AUTHORS DOING OTHER STUFF
Like putting together a bee hive. Badly. With the aid of Cheezits.
I’m not the only author who keeps bees by the way. I know @neil-gaiman used to keep them in Wisconsin. And Sherlock Holmes have it a go, too, so it’s not a bad gig for a historian turfed mystery writer, either.
Yes. I might be procrastinating.

Hey Writeblr, today's writing question:
What is the worst thing you have put your character through story-wise? (if it's not a spoiler)
This is from a short story but there was the character who fell into a colony of metal eating bacteria....this includes metal ions in blood

I know their single “Soldier, Poet, King” hugely trended in 2022 on TikTok and Instagram especially in the ren faire, DnD, & cosplay scene but man do I think a lot about Oh Hello’s song Torches criticizing Nationalism and the violence of rightwing marches
youtube
I got a venom like a snake running out of my mouth (Running out of my mouth, running out of my mouth)
It's got you burning at the stake, innocent or not, you're not a bet I care to take.
And Father Ignorance will make brothers of us all (Brothers of us all, brothers of us all)
As he sets our torch aflame, chasing down the flimsy specters that we co-create.

Marcille successfully brings back her love interest with wings and claws and blood all over and suddenly she has to be reported to elf cops and be thrown in elf jail?? Can a woman not love to the point of blasphemy anymore?? What a sick world we live in

I feel like more people should know about the Filipino phrase bahala na si Batman. quite literally, it means it's up to Batman. on a more figurative level, it means that you're leaving something to God/fate - metaphorically represented by Batman, of course.
big event that you haven't prepared for but you're going anyway? bahala na si Batman. major exams coming up and you haven't reviewed yet? bahala na si Batman. about to do anything remotely risky/luck-based? bahala na si Batman.
anyways, I just think it's hilarious that Batman is now a part of our culture through this saying. is this a thing in other cultures/languages too? let me know!

SAINTS OF STORM AND SORROW has a disabled love interest and several major disabled side characters, as someone living with chronic illness it was so important to me to showcase a fantasy world in which disability exists and isn't magic-ed away.
I wish there was more representation of disabilities and chronic illness in fantasy, science fiction and action genres.
Not just a side character with 30 seconds of screentime. An important character that doesn't just exist to further the storylines of other characters. I want a character that doesn't get "cured" or healed. A character that stays disabled and/or chronically ill. A character that isn't afraid to ask for help. One that doesn't think they're a burden and doesn't try to hide their disability/ chronic illness.
I want to see how it affects them, not just know they're disabled/chronically ill and it jist never gets mentioned again. I don't mean it should be their entire personality but being disabled and or chronically ill can affect many parts of life.
I just wish there was more representation of disabilities and chronic illness that shows every part of it. Especially in fantasy and science fiction it's lacking.

would love genuine suggestions for other vegetables and ways to cook them. if you're an asshole about it not being a lot of vegetables or about it taking work from me to get into vegetables as a class i will explode you badly. i am allergic to peppers
#if your pepper allegy does not extend to other nightshades my favorite vegetable is eggplant 🍆#theres a Filipino eggplant Omelette called tortang talong that is delightful#i beat some green onions fish sauce garlic and a cooked ground meat if i wanna make it really hardy into yhe egg batter before i pour#it over the roasted eggplant#its truly delightful panfried and crisp with your favorite hot sauce or banana ketchup or regular ketchup
