#SongsOfSeptember Day 5 Okay, yeah, it's a werewolf romance, but the first thing that came to mind is *Duet for Two Cats* by Rossini. Kai is an anxious bean even though he's an alpha werewolf, and takes himself too seriously. Fi is anxious, too, but she helps Kai have fun.

#SongsOfSeptember Day 7 This is the song which I imagine Velda singing towards the end of the trilogy just before events lead up to a head. Picture it in the same position as "You Will Be Found" from Evan Hansen, or "For Good" from Wicked. It's a calm moment with her before the storm hits. Also,

The trans artist barely scraping by on itch io is making the art you want but they don't have the budget of a small country to work with so you turn your nose up at it and beg for scraps from the war crimes corporation

#SongsOfSeptember Peter and Wolfgang in my newest wip were young lovers that weren't allowed to be together, and Wolfgang got conscripted. In a last effort to make sure they could stay together when he got home, they eloped. But Wolfgang never came home. Peter has been waiting for 20 years.

#AwesomeCharacters This is fun because at the start of their story Nico & Fish absolutely bank on not having ANY reputation. They're hitmen. Only a very few people are vaguely aware what they do. Mostly they are hired indirectly. However, as the story progresses the secrets all come out. 💀

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Does your character have a reputation? Do they have fame or infamy? Will strangers they meet know of them? If so, what for? If not, does that change during the story? Do they *want* recognition? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

5) Song for main couple The song that represents my main couple is also my favorite song: "Fly for your Life" by Gunship. I have an entire scene in the book that plays to this song. Renard and Jenette do flight training together and have FUN doing it. youtu.be/Jv1ZN8c4_Gs&... #SongsofSeptember

#SongsofSeptember Not a duet but Love Story by Taylor Swift is THE Anii x Zero song to me. I'm not really a Swiftie but that song is so adorable! Specifically its Anii's view of their whole thing, since she's a country girl who loves the idea of being a fairytale princess youtu.be/8xg3vE8Ie_E?...

#SongsOfSeptember Day 6 At the beginning of the Forest of the Morning saga, one event looms over all: the slaughter & exile of the Mage-Gifted. The song which best fits the chaos & sorrow of the aftermath is "A Rose for Epona" by Gaulish metal ensemble Eluveitie. This song is... (cont)

#SongsOfSeptember Day 5 The artist I associate most strongly with Nico & Fish is Eivør. Nico & Fish first meet at a tavern where they spot each other from opposite sides of a room... before a vicious fight breaks out. 🖤 This song, "Trøllabundin" (Spellbound) perfectly encapsulates that mood.

This Many Years Ago@thismanyyearsago.bsky.social · 3d ago

328 years ago, on the 5th of September 1698, Russian Tsar Peter I instituted a tax on beards for all males except clergy and peasantry. The goal was to align Russian society with Western European nations. Police were allowed to forcibly shave those unwilling to pay the tax. #otd #history 🗃️

From The Barber Wants to Cut the Old Believer's Whiskers." Woodcut circa 1770. The print depicts an Old Believer on the left, wearing traditional Russian clothing and with a beard. To his right, a barber wearing German attire attempts to cut off the Old Believer's beard. The text identifies the Old Believer as a schismatic (reskolnik), who states, "Listen, barber, I neither want to cut my beard nor shave. Watch out, or I will call the guards to teach you to behave."

#SongsOfSeptember Day 4 The latest song I added to Forest of the Morning's playlist is "You Can Have It All" by Florence + the Machine. This & other songs on their "Everybody Scream" album is inspiration for the future plot of the series, 15+ years beyond the original trilogy.

#SongsOfSeptember Day 3 Forest of the Morning has 4 protags... 🤣 However, since the "main" MCs, Velda & Fish, have their songs as part of the plot & themes, I'm gonna name the songs for the "love interest" MCs, Nico & Albryan. Nico's song is "Somewhere I Belong" from Linkin Park's Meteora album.

#SongsOfSeptember I could put numerous Blackmore's Night songs/covers here since they inspired a lot of my stories, especially the Good Thyme Inn books. But for this prompt, I'll go with Dandelion Wine. It might be more of a Book 3 answer, but you get it now😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMeU...

#SongsOfSeptember Elias’ song is Winter Bird by AURORA His life was completely destroyed by his abuser & the death of his son. This song best encapsulates that raw feeling.

Speak Easy Art 🔞@speakeasy-art.bsky.social · 5d ago

Seeing some of my fave "big-name" artists on BSKY joking that they might have to stoop to making erotic art to make a living has me miffed. Erotic art has A) been artistic subject matter in all time periods and cultures, and B) Erotic artists are ALWAYS at the front of threats against the arts.
