Emilβs body hits the wood, their chin knocked sharp against their skull. Their head is ringing.
But theyβre quick on the defense: an upward swing, a kick with both legs. A direct hit with the latter sends the shadow scrabbling against crates labeled with older years. The shadow assumed their target clumsier, and was right: but a worse fighter, hardly. Emil has years of combat experience on this stranger, which is clear even as they had to improvise rising to their feet.
The atmosphere in here is oppressive, the beat of both hearts as one, heavy breathing. Emil almost wants to shout out, to call for a parley; but before they can say a syllable, the shadow is rising to their feet, crying out furious. A survivor.
Book 1, Chapter 3: "Creak", has been released!
A healthy mind thrives in a healthy body; but where to start, when your mind and body burden you both?

It's always a lie about "the kids"
No kid has a problem with gay people, only their parents do
Everything is equally new and wondrous to kids, they accept gay and straight people equally
"The kids" is always a lie on this subject

β And there you see, I made the wings.
β Theyβre pretty big, arenβt they!
β My teacher told me. Iβll need really big wings to fly; likeβ¦ at least twice as big as a vespin.
Rieli spreads her arms triumphantly, as if to prove to her big brother that, yes, one day she will indeed have these wings, and that sheβs already practicing, because sheβs very very serious and has thought everything through very carefully.
Kenna picks up her drawing from the floor, before comfortably resting an arm on the edge of the couch, smiling at his little sister and her cheerful scribbles.
Book 1, Chapter 2: "No Place Like Home", has been released!

I'd like to recommend the works of Vivian Paley to anyone who this post resonates with! she was a teacher and child development researcher whose instincts about child psychology were ahead of her time (she was doing a lot of this work in the 1950s and 60s), and saw Play as a tool for learning, social development, storytelling, and many other aspects of early development.
It's not exactly the type of literature I think you may be looking for, OP, but I think her books are incredibly interesting and tap into a facet of what you're looking for.
the two books of hers I've read are called You Can't Say You Can't Play (1993) and The Boy Who Would Be A Helicopter (1991), but this post was a great reminder for me to read more of hers.
She has been on the radio to read excerpts and create reenactions from the above texts, which you can listen to here and here.
enjoy!
Vivian Paley: So many of the stories that young children tell have to do with an animal or a little girl or boy being lonely, and walking in the woods, and finding someone to play with. It is the universal, most successful story. And if you have a kindergarten class, or a preschool class, or a first grade class, and-- although this would never happen-- but let's say, all 24 children told this story.
There was a lonely deer. He had no one to play with. And then a cougar came up and said, I'll be your friend. Next story. There was a lonely boy. He had no one to play with. And on and on.
Not one child in the class would say, what, again? Haven't we had enough of that already? No. They would say, more. More. Tell us again that when you're lonely, someone's going to come up and say, I'll play with you.
made a couple of book recommendations on tumblr on a post i saw about the importance of Play, and now i'm relistening to vivian paley's radio interviews and getting a little emotional about these simple universal truths lol

At first it looks, for all the world, like a historical artifact; dated knowledge of Presquile. But that canβt be: there are eight dark-blue ink lines connecting Younger and Older, all in the same pen; and that eighth one was only opened for traffic four months ago.
Emilβs hands retreat to the safety of the poncho, as Etrika takes the map gingerly, with a sense of religious responsibility.
β If you would, show me on map, where the tailor lives?

This is the first page of a multi-panel 12 page comic strip by saucypaws, featuring two anthropomorphic female characters: Pepper, a shorter, curvy calico cat with short hair, and Whitney, a taller, athletic horse girl with longer hair. Both characters are getting ready to go out somewhere and are wearing just their underwear. The comic aims to depict a tender moment relating to body image and insecurity.
Pepper is standing in front of a full-length mirror, looking at herself while holding up a green velvet strapless dress as if she is unsure whether or not she wants to put it on or not. We see a close up of her face and she is clearly very unhappy. Suddenly, a very alarmed Whitney comes rushing in: "Shoot!" she exclaims. "What time is it?" - the two of them must be late for something...

they basically did. street brawl is a 4v4 teamfight simulator. no farming, same ability curve for everyone, just random items.
it's not quite like a classical FPS mode but it is much closer. and its super fast (10-15 minute rounds)

A page of drawings featuring my original character Jaya the gig worker delivery harpy.
On the right is her facing the viewer with a happy, starry-eyed look on her face. She says "H-Hello, I'm your AirDashβ’ flyer! You have a package for me to deliver...?"
In the middle is her perched on a branch with her goggles on and smartphone in hand (talon?) looking to the side saying "This is the pickup point, right...?"
On the left is her without her goggles and hoodie looking at her phone with a relieved look as it pings a notification for a 5-star rating. She says "Thank goodness..."
Additionally, there is a small chibi-style inset of her head in the upper middle part of the page smiling happily.
jaya the gig worker delivery harpy!
her smile and optimism have not yet been ground to dust by the cruel realities of society, please pray for her

A graphic featuring a banner image of the members of queer Portland magical girl rock band Magica Riot - Sara (Riot Red), Claire (Riot Purple), Nova (Riot Blue), Cass (Riot Yellow), and Hana (Riot Green), standing in the waterfront park in downtown Portland amid the cherry blossoms. Below them, artwork for the two main novels - Magica Riot and Magica Riot: Full Bloom - are arranged side-by-side. βMagica Riotβ features a purple color scheme and Claire posing dramatically amid purple clouds and the outline of the St. Johns Bridge in Portland, while βFull Bloomβ features characters Iris and Bloom laying on orange rain lilies while touching fingertips.
Text on the graphic reads: βRead the adventures of Portlandβs queer magical girl rock band. Trans protagonist, music-based magic, useless lesbians, thrilling action, found family energy, modern-day Portland. Recommended if you like: Sailor Moon, Symphogear, Pretty Cure, Power Rangers."
My 2026 goal is for my queer magical girls to take over all media/entertainment. Failing that, Iβd just love for them to find some new fans whoβll love them. π₯Ή
