She's having a moment with that rock formation. It's giving "I've been hiking in this tiered skirt for three days and I am now one with the sun."

Only $1.00 to unlock the mysteries of the cold! She looks so optimistic, so hopeful, while handling those blueberries. She has no idea that "tips on home freezing" in this era usually meant "put it in a bag and pray it doesn't become a monolithic block of ice-flavored mystery by December."

ace books: sex-neutral/indifferent & sex-favourable aces
I usually only note this down if it's explicitly stated in the book or marketing, so this is generally in that context - there are quite a few books around that are vaguer about it because of fantasy contexts or unsure-yet-to-explore-in-safe-relationship contexts. This is also mostly excluding explicitly demi/grey characters unless it's actually discussed rather than assumed favourable by default. Also - I have only started taking more detailed notes in recent years so there's definitely some I've forgotten! I also know there can be quite a difference between neutral/indifferent and favourable but - aforementioned vagueness, it's not always clear.
sex-repulsed/averse post here
The Meister of Decimen City - sex neutral ace woman MC
Cage of Starlight - sex-neutral ace man MC (1/2)
A Milky Way Home - 1 sex-neutral ace MC, 1 sex-favourable (uses the term 'sex-positive') demi-aroace MC
Thaw - sex neutral bi ace woman MC (1/2)
The Murder Next Door - sex neutral ace woman MC (1/2)
Lays of the Hearth-Fire - high fantasy series, grey-aroace coded MC who's probably sex neutral/indifferent
Kaikeyi - historical fantasy, aroace likely sex-neutral MC
Her Own Happiness - probably sex neutral (though jokes about leaning repulsed at one point) ace man MC (1/2)
Dom & Mor - slice of life romance webtoon, grey-ace sex neutral MC
The End Crowns All - YA historical fantasy, sex-favourable ace lesbian MC (1/2)
Two Dark Moons - YA fantasy, one of the 3 MCs (in later books) is likely sex-neutral
The Romantic Agenda - contemporary romance, sex-favourable ace woman MC
Hallowed Be Her Flesh - historical horror/romance novella, sex-favourable woman MC & cosmic being MC (both repulsed in other contexts)
Kiss Me, Maybe - contemporary romance, greysexual lesbian MC (explicitly discusses figuring out if she's sex-favourable)
Looking For Love In All The Haunted Places - probably sex neutral ace woman MC
Shake Out The Ghosts - ace or greyace man MC, probably neutral
(these last 2 don't state an exact position - but I'm noting them here because they're adult romances with ace/acespec MCs who aren't necessarily repulsed but don't have sex within the story - since most grey/demi adult romances do)

Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.
Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didn’t know how much I didn’t know!
This is an amazing resource, not only for artists, but for writers too! I love this!
{ID - tweet from @/Iron_Spike that reads, “Black Hair for Non-Black Artists: a Cheat Sheet Thread. Hi, folks! Just spur-of-the-moment decided to put together some reference for folks who want to draw/model black characters in their work, but arent confident they won’t make simple, obvious mistakes w/r/t black hair. END ID}
I noticed in the comments that some people can’t see the thread, so I took screenshots for y'all!
More will come in reblogs, since tumblr has an image limit

In every way this is set up to be a joke like any other short video, it even uses the trope of main character in a wig to represent their mom, but it isn't funny at all. It's just sweet and nice
genuinely I'm so sick of people wanting all fiction to be ethical. can we all just get a little gross with it. the point of fiction is that it's not real. we can be unethical in fiction; same goes with being perverted with fiction, being unrealistic with fiction, and being grotesque with fiction. not all fiction has to be ethical, not every character has to be ethical, and that's okay. can we stop with the puritanism. be gross. be unrealistic. be whatever. if I don't like it it's not my business as long as we're all clear that its fictional.

people in the replies are going "what about books glorifying unethical things" and "what if it's propaganda" and you, my friends, are who this comic was made for

Humans are space oddities because most aliens can't understand why they're afraid of what they're afraid of.
Alien #1: So it approached the Afhd'tggfh without perceiving any threat, despite the size and presence of biological weaponry?
Alien #2: The human wished to make physical contact. It seemed to have confused the beast with an Earth creature called a 'pup-ee'.
Alien #1: Yet it shrieked and became violent at the sight of ambassador Tcktcktck?
Alien #2: Yes! It would have been an intergalactic incident if the ambassador did not have such good humour, xik had come across humans before and understood xiks likeness to a 'speye'der' was startling to most humans.
Alien #1: For what reason? The human is many times larger and could easily vanquish or run from such a foe.
Alien #2: The human could not explain.
Alien #1: -deep sigh-
