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!

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!

I'm not afraid

Long live all the mountains we moved

I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you

I was screaming, "Long live the look on your face"

And bring on all the pretenders

One day we will be remembered

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! 🤞🤡

God I am fucking pathetic...

My friend: has explicitly turned me down, twice (long story), and I was like "ya yk what I think I'm finally over her, I don't need to think about this again"

*is fine for like month*

Then:

*One particularly lovely phonecall with her and two cute selfies from her in the groupchat later*

"god fucking damn it"

[homeofasexual-mess]

My train is about to depart

going to my ancestral place

My parents' house, for better and worse

When with a heavy heart

I hear calling, the monotone pace

The pa spouts a name in the manner hoarse

Another train, that comes to you

Another route, a happier week

The bittersweet deja-vu

Promises made, decision unquick

Writing this poem my train leaves

This uncertainty makes me sick

The route is set,

The future locked

Another path chosen be cannot

I just hope to see you again soon

And that your heart remembers me everyday

Mine sure does you

Two trains, August 2024

Hey now, some spoilers.

I am literally having the time of my life, both as an Izuku fan and as a bkdk fan like. We won so hard for that one. I hope Kacchan's ranks skyrockets and that Izuku keeps being both a teacher and a hero with his friends. They deserve it i swear.

Also big win for women lovers this chapter idk what i would have some without them fr 🙏

Why is nobody talking about Tsuyu's bangs I love her bangs
