This lady here decided to fuck with Ru'ul, one of the biggest badasses in Atalantis. She's finding out that was a mistake ๐Ÿ˜‚

#SapphicLineShare 6. Didn't know what to share, but inspired by @marinestjean.bsky.social, I'm going with Ashrah's first experimentation of a certain kind of self-care ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคญ

Kind of a #LesFicFri snippet too with "wonderful"

How did I miss that the fourth Seal Cove book is coming out so soon?! A new Anna Burke title and I was totally blindsided.

I swear, I really must be slipping.

All 3 antagonists have important details of dress, but I'll do a long yap about Lord Blackthorne.

Blackthorne speaks LOUDLY with his clothes, just like Alexander doesโ€”when they first meet, Alexander reads him head to foot: +

Moodboard for THE GODS OF ATALANTIS featuring:

Ancient board games, temples with waterfalls pouring into pools, neat ancient fantasy cities, forehead kisses, frolicking in canals amid a palace, beautiful island coastlines, more ancient cities, and cool statues of strange gods.

Center Quote: โ€œFrom the day you left this village, you became more than merely yourself. You are the Sea Mother. This is the role fate has placed upon you. I told you when you left that I believed this path has opened up to you for a reason. I still believe that. Youโ€™ve been given a chance that few others ever haveโ€”the chance to change the world for the better. Iโ€™d even dare say itโ€™s your duty to do so, now that you have the means.โ€

Digital painting by me of Mireia, the MC of my Atlantis trilogy, standing with her arms spread out in front of a carved wall relief of her goddess alter-ego, Mu'u the Sea Mother. Mireia is a teenage girl with light brown skin, long dark brown wavy hair, and gray eyes, wearing a blue garment that clasps at her left shoulder, a wide purple cloth belt, and a few pieces of gold jewelry. Mu'u is a feminine figure with a large coral-like headdress, obsidian eyes, and seven scaly arms holding various objects: a skull, a fish, a hammer, a lyre, a bundle of lightning bolts, a swaddled baby, and a small boat. Behind her is a background of cliffs and sea waves full of ocean creatures & human figures sunk at the bottom.

Your reminder that this is coming up tomorrow. Promote your sapphic work that involves fishing or fish for the fish moon.

And since it's also going to be blood moon, bonus points for murder.

Working on revisions for my shipwrecked familiars romance with the grumpy sprite and sunshine imp.

Here Daryus assesses his vile enemy, Phraxxiz. I'm sensing some conflicting feelings here, perhaps. I dunno, I could be imagining it.๐Ÿคท

I don't want to read a book written by AI.
I don't want to read a book half written by AI.
I don't want to read a book narrated by AI.
I don't want to read a book with an AI cover.
I don't want to read a book written by somebody who supports AI.

I'm sorry that happened to you, Nicole.

:D Thank you for hosting! It's been a lot of fun to both share my magic system and see all the creative and magical ways other writers are playing with it in their stories~

I can't say too much about the circumstances of this scene, but this is my favorite use in book 1 ๐Ÿ’•
