i know this is quite premature but will ofris last chapter be an epilogue?

Nothing is premature for my over-planning ass 😌

The last chapter is an epilogue, yes, but will not be a "few years later" kind of thing (like with LDV or TLND). I really didn't want to write this story like that where everything is magically fixed and they are suddenly deeply in love with each other.

I wanted this to be about them 'falling in love' and not 'being in love'

The epilogue is actually a pov that is not alec's (nor magnus') and it's very tiny hehe.

In case I haven't said this before- you're literally my favorite author. And I mean that will all my heart.

I've gotten so used to reading established Alec written by you- which is incredibly beautiful- that I'd forgotten how amazing it is to see them fall in love slowly and become totally obsessed with eachother.

I've obviously read many fic with this happening but somehow getting to read you writing them like this feels like a blessing. It's such a beautiful story and I love both of their characterizations and I love all of themes since they're very close to my heart. But there's nothing I love more than watching them fall in love- I could never get tired of it.

I'm so incredibly grateful to you for writing OFRI.

Love, Yana

Thank you so much, Yana, this made me very soft 🥺

16 Days of Activism

I was hoping to do a little post about it earlier but I couldn't find the time.

I wanted to tell y'all about 16 Days of Activism, which is a very important part of the activism we do to eliminate gender-based violence.

It starts on November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day. 

We talked quite a bit about 'remembering history' and I wanted to share this with you because this is an important part of feminist history.

16 Days of Activism started in 1991.

The history of it goes way back though. TW for violence below.

On 25 November 1960, sisters Patria, Minerva and Maria Teresa Mirabal, three political activists who actively opposed the cruelty and systematic violence of the Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic, were clubbed to death and dumped at the bottom of a cliff by Trujillo’s secret police.

The Mirabal sisters became symbols of the feminist resistance, and in commemoration of their deaths, 25 November was declared International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women in Latin America in 1980. This international day was formally recognised by the United Nations in 1999.

That's your history. Our history.

A lot of important days of resistance stem from pain and sacrifice and violence. So, when we celebrate our activism today, it's crucial to remember where and how we started.

16 Days of Activism is a reminder that violence against women is not only a real issue, but talking about it and standing against it also puts women and girls in positions of vulnerability and danger.

But every year, women around the world have been campaigning to end violence against women, not just during these 16 days, but on every other day too.

During these 16 days, a lot of organizations engage in both online and offline activism and advocacy. So, regardless of where you live, you will see that the organizations working on human rights, particularly women's rights, will be talking about various gender-based violence issues in your country.

If you simply go on twitter or Instagram or facebook, you will see so many social media campaigns about this. Look up the hashtag #16daysofactivism.

I'd encourage you to follow them and learn them because it's a good opportunity to catch up with your country's context and know what's been happening lately 💙

Alec Lightwood once said—

“I can read your face like a very open, very pornographic book. I wish I couldn’t.”

A good thing that made me happy today:

I’m currently in the east coast of the country doing some workshops in gender based violence and one wonderful change/improvement I’ve noticed is that people bring violence against lgbtq people unprompted - meaning when we discussed GBV today, people brought up the violence faced by trans folks and also lesbians who are forced to marry and recognized that as violence too.

This kind of ease to discuss the queer community wasn’t there when I was working on the same topic in the same area around six years ago.

Lovely to see this progress and openness 🥰

When I say I eat rice and curry every day, this is what I mean 😌

[ignisaurumprobat9]

thank you 🤗♥️

Seeing what you've just shared made me think about the fact that I've partecipated to a Cyber and Privacy Security Seminary and they talked a lot about Gender and Racist bias of the AI core and it made me think about you.

Is there some source we can draw informations about this from?

thank you!

Our class mainly focuses on gender and sexuality. We did touch on race a little bit because as we know race doesn't exist separately - especially for queer people (with poc who are queer facing double discrimination).

There's a lot of useful info on this! Also in specific sectors, I was recently watching a seminar on on how AI racial/gender bias impacts the health sector.

