my forever home is back on the market after being off-market for almost a year. The price is still the same, which is still impossible, and I’m unemployed, but FUCK ME this is the only house I could ever want. It’s gorgeous, it’s spacious, it has history, I can see my life in that house. L and I have named it, I have a daily alarm for it, we’ve done magic about it. I want it to be mine so badly

So I was wondering if in the Toby Daye series there were any fae native to the American landmass? Because I’m not recalling seeing any mentioned, unless I’m missing/forgetting something.
No. It would be incredibly inappropriate for me to declare that Native spirits are descended from Oberon, Maeve, or Titania, and the core rule of the Toby books is that all fae are descended from one or more of the Three. There could be a whole supernatural world of non-fae Hidden People that Toby and her ilk just don’t see, but there are no fae.
Looove Seanan McGuire for being so cool about things ❤
Honestly, this is less me being cool, and more me getting lucky.
I started the first Toby book when I was eighteen. It was a different world, to put it kindly. Even as recently as 2008, when I actually sold that first book, it was a different world; I doubt I could have sold the series had Toby been a lesbian, for example (which is part of why it took so long for visible queer rep to appear on-page, despite me having been the writer from day one).
And eighteen-year-old me thought the folklore kitchen sink approach was fine and dandy! Which is why there are some yokai-derived fae that show up as far back as book one. I’ve had to do a lot of after-the-fact tapdancing and scrambling around to not have that become a piece of proof that I’m an asshole. I’m just lucky that while I had a few friends who were obsessive enough about Japanese mythology that I had been exposed to it enough to incorporate it back then, I didn’t have anyone accidentally showing me the way to the Primrose Path of Showing Everyone Your Ass. If I were starting the series now, I wouldn’t make the “everyone is descended from the Three” decision quite so absolute, not because I want to cherry-pick other cultures for their Hidden People, but because I accidentally created an inherently white world. I didn’t mean to. By the time I understood the consequences of my choices well enough to want to choose differently, it was too late, and attempts to change things would be clearly pasted on.
This is also why, despite the canonical existence of some sorts of yokai, I am very, very careful about bringing in more. I don’t want to be an asshole, and so have to thoroughly research to make sure I’m not making someone else’s gods my monsters (always a goal around here).
Toby: If Raj wasn’t Cait Sidhe I would have taken him on as my squire a long time ago
Me: Is “squire” just a code word for “I’m gonna adopt this kid” now
Yes.
Toby is fae Batman. She lives in stately Wayne Manor expensive, big-ass Victorian house, is a detective, and has an ever-growing collection of adopted kids.
Not to mention lost a parent (in a way, both) very young and blames herself, mostly nocturnal and fights by night, hangs out with a cat-themed person who starts out as a love/hate thing, has a secret identity she keeps narrowly avoiding revealing, super snarky and like a to pretend she doesn’t care about people…
Inexplicably difficult to kill, has really weird themed allies.
Toby, minutes ago: I’m going to call for Tybalt as backup before entering Riordan’s very dangerous knowe because I’m learning that backup is a good thing to have
Toby, now: I’m going to run off alone and without backup inside Riordan’s very dangerous knowe because the lesson is not sinking in very quickly
Toby doesn’t learn very fast…
Incremental progress is still progress and I want to give Toby some credit for that!

I don't know if you're allowed to talk about this but was it you who picked Alandra for Omens of Chaos? Its really satisfying whenever a at one time one-off legendary from years past finally gets a chance to appear in the story.
And seemingly the daughter of Talrand as well, how cool!
I am not allowed to talk about most things relating to the book (yet), but I can confirm that I was the one who selected Alandra! @vorthosjay and I brainstormed for legacy characters of roughly the right age who might get recruited after the Omenpaths opened, and she was my first pick.
I was not denied any of the characters I really wanted.
It’s true! We went through more or less every character of roughly college age to settle on the crew Seanan picked!
I found our Discord chat to double-check my memory!
I've always joked about being a changeling, but every since reading October Daye it just keeps sticking out in various places.
One of the things from the books I thought about a lot was the fairy ointment that helps changelings see fairy magic ((seeing through disguises, being able to see the entrance to a knowe, etc))
Lately, I've been wearing glitter around my eyes every day and calling it my "fairy ointment" so I can see the magic in my day a little easier. (I wear glitter regularly, it's just been genuinely daily now)
Lo, and behold - I can see my beautiful Wy'East mountain every day on either direction, the prismatic colors in the sunrise, the magic in the mist driving through the fog into the West hills.
It's pretty great ✨
Now I just have to get a grip on my marshwater charms 🤔
I really love the idea of wearing glitter around the eyes as faery ointment. I think I may start doing that to add more intention magic in my life

i wanted to get on here and yell at you bc i've followed you for ages (just by tumblr happenstance, didn't even realize you were a writer at first), then about a year ago happened to buy the first Wayward book, finally read it today (it was amazing), but was Personally Hurt having to learn that Loriel's door had been in her childhood bedroom the whole time like that was RUDE, but then i couldn't find your blog bc tumblr decided you just? don't exist? and i had to literally make a private post with your tag (bc that still worked) so i could click on it and get to your blog to proceed with the yelling.
anyway. idk when i'll be able to get the rest of the series but. i'm hooked now. good job 👍🏼 keep it up
Sometimes the Doors are rude. But yes, that was me being intentionally hurtful.

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.
I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.
MORE RUEHOB, I SAY.

Knocked this out for stress relief in between other very important tasks for a very important project. Still not over them (THEY GET TO HUG WHENEVER THEY WANT NOW. THEY GET TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT NOW!!).
Also, feel like this is probably at least a decade into their marriage. Babes 🥰
