#its why u don't see me advertise my books based solely on the marginalised sexualities of the protagonists or whatev

In reference to ISOK, were most tiercels cobs before being Chosen? From your writings I think at least most have been referred to as he, is there a reason among harpies for this or do you just prefer writing for the gays? Also no offense by that I'm a big ol' lesbian, I just suck with words lol also your works rock, keep it up 😎

Yay thank you 🧡

On a worldbuilding front: kings can pick cobs or pens as tiercels but they can also have preferences (not considered 'sexualities' as you'd think of them, as tiercels are a fourth gender and kings still fuck regular cobs and pens so a king who only liked cobs and ex-cob tiercels would still be 'bisexual' lol), Thunder Strike preferred cobs and Cuinn was using him as a model for proper king behaviour even though he hated him, and would have given anything to BE Thunder Strike. Cuinn was always written to be an extremely heavy handed trans metaphor ofc

On the out-of-universe front, it's actually an interesting question about audience & intent (writing for the gays etc). When I wrote this story I had no intention of sharing it so I wasn't writing for anyone but myself and i am a homosexual man. Same can be said for everything else I've written - I was the only intended audience and even now when I know other ppl will read what I am writing I turn away from the idea of representation for its own sake and just write what I want to read
