You know, the more i think about it, the more i realize the mc and villain of my book, perhaps, aren't two sides of the same coin. Instead, they're the opposite sides of a mirror, a reflection of one another, flipped only because of their circumstances.
Or perhaps I'm thinking too much 🤔

There were once two boys. Both were broken, lost, and faced with horrors even your nightmares couldn't create. In light of these horrors, they became their worst self.
What's the difference, you may be wondering, between them?
Well, one was a sheep, and the other was a wolf.

My early beta readers told me my debut book The Black Throne wasn't dark enough to be a dark fantasy. I didn't argue. But I have to wonder as the trilogy comes to a close, does it hold true? Or has the atmosphere, tropes, and themes succumbed to the dark side?

I wonder how long it'll take readers to see which motifs and devices I used to haunt them. Not the story. Not the other characters. Them. The plot and characters have moved on already. The reader is the only one left to have the memory of meaning, so I wonder how long it'll take for you to see it.

I changed my profile pic. I think with most situations in the world currently, now is the time to shout back. To stand up straight as companies and the government try to stop you down. Lying down and taking it hasn't helped, and it certainly won't help now.

Okay, yeah, my book is heavy and dark and political. But did you know its lovely and lighthearted and warm and intense and tender. Can one not have gore and have their smut too? Can one not have the perils of a realm on a characters shoulders and the perils of love on their heart?

The villain of my book (The Black Throne) may be a murderer, but he draws the line at lying to his lover 😤 And you know what? His lover accepts his honest, murderous, psychotic self (they match each other's freak) and i think that's really sweet 🙂↕️

Several people told me that going back to physical goods is the solution to getting art around paypros. It's well-meaning, but again, we can't loophole our way out of this. They're coming for everything. We have to stop running and stand and fight. Call your reps and demand protection. Call paypros.
r/AnimeFigures user pinged HobbyLink Japan after noticing 18+ anime figures missing. In response, HLJ said, "due to recent changes in our operations, we have made the decision to remove all adult-oriented items from our website."

I love how my mom was so happy her teenager wanted books that she went and got me The Captive Prince trilogy, no hesitation, no questions, no doubt, and now it's my favorite trilogy and one of my biggest inspirations.
Thanks mom for blindly trusting your kid 🫶 (we joke about this often lol)
