will 2026 be the year I get the opportunity to work on a sapphic book art?
Ryan is leaning forward, outside a painting frame, their lips close to brushing Rose's who is sitting over the frame, as their hand touches her chin. Ryan is wearing renaissance era clothing from her time, while Rose is donning a victorian gown. The frame is decorated with red roses and hawthorn flowers (the latter being a reference to Ryan's full current name, Ryan Hawthorne). An artwork based on Romeo and Juliet by Frank Dicksee. Ipomoea is wrapping her arms around Reignn, stopping them for one last kiss as they are sitting over the balustrade. Reignn embraces her back, their lips almost close to touching. On the background a city can be seen, with mountains in the distance. Camellia is holding Ametista in her arms as she pierces her heart with her sword. Ametista looks peaceful, her arms wrapped around Camellia's shoulders. In the background there is a scene from their past. Camellia and Ametista are kissing in the gardens, a warm light pouring over the scenery. The artwork has a golden frame with ornamental swords at the bottom. On the right, Thalia leans forward Eirwen with a red flower in her hand. On the left, Eirwen reaches out, her fingers delicately brushing against the petals while her left hand brushes through Thalia's hair. Around them winter is thawing, flowers and foliage emerging still covered in a little snow.

Deep in post for a short film that I wrote and performed in about online games, arcades, the joy of Trans friend groups and Black Trans Lesbianism, and life beyond motherhood. Slowly but surely making our way to festival submissions!
A movie poster for the short film “Guild in Real Life” by Jasmine Brimsmayd, which includes a photo of a computer screen in pink smoke, and two Black Trans Women’s hands surrounding a D20, with the acronym for the film inscribed on it. A mouse and keyboard as well as other game icons reminiscent of fantasy MMORPGS surround the poster

#booksky question. What are your favorite story character pairings?

I'll say it. Gimme some star crossed lovers. If they're lovers. Their stars better be crossed 💫✨💖
