“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

vampirism as a metaphor for queerness. hunger as a metaphor for repressed desire. immortality as an expression of profound loneliness.

I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.

Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.

Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.

🔥 CHAPTER 31 🔥 OF A VISION OF FIRE (FREE VERSION) LIVE ON SUBSTACK!!

Chapter 31: The Truth Will Set You Free, Part 3

The pit in Lara’s stomach only grows as she returns to the dorm in Jackie’s jeep. 

The lobby and hallways are barren. All that remains are leftover markers, paper, posters. It helps ease the swirling pain in her stomach.

The entire dorm went to the march. That’s over a hundred students. Because of her.

And it’s because of what I just did that they will survive tonight.

Maybe.

You've made it to the end of ACT IV! Only one act left o_O

Chapter 28: An Heir Crashes a Pack Meeting

When Helio awakens, he’s alone in Mari’s apartment, the morning light streaming through her open curtains. His eyes land on the coffee table, where a medication bottle, a glass of water, and sticky note wait for him.

Going to church and then the meeting. Don’t take more than 6 pills today. DO NOT mix with alcohol or I will kill you myself. –M

"Queer space" as in "this space is created with the needs of queer people in mind and you should expect to encounter queerness here", not "you have to be queer enough to be allowed in"

"Queer space" as in "this space centers queerness", not "queers only"

🔥 CHAPTER 27 🔥 OF A VISION OF FIRE (FREE VERSION) LIVE ON SUBSTACK!!

Chapter 27: Wasted Vampires Can Still Dance

Crimson looks dead. The neon lights in the windows are off, there’s no bright red flashing from the inside. There’s no thumpa thumpa when she approaches the door. It’s silent. 

Lara enters alone....
