Miray, a non-binary, aro-ace teen with a prosthetic leg, dreams of creating joy in a world that often misunderstands em. After a fateful encounter with a bitter teen who traps others in a dollhouse realm of vengeance, Miray's kindness and courage are tested. Ey must confront despair and hatred, using empathy to heal and forgive.

Joining forces with Kaelen Salix, a powerful intersex warrior who embodies balance and strength, Miray becomes part of a magical team dedicated to fighting despair and spreading hope. Together, they prove that even in the darkest times, compassion and unity can light the way.

Themes and Symbolism:

Healing through Emotions: Characters learn to embrace the full spectrum of emotions but not let despair take over.

Forgiveness and Compassion: The story emphasizes the transformative power of forgiving oneself and others.

Timeless Connections: Relationships transcend lifetimes, showing that love and bonds are eternal.

Diverse Identities: Characters like Miray and Kaelen celebrate the beauty of individuality and self-acceptance.

Untitled poem idea (draft #1)

Crimson blood drips onto a white canvas

Art is born

For art is the blood we bleed

Bit by bit, drip by drip

Until the well has run dry

Until we have given all that we have

Until we are begging for a breath of air, suffocating slowly at the hands of a society forged by hatred and prejudice and loathing until we have been well and truly been crucified, brandished as a warning for those who dare to dream

Is this what it means to leave our mark on the world?

The last workshop of the winter season for @flux_twc the theme today was “femme”, probably the one I was most looking forward to! As a trans masc person, who does have fluidity in gender expression, but feels like they need to go towards masc to be “seen” by others as masc… I appreciate the expiration of femininity. I don’t want to push it away or dismiss it, because I still enjoy it for myself. And I love the heck out of femmes 💚💗. It was great to explore this theme, to get some words written, and to hear what others had to say and express. 👏👏👏👏👏🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈📝📝📝📝📝📝 #writingworkshop #queerauthor #queerwriter #transauthor #transwriter #creativewriting #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writergram✒️ #catsofinstagram #transmasc #femme https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpsb_gXrLVE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I tell you what, being in a relationship with an author is such a wonderfully mad thing. Like I've just finished reading the first draft of their newest novel, and that's so special?? Idk I'll never get over it💛

The hanky code is just one example of the ways queer people have used code to communicate privately with one another. Grab one for you and a friend at https://buff.ly/2ETbQ9U

Writer question here. How do you decide whether or not to kill a character? I have a story I’m working on and a huge part of it is a characters death. A part of me wants to just rework the whole thing so she can live. But then it wouldn’t be the same kind of story. Since the whole plot revolves around her death. 

(current plot) Tragedy coming of age roadtrip vs (considering changing to) supernatural mystery with romance.

 Feeling conflicted and curious to see if anyone else has these same thoughts?

Hey! Do you know if there’s a master post of Branjie fanfiction that’s in the canon of the show? Like not AUs?

The Branjie rec list (created by the lovely @pink-grapefruit-cafe) is divided into categories:

https://artificialqueens.tumblr.com/post/185777774814/charlottes-branjie-fanfic-masterpost

If you’re looking for ALL of the canon compliant Branjie, I would say the same thing I told the last person who asked a question like this. Go through the Branjie tag and open any story that is NOT tagged AU. (Since some authors use the canon compliant tag and some don’t.**)

**You are always welcome to tell me if you find stories with missing tags.

Last note: part of the reason people use AO3 is because searches like this are much easier, since you can search within a ship. So I do recommend checking there also, although not everyone cross posts, so there are always stories that are only on one platform or the other.
