A drawing of the main characters in the poster’s fantasy romance. Lianna, a plus size woman with curly brown hair in a long midnight coat that’s embroidered with suns and moons. She sits on a bench staring looking at Fyrgus, a man with fox ears and long black hair dressed in a white tunic and pants with a long red velvet overcoat. He is kneeling next to her putting a flower in her hair staring back lovingly.

And another thing, I'm not entertaining any Sean Combs jokes until all of his victims find justice. That man is a monster!

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · Nov 20

Sean “Diddy” Combs was accused of sexual assault, rape and drugging victims in five lawsuits Tuesday, piling on to dozens of accusations the disgraced entertainment mogul has faced over the past year.

Lavish parties, brutal rapes described in new suits against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

New claims against Sean “Diddy” Combs include a 17-year-old alleged victim and a lavish July Fourth party.

Cayla @cylachrnse.bsky.social · Nov 17

(I want to preface It's not a widespread issue and other authors do it too, but I mostly read Black authors) I rarely DNF books but the quickest way to get me to DNF is an explicit assault scene. I don't think assaults should be written at the same level of detail as the consensual scenes.
