Thank you Birb 😭😭😭🫂

TiA is one of my all time favorite fantasy novels. It's sapphic DnD inspired fantasy with some exquisite party dynamics, I highly recommend it. I'm saying this here and not my main for a reason... *cough*religious trauma Dragon Age queers *cough* you know who you are *cough*

It had been years since she had known any attachment outside of the dredges of Rholdir's faith. Years since she had been touched or held. And she knew that Mariana only wanted to be warm. And she knew that she herself only wanted to cool down... and to pretend. But gods, if it didn't feel incredible to feel someone's skin against her own, to feel breath against her neck, and a beating heart against her own chest. She felt the familiar buzz of Belial's spell in the back of her mind, and she immediately pushed it out before she could hear what he had to say. Just a little bit longer, she thought. Rholdir, forgive me. Let me have this for a moment more.

88k words in and we're finally getting to the religious trauma-coded sapphic romance. I'm so ready 👀

DREAMWALKER's magic system is quite dynamic; it's similar in concept to ATLA (or Sypha's magic in CASTLEVANIA). There are five major categories: Elementalism, Bloodcasting, Nullification, Spiritcasting, and Chaos.

👇 1/3

I will forever be obsessed with Dreamwalker's magic system 😋 it's so gooddddd

1: #FantasyFriday I've got 3 different systems, one isn't as developed so we'll pretend that doesn't exist. Thread inc.

Standard Magic: Conjuring fire, lightning, tremors, these can all be extremely taxing on a person's body so magic users utilize precious gems to store the magic in.

Oh fun! #FantasyFriday

The primary magic system in Belarythm's Branches is built around blood🩸, more precisely the manipulation of life and one's energies through blood or even flesh. Applications range from pseudo-telekinesis to mind speech, teleportation, and other much darker things.

Yesssssss! We love a little blood magic 👀

Good morning! ✨️ I'm on my third cup of coffee already (I work nights and have been up since 10pm). Hoping to keep some writing momentum going 😌 I hope you enjoy your coffee!

Ooooooh!! I'm very intrigued by Juniper and Thistle 👀 love the tie between wizards and the stars!

I love magic systems!
In Sweet & Wild, magic works through intention, and while it’s not very complex, I like it!
In Need for Dandelions (HealerWIP), magic comes from two places, the gods giving their devotees “gifts” and mage craft. Because neither of the leads are mages (1/3)

Something that I constantly need to remind myself of:

It's okay to not work yourself to the bone. It's okay to take breaks when you're feeling run down. You're allowed to take time to rest, even if it's inconvenient for others.

Take care of yourself 🩷

I will reveal no more 😈😌

Book 2 is just the Bitch Brigade + Joyanna lmao

I was worried that Mariana wasn't going to come across as the bitch I intended her to be, but I just compiled a bunch of her quotes out of context for an instagram post, and you know what?

She's absolutely awful lmao. I'm very proud.

I told myself I wasn't going to indulge in my late night coffee habit because I'm already manic and having a hard time sleeping, but here we are... sipping a latte at 1 AM.

My girlfriend: *dead asleep in bed at 4:00 am like a normal person*

Me: *running on four hours of sleep, drinking my fourth cup of coffee, blasting How It's Done from KPDH in my headphones, furiously trying to get through my to-do list before the Sleep Man catches up to me*

How THE FUCK are there 800 of you here??? I'm very grateful for the new followers I've gained in the last couple weeks 💖 I am a very busy grad student, so there are times where I'm a little quiet over here in bsky land, but I'm happy to have y'all here 🥹

I have a REALLY fun passion project on the way that I'm so so excited to share with everyone. Y'all remember when I asked about that femme/transfemme rage anthology? 👀 STAY TUNED 😌✨️

There are some really REALLY great books in this bundle, and if you pledge to Bails' kickstarter, you would be helping her spread some queer bookish joy in her area by opening a cafe and book store! It's a win-win 💖

I'm MORE that proud to say Tempered in Ash is included for the cause ⚔️✨
