ใปโ ๐ สพสฟ ๏นIntro
hi, Iโm seeking more 18+
#writertwt
and
#booktwt
mutuals, and wanted to renew my intro!
สพสฟ : fav genres : horror, high fantasy, gothic literature, anything with the Victorian era.
สพสฟ : i write : dark romantasy, eco-horror, and occasionally erotica!
DEAR MOOTS,
itโs simple,
Leigh bardugos response to the question of genocide was meant as a cop out, and it was pretty unsatisfactory, letโs talk about it ๐ฌ๏ธ
( aka a thread on why existence as author / artist is inherently political, and why silence canโt be justified )
i think itโs so strange to lump palestine in with โpolitical issuesโ. there are many verified accounts sharing what is happening in palestine now more than ever, it seems so cheap to not share due to misinfo. just correct yourself if it happens. doing something is always better!
as a bisexual, this is probably going to be a controversial take, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with bringing your partner ( regardless of their gender ) to pride.
I would NEVER let a child in elementary read anything remotely like SJM // Rebecca yarros // Colleen Hoover etc
but especially the book haunting adeline ????? what are yall doing ???? ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ AS PARENTS????
what the fuck

?? Sex can stop at ANY time, and consent can be revoked. If she says no in the middle of sex = quitting. if the condom slips = fixing it unless she communicated otherwise & you BOTH consent.
writers who write monstrous characters who unintentionally fall in love while battling their urges, and struggling with their humanity only to find out their partner is more chaotic than them, wyd?
firstly, why is art & writing inherently political?
all human issues are discussed in politics, and writing / art will resemble certain political paths even if the position is having โnone at all.โ your political opinions influence you subconsciously regardless.
wdym it's cringe if all I do is write plus size / mid size gingers ๐ y'all do realize almost every booktwt character is brown haired / blonde haired and skinny right, I'm taking away yalls anonymous message prompts
some people are saying sheโs afraid of losing influence, but let me ask you: what does influence really matter if youโre not using it to speak up for those suffering?

From the river to the sea stands for the the need for equality for all inhabitants of historic Palestine, it means freedom & dignity for the people who are currently facing an apartheid. It is NOT something to be afraid of.
ofc, donโt bring your male partner to anything women only. THAT is intruding, and could potentially make someone feel unsafe. but a pride parade? IF theyโre being respectful?
in the light of recent events, iโm presenting my katniss everdeen fancast to everyone once again, whom I absolutely adore, I always envisioned, aren't they perfect ๐ฅน

โI can understand if itโs not enough.โ She says, but sheโs not giving us anything anyway.
You understand, all she had to say she stands with Palestinians and their right to exist, their right to live without being slaughtered.
@alex_romane_
@aeniiac
If you want to clown, by all means, but itโs an honest answer on what the saying stands for regarding the movement to free Palestine.
might be an unpopular take, but I find it so cute when an author interacts with their readers :> like as a reader, I really enjoy when I post something cute relating to the book & the author repost / etc
being conscious of the social effects of your writing / art is also a creators responsibility. you develop a huge platform, and you canโt use being afraid to rustle anyoneโs feathers to justify your silence because hear me out: being silent is just as bad as being the oppressor.
Leigh bardugo is a bestselling author with over 661k followers on insta. Sheโs been praised by ppl all the world for BIPOC rep, and crafting characters that sincerely touch hearts. But when you pair that with an Ill effort response about genocide โ it begins to sour.
at the end of the day, I refuse to accommodate or comfort those who are trying to justify tiptoeing around social expectations while my loved ones are being threatened with deaths door every single day.
straight allies have been going to pride parades to educate themselves and show support forever, so why are we suddenly attacking bisexuals for being in a straight-presenting relationships, and wanting to go?
hellooo! moots for writertwt, please? Iโm always in dire need of more writing friends, so donโt be shy! < 3
สพสฟ 20, I love writing gothic romantasies, horror and reading suspense novels, and chicklits! fantasy too! bookhoarder!
สพสฟ I host writing server & am a mom for two cats!
And before anyone comes by saying that sheโs donating, I donโt care. Honestly. Actions are bigger than words, yes, but in this case, words are just as important.
millions of innocent people going through horrors no one should & your concern is your career and how you should be perceived when you already have SO much.
I am so sick.
Writers, listen closely.
Stop comparing. If it takes you 5+ years to write your novel itโs fine. if you take 2 months thatโs fine.
It is purely up to you. THATโS the beauty of it. Neither is better than the other, it is up to you to decide when the story is complete.

