When a comm builds atop a fault line, do you blame its walls when they inevitably crush the people inside? No; you blame whoever was stupid enough to think they could defy the laws of nature forever. Well, some worlds are built on a fault line of pain, held up by nightmares. Don't lament when those worlds fall. Rage that they were built doomed in the first place.

It started as a joke conversation of what fruits fit the vibes of Kadou, Evemer, and Tadek and quickly evolved into this! I finally got around to coloring them this evening and they have stolen my heart again! For those that don’t know, these three wonderful dorks are from Alexandra Rowland’s fabulous book A Taste of Gold and Iron. It has become one of my all time favorite books and I cannot recommend it enough! It’s a slow burn romance between a very beautiful anxious prince and his equally handsome stoic bodyguard dealing with a high stakes counterfeit investigation as well as learning how to navigate each other (with the help of a sassy, incredibly charming past lover). For those who have read it, there’s several other books of Alex’s (@ariaste) to read too! You can find information on them on their site (which I’ll have linked below!). One that is particularly notable is their upcoming queer pirate comedy novel Running Close to the Wind. I’ve done some fanart of the fantastic chaotic disaster of a main character, Avra! It comes out in June! You can read an excerpt of it in the link below!

“I feel very strongly that if historical romance can give women a happy ending, it can give queer people a happy ending. M/f historical romance doesn’t tie itself in knots over the likelihood of the rake having syphilis, the terrible dentistry, the lice, the prolapsed uterus after multiple pregnancies, the prospect of death in childbed, or the horrifying legal discrimination against married women. We don’t close the book on the wedding scene reflecting that the heroine can now be legally raped, has just lost all her property to her husband…and would be vanishingly unlikely to obtain a divorce. Historical romance readers aren’t stupid; we know this stuff, but we choose to believe our heroine will be one of the lucky ones. And I don’t see why we can’t extend that happy glow to other stories, too. If women’s lives don’t have to be blighted by social oppression in romance, neither do those of people of color or queer people. Moreover, human nature doesn’t change. A lot of what we read about LGBT people in history is appalling because the rec­ords we have are the legal documents, the newspaper reports, the accounts of people who were victimized. We don’t generally have the hidden stories of the people who lived under the radar…. But we know…people we’d now call gay, bi, trans have always existed and [that] as a matter of statistics plenty of them must have lived and died without ever coming to the law’s attention. Which is not to hand-wave the horrors of the past but only to say that horror isn’t the only story, and it’s not an acceptable reason to deny marginalized people their happy-ever-after.”

every sapphic book i love → she who became the sun by shelley parker-chan
"you have a lot of feelings in you, ma xiuying." "don't mistake it for caring about your life or death, monk." but it was too late; she already cared.

I finally read The Hourglass Throne by KD Edwards, and there is a scene where Lady Death commands her mother, and I had this visual of her stuck in my head of her “deathness” rising when she uses her power.
