A samurai must put duty before desire, death before dishonor.

But love doesn't always care for duty or honor.

A Path of a Thousand Blossoms is a short story collection of lesbian samurai drama! If that sounds like something you'd be into, check the link below.

I think "show, don't tell" is actually the writing advice I disregard most often. Though it might be because I'm writing short stories and in the right places just telling my audience a conversation was had works better.

It wasn't surprising because I've waited months to write this. However, I finally got to the scene and I had a moment afterwards where I went: "I just did that!"

I'm proud of this because it canonises Sir Corbyn being a trans man. Let me know what y'all think.

#QueerPrompts

The YA fantasy features a queer romance between the MC Helena and a mermaid/gargoyle, Kia.

There are definitely moments of joy in their relationship, but to avoid spoilers, Ill just say theres a beach scene (in Hell.)

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

The thing about Sir Corbyn being trans is that I've had that planned longer than Ata's name. There just hasn't been a place to bring it up. It's a relief to have this finally be canon. Also fuck terfs + transphobes Raven & Bear will always be queer.

So yeah, he's a good example of queer fatherhood.

February 12th – defense

Ok, this is probably a spoiler, but I have spoiled this already and I like the moment, so here it is!

Fox and Av’ry haven’t seen each other in a while.

#DawnsBlood

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
“Shellryn’s gold teeth,” Av’ry breathed. “It really is you, isn’t it?” With two quick steps, he closed the gap between them and folded her into a hug, lifting her off the ground. “It’s good to see you, too, Ave.” Fox replied into his shoulder. “But there’s no reason to bring the Eleven into this.” “Give me a break! I’ve never seen anyone come back from the dead before.” “So, you’ve been saving the oaths for a special occasion?” She smirked. “Maybe.” Releasing Fox from the hug, Av’ry took a step back, held her at arm’s length, and studied her for a long moment. Then, he punched her square in the jaw. “Two years, Fox! I thought you were dead for two years!” “Yeah. Sorry about that. In my defense, I am as surprised as you are that I’m alive.” Fox straightened, rubbing her cheek ruefully. “Nice right hook, by the way.” “I held back,” he grumbled. “And don’t change the subject.”

Diolch yn fawr, your kind words always mean a lot! I think the interesting thing about it is I don't present an unrealistic world. There are bad people and bad things happen. I simply focus on a person who is proactively making it better and the little girl who wants to be like him.

I'm also including some new lore about Sir Corbyn here!

An excerpt from The Eisteddfod (Raven & Bear: 6) by Bramble, in black text on a white background. It features Sir Corbyn discussing his first time having a period pre-transition. An excerpt from The Knightbane's Prize (Raven & Bear: 1) by Bramble, in black text on a white background. The character Queen Ifon discusses how there have been distractions since she became ruler and affirms she can no long sire a child and could never bear one (inferring she is trans). An excerpt from Of Dina & Dan (Raven & Bear: 5) by Bramble in black text on a white background. It features Ata becoming emotional at a gift, after which Sir Corbyn and Queen Ifon discuss the girl's sleeping arrangements which leads to some flirtation between the knight and queen. It should be noted the King Tewdrig mentioned here is the king of a different kingdom to Queen Ifon and not a marriage partner in any way.

So guys, I'm like really sick. The good news is I think the video is really close to complete. In fact I could probably upload it now and things would be fine, but I want to tweak some stuff for your enjoyment. Long story short I'm a little worried to take a break from it but might need to.