youโre diverting! lol its crazy how men will disrespect women for being sexual, but IF they sleep with a bunch of women, its suddenly different. you are absolute filth.
minors need to quit inserting themselves into mature-content communities, including nsfw writing ๐ญ Iโm not trying to be mean, but we see this pop up at LEAST weekly. youโre not adults, itโs not for you.
you shaming others for reading smut is NOT the slay take you think it is.
gonna lose multiple mutuals, but I do not admire taylor swift like I used to ๐ญ & I will critique her silence when the topic of genocide is so critical.
do I hate her? no, not at all. do I think her silence is disgusting, and really hurtful? absolutely.
just an fyi โ after having multiple people step forward to me about their experiences with

DEAR MUTUALS,
my dear friend
@zinh_1
in gaza really needs your help, and she needs it now. she's so close to her 60k goal, a little less than 8k, but donations are slowing. Her family is sick, and needs proper medical care.
I donโt know who needs to hear this, but when writing a story itโs okay to change things over and over until the pieces begin to fit into place. itโs okay to reuse old characters that you scrapped, and vocal prompts. itโs okay to scratch a summary after you post it online.
hello! I don't know if any of my writer friends are interested but I run a creatives (readers, writers, gamers, etc, all are welc!) server, and starting jan, weโre hosting a jano wrimo event!

weโre close to 60 members now, and youโre all invited : )
bisexuals:
hey! you shouldn't invalidate my sexual identity, because I like either gender! I love my bf very much, but that doesn't make me any less bisexual.
twitter dot com:
you shouldn't date men, you should be ashamed!! STRAIGHTIE!!! you're not oppressed!!!!
@youregoodtome
Iโve been trying to figure out what words to use to express how Iโm feeling about this, and you put it so well. Iโm not canceling him, it just feels very, very wrong, and really disappointing. ๐ญ but thatโs what we get for idolizing a celebrity ig
good morning, biphobes!
we can like men, and women ๐ค and dating one or the other doesnโt make any less bisexual, EVEN IF we get married to one gender, especially a man!
stay repulsed, mfs
calling all writers! ๐ซถ๐ป
if you're notorious for missing nanowrimo, need a support group to push you forward in your WIP, or just want to network and indulge in our prompts, consider joining our server!
Our Janowrimo event launched yesterday, but you can join at any time!
I want to encourage all of you to look into the importance of intersectional feminism, and why factors such as race, background, poverty levels, and even factors in upbringing all factor in oppression.
hi this post is getting so much attention, please help my friend in Gaza, sheโs struggling so much, and sheโs so close to her goal ๐ญ I wrote about her situation here

