Love this prompt! My 3 MCs originated from different class playthroughs on Star Wars: The Old Republic (Jedi Consular, Smuggler, Imperial Agent). Iβd love to return them to their origin!

Iβve been sick the first few days of camp and am behind on a lot of things, but Iβm feeling better and am excited to participate more! Fancasts are fun! My MC goes through a βshy sad girl vibesβ to βfeminine rageβ transformation that I think Anya Taylor-Joy could pull off so well!

Books should take forever to write. They should torture you your entire life and the things you could have said slightly better should haunt you forever. This is what art is for, transferring the discomfort of being human into something relatable to the other humans

Re: my last reposts βDo not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populationsβ is the smallest ask imaginable. Itβs not oxygen, itβs not food. Itβs television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

Trans people protect your peace! Stop doomscrolling, block transphobes, and take a deep breath. I am not going to sugar coat it: things fucking suck right now. But make sure you realize that you are not alone and in the end love will overcome hate.
