Yoko and Enid friendship be like:

Enid: I’m kind of crushing on someone, but I’m worried about telling you who it is because you’re not going to like it

Yoko: Just rip the bandage off.

Enid: It’s Wednesday.

Yoko: Put the bandage back on.

“you were brave. you were strong. you were good. you mattered.”

characters who view themselves as tools/weapons first and people second... characters who martyr themselves for a cause because they think that's the only way they can be worth something... characters who push themselves past their breaking point again and again and again... characters for whom devotion and masochism are inseparable... characters whose self-sacrifice becomes self-annihilation...... what was my point again? i had a point. anyway.

Me: *stuck on the same spot for days, trying to connect two lines of dialogue and unable to determine how character A should respond to character B in a way that sets up character B's next line*

The little Neil Gaiman in my head: Listen to your characters. Try to determine what they want and what feels right to them. What's the next thing that should happen?

Me: Alright, let's hear it, character A. You heard everything character B just said. Now what do you have to say to that?

Character A: *starts crying*

Me: OH SHIT

This is literally why I write what I usually describe as sapphic smut, but is actually closer to the classic fantasy stories from 80′s and 90′s that initially (and unhealthily) shaped my perspectives on romance and fiction. What I write (professionally) has a bit more sex and romance than those, but with an actually diverse cast, in regards to gender/sexuality/race. However, I only describe it as smut because most people treat it as such, since it isn’t cis/het sex, causing it to be treated as effectively pornographic in nature, which, in a vacuum, I’m not upset about, BUT, if I were to provide the exact same sex scene to the exact same publisher with only the pronouns changed, a scene involving a cis/het man and cis/het woman is treated as nothing to look twice at, whereas the same scene with a transwoman and cis woman is, for some fucking reason, treated as hardcore pornography unfit for the general public.

My actual heartfelt dream is to be able to write stories that help people of all kinds to understand what it really feels like to fall in love and continue to be loved, sexually, romantically, or platonically, in a healthy and happy way. If I could help every person in the world to understand what it feels like to fall asleep in the arms of your lover, feeling nothing but safety and comfort, I would happily give my life.
