Hey there, Bluesky! I'm Blackbird, a Brazilian ace/demiromantic web serial author and translator. I ramble about my characters, meme, bitch about life and occasionally have opinions™️. I also co-host #LateNightWrite every other Monday night! You can learn a bit more about my work in the replies.👇

Not gonna say I'm promoting it since I'm not posting it publicly (yet?), but I like this section on my latest fic chapter quite a bit, so I will share it for #DAFanFriday this day.
Alyss walked back to her camp, bag of supplies hanging from her shoulder and her chestpiece tucked under her other arm. The way the night air felt cooler without it made her feel much too exposed. As if some part of her couldn't stand to be touched even by the elements anymore. Tentatively she reached out for the fresh bandages, partially visible through the tear in her clothes. A dull numbing feeling slowly took hold of the area as the healing herbs took effect. Her body would mend, as she knew it could, as it had several times before, but she couldn't be so sure about all the small ways every other part of her felt broken. The whispers in her dreams, the bouts of anger, all the ways her body seemed to either act of its own accord or refuse to obey her now… she hated the feeling of having been bent into a shape she could no longer fully recognize.

We're a week away from my birthday. I have an ask. Can Opus get a little orange banner for the Kindle edition before then? It's a very, very long shot, but it can't hurt to ask for preorders from there.

Already run into kids who, when seeing my wildlife photos, exclaim 'that's AI'

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.
A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social): As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead." But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that" Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of three feathers, with an orange curved title: “All Under One Wing”. There are two smaller feathers in front of a central large feather. The left front feather is the trans flag (horizontal light blue, pink, white, pink, light blue), and the right front feather is the asexual flag (horizontal purple, white, grey, black)(the flag is usually the other way round, but I like it better this way - artistic choice). The large feather is a horizontal rainbow, with graded colours from the top: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple). Inspiration and some reference: Anton Seder.

My parody book sale posts are getting buried for reasons...I have thoughts why. Anyway, please preorder my trans self-discovery novella. I'd love you forever. Platonically. Ideally on Itch (most money for me) or Amazon (I want the banner)

My hot take? He was more smug about making Han jealous than about getting kissed.

Does that make the love triangle more or less weird? The answer is yes.

My Star Wars hot take is that Luke didn't kiss Leia.

Leia kissed Luke, my man was just lying there in his medical bed, minding his own business

(He was still smug after kissing his sister that was weird af tho, even he didn't know)

#LateNightWrite I tend to write a lot of anxious sapphics with self-worth issues and himbo men they're totally platonic with. A lot of impulsive idiots who hide their pain behind humor, and tragic badasses who care a lot more than they initially let on.
