A little gender exploration from Without Wings

I really love Mael (a trans man) from Under the Dragon Moon by Mawce Hanlin. I think Mawce does a wonderful job at touching on the trauma trans people harbor around their gender in a society that isn’t accepting. The communication between new sexual partners when one is trans is also lovely
#SFFChat Q3: Shout out a trans writer or artist whose work you admire (or a trans character from a trans author's work!).

Val’hoon is a queernormative world. Trans people are accepted unconditionally and honestly most people would consider themselves (at least in part) gender queer. It’s common practice (and considered rude if you don’t) to introduce yourself with both your name and pronouns.
#SFFChat Q2: What is the status of trans and gender nonconforming people in your world? If you haven’t thought about it yet, use this moment to reflect!

Gonna have to make a thread for this.
Minno is one of the main characters in SoBB and they’re nonbinary. They are a dwarf and a follower of the saint of truth. Minno is a very competent spell caster, loves good, and very much wants to rekindle their relationship with Vasil

I’m very late oops, but I saw the questions and really wanted to answer them.

I’m Lilly, fantasy author and sleep deprived puppy parent.

I’ve been really inspired by the worldbuilding and design of the Pillars of Eternity games and Avowed.
#SFFChat is here!

Intro: Tell us about yourself & share a videogame that’s influenced you! Or, if no games have influenced you, share a less-discussed form of inspiration!

My goal to write a little every day this month kind of imploded (I’ve just been so busy and exhausted with school) but I’m hoping I can find time to write today while the puppy naps. I’m finally at the scene that started False Knight, and I’m really excited to write it.

A new animal has entered the menagerie that is my home. Meet Toby!
His hobbies include pickup up leaf, beating up Mr. Frog, peeing on the carpet after he just peed outside, sleeping with his head in your armpit, and trying to put everything in his mouth.

All souls enter The Boneyard upon death. They first pass through the Maelstrom, then through The Sea of Stars, and then into the Boneyard. Afterlife in the Boneyard is a sort of limbo state where they exist for a century and then are reborn on Val’hoon (with no memories of past lives). 1/4

I finally finished writing the sequel & closing installment to my dark fantasy duology about a woman with missing memories and hostile magic facing her traumatic origins to save or doom her fractured world.

Coming in 2026! 🥀

False Knight
Alois: Overplans and when things don't go to plan she panics and doesn't know how to adjust her actions.

SoBB
Liadan: Doesn't know how to express her emotions
Vasil: Puts the needs of others before his own
Minno: Brutally honest
Aila: Blindly follows her god/father
What's the biggest flaw in your main character? #WritingPrompt

Haven't posted much #art lately so here's a post with some of it, both pencil & the digitally drawn.

Really, the only difference between how I make my #DigitalArt on CSP vs #sketches is that I'm not afraid to mess it up by coloring it. I probably should use more effects for polish but I don't.

I have recovered from the witch’s curse (sore throat) thanks to the elixirs my fiancé scavenged for me (cough drops, Sudafed, throat coat tea, and Annie’s golden lentil soup)

Things that have made me cry (in a good way) in the month since Songs of Broken Bells has been released:

-Receiving kind/thoughtful reviews from authors I admire
-Someone doing an unboxing video
-People telling me they relate to Líadan and her struggles 😭
-The ending making several people cry

Few things for you lovely weirdos of #Boosky on this even more lovely Saturday morning.

The Backwards Knight is one of 17 books available as part of "Burn it down!"

This is a anti-authoritarian/fight against the man bundle. We figured...it's on theme.

I think it’s probably a tie between Vasil and Minno
Which one of your OCs do you think is the favorite of your followers? 😍

#NovemberWorldbuilders

The Vernach Depths is a large lake in Vieland that is the deepest lake in all of Val'hoon. It has an underwater tunnel that connects to The Leviathan Sea, and so occasionally they get very large, very dangerous monsters surfacing in the lake. It's also a saltwater lake!
Welcome to our third week, #NovemberWorldbuilders! This time we're talking about important RIVERS or LAKES in our world! But, tbh, any sufficiently important body of water will do. Also, don't feel obliged to answer; sometimes I cover niche topics that aren't for everyone!

So remember how I said it'd been a minute since I drew anything on paper?

Haha, guess what I did tonight? (Turned out damn good, too.)

(If this gets labeled, let it be known that I'm being silenced for my love of man tits, lmaoo.)

I have been cursed by a witch (my throat is sore)
