SailorMoonXHarryPotter A mage labors to avenge their sister's death when they unwittingly rescue a boy from kidnapping. Now the boy is set on learning magic to seek the truth of his abduction. Only problem: magic is forbidden and his master is only a trainee! #SFFpit #YA #F #LGBT

Hawley's fake outrage was such fun
Bridges to Hawley: I want to recognize that your line of questioning is transphobic
my guy said "i love yall too" ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I got a lot of feedback about "Let me DL the music from Myths of the Realm!" so I tried to make it happen secretly while I was at work. U can DL the soundtrack when your country hits June 22. パッチ6.1の音源、ゲットできるようにしといたよ! sqex.lnk.to/LJrIFJ #FFXIV #FF14
I LOOOOOOOOVED Cat Walker in the same way I LOVED Chat Blanc both good. all versions of Adrien are good
I'm writing the side story of my favorite characters~ I love them so much!
A sketch of my character Erick Bastion, my favorite chara in the YA novel I'm querying. He's the best friend of the other protag, gets dragged into the other protag's tomfoolery, and has a secret that shakes his bf's world #amquerying #writingcommunity #illustration #YAfantasy

I commute 45 min to work every week day, mon-fri, for $15/hr. I can't afford to commute to work and I can't afford to leave my job because I don't have the cushion to job hunt. It annoys me when people say "$15 is too much money" but also "get a new job" in the same breath #gas

how is it, 10 hours of my day, every day, is committed to work-related activities? who told the previous generations that this is what living is? Who is living? Also f our senators for thinking they're working hard when they don't actually but fight with each other for clout
a cute picrew of my OCs in a book i'm querying <3 far left, Erick, is best friends with top right, Tamrin. Bottom right is Ari, who is the unlucky battle mage trainee who has to deal with these two chaotic bffs. #novel #amquerying #OCs #YAnovel #queerlit picrew.me/image_maker/643839
I just submitted an Adult Fantast novel in an open submission but it feels like YA open submissions are super duper rare? I have way more finished YA novels than Adult Fantasy as it turns out XD
I really love the concept of YA, but I also wish NA were more popular. So many themes and situations seen in YA would be much suited to protagonists 25-32. Though one can imagine that age range seems "old" I feel like people this age need hope too. To be told failing isnt the end

or maybe that's just me. Maybe *I* need to be told that making mistakes in my youth doesn't mean the rest of my life is over and I dont mean mistakes like assault or murder, things like that. I mean things like losing friendships, failing out of college, depression and anxiety

I mean, like I also write NA so I can explore those things, but I also write fantasy, so how real-life problems are coded to suit the fantastical world build is my challenge to overcome but I do it, because I need it. I am also in quite a depressive mode and the will to live= 0
Writing YA in this day and age is fun, because the age range is far more interested in saving the planet and shit which makes writing for them easier XD like, same lil-cuz, let's save the planet together #amwriting #writingcommunity
