️📚

Unfortunately, this is the part where I remind people that Black 10th graders get beat up by cops every day.

This is the part where I remind people about modern civil asset forfeiture, where US police steal more value from people (mostly Black) than every form of theft other than wage theft.

"Look, you're definitely capable of facing this head-on. You just shouldn't have to." Stella wraps an arm around my waist and tugs me close. "You deserve a little break, some space to heal from this." "Well, my current break has to end now. I need to go start on lunch." As we head back in the direction we'd come, Stella says, "At least call in sick tomorrow." "It'll be that bad, huh?" I try to fake a laugh but even that gets stuck in my throat. Will I ever smile again? My life is about to change no matter how loudly I hum.

Moodboard titled ‘A Most Inconvenient Arrangement’ with five images: London skyline, a couple embracing in a nightclub, a young woman dressed in smart office wear, a close-up of a young couple about to kiss, a young couple arguing, a man in the middle of removing his shirt.

Stella’s being a great bestie again, while Amaya’s indulging in the dramatics

I love a manipulative antagonist!

So much charisma! I mean, he's also a super powerful mage, but it's mostly charisma. And sooooo much manipulation. Is your antagonist very manipulative?

Oooooh, I literally ALSO thought a cult leader. I have an Emperor who has a cult of personality following. People have and will go to war on his word. I love characters like those. They're terrifying to me!

A quick minute of #sweater #knitting on 1/11/25. #knitsky Missed a couple of days while we did inventory in our 80,000 square foot warehouse.
