Flowers for you!🌼🌱

Listen, you don't need to write every day to be a writer. And some days, you feel like writing but just don't for whatever reason. It's not a big deal. No one's coming to yoink your writer's license. Chill. Take a step back if you need to, sort through thoughts. You're still a writer, fucko.

🥀 you will curse the day you did not do all that the Dread Wolf asked of you🪞 #solas #thephantomoftheopera #dragonage

The new Rune Factory is a banger, we are sooo back

#ComJunity Alexander crashes through various characters' lives on his chaotic trajectory, but he ends up towing a number of them along as his friends due to his charisma. He's this horrible arrogant teenage fop but people keep getting sucked into liking him despite their better judgment.

Therion, my bisexual sewer swan, will always be the more responsible member of this relationship.

Protagonist Alexander and his 🌈friend🌈 Thomas Hunt are both bi! Mentioned is Edward Kynaston, one of the last great "boy players" (tho he is a ~20 yo). In 1660 boys are still playing female roles on the English stage (a la Shakespeare) but from Dec 1660 women take the stage and boy players die out.

In my headcanon, every incarnation of the Sea Mother and Sun Father are all at least a little bi. It doesn't come into the story that much, but... there are signs 😏❤️ #Atlantis #writingcommunity #writesky

Hello #ComJunity 2! In Bludeye Beach, MC Edie makes friends with an existing group; Milo, Viola, Cat, and Alexandra are all related, and Manny has been friends with them since elementary school. Edie manages to win them over with her complete lack of rizz ❤️😂

#ComJunity 2: The one thing that ties everyone together in this story is Jenna. Tarek, Esti, Dani, Nejra, Martin, Cecelia, Patches: in each case, either Jenna approached them asking for help or they approached her offering to help, and together they become part of something bigger than themselves.

#ComJunity 2 This answer may turn sprawling, but I'll keep it succinct as I can (which I'm not great at). 1. Our MCs were brought together when Gwen returned to Neverland for the 1st time in 100+yrs in search of her niece & had to work together to cross the island safely after unexpected injuries

#ComJunity 2 In #Tenement, the main group are childhood friends. Noah & Kazuo live in the same apartment, so they’re basically brothers. Their other bestie is their neighbor Jon. And a girl named Nat Gellar joins their group when she meets Noah after a scary incident 👀 #writingcommunity #writesky

#Comjunity 2 A series of seemingly insignificant decisions leads to a sequence of unfortunate (and hopefully hilarious) events. An intricate heist and a daring escape brings everyone together at last. Their firm belief in one another keeps them together! Can't say more without spoilers. 😅😁

#ComJunity 2 They became friends at school, and when they might have otherwise splintered into different friend groups, Aurora glued them back together using her new glamour. Aurora met the pixie, Iris, in the woods one night when she was desperate for help and Iris was desperate to make a deal.

College friendships, family circumstances, a little bit of fate, and ultimately a trainwreck. They stay together at first from a mutual goal, but as things unfold, I'd say it's their battle bonds that keep them glued together. (That and they start pairing off in relationships kekw.) #ComJunity

May writing accountability: not every day, but not too bad!

Hi #ComJunity!! I’m Brooke and I’m working on a YA cozy fantasy in a magical boarding school called Friendship and Faeriecology. It’s about a teenaged witch who decides, rather than to just *be nice to people*, it’d be easier to make a deal with a faerie to make everyone love her. She learns a lot.

prints of this piece are now in my shop!! 🌟💕

it’s so confusing sometimes to be a girl 💔

If anyone is curious, here's an EXTREMELY in-depth breakdown of the original contract between Universal and WB, detailing what does and does not benefit JK Rowling (short version, park tickets do not; nearly everything else paid for relating to Harry Potter does): orlandoparkstop.com/news/theme-p...
