Hello residents! It’s us, your favorite gossipers and we’re here to bring you some long awaited news! So enjoy and remember, it's up to you to know if this week's bulletin is true or false.

Jasmine Harris – Starlet or Scene-Stealer? Jasmine Harris may be shining on-screen, but behind the scenes, whispers say her relationship with Caleb Peace is anything but peaceful. Could this Pirate’s Cove actress be juggling drama on and off set? @jasminexharris

Freya Smith – Accountant or Financial Whisperer? Freya Smith may seem like your average numbers whiz, but her late-night meetings with high-profile clients in Wave’s End are raising eyebrows. Is she just crunching numbers or handling secrets worth a fortune? @freyaxsmithx

Pogue O’Connor – Falcon Haven’s Brooder with a Mystery? Pogue O’Connor is the quiet ex-marine mechanic who keeps to himself—or so we thought. Rumor has it, someone from his past has been visiting him, and it’s not about car trouble. @poguexoconnor

Jayce King – CEO or Puppet Master? Jayce King’s Pirate’s Cove mansion screams power, but sources say his “undisclosed business” might not be as squeaky clean as it seems. Is he keeping secrets from wife Sloane Ross, or is she in on the game? @tfjayceking

Anastasia Hill – Sugar Baby or Power Player? Anastasia Hill is living the luxe life with Lucas Roden, but sources say she’s been seen meeting another wealthy Pirate’s Cove resident on the sly. Is she trading up or playing a game no one’s ready for? @anastasiaxhill

Lana Rodgers – Perfect Mom or Pirate’s Cove’s Next Big Scandal? Lana Rodgers’ family vlog paints the picture-perfect life, but behind the lens, neighbors say she’s been overheard arguing with Noah about more than just screen time. Could Red Edge’s “perfect mom” be hiding cracks in her curated reality? @lanalastingluv

The Water Outlaws by S. L. Huang

Mountain outlaws on the margins of society, the Bandits of Liangshan proclaim a belief in justice—for women, for the downtrodden, for progressive thinkers a corrupt Empire would imprison or destroy. They’re also murderers, thieves, smugglers, and cutthroats. Together, they could bring down an empire. 

Now available in paperback!

Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune

The long-awaited sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it. Welcome back to Marsyas Island—home to six magical and purportedly dangerous children. This is Arthur’s story.

The West Passage by @jpechacek

When the Guardian of the West Passage dies in her bed, the women of Grey Tower feed her to the crows and go back to their chores. No successor is named, and no hand takes up the fallen blade, so the West Passage—the ancient byways of the beast—goes unguarded. This is a weird and delightful journey across a deliriously medieval landscape where decay thrives in abundance and giant Ladies rule a palace the size of a city. 

Blood Debts by Terry J. Benton-Walker

On the thirtieth anniversary of the largest magical massacre in New Orleans history, Clement and Cristina Trudeau mourn their father and care for their sick mother. But their mother isn’t sick, they learn: She’s cursed. Cursed by a member of the same magic council over which she used to preside. Cursed by someone who will come for Clement and Cristina next. 

Now available in paperback!

Bury Your Gays by @drchucktingle

After so many years, Misha’s big Oscar moment is here. All he has to do? Kill off the gay characters in his long-running streaming series, “for the algorithm.” Misha refuses, but that’s hardly the end, because monsters from his old horror movie days have begun to step out from the silver screen and stalk him. 

The Brides of High Hill by Nghi Vo

The Cleric Chih accompanies a young bride to her wedding to Lord Guo, the aging ruler of a crumbling estate, but amid the elaborate courtesies and extravagant banquets, they realize something haunts the shadowed halls. As the big night nears close, Chih will learn that not all monsters dwell in shadows; some hide in plain sight. 

Remedial Magic by Melissa Marr

1) An unassuming librarian falls in love with a powerful witch. 

2) Previous librarian discovers she too is a witch…

3) …and that she must attend magical community college to learn how to save her new world from annihilation. 

Swordcrossed by @fahye

Part-time con artist / full-time charming menace Luca Piere didn’t expect to get blackmailed into teaching a chronically responsible merchant Matti how to wield a sword. He also didn’t expect to find his charge so inconveniently handsome, or to get so entangled in his tale of intrigue, sabotage, and matrimony. 

It’s important to read Swordcrossed because while you’re reading gay fiction, you can also study the blade.

Saw a tweet saying mae is the real villain with 23k likes and how noa will make her pay in the next one for her betrayal and is crazy bc the ones saying that are men! Like, them hating mae is misogyny at this point idc. bc what do they mean when they say they wanted noa to beat her to death???

Lots of fictional male characters share traits with mae (and have even done worse) actual villains are loved by them, but as soon as they see a woman not being the number one supporter of their male lead they lose it.

It's the same old story: morally questionable and complex gray characters are fan favorites as long as they're men. If the character is a woman and, on top of that, has the AUDACITY not to be the protagonist's number one supporter, unconditional girlfriend or caring mother then she's practically the reincarnation of Beelzebub.

Just yesterday Iwas thinking the same thing you mentioned because I was watching a bunch of Mae haters on TikTok, and it's no coincidence that THEY WERE ALL men, and precisely those who defended her were women. The hate was based on totally absurd arguments typical of someone with the argumentative comprehension capacity of an amoeba. Special mention to the macho of Reddit for having the same two malfunctioning neurons that lead them to hate Mae with zero coherence because then they are the biggest fans of Koba, for example, excusing his actions with the argument that "he suffered a lot because of humans" when, in fact, Mae has also suffered a lot because of the apes.

But in the end, it's as you say: the problem isn't the actions but the character's gender. Women in fiction are relegated to being lovers, unconditional friends or self-sacrificing mothers. Anyone who deviates from that role, especially in such male-dominated franchises, is condemned to bear all the male misogyny of the internet.

Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Adult Fiction: July-December 2024

Peregrine Seas by R.C. Ballad (July 1st) Prince Peregrine couldn’t be happier to be kidnapped by pirates. Peregrine wasn’t cut out for the restrictive life of a nobleman – he’s hungry for adventure, prone to duelling, and his family refuse to believe he’s any kind of man at all. Despite his royal origins, he has more in common with the outcasts and rebels aboard the Cygnus that anyone onshore. He…

Sink or ship

Freya and Klaus

Now that’s a duo I never saw coming—Klaus with his boyish charm and smoldering “I’m dangerous but maybe I’ll save a kitten” energy, paired with Freya, our favorite blonde bombshell who could probably talk her way into a private island if she wanted. WOW. Honestly, I think they'd be an interesting couple, so ship. @freyaxsmithx @klausxrichards
