I usually buy it by the pound? 🤷
The water content is very low. It often crystalizes on me.

Oh no! A riot of color!

People have been selling patterns on Etsy since Etsy began. Building a pattern is work, and it is an actual product, even if you're printing it out at home. So, unless this is _not_ a pattern for the suit, this isn't a scam.

Giving me flashbacks to the time I had to explain to an adult that the moon goes around the whole earth in a month.

UNBROKEN X UNTAMED ?

I thought "spunky investigative reporter plot" in "1560s-esque secondary world" was going to be easy to comp.

It's not.

Anyway, a #ND scholar, frustrated with his imperial government waging war, finds out about colonial oppression and his own sexuality.

I might just have enough space to switch "Tales" with "Rumors."

I mean, I would read this

There's some repetition in this, which feels like a missed opportunity. Does she have to fall in love with her friend to break the curse? Is that what you're trying to hint at?

QUEER ANTICOLONIAL SCARLET PIMPERNEL

A #ND chronicler pursues a masked folk hero leading a rebellion, a kidnapped prince, and his own missing father across a land trampled between two empires. A dashing genderfluid local adopts his cause but knows more than they're letting on.

Though he cannot sense magic, Pun Wai Lam longs to work with it, and investigating illegal spellcraft has been his way in. But his new witch partner Ffraid Vaughan suspects the glitzy magic company that employs them is up to worse than any of the criminals they're hunting down.

Thank you! It is a fantasy empire, but I think calling it by name in the pitch means nothing. But I could just call it an empire!

WITCHMARK X TAINTED CUP

The Second World aligns with the First, releasing magical energy. Those without the power to harvest it are left at the mercy of those who can. Special investigator Pun Wai Lam is helping catch those who use it for ill, but what if that includes his employers?

Has autistic scholar Able Houser decided to chronicle the rebellion against colonization because he wants to hold his government accountable or because he wants to find his missing father?

Yes. Stop asking bisexuals to choose.

#PreDV #A #F #LGBT (+1 genderfluid rebel love interest)

I think this is much clearer!

I think you could cut "inconspicuous" and just leave it at spy, then you could mention Seren is a performer

Tales of a Robin Hood figure leading a rebellion against colonial forces are the first lead a #ND scholar has had on finding his missing father in 12 years, but his investigation becomes delicate when he learns his people are the oppressors and the masked man is very, very hot.

Good start, but it's not clear whether it is the monk or the priest who did the stealing and preaching. It's also unclear how it relates to his sister.

"Flatter half" is very clever! I wonder if you can't sneak in a specific about why finding her brother is important

While an industrial revolution is fueled by the cyclical resurgence of magic power, a gay investigator and a butch witch team up to track down spell-casting criminals. But what if the institutions are deeming certain magics illegal to protect their own interests?

Such devastation

How ghost crabs 👻🦀 run so fast 🏃:

At top speed, they push with their trailing legs (L if crab running R) like a vaulter's pole, leaping into the air!

Their leading legs (R if crab running R) don't "step". They use those legs like skis 🎿, bouncing off the sand!

"Occasionally." Why two Cs and two Ls but not two Ss??

I cannot see it either

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

Please, Google, why is it when I search "parts of a curtain wall," almost the first page of results are dividers made of curtains?

Month by month I am watching AI make this thing dumber.

Meanwhile, creatives name their printers and laser cutters and tell them "good job!" when the thing they designed comes out right

“Stay angry, little Meg,” Mrs Whatsit whispered. “You will need all your anger now.”

"Okay I get that," Meg whispered back, "but I've been angry for over a decade straight and my arteries are basically solid carbon fiber at this point. Do I ever get a freakin' break?"

lmao

He is survived by his legacy of ritualized child abuse and boomers whose adult children won't speak to them. So long to a truly vile human being, one of the great villains of the last century.
