Know what? Fuck it. Fuck "historical accuracy", I'm gonna use autistic explicitly in my book because, it may be based on the 1800s technology but FUCK IT. I'm gonna use autistic explicitly. It's a different fantasy world particularly one that's more advanced in accessibility.

What if I just *makes two of the major deities in the Marenel Pantheon lesbians who had a son*?

That moment when that book about two lesbians from rival factions falling in love after breaking up a brawl and being appointed as ambassadors by this guy who came back from the dead thanks to the help of the last dragon of the land you wanted to write that no one would ever see accidentally becomes a metaphor for environmental disaster and chemical warfare

My FBI agent is gonna be so confused about me looking up the different smells of chemical warfare.

I don't think I would want an official career as an author. I would just like to write a book or two for Stories of Aesadell and see how much love it gets to at least inspire creativity in everyone else. That's kinda why I want to self-publish my series because I would want control over the copyright. I don't want people to not make their own books, comics, tv shows, etc. of their own stories and make money off of it. In fact, if people do, I'd love to read a copy and I would gladly answer lore questions for people. As long as the story I wrote remains mine, people can go wrote their own Aesadellian stories and I will love every bit of it. I would also want to hold copyright to prevent companies from stealing my work and preventing other people from making their own story.

My main goal with Aesadell is that it centers disabled people and challenges societal ideals of straight, white, abled society. That's why the main character of my book is a disabled lesbian who comes from a country (loosely I might add as some parts come from just fun writing exercises that brings different types of world-building elements) based on Mexican, Hawai'ian culture. Mexican culture because I am Mexican and Hawai'ian because, 1): she lives on an island so I researched island nation cultures and 2): to view Hawai'i and Mexico in a lens of a non-colonized nation. I also chose Mexico specifically because it gives me a chance to reconnect and appreciate my own culture since my grandfather who was from Mexico developed Alzheimers before I had a chance to learn about it from him.

Also, part of it is about a "fuck you, you can include us" kind of thing especially with disability. Pretty much all of the countries are built around accessibility. Disabled people are a part of the culture rather than apart from it. Disabled people have the same opportunities as other people but also the fact that some people just can't work no matter how much accessibility is instilled into the foundation of society and it's okay to not have to contribute when it could hurt you to do so.

Now, I did include a separate realm to show the contrast between our society and this idealized society I have. I think it's important as a "look at how we could have been included." And, of course, hardship does exist in this idealized society. It didn't happen simply because people are just inherently good. It's just developed a different way to view life in a different society. There's still wars. There's still discrimination. There's still hate and murder and power hungry people otherwise the plot of the book wouldn't be anything other than "people lived happily".

And to think this all started because I just wanted a book about two women from rivaling factions to fall in love while trying to unite the world to fight a common enemy: a metaphor for global warming.

Me, making theories about stories of Aesadell as if I'm not the one writing it: okay so Aesadell views the sentient magic as a divine force while Iassiother views the sentient magic as animals to be domesticated

In the Marene of Aesadell, they don't say "eat the rich," they say "drown the rich."

So.

In the book I'm writing, I was like "hm, i wanna make this palace seem luxurious" and decided to input a skylight made of prisms in the dining hall and so during the middle of the day, the center would just be full of rainbows and you know that sounds cool.

But, in the second chapter of the book, Maelirra, this being her first time, is standing outside the doors because she wants to see it when Edea shows up and she decides to show her and they have lunch together.

They are both lesbians. So their first full interaction is them having lunch while bathed in rainbows and I didn't realize it until I finished writing the scene.

That scene is staying in the book regardless of what kind of editing I do to it. It is staying in the book because that is just an amazing thing and it is going to piss off homophobes.

If any filmmaker ever wants to make a movie of my book, I am going to require that scene remains.
