i’m not sure how to form a coherent question here really🤔 so, i need a background for a smiling person lit from behind that gives the whole thing a sense of unease. i can paint a background, but how do i tweak it to make it seem off? like a mirage maybe? what instruments should i play around with?

you know this subgenre of gay lit where the narrator is Yearning for the past love? CMBYN, Lie with Me and the like? love this genre. was looking for one about women for a long time. here it is. and it’s great. >>

i decided to use 2021 flag for colour order but pretend the intersex flag is beige/grey, i’m so sorry, there are just so many beige books

>>and the banter is ample—that’s just how fanfics are by nature. i also didn’t understand why the Countess has to sexually harass every man in her vicinity and why author thought it was funny. 2,5 stars maybe?
