Obsidian Musings

Bless you, if you've made it here. This blog is a multifandom mess. Fandoms include 911, The Mandalorian, Critical Role, Dimension 20, The Murderbot Diaries, Leverage, Elementary, Brooklyn Nine Nine, LotR, Firefly, Sailor Moon, and many others. I post A LOT of cute animals and babies, pictures of unfairly attractive celebrities, social justice posts, and pretty things that catch my eye. I REALLY like puns. On Wednesdays, I do No White Dude Wednesdays (NWDW) where I spam my dash with pictures and historical posts of POC and transgender people. Occasionally, I commit podfic. Also, I apparently do fanfiction now. I am also on Twitter and AO3.

Rebel Ever After: Black heroines deserve to be treasured with LaQuette

This week my guest is LaQuette, author of many contemporary romances including The King’s Pregnancy Proposition and the brand new rom-com Janae Sanders’ Second Time Around.

We talked about her Savvy, Sexy, and Single Club series about couples in their 40s that explores communication, healing and mental health. Then we discussed the beautiful ridiculousness of romance and the perils of expecting a character’s choices to be “plausible.” 

Plus: LaQuette told me about her Ph.D. research on representations of Black women in popular media and how stereotypes limit the types of stories Black romance authors are able to get published.

Bad Bunny after winning best música urbana album with “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” at the 2026 Grammy Awards:

“I’m going to say ICE out. We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans. Also, I will say to people, I know it’s tough to know not to hate on these days and I was thinking sometimes, we get contaminados [contaminated], I don’t know how to say that in English. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people. We love our family, and that’s the way to do it. With love. Don’t forget that please. Thank you.”
