Yep, I made a frutiger aero soft soap alienā¦ š§š š¤š«§š§¼
Yes yes i know love is love. But they are still killing CHILDREN. over this.
The other day i bought this yarn cause thatās obviously the trans flag, and I just saw that this colour is called ālifeā! Iām gonna cry
@this-is-trans-joy š„¹š„¹š„¹š³ļøāā§ļøš³ļøāā§ļø
This is trans joy!!!
I could have sworn that someone had already brought this up but I can't seem to find it, so I thought I'd let you know:
Endophobia is an already-existing term, it means hatred/disdain of one's own ethnic group. I think that endomisia would be a more accurate term for describing discrimination of endogenic systems.
Yeah Iād have to agree. From now on Iāll use endomisia
Since I see a lot of hate from traumagenics towards the Endo community, I wanted to make a post myself to spread some positivity :] I don't usually post these kinds of stuff on my blog, so if you're looking for these sorts of posts I'm not the blog for you, it's just a one-off post because I wanna
Shout out to plurals whose Plurality is caused by trauma, but uses the endogenic label to distance themselves from it
Shout out to plurals who have trauma, but their plurality has nothing to do with it
Shout out to plurals whose plurality is only somewhat related to their trauma
Shout out to plurals that dissociate
Shout out to plurals who don't dissociate
Shout out to plurals with no trauma at all
Shout out to spontaneously formed plurals
Shout out to stress formed plurals
Shout out to involuntarily formed systems
Shout out to willed systems and tulpamancers
Shout out to mixed origins and complex systems who don't quite fit popular plurality labels
And of course, shout out to any plural that has to see their identity being fakeclaimed, mocked, or otherwise misunderstood and misused.
You're all loved, and we care about you. We hope you have a good day/night, and we hope you find your way in the world, with or without your plurality, in a path that's a fit for you.
Did you mug one of the peacocks on the mountain?

Year of the Mer
Book: Year of the Mer by L.D. Lewis Publishes: April 7, 2026
If there is ever a way to sell me on a book, the words āsapphicā and āfantasyā are gonna immediately catch my attention. I was pitched this ARC with those being in the first sentence and all else I glanced was some inspiration from The Little Mermaid, whether it Hans Christian Andersenās or Disneyās, it didnāt matter because I knew I'd eat it up. I read a mermaid princess book a long time ago and was heartbroken it didnāt lead to her getting with her loyal best friend and instead the merman who showed up in book 3. I needed my sapphic mermaids like ten years ago.
Let me settle the Little Mermaid expectations before hyping you for this book because I need others to read this novel so I can talk about it with them. The inspiration is a sort of far off continuation, the future descendant of Ariel and how the world of mers and humans went on with a mer princess becoming queen to a human land. While it took me a while to put the pieces together, I must confess it was because I was an idiot who did not even recognize how Queen Arielleās name being similar to Ariel until about 75% through the book (I know, I know, but I glanced back through the book and saw everything else tie together, so trust me on this one). This isnāt a retelling by any means, and I love it so much more for that. (Frankly, Iām a little tired of retellings lately).
The book takes a bit longer than I expected to setup but in retrospect, it actually works out much better. It sets up the political tension in a period of peace time that doesnāt feel like itāll last. It sets up Princess Yemayaās ambitions, her relations to each of the characters the support the Crown, including her romance with her loyal very personal guard, Nova. Thankfully, history isnāt shoved all in the beginning and is instead interspersed throughout the novel, coming up when relevant to provide context. The twists throughout the plot feel well supported but also not too predictable; there were a handful of twists that I did not predict myself.
The tone of the book is dark and fairly serious with many brief moments of characters poking fun or taunting each other that brings a levity that neatly breaks up the heavy overtones of the story. Bloodthirst is a common running theme throughout the novel that really intrigued me. Running parallel to this bloodthirst is the consistent warnings to Yemi to not be tempted or cave into rage or revenge, and yet within her is a vindictiveness with an underlying thirst for blood. Yemiās temptation and chase for this is something many marginalized peoples feel but learn to tame so early on. All around Yemi, she is surrounded by people who have no luxury to right any wrongs they are done. Yemi, being a princess, is too privileged in her incoming power to recognize what consequences, what life others will have to go through in the aftermath of whatever revenge she intends to exact. Yet at the same time, there is a satisfaction to following Yemi on this crimson path. Where the path leads and what happens on it, Iāll leave you to read and find out.
As much as this is a fantasy story about merpeople and an impulsive princess with her loyal lady knight, it is also a tale of feminine rage, of power, and of revenge. I was also lucky enough to obtain an ALC for this book, and Janina Edwards brings a smoothness like breath below an ocean current to this book that I thoroughly enjoyed. The teasing between Yemi and Nova was sweet and fun in Edwardsā voice, and I loved her voice for Ursla. Absolutely phenomenal job. This book is amazing in both print and audio format for either audience. Anyone looking for an unhinged main character, look no further.
I want to give a thank you to L.D. Lewis for bringing this awestriking work into the world. While I place no immediate pressure, I truly hope to see more of the land and waves of this murky, bloody story (if there is a continuation). Thank you, Edelweiss and Saga Press for gifting me this eARC in exchange for an honest review. Additionally, thank you Libro.fm and Simon & Schuster Audio for a nice glimpse into the ALC. I will absolutely be hyping up this book in my bookstore and to all my reader friends, especially as I think this will make a nice dark start to the warmer seasons of this year. Thank you for reading and supporting my blog! A reminder to you, dear reader, that in this vast ocean of stars and cosmos, you matter to me. Stay hydrated this season and keep cool. Until next time, Iāll be reading!

