APPARANTLY IT'S INTERNATIONAL LESBIAN DAY AND HOW TF DID I NOT KNOW THIS!?!?!?

Didn't have the time to prepare anything I'm afraid since I learned this so last minute but! Here's a link to one of my sapphic one shot fanfictions!

[scyllasong]

To my fellow queers, in case you’ve lost sight of things a little bit like I had, I want you to watch this

This is why we create, this is why we don’t hide even in the face of great adversity. Our stories are beautiful, and moving, and remember how much it means to people. I love being queer, I love being a lesbian, I love being trans, I love us. I love our joy, our stories, our hearts. I love the way we love.

Don’t loose sight of that, in all the discourse, in all the inter community fighting, don’t loose sight of The Reason™️. Remember how far we��ve come.

Look at where we are, look at where we started. Your love, your joy, your story, your visibility MATTERS. The art you create matters.

I love us, I love our love, and nothing will ever change that

Happy 10 years Korrasami 💕🏳️‍🌈

“The Frogs are playing the Elephants this weekend, and I’ll be there to watch my partner if any of you want to say hi,” said their instructor Yahaba. With final wave, he called out, “Great work today, guys! See you on Monday—or Sunday if you’re free!”

Yahaba rushed out the door faster than usual, leaving six sweaty teens in the wake of a revelation.

“Partner?”

Hi Sarah, I'm so excited to see your upcoming release. (Villainess deserve representation too!) I was rereading Love From Both Sides for the dozenth time - as one does - and I was wondering if you had any plans for a spin off with Adara and Natalie? Their story has so many uncharted possibilities, I'm dying to know more. And relatedly, we're gasping out here for more sapphic media that goes as hard as your work does 🥺

I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered before, I couldn't find anything in your archives. Thanks again for writing In Other Lands, a precious and rare delight. I hope you're having the bestest day with at least one friendly nuzzle from a puppy

Hey my love, Never be sorry for asking anything! This world is bettered by the questioners, and it’s a great compliment to me that you care.

As regards Adara and Natalie specifically, I couldn’t tell you. I’d love to write more in the In Other Lands world (about which more later) - but whether I could do a short story or a series of books would obviously change my answer. It’s not entirely up to me, but I definitely do have plans for Adara. She’s a foil for Elliot, and the kind of character I really like - one who I see treated shallowly in other media, when few people really are shallow. If there’s too much skimming the surface, I long to explore the depths. And with the depths come adventures. Thank you for your care!

I also thank you for being excited for Long Live Evil. Villains and villainesses do definitely deserve representation, and have long been beloved by me because they’re often complicated, witty because they see the world differently, and queer-coded. I was also thinking when writing it about the different ways audiences can come to a story, and using the same evidence how different people presume characters are (for example) straight or bisexual. And often the ending will be very uniformly heterosexual. But if you go into the story, and change its direction… Are the things you presumed true? Are the things characters presumed about themselves true? Would certain subtexts surface, and certain texts submerge? How do we influence art by engaging with it? Anyway, I am categorically not making any promises because that’s got me in trouble before. But it’s an ensemble story (I was inspired by the group dynamics and relationships, all given weight, of Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows) and these are some of my preoccupations when writing it. I hope you shall find much to enjoy.

In the meantime, if you seek sapphic media that goes hard, and Sappho knows we all do… The Jasmine Throne and the Oleander Sword by Tasha Suri - this series is a huge favourite of mine - and not just mine, it won the World Fantasy award. Its central f/f pairing features one party holding the other at knifepoint for fine reasons and they have a brilliant dynamic based on understandably conflicting ideologies and complicated family situations! I love it.

Thank you for a delight of a letter and your kind words. I write this being yelled at by a cat for skritches, which is pleasant as puppies. I wish you a beauteous day with animal companions of choice, with apologies I couldn’t answer more definitively!

[supposedlysecretlysapphic]

Sapphic is such a beautiful word. It's perfectly descriptive without the baggage of others using it as a slur (if it has don't tell me, ignorance is bliss). It's perfectly inclusive. It's also great as it's a word that those who know will gravitate towards (for example looking for sapphic books) but those who don't won't instantly prejudge it and will just move on. It just sounds lovely phonetically, and immortalizes the name of a woman from a society which tended to demonize them. All in all I just think it's neat!

[nearbyclosetedlesbian]

I love being a lesbian and I love love, so I need a girlfriend so bad. I want to lay in bed all day with them and just read with some music playing. Maybe we can play Minecraft or something later just let me decorate the house like I built all our furniture. And they let me build everything by myself but sit next to me because I need and wanted to do it alone but not lonely. We can watch something together, not horror bc I can take it, but they already knew that and would never try to make me bc they know I'm already too jumpy. I want to hold them and hear each other hearts beat, rub their bsck and arms, and it feels like it's only us in the world and that we have all the time in the universe to be in love. I want to be able to just look over at them, and they catch me staring, they just smile their sweet smile at me but we just said a million different versions of "I love you" in just that one look. I want to hold their hand and give each other gentle squeezes to remind the other that we're still here and we're still in love. I want to be in a crowded room, and they look for me first. Us in love there would be no second guessing if we're in love because it's in every action we take. They buy me pink flowers because even though I don't have a favorite flower, I favor all the pink ones. They make sure it's sweet tea and not iced tea because there's a difference, and even if they think it's silly, they know it's important to me. They see me and understand, and we move seamlessly together. I want to do so little things and watch their face light up because yes baby I did get it in your favorite color, yes I remembered when you told me you like those, and yes I did it just because it was for you and I love you.

[youreverydaygae]

Looking back at my old posts is insane bc I don't remember the context for a lot of them and all I can think is "damn, I was on something"

Ps. Everyday I live in shame for making that post comparing solangelo to Achilles and Patroclus and just pushing past Silena and Clarisse like they were nothing. I reread the last Olympian and cried for those sapphics. I hope you all forgive me for my crimes /srs

[deeplydevoted]

Sometimes my heart really isn’t into the Being Ungodly Horny shit. Like yeah if my partner fucked me senseless that would be like. Cool……. I guess…………… Sex is great but have you ever had your partner’s entire weight pressing down on you while cuddling and feel them physical press all the stress out of you with every breath? Have you ever sat in the sunshine and just let your fingers trial patterns across their skin? Have you ever sat on the counter while they cooked and been so in love you can’t help but pull them into a dance or a kiss or a hug? Have you ever showered with them and felt so warm and safe and accepted that all the Bad Body Thoughts melt away entirely and all that exists in that moment is just… you? Have you ever listened to the music on the playlist you made them and explained why every single song is there (even the songs that are just there to Set A Vibe). Have you ever felt lips on your skin and just closed your eyes and smiled? Maybe a giggle. Been so happy and at peace that you can’t help but cry? Do you understand a calm so profound that the lack of Bad makes you feel complete? A love so sincere that it teaches you to love yourself? Affection so gentle and patient and kind and thoughtful and freely given, with no strings attached, that you don’t *need* to do or be anything or anyone but yourself and you actually really know that? God… my life was so warm when she was here. I used to hate Summer

Now I miss it

[atychiphobicm0th]

Y’all omg imagine being held by someone and getting kisses all over your face while having your back scratched. Or imagine just being snuggled up with your imaginary partner and being spoken to like a wounded animal and being told things like „everything is gonna be okay“ and „you’re doing so good, I’m so proud of you.“

couldn’t be me tho!! Wont ever be me unfortunately! 🤞🤡
