Do you ever wish Shakespeare wrote more queer characters? Well here’s a medieval story with a canon gay protagonist. It’s forbidden love but the main couple does not care. We’ve also got a girlboss queen and a morally grey protagonist. It’s got a lot of lore you can get into, but it’s still really fun if you don’t. There’s a love triangle that kinda turns into a love square in the second half and also a bunch of characters of all ages. We’ve seriously got everything here: murder, a dysfunctional family, and all sorts of secrecy. If you wanna see a pathetic guy ruin his own life, this is the story for you.

Political intrigue. Secret romance. Assassination plots. This piece of media has it all, from tragedy to comedy to contemplations of what it truly means to be human, and whether that even matters at all. Gunfights and sword fights are carefully balanced with scathing social commentary in this visually striking piece of media. Strong, well-written female characters with cringefail loser boyfriends who nonetheless love and support their s/o the best way they can. Nonhuman characters who are fully allowed to be nonhuman, with all that entails. Massive conspiracies. Mental health issues and grief representation. POC. Cannon queer characters. Prophecies and visions. Women with guns. And best of all -- in this story, the villains well and truly win. This piece of media really does have it all.

Who wants another fantasy book with a STROOOOONG FEMALE MC? Who wants a fantasy book series where…. EVERY female character is a total #girlboss? That sounds awesome enough on its own, right? And they're even different in their girl bossing ways! We have a quirky girl who casts black magic! A girly bruiser! A morally gray scholar! A badass warrior queen! A skilled manipulator! But even better: almost every male character is fucking lame. We've got a genderswapped version of the runaway princess trope! A loser man afraid of his grandma! A little guy scared of his own powers and responsibilities! The only male character in this series who ISN'T lame as hell is the GAY DILF! GENDER ROLES? DESTROYED 💥💥💥💥 also there's fantasy racism and it's handled fine.

A period drama with supernatural elements about grief, loss, and the messy, complicated relationship between a father and son that quickly spirals out of control. It stars a found family of 3 and features an ass-kicking former slave, a girlboss who upstages the main villain, a guy who just loves his wife, lesbians, and so much more. There's also an impactful anti-religious message, some kinky fun if you're into pet play or bondage, and a historical tidbit about the origins of toilet paper.
