This powerful piece from Jade Wilson is a reminder in troubled times that if we do not find love and family in the homes we are born into, it is possible to build and nurture it for ourselves. We all deserve care and community. www.scarleteen.com/read/relat...

One HUNDRED percent. Power is never surrendered without a fight. That's literally what all of this boils down to: white men perceiving the loss of exclusivity on all fronts and throwing a generational tantrum.
It was always about eliminating who they perceived as "competition"

In Prophecy #71, Zedenko eats an edible root he hasn't tried before, and the anaphylaxis nearly kills him. He's only saved by Gallara's knowledge of medicinal herbs, and her having them on hand because she has food allergies, too - she just refuses to say which ones.

Grinks & Co. started out as a sexual fantasy purely for my own use. Then I accidentally started naming characters and the story quickly became too much to keep inside my brain. Now I'm 150 pages and six chapters in, with plenty more to come (heh heh).

Was your OC designed with the intent of making porn of them or were they originally for a more SFW purpose or setting before being drawn/written that way?

Day 3
None of the MCs of Grinks & Co. believe in soulmates. Metaphysical ideas like fate and spirits don't come up in the story, and the idea that people are expected to be together goes against their (and the story's) philosophy of freedom and togetherness by choice.

Evisto might be kind of sympathetic, in that he has a pretty arguable point behind what he does, but it's still rooted in entitlement. Still, he's aggressive, domineering, and physically huge, and some people are into that.

Antagonist day! Are they likeable?
Would it surprise you if your antagonist was someone's favorite character?
Were they written to be cathartically hateable? Sympathetic but flawed? Somewhere in between?

In StS, Drohim is almost divorced; Seff doesn't know why and she knows not to ask, but she can tell that Drohim is over his husband.
In Grinks & Co., the MCs are friends first and FWBs a very close second. Over time, though, they really do fall in love with each other.
