my only bridgerton thought is that I still think eloise and cressida have mad chemistry

aw thank you!!

you're so sweet, thank you!!!

to clarify i am ok!!! only as riven with anxiety as usual!!

i'm going to be honest sometimes it's hard to believe in your work, writing has ups and downs. but I saw fanart of my characters naked and is there a higher compliment? no.

this is the nicest thing I've read all week 😂❤️

no monarchy you say???

rip Teresa of Avila, you would have loved romantasy

this made me shriek out loud, thank you

it also surprises people how many 'dead' digital archives there are (historical and other), with links that lead to broken pages. it costs money to keep a database online, after all, and often funding runs out.

UK folks: if we care about what is happening in the US with ICE, we must take steps to push back against anti-immigrant and refugee policy by our own government.

Fill out this consultation. It really doesn't take long. Amnesty have put together a super clear and helpful guide to follow.

Harlequin, shuttering historical romance imprint.

is there any other kind (yes and yes)

I'm afraid I came in on 5e so I can't agree or disagree!

If you wanna play a character in a one shot so I can test the mechanics....

right now I am excited about daggerheart because as someone math-challenged its mechanics actually make.... sense? I love d&d but it's just not as intuitive

thank you!

Absolutely, most readers will try anything once but the won't come back to read (AI) garbage over and over.

i've been a romance reader all my life and this attitude that it's somehow sub-par 'slop' has been there forever - it's just wearing a new hat.

there's so much disrespect of romance writers and romance readers baked into the idea that AI-driven production of novels is 'better'. as if writing romance isn't skillful, hard and joyous work. as if romance readers aren't discerning, loyal and savvy.

you can still reclass! Withers is there! (Or just play another save, which I always support.)

If you want to be a chaos demon bard, go swords bard, up your dex and take the sharpshooter feat. by level 5 you turn into a beast.

hello this is very relevant to my interests (I can also recommend playing a bard, they have very funny options)

excuse me, what the fuck is this

An instagram post by Sarah Michelle Gellar, where she shares a screenshot of a tweet by user @godimsuchadyke. The tweet is a photo of Buffy and Faith standing close together lesbianly from Season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with the caption "this was my heated rivalry". Sarah thanks user @godimsuchadyke in the caption of her post.

Everybody shut the fuck up and pay attention to the most important thing happening at this moment.

HENRY Well, thank you. This is where I can get onto a long rant. I hear a lot of feedback from people who aren't really romance readers, who think of it as sheer escapism, and that has not been my experience as a writer or a reader or a watcher. The reason I love romance so much is because it takes the brightest parts of life and the darkest parts of life, and it puts them side by side in a way that feels safe because you have that safety net of a happy ending. I have a real issue with the fact that a tragic love story is treated as more important or more artistically valuable than a love story that ends in a place of hope and optimism. Because, in real life, if you are a person who wants a monogamous, long-term relationship, your best-case scenario is you meet someone, you fall in love, you love each other your entire life and then one of you dies, and it is the worst, most excruciating pain. By putting that end cap on the moment that they're happy and they're hopeful, you are - I'm getting teared up. This always makes me emotional because it makes me think about my dogs, honestly. You are saying that the value, the important part of the story, is this moment when they are happy and they are together. And that's my worldview. It's like, things really suck a lot of the time, but love is the thing that makes it all worth it.

This is why they could never make me hate you, Emily Henry.

a semi-realistic painterly re-draw of a still from Mighty Nein Animated, depicting Caleb Widogast kneeling in the foreground and looking up at Essek Thelyss, who has just landed on a pile of debris further into the composition, his silhouette stark against the night sky. Caleb is a light-skinned ginger human with messy chin-length hair and a beard, wearing a dark cloak, a patched-up coat underneath it and a long scarf. he is mostly turned away from the viewer, but surprise is clear on his face. Essek is an elf, which is apparent from his long pointed ears, but his body is otherwise obscured. he is depicted wearing dark shiny armor, organic and insectoid in its design. the helmet looks like the face of a cricket, with large glowing almond-shaped eye holes and spiky horns reminiscent of a stag beetle's. the breastplate looks like a beetle's elytra, and the slightly translucent iridescent double cape whipping in the wind behind him appears to be similar to an earwig's fan-like wings. the characters are framed with the remains of a destroyed wall and the floor above, and the night's starry sky looks light in comparison to their shaded figures.

*draws cartoons like one of your live action movies*

i'm still and forever on that Kryn Drow Are Bug Elves train, so i absolutely had to redraw that beautiful shot with my version of kryn armor!

look at every medieval & early modern court document about lesbians and/or trans men using dildos (e.g. Katherine Hetzeldorfer, 1477). there are so many!!! court records!!

really I despair

There's one critique of ISLE IN THE SILVER SEA I need to respond to: a medieval lesbian having a strap isn't anachronistic. There's a lot of purposeful anachronism/timey-wimey shit in ISLE, but the strap isn't one of those things.

Furious at this. TERFs and Gender Critical people are a loud, radicalized, wealthy minority, forcing groups who've done the right thing for years into horrible positions that none of them want. Stop buying Harry Potter. Fight for your trans brothers and sisters. They'll come for you next.
