I can't think of any specific acts of kindness, but most of my queer characters (let's be real, they're pretty much all queer lol) are kind people. But Captain Artemis Long, a polyam trans man with who lives in their hometown, takes a lot of trans people in the community under his wing

Oh Éd was a little nightmare 😆 With good reason, but still. They definitely had a rebellious childhood, at least until they were adopted
Letti, on the other hand, was a perfect little angel. She was definitely a good influence on Éd lol

There's something they call the "endless war" because it lasted over a hundred years. The cohort (mafia) that have covertly run North America split up because of a dispute over a woman. Now, the country is split along the Mississippi River, and wizards who cross it are often killed

Oh gods, like a two? I mean there's hope in the end but my characters are trying to catch a criminal that has enforcers (cops) and the dean of the university covering up for him so figuring out a way to circumvent the dirty enforcers is... Something 😅

Éd is definitely Drinking Coffee in A Burning Building Stressed but they hide it, uh, relatively well lol. Letti is pretty stressed, too, but her stress comes later in the story than Éd's

I mean, there are a few, but I think my favorite is how shifters came about. It happened various ways in different cultures but most were blessed by gods or goddesses (all of which exist). The Olean (type of shifter) were blessed by an ancient goddess in Gaul before it was France

I chose to make queerness somewhat accepted but not 100% because I wanted to show a kind of juxtaposition between "normal" society and the parts of society that are less accepted (like werewolves and other shifters) and how they treat fellow "othered" people. It's also like 1968 lol

Idk if this counts but several of my trans/queer characters become parents after their main story. In fact, the first time I "met" my main characters was a short story I wrote where they were adopting three additional kids who were orphaned. The whole novel kinda sprung up around that

I'm a bit late, sorry 😅 I'm Zena (all pronouns), a queer, disabled, ND writer, wife, and cat mom
My WIP is about a nonbinary shapeshifter and their adoptive werewolf family. Werewolves in the book are based on wild wolves tho so only the antagonist is obsessed with the dominance stuff

I finally have a link to share! My short story was published in the Splendor anthology this week. Read Éd and Letti's first meeting, when an orphaned Éd is adopted by their new family and learns about their fated mate. There are tons of other fantastic stories, too!

Definitely tricky 😅 I've been *really* struggling with this pain flare-up and the weather change. Chronic pain is such BS 🫠
There were some treats tho! My short story was published on Tuesday! 🎉 And I've been having tons of fun playing the Starfall TTRPG and reading Starfall books!
We're at the end! How did your month go? Was it a treat, or tricky?

Well, Éd does try to keep their investigation a secret for a bit, but I feel like their skeletons are more literal? Unprocessed grief is a big motivator for them
Letti is sunshine, rainbows, and anxiety all rolled into a human 😆 She's a pretty open book. And she does love books lol
Does your MC have any skeletons in the closet? Secrets they don't want getting out?

Okay, I have no idea what bugbears are 😅 but going off context clues from other replies...
There's someone attacking people on campus and both the enforcers and the dean of the university are doing everything they can to cover it up. People are scared but unsure if they should be
Are there any bugbears (objects of dread, sources of fear) in your WIP?

One of my favorite characters is Letti and Éd's cousin, PJ. He has a crush on Lucha, a lion shifter. Lucha has a crush on him. The poor boys are hopeless but I love them so much ❤️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

It's been another absolutely horrible pain week, I'm having an awful flare-up, but I accomplished most of my goals this week so I'll take it 🤷 I also signed up for two November writing challenges so we'll see how that goes lol. Fingers crossed this flare ends like, tomorrow 😩🤞
Check in day! How was your week?

I still don't have a link to share (hopefully Tuesday! 🤞)
But I did want to say that my post yesterday was a trick. My TTRPG character stole Cookie the wyvern. She's mentioned in my lovely friend Lily Seabrooke's novel Spellbound! It's releasing chapter by chapter on her patreon 👇

AITA for uhh, borrowing a wyvern?
I (18nb) borrowed a wyvern (no clue how old she is) and we became friends so now we go on adventures together sometimes. She enjoys death drops and is a *huge* fan of racing. Anyone. For any reason. But the enforcers keep saying I stole her 😕 AITA?
AITA - Trick edition - write an AITA up and let others guess if it's a trick or really happens in your story!

Ooh, probably their school uniforms...which I have been considering changing so I'm not gonna detail them lol.
Aside from that... Probably some kind of band t-shirt and jeans for Éd, and a flowy hippie outfit for Letti - bell-bottoms, big sleeves, whole thing. And her glasses, maybe
Tell us what would be included in a costume kit for your characters!

Mickey bumps my shoulder. “You good, sis?” Away from home, his face is a comfort—papa’s eyes, mama’s hair color, even though it’s styled in his silly Elvis updo.
“Yeah,” I nod, probably too quickly.
Those familiar eyes scrutinize me, narrowing to wrinkled slits. “Okay..."
Line share day! Today's theme: silly!
