I got real petty over on the Facebook page and IT WAS GLORIOUS.
This is me, going to check out Legendary Books now…
Publisher: We think that the way the fantasy genre treats women is problematic so we’re going to try and do better
A Fool: If you don’t like it why don’t you make your own!
Publisher: That
That is literally what we just said we are doing
GUESS WHO’S BACK, BIGOTED FUCKWADS?

AHAHAHAHAHA we have a winner for today!
*Snort*
loopy-lolly-loo
if anybody like me a) lol’d and b) wanted to get my hands on that book series, here’s the link
This is magically what I’m looking for right now.
Hi Legendary Books, I’ll take one of everything.
I literally don’t have the space for any more physical books, but I’ve downloaded every Underrealm book on Kindle. I read The Alchemist’s Touch specifically because of this post and I seriously can’t recommend the Underrealm books enough. they are absolutely fantastic.

I don’t really read anymore, not like i used to. And of i get a masters this year like i am planning to then that isn’t going to change. But hell yes I’m going to go and buy these books because THIS is exactly the kind of thing that i want to support!
YISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
One day I will have a job and a bank account and I will have money from the job in the bank account and I will use some of the money to purchase these books
Hey did you
did you know
did you know we have a podcast now and you can literally listen to the books for free.
(You probably didn’t. That’s okay because it’s very new).
It’s slower than buying and reading them, but it’s great if you have no book budget but you do have some listening time!
You could also beg your local library to get them. Just saying.
Asking your library to stock a book for you to read is one of the most helpful things you can possibly do for an author.
Do people not know that "can I sit there is a rethotical question and that it's a no-go to put your suitcase on the seat next to you on a really really full train when a there is space for it right above your head?
I feel like shit and I really don't wanna stand but I also really did not have the energy to argue with this person. I mean I tried but well
shout out to people who's family isnt entirely bad or entirely good, but something in between and you dont know how to feel about them. you feel angry but you also feel guilty, because you know they genuinely love and care about you, but sometimes they show it in a way you know its not okay. your feelings are valid, your anger and sadness and grief are valid, and you dont have to prove this to no one. bigger shout out to those with memory issues who know something isnt right but can't recall all of the bad events, only the feelings, which only increases the guilt.
I honestly love the omegaverse thing going on right now on tiktok cause it's literally just life with different terms
Why do I always have to be in the wrong. When I say something along the line "you didn't say that" then it's always like "yes I'd did. You didn't hear me correctly. I think I know what I said"
But when it's the other way around. These phrases apparently don't count when I wanna say them. Then it's "you maybe thought that you said them but that's not what came out of your mouth. I know what I heard." You stuff like that. But yk. When I say that I'm still wrong.
I'm always wrong.
I think I'm probably a person cemmwgi us very easily gaslit. Because of my forgetfulness. Because of most of the things that I apparently did or said is a high chance that I just forgot.
But sometimes I think I believe to many things.
I'm obsessed with court jesters in fantasy stories so have another story concept about it:
A new person is introduced to the king's court, and as soon as they walk in the court jester announces that they are a thief and a fraud and rode in here with stolen horses. And just as the newcome member is about to retaliate, they're advised not to, and explained that nothing the jester says is true, ever. He just says completely baseless and wild shit, recreationally. The newcomer looks at the jester, who is currently bemoaning that the king won't kiss him in public, as if they are lovers. The king looks irate, but leads by example and ignores the jester's idiotic claims.
The more one learns about the court's inner workings, the more apparent it is that the jester really does do that. The false claims and absurd rumours that go around aren't regurgitated by the jester as often as they are apparently started by him, and are proven false on a consistent basis. The only way to make yourself a worse clown than the jester himself is to get defensive about it, or make any attempt to disprove him. Once a drunken high priest embarrasses himself completely by stripping down in front of the court to prove that he does not, in fact, consist of two smaller men standing on each others' shoulders, concealed by the priestly garb.
"And the king is fucking the jester" has become a standard sarcastic retort that people say to imply that someone is a naive fool who believes in wild and false baseless rumours. Along the lines of "You think the old marchioness' handmaid is actually secretly her personal assassin? Do you also believe that the king is fucking the jester?"
But if one could wiggle their way all the way through to the deepest bottom layers of court scheming without getting killed along the way, it turns out that there are a handful of these claims that actually are true, but nobody would ever believe them - or believe you if you told them about it - because the truth is disguised as such open-faced blatant lies that you'd look like a fool trying to actually prove them. And all of these most outrageous things are schemes that re-inforce the power of the throne or directly benefit the king. And the system is so sturdy that the jester could flat-out say that out loud and nobody would believe it because it's the jester saying it.
Because the truth is, the king is fucking the jester.
feel free to elaborate in tags of course on how easy or hard cosplaying them would be
bonus question: how much do you WANT to look like your icon. like are they the goal you aspire to
I’m all for going about queerness with the goal of not being able to be understood by outsiders but like. you’ve GOT to be normal about aro & ace people if you do. you can’t go on about being confusing to cishets for fun and then complain about ace & aro people who go about sex and romance and attraction in ways that don’t make sense to you.
supporting queerness that confuses others should include queerness that confuses YOU too even if you’re queer yourself.
I feel confident enough to post these now. A collection of all the existing posters after some edits from the other post that got 13k notes! These are full size/quality. Go nuts.
You may use them for wallpapers, tabletop campaigns, whatever. Consider tipping me or buying a print or sticker on ko-fi here! If you do use them, let me know what for, or send pictures!
Update: The fradulent titles were removed by Goodreads and Amazon under pressure from the author community. However, because there's a chance this just happened due to the bad publicity, she also linked The Author's Guild for other authors who might have their names stolen for fake books, but who might not have the connections she has or the luck to go viral.
When we started talking about AI being used to write entire books, this was a twist I honestly did not see coming. The things people come up with...
That's not how demographics work.
It could be if we’re all brave enough

oh uh. scuse me. just a lil snail crossing your dash
I love how certain I am that I’m not the only person who stopped scrolling to let the snail finish crossing the dash.
In fact, I would bet small sums of money that the majority of Tumblr folk do.
Rb for the lil hops it does at the end before it finishes crossing 🥺💓
Gosh I love finding great games.

Earlier this year in art class, I made this secret AroAce pride watercolor painting. The AroAce flag being nicknamed “the sunset flag” was the inspiration. I had tried my best to make it look like a stained glass window using pencils, sharpie, a ruler, and watercolor. I used a hexagon clay cutter as a tracing tool for the sky.
I chose to make the AroAce flag a sunset for obvious reasons.
The Aromantic flag became a palm tree because it had green at the top and the rest as neutral colors.
The asexual flag as the sand is vertical because it would have been squished if horizontal, and the base of the tree would disappear if the black of asexual and aromantic overlapped.
The white on the aroace flag is yellowish to tie the sky and ocean together better, because those being pure white would have looked unfinished. Pure white was ok in the other two because they had black and grey to give the white context.
