Nettlewild Fairy

it's time to write the backstory segment I've been avoiding for a full draft of this novel.

I've outlined it but I still gotta write it and figure out where to sneak it in. It will probably be a little to long to just throw the whole thing in as a chapter in the middle of action but you absolutely do need it for the emotional drama to hit between the main trio and main antagonist #2 I'm probably going to break it into pieces between the two love interest POVs and put a bit in each of the love interest POV sections in act 1 and then finish it up with the finale of the backstory bit in act 2

My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency

Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet you persevered?

the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function

oh so like "eh" in canadian

*un-Babels your Tower*

And also the indestructibility of that woman's ankles

This is Peak Yuri media and I hope my beautiful feral daughters love each other forever

Be kind to trans women or die by my sword

Respect trans men or die by my axe

Love nonbinary people or die by my bow.

Love genderless people or die by my morning star.

There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claire’s Historical Fashion Reference & Resources

another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this

Reblogging to spread awareness

girl who finally is going back to reading by finishing one book: now i'm going to read all the books in the world.

In the mood to be wounded and rescued but not in the real life way where you get lifelong injuries and mostly just feel pain, rather in the novel protagonist way where you are tenderly cared for and comforted by your loving friends/family/unlikely allies while you drift in and out of consciousness and just kind of get worried about

it’s funny how often people are like “i can’t find any good yuri” and u find out they haven’t even tried and just watched nana and madoka and other Implied stuff… ok you know there are Lesbian Comics With Lesbian Relationships right
