I would do this a human with shared cultural references, so I definitely wouldn't try with an alien.

#scribesandmakers 29. Why do you like your genre(s)/style(s)?
It is affirming to see women in mutual romantic relationships.
I like cute.
I also like dark, thus Dark Magical Realism x Yuri
I'm ace but alloromantic, so I like the lower-key sexual aspects of Yuri—low sex-high romance.

#scribesandmakers 3/12. Do you play games? If so, do they influence your creativity?

#scribesandmakers 10 Sept: Do you consider reading a creative activity? Why or why not?
Yes, your mind creates how the words would look. Same passage, and no two people will see it the same way.
The evidence is that movies and TV fill in that piece. Demanding less creativity.

#scribesandmakers 2025-08-22 Do you have a favorite texture? If so, can you describe it?
The texture of raw silk. Smooth with a natural satiny feel. Slight plush.
Silky is so often used in descriptions that it was hard to avoid, satin was the closest I could come.

#yuri is a pretty niche genre. It has grown in recent years, but that doesn't make it big. Add horror-adjacent to the mix, and it is a very selective market.
