When her mortal enemy goes MIA, she sets out to FINISH HIM, only along the way she discovers he looks GOOD shirtless. As she questions her morals and sanity, she uncovers truths about her world that leave her SHOOK. When doing what’s right isn’t good, it’s time to be bad.

Drawing of Lianna and Fyrgus, the main characters in my fantasy romance. Lianna is a plus sized woman with dark brown curly hair. She wears a white gown and a midnight coat embroidered with moons. Fyrgus is a tall man with black fox ears and tale and long black hair. He wears a billowing shirt embroidered with suns and black breeches and a crimson coat trimmed in black fur also embroidered with golden suns. He’s handing lianna her broken boot as she looks up at him with an expression of “oh no, he’s hot” art by SirSleepsALot

So… Jelani kills her girlfriend’s king, gets reported and attacked by said girlfriend, and now has to lead her siblings on a journey to try and stop a war. Is she the a**hole or is she just misunderstood?

AITA for making the literal Sun God fall in love with me and have some sort of a divine meltdown?

Anyway, this dude starts following me around the sky like a golden-eyed simp, and things get… intense. Anyways another god doesn't like it and yeets me out of existence.

So AITA?

in the novel i’ve queried for years, the friendship between the two female leads is the heart of the story. the moments where the stakes and the drama fall away, where they’re just two teenage girls joking around, are my absolute favorite to write. someday i hope they’re someone’s favorite to read!

i can’t help but notice that inej and nina, the female crew members, are not part of it. inej and nina are close, supportive, and caring, but they don’t get these silly lighthearted moments together. this is just one example, but i want to see more women being silly and FUNNY.

male characters engage in. women are funny! women joke around and tease and have silly, stupid jokes. one example i always come back to is in six of crows (a book i love) wherein the 4 male characters of the crew have a moment of silly banter about their ghosts. it’s a silly moment, but

okay female friendships in fantasy: obviously we’ve come a long way in recent years, but one of my biggest gripes is that too often female characters are relegated to a very serious type of banter and interactions with each other and are not allowed the funny, lighthearted banter that
