I'm always amused by the way humans fetishize "walking upright," "tool use," and "language" as the iconic features of a superior species. And of course we ignore or downplay the obvious signs of all three in every other species. "They only walk upright SOMETIMES. Not like a true upright walker."

More fatphobic than anything Stephen King has actually written is the fact that every adaptation of Carrie refuses to let her be fat. Do you know how hard it is to be more fatphobic than King? But King's novel is a sympathetic story in which fatphobia is inextricable from the way Carrie is treated.

#JulyInterviewFic part 17 Erastos: "I've grown up with stories of merfolk. About them being divine, dangerous beings that will turn the whole ocean against you, if insulted or hurt. But then I've met my pearl. Nee is...nothing like that. Sweet. Curious. So...human. It has been eye opening."

#JulyInterviewFic Part 16 Noah's gaze avoids yours: "...I won't have a legacy. That's all I have to say on the matter." The others exchange glances. Conall gets up from his desk, hand clasping Noah's shoulder: "Time for a hunt." She follows him out of the quarters without a single protest.

#JulyInterviewFic Part 15 Noah shrugs: "I get up around noon to eat, then we pull lots on who does gate duty. Most times we fudge the result so Asher wins and can rest his leg...Then I have to do my part of the chores, before doing my rounds for the night. Unless I'm given another task, of course."

#JulyInterviewFic Part 14 Noah hesitates, scratching her head: "Values, huh? Never really thought about it...I'm trying to be honest and make sure people are safe, I guess?" Dela hums, not looking up from her task: "Curiosity, loyality and sisterhood. Not necessarily in that order."

Since I managed to hit a small writing goal, and I'm really happy to finally have the guts to share my wips, I decided to commission some art! 🧜🏾‍♀️🧜🏾🧜🏽‍♂️ Meet "Pearl", the merrow that falls in love with the fisherman Erastos! Made by the incredibly talented @ascoresdalua.bsky.social

Hello #WriterShareWednesday! It's not out yet, but The Witch of the Wood will release on October 6th! If you want to read it early, ARC applications are open now! forms.gle/w9nL6aU82Tew...

Over a dark forest: The Witch of the Wood - Novella - MM Fantasy Romance - Breaking a Curse - A Spooky Forest - A Search for a Witch - Nervous x ConfidentThere was a witch hiding in the trees of Hatwick Wood. They were a steward of the wood, caring for the alders, maples, and cedar within, watching over the home of the beasts and birds. The witch ensured that villagers never took more than they gave, that they were never ravenous in their consumption of the gifts they were given. This was the witch’s sacred duty, and their magic had flown wild and free as they upheld their oath. The people who survived on the generosity of Hatwick Wood—every denizen from Farbreak at the south edge to Northpost on the opposite side—respected the witch. Although they had never seen the steward of the wood, stories about the witch had been passed down through the families. Everyone knew the witch was the forest caretaker, and if anything ever went wrong, they needed to be found to mend it. No one knew this better than the Ashtons. Milo Ashton came from a long line of people who made their living in the forest. His grandfather, and his grandfather’s grandfather, and every generation before that were hunters. It wasn’t work that would make them rich, or elevate them above common folk, but it was good, honest work that would always be needed. The Ashtons had always hunted in Hatwick Wood, respected it, and in turn, the wood gave them a bounty. That all changed when Hatwick Wood was cursed.A picture of a young man with tan skin and short dark hair wearing a green cloak and tan shirt. A bow is slung over his shoulder. He looks nervous. Next to him is a box that reads: Milo Ashton - A hunter tasked with breaking the curse on Hatwick Wood. Uncertain, nervous, but determined to do right. A picture of a young man with shoulder-length dark-brown hair and brown skin wearing colorful clothes. He has a big smile on his face. Next to him is a box that reads: Cambium - An energetic young man who is living in Hatwick Wood. Unaffected by the curse that lingers in the forest. Outgoing, bold, but willing to help where he can.Over a forest, Vibes in Song Form "The Forest" by Mirah "Into the Woods" by Phildel "All Things Devour" by aeseaes "In the Woods Somewhere" by Hozier

All of my books have disability rep, particularly PTSD. That, and the romance, is the whole focus of "One Bullet." In the Inquisition Trilogy, multiple characters struggle with various forms of PTSD, and one has lost an arm. #SpoonieAuthChat 🌈📚🪐💙📚🌎📚♿🌈📚♠️ AuthorCaseyWolfe.carrd.co

A spent bullet cartridge casing sits at the bottom, yellow-orange smoke coming up from it, forming a background for the title.An ad for the book "A Mage's Power" by Casey Wolfe, which is pictured in the center. The background is a set of fairy lights. It reads: "Does true power come from love?" The Inquisition Trilogy. Contemporary fantasy romance.

Just saw Andy Serkis defend an all-white casting of the Shire because they’re an insular community My dude, the Harfoots are brown. They are the most populous hobbits IN the Shire. That means that most hobbits are not white. Frodo has some Harfoot ancestry. Sam is a descendant. (M&P are not)
