Heyo! I'm realizing I didn't ever really make a basic little thread for people coming by the ol' profile. Time to fix that!
Hullo, I am Celeste! I am a reader and writer of literary speculative fiction from the US. I also am quite outspoken about a lot of things, both writing and political. 🧵(1/9)

Ngl, I hope some kid in Ohio takes a pic of the aurora tonight and uses it for an album cover for their Midwest Emo band or something, because that'd be nice.

So, I wanted to see what it would look like if I changed my display name to "Kentucky-Fried Idiot™" and it made me laugh so hard that I almost passed out, so for the rest of the month, that's what it's gonna be.
I wish I was sorry.

It stresses me out blocking queer people but regularly promoting gen AI use is a bright red fucking line

Heya heya! As you can see, I've decided to do a little bit of a refresh to my account. Nothing major, but I realized that I kinda blend both talking about writing stuff as well as just using it like a personal account, so I'm making some minor changes to how my profile looks to match!

Okay, but are any of them single? I gotta know.
If I say, "Here be dragons," and your next words aren't, "Are any of them single?" I don't know if we're compatible as friends.

Queer people have the right to headcanon any and all characters as queer bc we’ve been denied the ability to see ourselves in mainstream culture.
If that annoys you, a straight “ally,” start blocking all the queer folks in sight.
Problem solved!

Still thinking about how EARTHSEA ended. My thoughts have solidified, and while "oof" is still accurate, I don't think it's quite as complimentary as I originally thought.

Hear me out: Literary Football. Magical Realism Football, if you will. Memoir Football, perchance.
Okay, so fantasy football is a thing.
But doesn't that imply the existence of mystery football, horror football and the like? Maybe Regency football, screwball football, Ruritanian football and more?

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

I only have WIPs, but, here's the first line (not counting the prologue) for BENEATH A STAR-SHATTERED SKY.
(Part of the "convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence" game we got going. I guess we might be expanding it to WIPs now? Who knows!)

Hot take, they kinda always were, because it wasn't grey morality as much as it was just nihilistic storytelling. But doubly so now, yeah.
all those "Grey Morality!" stories really look kinda like crap these days when all you see are just the Evilest motherfuckers on the planet fucking over the Goodest of Souls for no reason but for the fun of it.

The way I've always described it was "Butch Hartman, but furries exist" but this works too.
People keep telling me to watch Hazbin Hotel and while I'm sure it's lovely the visual style is unfortunately and repellently glompcore

Supreme Court won’t hear challenge to landmark gay marriage ruling
The announcement indicates there is not an appetite among the high court’s conservative majority to revisit one of the court’s most significant decisions in recent years.

Tbh, I kinda wanna get the influence and reach of a wildly successful author just so I can most effectively bully people who think writing is a fail-state to other forms of media.
Also, this is why I should never actually have that level of influence.

Anyway, fuck the Democratic. They learned nothing and will continue to learn nothing until we raze their little club to the ground and start from scratch. Fuck it, the fascists are already in charge. If not now, when?