me: Iโm gonna write something new!
also me: ahahahahโฆ RELIGIOUS HORROR AND CORRUPTION, pour ON the trauma and the angst, make the hot guy have claws and fangs, survivors getting their revenge on their abusers, pretty lil twirly dressesโฆ chaos, chaos, chaos!!
DEAR MUTUALS,
I am doing doodles for clicks, retweets & donations to help a friend! ๐ A click & retweet gets a quick sketch whereas a donation to Zinh gets more detailed with the amount. Please help Zinh & her family get the aid they deserve!!
hi mutuals! if you donโt enjoy being called platonic endearments like lovely, darling, sweetheart when chatting please comment a ๐ป
. If you ARE comfy, please comment a ๐ท!
I want to be more conscious of boundaries with mutuals. ๐
PLEASE READ!! ๐งต
Zinh is a Palestinian stuck in Gaza with her family, and they need your help with aid to receive safe passage!! She dmโd me begging for help, they have almost no internet there. A dollar helps. Please retweet!!
I genuinely cannot wrap my mind around writers who can sum their blurb down to 1-3 sentences. You are a god, and I am a madman. I tremble at your feet.
Today, wear braids. Indigenous or not. Cole brings plenty was an Lakota actor from Yellowstone, and he was taken, and his braids were cut off. He is dead, not too long after another of his relatives disappeared. my heart is breaking.
taken too soon.
#braidsforcole
reminder for the people in the back that even if they're in a straight / hetero passing relationship, it DOES not change the fact they're bisexual, you fucking biphobics
I just don't even know what to think. I supported them when they said they were being discriminated against. I admired them, and they inspired me, and now it turns out they were a horrible human the whole time?
I can't help but cry right now
I love including elements of folk magic, and Iโm slowly losing my anxiety around my writing not being โheavyโ enough, I love whimsy and I love gothic, and I can write both!!!!! I can enjoy fairytales & enjoy the grim too!!!
DEAR MUTUALS,
from the 18th to the 25th of February is a GLOBAL STRIKE WEEK for PALESTINE๐. we are to put aside all discussions of our interests, continue our boycots, arrange actions, and protest โ it is CRUCIAL we get out on the streets.
wait Stephanie garber IS ON THE BOYCOTT LIST NOW? the author of caraval?? once upon a broken heart??? a curse for true love??? WHAT HAPPENED WHAT DID I MISS.
Just an FYI:
April fool jokes are great and all, but maybe steer clear of jokes about a genocide? And miscarriage? And assault? Yโall need to be attentive, and think about being socially appropriate, because the ignorance I am seeing is wild.
Hello, hello, Iโm rosie!
( 20 + she/her )
As a writer, Iโm as hopelessly devoted to fantasy and horror as I am to romance. Most of my works explore themes of morality, feminism, and autonomy while sprinkling on as many gothic elements as I possibly can.
Donโt call a southern woman โhoneyโ if youโre not mentally prepared for the comeback
Writing twt no matter your gender, Iโd definitely make sure you know where your mutuals stand on this debate. It was never about the bear.
Leigh bardugo knows itโs wrong and has made posts in the past, itโs not a case of her not knowing + she has had time to educate herself. ๐ quit dickriding as an attempt to justify lmao
@rewritingrosie
Okay so when people do talk about it but accidentally spread something misleading because theyโre not sure whatโs right and wrong they should go fuck thesmelves too? Nothing es enough? Okay letโs all kill each other then
I think for a long time I was absolutely terrified to be labeled the โangry feministโ by everyone, and it wasn't until I got older that I understood - anyone that finds that off-putting & isn't angry WITH you isn't your friend when you're fighting 4 human rights
if you're not an "angry feminist" then you're not a feminist, if you are not angry with the patriarchy and the world and the state of how we and you are treated in modern civilization, you do not know enough about feminism or the world to be a feminist.
Iโm imploring non-arabs and fellow americans to stop centering themselves in the conversations about rafah right now by saying youโre feeling helpless & that you want to give up.
grief is acceptable. anger is acceptable. the injustice SHOULD make you angry, but stopping??
might be a tad bit upsetting for the squad, but being bisexual (as a fellow bisexual), saying you wish you had a wife & flirting with other women while having a bf does โ indeed โ make you an asshole.
itโs so funny when these bitches mad about me calling out Leigh bardugo are like โbut youโre white!!!!โ
Iโm VERY white. so white I literally illuminate a room at night like a glow stick. Itโs like yall have never seen a white arab person before. ๐
This is for all of you to read. So many of you romanticize the life of organized crime within mafias or gangs w/o knowing the devasting effects it can have on the families, and the cruelties and stress the women face at the hands of men in power.
"mafia princess", "mob wife"...these are popular trends on tiktok, that glamourize the life of mafia women. But what does it really mean to be a woman born into mafia? Let me tell you one of the many, often tragic stories of such women.... the story of Maria Concetta Cacciola๐งต
with all the praises for dune on my timeline, I wanted to remind all of you that the franchise is rooted in orientalism & cultural appropriation. I am not the first to say it, you all just try to ignore it so you can justify a VERY MID white man.
anyways, y'all, I am offering 10$ sketch commissions to help me pay some bills ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ I don't mind shading them in a single color or grayscale, please boost
good morning, lovelies! ๐ชฝ

this was an absolutely mindfuck to read, and I am so upset because I genuinely admired freydรญs moon & saint harlowe, and to think that there was THIS huge of a lie, Iโll be offline for a little while as I analyze everything.
friendly reminder that dark romance isn't synomous with assault.. that's just assault. you can have a dark romance w/o lack of consent, and I will 100% judge someone for wanting to justify the mc saโing the fmc. twโs are also necessary in these books.
โbut bisexuals should stop queerifying their relationshipsโ honey, if I want to make jokes about how bisexuality shapes my relationships, iโm going to ๐ญ