We're supposed to receive all our reading materials and resources later this week after the class is over. I will make sure to share them with you!

“You must be Alec Lightwood’s son,” Max said, cocking his head to the side, a mischievous glint in his eye as he sized up the boy standing before him. “Boy, oh boy, have I heard things about you.”

“Can’t say the same for you,” the boy, Rafael, replied coolly. “You see, Shadowhunters don’t sit around gossiping all day.”

Max let out an inelegant snort. Bapak always said that no one gossiped more than the Children of Raziel. “Right, because you’re all too busy hunting downworlders for a living.”

"We don't do that," Rafael glares at him.

“Really?” Max shot back, narrowing his eyes as he glanced at the sharp sword in the boy's hand. “Then what are you doing in the Brocelind with that?”

“It’s—It’s for my protection,” Rafael said lamely. What an idiot.

“Protection?” Max repeated with a scoff. “From whom? Surely you’re not afraid of the squirrels.”

Rafael scowled, and then pointed at Max’s glowing hands. “There’s no need for that either.”

Max’s grin widened, and for a moment, he let the magic intensify, his hands blazing brighter. Bapak always said to keep your power visible—never let anyone forget who you are.

“You sure about that?” Max mused. “It’s not like you’ve been subtle, either.”

Just then, something sharp jabbed at his back—something unmistakably Shadowhunter.

“Let him go.”

The voice was calm, but there was a force behind it. Max’s heart skipped a beat, but he turned slowly, already sizing up the newcomer. The arrow grazed the edge of his hoodie, the sharp tip just barely missing him.

He faced the second boy, who was gripping a bow awkwardly. His pale face was sweating, his hands trembling slightly. Max could take him out with a snap of his fingers.

“Let him go,” the blonde boy repeated, more forcefully, the bow almost slipping from his grip this time.

Max cocked his head again, grinning in amusement. “You need help with that, sweetheart?"

“David,” Rafael muttered from behind Max. “Shoot him.”

David’s confused whisper almost made him laugh. “Shoot him?”

Rafael’s whisper grew more insistent. “Shoot him!”

Max rolled his eyes, clearly unimpressed. “Are all Shadowhunters so bad at whispering?”

“Shoot him!” Rafael snapped, louder this time.

David’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What?”

“If you don’t, he’s going to kill us both,” Rafael groaned.

“He’s right, you know,” Max said casually, casting a sly smile at the blonde. 

David blinked at him, clearly taken aback by the casual admission. “Really?”

Max nodded sagely. “Oh yeah. Definitely.”

David seemed to frown at that, uncertain whether Max was joking or serious. “Well, that’s not very nice.”

Max’s lips quirked into a smirk, and he leaned back slightly, eyes shifting between the two Shadowhunters. “I’m sorry, are you guys new to this?”

"You can't kill us both," Rafael told him, as if he highly doubted that Max could take two shadowhunters at once. What a dick.

“I guess I could let one of you live,” Max mused thoughtfully. “I only need one of you to deliver the message to Alec Lightwood.”

“Kill me!” Both Rafael and David said in unison, almost as if it had been rehearsed.

Max blinked, genuinely surprised. He frowned at the pair of them.

This wasn’t what he expected at all. He had been prepared for a fight, for them to draw their weapons, to be dangerous, bloodthirsty. But this? This wasn’t how Shadowhunters were supposed to act.

Also, they were definitely supposed to be ugly.

He glanced over at David, the blonde boy, whose baby blue eyes were wide and tensed. Max’s lips twitched.

No, they weren’t ugly—not at all.

WWCF: Writing Exercise #4 - Sitting Positions

“Must you really spend our precious time punching a sandbag?” the man pouted, arms crossed as he leaned against the wall.

“Every man should know how to defend himself,” Rigel replied, not pausing in his punches. “What if you got into a brawl at a tavern? What if someone tried to punch you in the face?”

“Reggie,” River said, his tone turning mock-serious as he straightened up. “The only things my face attracts in a tavern are marriage proposals and free meals.”
