My spotify wrapped has only confirmed that I am gayer and more depressed than I already knew I was. Great.

I just had a dream that I was (kinda) Neil Josten from the fucking All For The Game series, (yes Andrew was there and yes we were lovers obviously) and it has inspired me. To reread the entirety of AFTG cause I forgot about it but adore that terrible trilogy with every inch of my soul.

If anyone needs me, don't. I'll be busy reading about a bunch of gay nerds playing stickball and being fools for the second time.

youre offline because you have an irl life and miss one load bearing post on here and all of a sudden you dont understand any of the vagues on your dash for the next week

I just watched The Fast and the Furious for the first time. And. Could Brian O'Conner be any mORE FUCKING BISEXUAL.

THE WAY HE TALKS TO DOM? THE WAY HE PRACTICALLY FLIRTS WITH VINCE IN THAT BEER SCENE AT THE HOUSE? THE WAY HE FUCKING LOOKS AT DOM ALL. THE. TIME!?!?

Like yes, this man had chemistry and was obviously interested in Mia, but like.... Dom. Every scene with Brian and Dom was like the most sexually charged shit in the show.

Just. The way he stares at that man is just. Insane.

Anyways yeah thought I should share that with you people. Hope I'm not the only one that thinks like this lmao cause I swear to god the chemistry is THERE.

I knew we would eventually reach a point where masses of people would misinterpret Arcane, but I never imagined it would be this bad.

Yes, I absolutely agree that season 2 was rushed, especially Act 3, and it is undeniable that the series would have benefited from at least one more episode if not an entire act. However, the current discourse about the show is so superficial that it's impossible to have a conversation about anything deeper but a mere synopsis of the characters and story.

So many of you expected this series to hold your hand and dumb everything down so you can understand it. But when it wasn't the case, you all started rioting and calling the characters vague, the plot bad, and the ships underdeveloped.

The amount of people who value spoken text more than the actions of the characters is worrying. And more worrying than that is the amount of those who interpret the said actions so superficially. I can't believe it needs to be explained that it wasn't Vi's death that led to the "good" timeline, but the lack of hextech. The result would have been the same if either of them had died. It wasn't about Vi, but about the child that died because of dangerous technology and that therefore that technology must not be used. The mischaracterization of Vi in general is insane. Call me biased and unfair, but the moment I hear you don't like her I will assume you didn't understand the show.

Also, the whole discourse around Caitvi scene in episode 8 is giving brainsmooth. No, Vi didn't choose Cait over Jinx, quite the opposite. No, Cait didn't plan all of it to fuck Vi. No, Vi didn't do it because she felt forced or because she is a horny animal who doesn't care about her sister. No, them fucking in a cell is not about the class difference, but about the fact that Vi felt an insane rush of emotions after realizing that Cait would let go of her revenge and help Jinx escape, all for her. Yes, I do agree that it would be nice if we got a longer conversation between Vi and Caitlyn and it would feel great to hear Cait apologize, but I'll always value actions over words. Her talking to Jinx, recognizing that she is just as bad as her, and choosing to trust Vi that her sister can change, thus letting Jinx escape will always mean more than any verbal apology and I'll die on that hill.

Also, it was Jinx's decision to let go and walk away. It was not about Vi trying to get to Vander, but about Jinx being tired of everything. Even if that fight didn't happen, the result would be the same: Jinx would leave because she knows that Vi couldn't do that. She knew that the two of them couldn't have a normal life together and that Vi would never give up on her. Jinx didn't "die" because Vi pushed her or failed her, but because she loved her too much. Whether you believe that she is dead or that she escaped, it's her decision either way.

Again, I agree that too much happened too quickly, but stop confusing your stupidity and inability to read between the lines with the quality of the series.

Arcane is flawed but still brilliant.

I wish I was a lizard.

AND WE'RE LIVE~~~

Help us fund this funky softcover edition of Winter's series of short stories featuring queer knights: PRISM KNIGHTS!!

The stories are a bit of a 6 shades of Gay situation where each colour of the rainbow follows a different queer identity in the shape of knights and royals. They're a messy bunch. Here's our quick pitch of the series at cons:

Coqelicot -- a redux of Rapunzel featuring evil lesbian knights. Bronze -- a redux of The Princess & The Pea featuring a nonbinary, ace knight caught in a time loop. Lamplight -- a redux of Beauty & The Beast featuring a trans knight learning to love and forgive herself. Juniper -- a redux of Cinderella featuring a tragic gay knight running from his past and right into a blacksmith's arms~ Sapphire -- a redux of Sleeping Beauty featuring a polyam ship between a dragon (she/her), a knight (she/they) and a royal (they/them)~ Velvet -- a redux of 12 Princesses featuring a bisexual knight overcoming grief.

We're funding a softcover anthology version of the series and I get pretty much nothing but high praise from folks who have read (and reread???) these books time & time again! We'd love to get your support for the project this time around (or a bit of a share if its something you want to see even more of)!

Check it out here!

its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%

Hi everyone!! My name is Artemis, I'm an ambitious, queer, aspiring writer, and I've got a heroic epic fantasy series in the works that is going to 100% be my magnum opus. I'm planning for this blog to be a mix of random personal stuff about my life, writing things (like worldbuilding stuff and relatable writer's posts), and reblogs that will also probably be entirely random, but we'll see.

I like writing (obviously), reading, playing D&D, playing video games (particulary Assassin's Creed, The Legend of Zelda, and RDR2), shopping at independent, unique stores (bookstores!!), and watching shows such as Game of Thrones, Arcane, and Heartstopper.

Anyways, follow me if you wanna eventually read my book and get attached to my epic, D&D-style, insanely queer characters that I daydream too much about, and feel free to DM me at any time if you want to know more about me, my books, or just want to chat about your latest hyperfixation; I love chatting!

Farewell and fast travels, adventurer.
