So in my Sunday DnD game, my cleric managed to use Divine Intervention to move some problematic mushroom people off a ship. Her bestie (*cough*crush*cough) may have run over and swung her up in the air while calling her the best cleric ever. So I had to draw that moment.
The best part was as I was rolling, the other players were talking about how unlikely it was that I would pull this off and get Hermes to intervene for us as well as how they'd never seen someone pull off a successful divine intervention. (Yes, I am worshipping Hermes in game and irl.) Then the roll popped up. So we screenshotted that shit.

I've been kinda hopping around in the creation of this one to the parts I have ideas for. But I do have some secrets hidden in here already. 1) we get a reference to who has Adelyte's sense of direction. 2) we get to see that yes, Hermes tricked her with a "magic flower" that is a crocus, and had her eat saffron to "awaken" her magic. 3) You get a glimpse of her future (aka, current campaign stuff) for a brief moment.
I may be working on an animatic about how my cleric first meets Hermes.

Reminder: the idea of "some people have exceptions to their sexuality" is a thinly veiled excuse for bi/homophobia and used to justify harassment to everyone, but especially ace, lesbians, bi+, and other non-straight sexualities. When you hear someone say this, call it out. People frequently use this to hide their own sexuality when they're not willing to accept it (which if you think it's that, be kind in your "hey, don't say that. It is really harmful."), or when they're trying to excuse their harassment of people who are not interested. I've known a straight girl who told a lesbian no and was then harassed with more advances with the excuse of "everyone has an exception." I've known lesbians harassed by straight men with this. I know ace people harassed with "I'll be the one exception." It's a toxic take that has more to do with that person having issues than it being reality.
Is sexuality complex? Yes. But the take "people have exceptions to their sexuality" is not the way to express that some people aren't as perfectly straight as they appear. Because the way it shakes out beyond harassment is this idea gets people subjected to "corrective" assaults (because the assaulter will magically be the "one exception" who makes the assaulted a "normal" sexuality) or denied asylum (because "maybe this relationship is an exception so you could plausibly hide your sexuality in your homophobic country of origin"). This idea does real harm. Just go "sexuality is complex" and leave it at that.
And reminder: you will only form deeper connections with about 150 people in your lifetime. 1 in 150 is pretty good odds of there being another person somewhere that you could be attracted to when there are 8.3 billion people alive. So maybe don't act like it's impossible that someone out there that you may never know would tick all your boxes. And even if I limit it to the people you will meet: 150 out of 80000 isn't too bad either. Your exceptions exist in a greater quantity than you want to acknowledge on a planet with 6.2 billion adults. Grow up and accept that maybe you're not straight and just picky.

Look, I'm not going to say this is a happy historical thing. It's not. But I do think it needs to be kept as it is as a reminder of the horrific capabilities of humanity. Not remade in order to destroy our environment more.
Since it has been a hot minute since I wrote my sapphic book reccs, I thought I would update with the ones I've read since.
The Honey Witch by Sydney J. Shields: I enjoyed this one for its take on magic and the story. We have a bi lead and a lesbian love interest. (Yay!!!) That said, the pacing was a bit rocky as it has a very slow start and the ending is kinda fast.
My favorite thing: reading a wonderful sapphic romance, going to the reviews, and seeing someone argue that you can't call it sapphic because the leads are bisexual women.
Yes. Please do continue to erase us from our spaces. It's so enjoyable to watch you argue that the people who helped coin that word don't deserve to be called it.
Do better.
Does anyone else find it annoying when a book makes a point to point out how heteronormative romance is as a genre... and then pull out some of the most heteronormative bullshit? I'm reading a book that spoke about this... and then an actual plot point is the male lead has chosen to be celibate until he's in love. Which he brings up AFTER HE HAS GIVEN THE FEMALE LEAD ORAL IN HIS CAR. Sir, you are not celibate anymore. Just because the p isn't in the v doesn't mean you haven't broken that. Claiming that you are being celibate because you haven't put the p in (and yes the author clarifies that this is why his vow is still valid in both leads' minds) is so heteronormative and invalidating to LGBT+ people in particular by claiming the ways they have sex doesn't count because it usually doesn't involve p in v.
Authors, don't brag about your non-heteronormative stuff when you have this shit in there. It's gross and it's a lie.
