[Fan Art: Elena Ravence & Yassen Knight from The Phoenix King by Aparna Verma]

This was the first piece I finished in January and back then, the one thing I didn’t really like about it back then was the skin. So, I decided to touch up this piece, especially the skin, the other day!

Salt water washes away trauma.

You can escape the past by swimming.

The ocean will carry you home.

The fish will be your friends.

The merpeople will be your found family.

An excerpt from one of my Natela chapters. She’s proving to be one of the more challenging characters to write.

there is actually no fucking way you are saying this about bestselling white piece of shit fantasy author sarah j maas. there is actually no way you are comparing sarah j maas, a woman who used breonna taylor’s murder to promote her book, to women of colour who are regularly and routinely sidelined in the publishing industry and who struggle to get marketing budgets or publishing contracts in the first place and whose work is often pigeonholed. there is simply no way

Barnes and Nobles 25% off Pre-Order Sale is happening now!

Do consider placing a preorder for SAINTS OF STORM AND SORROW my Filipino inspired epic fantasy

This warrior heroine is “surfing” her way through the jungle on mossy tree limbs! The bandages on her foot are meant to protect her soles from friction and splinters.

The inspiration behind this picture was of course Disney’s Tarzan, my favorite animated film that they’ve ever done. One of these days, I really want to see a “jungle hero” character in the tradition of Tarzan who is a native African person instead of the usual stranded White dude or dudette.

Say this about a child. In you they will always find a use. Say this as well. They cannot imagine a world where you do not love them, for what else should one do but love them?

I am gonna rant for a bit here about ‘The Thunderstorm Saga,’ a new story on Romance Club. And before anyone says it, yes, I understand that I can always read other stories and that some stories on RC don't have BIPOC MCs--I just really wanted to dive into this one with a Black MC lol. I would love to hear other BIPOC players thoughts on the character design as well, which is why i am posting this here. well, that and because the reddit page won't let me post it there lolz.

As a Black person who plays these games, whether on Choices, Chapters, or LITG, I can’t help but notice when the ball is dropped in terms of character representation. Since I have yet to get past choosing my MC, you could attribute it to the genre—sure, fantasy often lacks non-white characters��but Time Catcher does exist and offers pretty decent Black and POC MC options. So, I don’t know, I just feel kind of disappointed because RC has had some of the best BIPOC MC representation by far compared to other apps. It just rubs me the wrong way that these are the options available now when they were doing SO well, in my opinion.
