#AwesomeCharacters Lawcket's story gets skipped again.😥 I need to make Awndrith a pretend antag, or something.
Jewel spends his free time alone, enjoying nature or practicing his magic. (Of course his magic is also his livelihood.)
When he's a palace mage, he often spends his free time chatting-1/3
Remember, you can now listen to a third Raven & Bear story for free. Caer y Môn explores the home of the knights of Branwen. There Sir Corbyn is advised by his former mentor and Ata receives a letter from her mother.

#AwesomeCharacters
Sidonay is practiced in the art of Takyu-dancing (roller skate dancing). He's very into fashion and designs some of his own clothes, including his hat. He's also a trained organist, something that made him appealing to Fumatsu (the Demon Lord who possesses him, also an organist)
An excerpt from The Lake Hopper (Raven & Bear: 4) by Bramble, in black text on a white background. It describes the mushroom-like attire of he character Madarch.
I was out and about when I requoted but now I'm home I feel bad for not giving you all an excerpt. So here you go!
Context: Madarch uses neo-pronouns, however because these characters speak Welsh I use the Welsh pronouns for they/them to represent neo-pronouns developed within this culture.

Funnily enough, Bitterbloom only exists because I needed Ashe to study something in class XD
Suffice to say, it pops up quite a bit in the most annoying ways as she has to complete a lab on it :p

Trans Rights Readathon About the Author Afro-Indigenous Transmasc & gender expansive chaotic gay Intersectional + About the Book BIPOC Vampire Neurodivergent Trauma & Healing Mentally Ill Unique Cultural Backgrounds The illustrated bookcover of Awaken, My Love a gay gothic romance novel. It shows a brown vampire with red eyes and shoulder-length wavy black hair wearing antique black and white clothing while looking toward the viewer. He is holding a man in his hands. The man is pale with long beige hair, wearing white and cream colored clothing. He is in profile, looking up and gripping the vampire's shirt. There are split open pomegranates threaded through the burgundy title of the novel. In the background is a broken gothic window, and at the bottom are chains. The cover is in shades of reds, browns, mauves, and blacks.
I also made a little trope map to show you the representation of me as the author and Awaken, My Love as a whole.
Representation is extremely important to me and one of the reasons why I started writing in the first place.

I'm a Participating Author in the Trans Rights Readathon
I want to focus on community this year, so I decided to participate in the #transrightsreadathon in different ways.
I'm still figuring things out, but so far I've volunteered to help the team, hold a talk on Reddit, and of course will try to rec some books for you all!
Post the cover of a book you love from the 90s.

#FaveLineFriday tip in reply⬇️🧵
The only snippet I worked on this week is both intense & tragic, but here's 2 sentences.
His eyes fell to rest pointedly on the knife she'd almost forgotten she was holding. There was longing in them, that same sorrow she'd seen in his unmoving features - 1/?
This leads to Ata having a very significant interaction with a particular fungus. I won't spoil it though.
I always try to incorporate nature into these stories because it's fundamental to Welsh myth and folklore. We have a very animist approach to our gods which I do intend to explore.
End.1
Hello #MarchWorldbuilders, the next story I'm recording is The Lake Hopper (Raven & Bear: 4). It features a town of farmers who all dress like mushrooms. It was a prompt from my partner and I'm very happy with how it turned out.
Questions Welcome!

In HermitageWIP, the FMC is a hobby orchardist, so her garden is a big deal (mainly apple trees), and shes also a fan of using mycorrhiza to help them thrive. Its also a bit of a plot point that she helps the MMC in the orangerie (greenhouse in space).

Most of my character concepts are on Heroforge, but I'm gonna show that I draw a little bit sometimes! I have WIPs of my characters Declan and Elias (the latter I'm currently trying to draw as we speak!) and then I have an illustration I drew of Lucian and Auðunar together!
Beenjamin (a plush bee) pokes his head out from behind a whole collection of tea boxes and bags of loose leaf tea (and one tall jar of honey).
Beenjamin's gearing up for a tea-flavored morning writing session! Join us tomorrow for TEA WRITES, a chill writing stream with lofi beats and word sprints!
Stream starts at 8:30 AM ET. Sprints start at 9.

Read it out loud, read it to people. Stories are meant to be told.
I already posted my #FaveLineFriday on accident when I got my dates mixed up. So feel free to check that post out if you want a sneak peak at future Raven & Bear stories.
Have a good day!

Oooh Intrigue! Also, bug lady! The art is really cool!
Good morning!!! For today's #WIPSnips we've got a bit more Bunibo before we see Frogbo again... but it's really fun to write from her perspective!
Don't worry: Bunibo's being ultra-careful about this whole scary vortex thing. 🐰📦
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #AmWriting
This #WIPSnips comes from Of Dina & Dan (Raven & Bear: 5). I'm in the middle of editing this story but haven't gotten to that point yet. I really like the character of Garrett and this was a good opportunity to show off why.
Questions Welcome!
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear #shortstory
Thank you! Gotta love the lore!
Yup. Both him and Queen Ifon who formally adopted Ata before she left with Sir Corbyn. She said in The Knightbane's Prize that she could never "bear" a child (get pregnant) and could no long "sire" one (get someone pregnant). Which I worry a lot of people miss.
#WIPSnips When I say Eleanor is ride-or-die, I mean that literally.
(Context: Mick's first vision is of how they're about to die . . . unless Mick strikes a deal with the Dead God.)
#amwriting #NamelessSong
This excerpt for #FaveLineFriday comes from The Eisteddfod (Raven & Bear: 6). I won't spoil the context but I think the sentiment of this scene is very obvious and I'm very happy with how it turned out. This story has so much cool stuff!
Questions Welcome!
#Raven+Bear #WritingCommunity #WriteSky
Thank you for the recommendation I'll keep that in mind!
A young girl learns to be a knight from her adoptive father as they travel through a post apocalyptic Wales. If you want a wholesome, queer normative story about found family then look no further for your humble bard has it all!

Yeah and it's definitely going to happen, I'm just thinking about where to do it and like how. Part of me wonders whether I should upload the first volume all together or start doing it in parts. I'd also like to have a little bit of cover art for it when I do.
I have and I'm intending to, but I'm going to do that once I have the first volume of them done. I'm recording them as I go because a) it's helpful for editing them and b) it would be overwhelming to record them otherwise. I'm just bad at the whole online stuff.
DM and then I'll give you my email from there. You can find my stories on youtube, there's a link in my bio and my pinned post has it threaded I think? Feel free to just enjoy them casually.
