use this as a book yap zone
Oh hi thank you
That was maybe a mistake on your behalf because. There will be a lot put on this post but fuck it we ball
I'll start with the book's summary (and name. it's called Come What May)
And basic (okay basic is a debatable term) character info & picrews (I can't draw that well so picrews it is)
This is Ezra May Murphy
15 years old, sophomore (they’re a baby /j)
They/them
Nonbinary & likes boys
Best friend is Eleanor Technically there are four main characters… Ezra is the most main, they’re my favorite lol
One of the actors
Uhhhhh GAYYYYY (idk what else to say they like Davi)
Also has diamond stud earrings but I don't like the way those look on the picrew so I left them out
Eleanor Moore
16, sophomore
She/her
Cis & straight (…she does not know that she’s a lesbian lowkey)
One of the actresses
Loves singing with all of her heart
Constantly anxious, my poor girl 💔 majorly undiagnosed
Best friends with Ezra
One of her plot points is that she doesn’t know she likes girls so just pretend like you don’t know either
Davi Nicholson
16, sophomore
He/him Cis & pansexual
Best friends with Itzel and Nat
Luke is his brother
One of the actors
My boy likes to fall head over heels for people, he has a big heart
“Swoony McSwoonerson TM” -Ezra (and several people that I have shown his picrew to)
His glasses are actually tortoiseshell but that’s as close as I could get
Itzel Robertson
17, junior
She/her
Cis(? lowkey comes out as genderqueer in the epilogue) butch lesbian
Stage manager
My favorite depressed punk lesbian of all time as much as she hates to admit it she falls sooo hard for Eleanor
Best friends with Nat and Davi
GAH I love Itzel sm what an icon
I literally want to be her lol
Those are the main characters. I have more picrews and more character info but I don't want to bombard you lol (but I can reblog with those and/or DM you about those if you want to hear about it)
Book progress: Midway through the third draft. I would be farther along if Ezra's home life hadn't been SO FUCKING DIFFICULT (currently on the seventh rendition of their family rn luckily it's working for now and I can FINALLY move on and stop writing the same three chapters over and over and over again). If you've seen posts about me being frustrated with writing, it's about that.
I started the book on March 11th, 2025, so I feel like being on the third draft is pretty decent. Especially since this is the third time I've had to rewrite the thing entirely (my first two drafts were on paper, this one's typed up).
Holy yap session anyway thank you for letting me talk about the gay people in my head if you have any questions or comments or anything I'm happy, willing, and able to engage with them!
Thanks for the ask!