Moss'd in Space
Book: Moss'd in Space by Rebecca Thorne Publishes: July 7, 2026
Cozy scifi truly is the future. I admit I was hesitant at first - the cozy fantasy subgenre has started to wear down on me, honestly. Iāve had some of the most difficult few months in my life, and this book provided not only a comforting place within the Destitute but also gave me the wonder of exploring new places in the galaxy, the good warm feeling of having completed an adventure, and the peace to know that no matter how difficult it gets, Iāll be okay.
I found myself dropping all my other books to find solace in this one, and it truly came to me in a time I really needed it. Even so, I will give a thoroughly honest review. I do love this book a lot, and I will absolutely sing its praises as always with Rebecca Thorne. I very much enjoyed the Tomes & Tea series, and this exploration surprised me. The aspects I found lacking/disliked in Tomes & Tea are completely gone in this book. Threats actually feel legitimate and the stakes feel real in many ways in this book. There isnāt a lot of safety nets already in place when risky decisions are made, which makes those decisions hold more weight when the characters take them.
The worldbuilding feels simultaneously more fleshed out and not overbuilt. There is a healthy balance between the storytelling and worldbuilding, which I appreciate not being drowned in it within the first few chapters. Details actually work their way into narration fairly naturally in most cases, which made the read easy.
I do run into one common issue I have with Thorneās writing usually which is that the ending always feels a little rushed. Not as in it was written super fast, but - like many other endings Thorne has written - this one also feels like the pace picks up way faster than any other part of the book in the last ~50 pages. Some of the characters feels a little flat or gimmicky at times outside of a single deeper moment, but the main cast of characters all feel pretty fleshed out. I found myself particularly liking Lyric, while they are a main character, the details and personality just made me so happy and my heart set aflame. Nasra and her alien species really drew me in, too; I found myself absorbing every little detail about her, though (again, outside of a singular moment), she felt a bit flat/2-dimensional as a character (though that may just be my personal reading).
I can easily see the comparison to Murderbot Diaries in terms of character interaction and the overall feeling of each character, but they and their dialogue has Thorneās own flavor to it, which is nice and carries a little more diva energy and flair for drama in a wonderful way. I think people who enjoy Murderbot would quickly find a favorite character in this book, but even for those who somehow didnāt find Murderbot taking up their every waking thought, the cozy atmospheric moments tied with everything else that goes down in this book make it easy to love.
As said, I do plan to hype this book up at my bookstore and book clubs. Despite my complaints, I did enjoy every moment through this book. I really appreciated this book being here in this time of my life especially when comfort and coziness is exactly what I need. Thank you for always being the awesome you, Rebecca Thorne! What an icon. Thank you NetGalley and Bramble Books for gifting me this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I look forward to this release and I want all my cottagecore sapphics all over this book, including all the masc cottagecore sapphics (I see you hiding in the back, this starship wouldnāt run without yāall <3).
Thank you all for reading and supporting my blog. A reminder to you, dear reader, that in this starry & sometimes lonely galaxy, you matter to me and you are never alone. I hope you take a good moment to relax and enjoy the air on our lovely Earth, to appreciate the life we have. You are made of stardust, made of the very material that makes everything. So as you love the stars, love thyself. Until next time, Iāll be reading!

ā¬ļøTimelapseā¬ļø
on āweird girlā fiction, microgenre, and the unbearable whiteness of weirdness + a rec list
Throughout history and in our modern society, women are supposed to be: thin, silent, chipper, happy, pale, dressed modestly but not too modestly, sexy but not too sexy, young, reserved, sane, able-bodied, fertile, mothering, selfless, humble, restrained, and, above all, white. She has to be a She, she has to be cis, she has to wear makeup and dresses, skirts; she cannot under any circumstances be described as smelly, loud, brash, dark, or crude. She cannot wrinkle, she cannot stink, she cannot cause a scene. A woman is always religious, a woman is always married or seeking to be married, a mother or hoping to be a mother. To stray from this path is to become weird. While I personally do not believe that any act that subverts the status quo makes one queer, I do think it makes you weird. Thereās an honor to that, to stepping outside of the very thin, very pale line set by mainstream culture. To exist as oneās truest, boldest self, to exist as a human being with warts and farts and smells, to be unusual and to react with the madness, the anger that this world we live in inspires is brave. It is weird to be brave, and it is brave to be weird.
