we're all mad here
This is probably redundant given that my wrap-up is going to go up next week, and you’ll all see just what a wretched month this was, and it’s possible no one’s even all that hyped about what my remaining Pride posts were going to be, but figured I’d explain why I’m cutting my Pride celebrations…

Are you sick of me talking about queer characters in fantasy yet? We’ve already discussed why homophobia in fantasy doesn’t make sense, plus chatted about some of my favorite queer fantasy MCs, and, today, we’re here to talk about why there should be more queer characters in fantasy. Thus, I’m not going to be shoving…

I recognize that this may kind of feel like a cop-out or a TTT that’s hiding beneath a Wednesday discussion, but there was only so much salt that I could serve this month without exhausting myself, and I thought it might be nice to just take a step back and talk about the queer books…

I’ve been slowly collecting Alice Oseman books since 2019 when I first read the Heartstopper comic online. I spent three days staying up late as my heart just broke and was mended over and over again when I first discovered Charlie & Nick’s story, and, since then, I’ve been preordering each new volume of the…

There are a lot of reasons why I’m here with this post, and, honestly, with half of the posts this month. Not only am I posting four short stories, all of which take place in some level of fantasy, but I’ve got an entire discussion on how exhausted I am with homophobia in fantasy. I…

I ended up five-starring all but one book this month, and four were preorders that I was very excited about, so that makes me even happier. I’m also wandering my way back toward writing, so it’s really just…

(This doesn’t get salty. It started there. Also, every book cover you see has positive queer rep!) Literally why, though? Why is there ever homophobia in fantasy? If you’ve created an entirely separate world from Earth that includes magic and your own cultures and faiths, why would you include any of the bullshit that takes…

I had this at a solid ten, and then I was working on another TTT for this month about queer fantasy MCs and had Yadriel on that list and somehow not him & Julian on this one, and I just?? Decided to do a list of 12 instead so the cover aesthetic could stay strong.…

Not gonna lie, one of the most aggravating things is when people go “suuuuuuuuure” in response to me saying I’m on a book buying ban. A) Why the fuck does literally anyone care what my book buying habits are? (Oh snap, we got feisty real quick.) B) Actually, just circle back to A, that’s my…

Happy 2021 Pride! I am so hyped to be alive and thriving for another Pride, and I cannot wait to bring you the queerest month on the blog yet! Last year was pretty amazing, not gonna lie, but I didn’t really make the whole month about Pride. I did a few posts: Favorite LGBTQIAP+ Books…
