I want to chat about this really crazy expectation that has absolutely EXPLODED in today's artist alleys, and I suppose art in general

SPIRITED AWAY x WICKED x HARRY POTTER (but gay) - by an LGBTQ+ author.

From sharing a room they don't want to share to facing down fate itself, and figuring out that prophecies are never, ever what they seem.

ACTUAL MAGIC:
Caspian is as far from a magical chosen one as you can get, which makes rooming with the ACTUAL Chosen One impossible. When romance blooms, can Arik's prophetic fate keep him and Caspian apart, or will the two discover that some magic is stronger than others?

It is your responsibility as an adult human being to unlearn and deconstruct the social conditioning that makes you harmful and dangerous to marginalized people. It's not your fault. It's not fair. But if you aren't working to do it, then you are part of the problem. ☕️💜

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.
