Are you looking for a spooky read? Do you like urban fantasy or monster stories? Do you like stories about queer ladies dealing with monsters and getting into (and out of) shenanigans? Check out Shadows and a Touch of Magic.

From shadows that can be savior or destroyer to the creation of the first mermaids, Shadows and a Touch of Magic is a collection of monster stories and urban legends featuring women who love women full of fear, of love, of the strange, and of the whimsical.

Read on for a snippet from each short story 💜

"As she moved to the center of the room, trying to imagine her furniture here and herself living here, a cold breeze ghosted across the back of her neck. It raised the small hairs on the back of her neck and goosebumps down her arms." - Widow's Walk

"They were there again. The shadows that seemed to dip, sway and follow after her. Nijah Khoury glanced back as the edge of one shadow seemed to reach out towards her." - Shadowdancers

"“So, you want to be healed,” Amrita said after another sip of the wine. “What will you offer in return?”

“Anything,” Machi begged. “Anything I have. Please.”

“I heal you, you give me your first child. Fair’s fair, right?”" - Promises, Promises

"Thrilled that she was still alive, Cecily twisted in the water to study herself. Her tail was longer than her legs had been. She could feel power coiled in the muscles and ached to stretch her new body out." - To Become The Sea

"It called to her, stretched out lovely fingers and tempted her in. A small smile tugged at Haley’s lips as she listened. It sounded like the melody was coming from the opposite way of the lake again." - Feast of Sorrowed Breath

"She could clearly remember the last time she’d been swimming, the sun shining down on the blue water like it was today. That was years ago, however. No matter how many times she came to this pier, she never dared the water." - Trapped

"Have you ever heard of the smile maidens? I’d never heard of them before my travels and, at the beginning, I’d scoffed at the idea of them. It seemed such a silly name for a supernatural force that killed people or stole their souls." - The Smile Maidens

10.What are their parallels, whether in their personalities or their histories?

The moment we got this ask, I panicked and thought 'oh frig, what do they have in common besides being ginger'. But there's a lot of things that Nijah and Lilly share. Being the youngest brother, for example. Both were born and raised in La Noscea too, both started their carreers in Limsa Lominsa, both love sticking their noses in people's business even when they probably really should not. All in all, it makes them work well together, I find. @natstolemysocks

All of this is spot on, really. A'nijah also used to be as hot tempered as Lea'li back in the day. Which subdued quite a lot, or maybe just took a different form later. They both are also passionate as well when it comes to temperament. @confusedtia

अयं निजः परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम् उदार चरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्

this is for me and that is for other— such is the thinking of a narrow-minded person, whereas for the noble and broad minded persons, the entire world is one big family. — Maha Upanishad

given above is a subhashita from the Maha Upanishad, one of the Samanya (minor) Upanishads in Hinduism. a subhashita is a genre of Sanskrit epigrammatic poems which preach maxims, aphormisms, lessons and advices or carry a riddle. they are typically composed in four or two padas (lines).

the term 'subhashita' originates from two words: the prefix 'su' which means good, and the word 'bhashita' which roughly translates to 'that what is spoken' in english.

that, my dear reader, is the gyaan of the day

Tipsy lair review for Nightfalljay

I'm sleeby.

Elayne is a lovely lil pastel goth and I'm always weak for baker dragons. The outfit you have planned really brings out the best of her colours, like th blues in her sec. V lovely.

Cerulean is easily one of the best colours in the game I mean. Look at Astrophel. Look AT HIM. perfection. I really like his outfit scry agia but what you have on now looks like he threw on a bathrobe after a dip in a galaxy.nice

OOOOOH. So blackberry matches arcane primal perfectly. Wild, utterly wild. There was a time when I wa trying to match filigree to faceted eyes but I never figured that out. Well done! Aodrable baby that sees everything ever

I love Nexis' snippet of lore. The fella is rather put open, it seems. His outfit is also amazing. Really nice job.

I also do love a den mothery sort of dragon. Nijah here fits that role to a t, as hse seems to care for everyone. That's lovely.

My eyes hurt

I love Solanine's gene combo. She looks as venomous as the things she studies. V nice.

Yaay a g1! Is she your progen? I really love how alloy looks on fae f specifically. The bottom half of the woings always look so amazing, it ties in with her orange so well. Would love to know more aobut her.

What a fascinating fellow! It's nice to see that lovely aether preview in his bio - and also that his mate has one, too. They're too cute!

My goodness I love love LOVE her look. Sea siren, merfolk, pretty ol aquatic danger sign. I'm still weak for designs/lore like this even though I axed my own. Idk why. I live on an island irl. Anyway, her mix of apparel is perfection.

Holy CRAP what a great g1. Specactular mix of dark colours with purples working flawlessly. She is too cool

Pan-African theory in general, and the work of Rodney in particular, should be reconsidered as central to the development and genealogical construction of theories and knowledge upon which we build in the current moment. We now have many ways to reach the important issue of the fraught relationship between knowledge and power, and we have great work left to do to create knowledge that is liberatory in relation to power. Rodney’s work is one of our greatest models in this urgent task.

Walter Rodney: What They Don’t Want You To KNow

tragic horror trope: maha

it is the loneliest day of a vampire's life, the first time they look into a mirror and see their reflection missing. drinking blood sucks too, don't get me wrong, but as a vampire you had to learn to hide from the sunlight, from your family, all your friends, because you were unavoidably different now and you didn't know how to explain that to them in a way they would understand. you could get stranger's blood in bursts, but what is life when you can't know someone for longer than the night lasts? you left everything behind because it was easier than trying to tell them. i just hope you know you're not the only vampire out there, and that there exist people who will understand your situation without a word. they'll sit with you in the dark for as long as you'll need them to.
