Happy #PrideMonth everyone! I’m Briana (or just Bri), a bisexual author with several books featuring all kinds of queer characters. Whether it’s my magical girl series, my middle grade fantasy series, or even my manga guide, if I’m writing it, it’s gonna be gay.

Before going to ALA in Chicago in June we’re gonna go to the Pokemon Fossil Museum and my wife @snowtigra.bsky.social is making me a Pikachu dress and it is THE CUTEST THING SO FAR 😭😭😭

OMFG IT’S DONE THE FIRST DRAFT FOR MAGNIFIQUENOIR BOOK 3 IS DONE 😭😭😭 Soon you will sit alongside your sisters, my beloved magical girl series 😭😭😭😭😭

It wouldn’t be summer if I wasn’t booked and busy, here we go! 1. Guesting at CoreCon. 2. Queer Manga Book Club at Red Balloon. 3. The Growing Demand for Kid-Friendly Manga: A Guide for Librarians at ALA (6/28 at 11 AM). 4. Anime Expo for Crunchyroll News, let me know cool things to check out!

Not gonna lie as a fighting game girlie this is all I’m gonna be talking about for the rest of the year 🥹🥹🥹

My goal is to finish the next chapter in my book. Finishing it + the epilogue is a little bit ambitious, but hoping to at least finish the next chapter 🥰

ALERT! There is one more chapter + the epilogue of magnifiqueNOIR Book 3 left to write. WE’RE ALMOST THERE BESTIES!!!

Nakamura, a gay kid, reminding Hirose that he doesn’t have to force himself to do things he doesn’t want after Hirose tells him that sometimes he likes to be alone/doesn’t always like listening to his friend talk about girls? Oh Nakamura, you have no idea how good you are 🥹

I actually am pretty hard on myself about magnifiqueNOIR sometimes. I came up with the idea 10 years ago and I want to take it so far, so sometimes I’m like, “You only have two books, what have you been doing this whole time?” (1/2)

Tomorrow is today!

The Black Girl Book Fair is today so take a peak of what the inside of my magical girl series “magnifiqueNOIR” looks like! Don’t forget, by attending the book fair, you get a discount on everything in my shop!

The Black Girl Book Fair is tomorrow and I’m so excited!!! Remember, it’s virtual, free, and attendees will have a discount for everything in our shop!

The gag with the whole “wholesome BL” mindset is that SasaMiya proved like a year or so ago that no matter how wholesome your queer content is, folks will still demonize it for being queer. Did we forget that they wanted to ban it? (1/2)

I’m still trying to process having a line full of librarians, educators, parents and readers eager to check out my books. What an incredible experience, thank you so much to PLA and Andrews McMeel for the opportunity 🥹🥹🥹 (Also I’m late in posting this here I’m the worst 😭)

Oh my gosh thank you 😭😭😭 I’m working on the third one right now!

In honor of Trans Visibility Day here’s your annual reminder of the existence of Prism Pink, my transgender seamstress turned magical girl in my book series magnifiqueNOIR (art by @princessjem4.bsky.social both the pic and the book covers) 🥰

Hi hi! I'm bad at posting here, but! Not only will I be at PLA 2026 here in Minneapolis doing a signing for my middle-grade Fantasy Pin World series, but in June, I’ll be at ALA 2026 in Chicago doing a panel about manga! What do you mean I’m doing stuff with two library conferences about my work 🥹

Look at this entire thread (also I’m in it) 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

So if the first book in my Black, queer, magical girl series is about the next generation of magical girls. And the second is them stepping back and wondering why the monsters are returning. It only makes sense that Book 3 introduces us to the original team, illustrated here by Tiana Conyers 👀👀👀

Art vs artist but it’s books vs author. Happy New Year, aiming to have even more this year 🥰

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Not sure what 2026 has in store but gonna try real hard to keep it vibrant!

Not gonna lie I’m really happy about doing a year recap because I’ve been hard on myself for not doing some of the things I set out to do, but this reminded me to not discount what I DID do this year. Even if you don’t achieve some things, it doesn’t mean you didn’t achieve anything.

No one is surprised that I get to be the one to round up our favorite anime of the year because I always gotta slap a Gachiakuta image on whatever I can 😅 www.crunchyroll.com/news/feature...

I am literally writing fanfiction again and it feels so good and slowly I can feel the muses for my original stories being inspired.

Since holiday break has been activated I really should use the time to reintroduce my Black, queer, magical girl book series to the world, especially since I’m finishing up the third book. Saying it out loud so I actually do it 😅

Hello Chicago friends! It’s looking like we may be in town next year during Pride (so end of June). Any tips for a Black, queer author, on bookstores to potentially hit up for book stuff (signings, readings, ect.) or Pride events for writers?

Very inspiring to see an indie game get so many awards. It’s been hard to feel creative lately for a lot of different reasons, so it’s really nice to see a small team of creatives get so much recognition.

MEGAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN 😭😭😭😭😭

Give me Phantom Blade 0 please and thank you 🙏🏾

Amy Lee ma’am that jackeeeeeet 😍😍😍😍😍

Should I play Expedition 33? (I should)

Me: I need a game to convince me to get a Switch 2 Cute retro anime space game: Hi! 🥹🥹🥹

Gotta make it to 2026 so I can see the '90s smackdown between Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat on the big screen all over again.

Honestly a Gachiakuta fighting game where Zanka’s moves are like my girl Seung Mina’s would fix everything in my life. The way I used her religiously in Soul Calibur 🥹🥹🥹

I haven’t written fanfic in over a year but after meeting Jabber and Zanka the muses are like “return to your roots.” Here’s another #janka fic, the comments have been lovely, thank you for the reminder that you can return to writing fic at anytime 😌 archiveofourown.org/works/74905536

Since folks are in the spirit of supporting small businesses, gentle reminder that all of my wife and I’s very queer, very magical books (and stickers and bookmarks and whatnot) are available online 🥰🥰🥰 snowtigra.etsy.com

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

I cannot explain how much joy this brings me. I’ve been feeling a bit lost about this series but posts like this re-energize me and remind me that I’m putting something good in the world. Thank you so much for the support 🙏🏾

You know when you get into an anime series and you meet those characters who make up a ship that you fall so hard for that you start writing fanfic after 5 million years? Anyway I’m in Jabber and Zanka (Gachiakuta) hell, Janka consumes my everything: archiveofourown.org/works/73988316

I’ve been awful at updating here but we’re at Twin Cities Con this weekend so you should definitely swing by to look at our books and my outfit 🙏🏾

No rest for this Black, queer writer. Gonna be at ConFluence this weekend with all of my books! Hope to see you there if you’re in the Twin Cities!

Awwwww I love you so much thank you for going on so many adventures with me!

We’re author guests at Anime Fargo this weekend and they gave us big corner space for all our books 🥹🥹🥹

Hi hi @animefargo.bsky.social is this weekend, where we will be guests! Not only will we have all of our books, we’re doing panels!

Come swing by for all your queer book needs if you’re local to the Twin Cities area!
