Unfortunately I am not gaslight gatekeep girlbossing. I am goofy giddy girlcrushing.

the fact that women who look at women and see poetry feel more shame than men who look at women and see pornography is baffling to me

Any tips for writing sapphic romance

I don’t think writing sapphic romance is much different from writing any kind of romance. Feelings are feelings, and human beings are human beings. We all experience love in very different ways, and yet it renders us crazy and desperate all the exact same.

I don’t write romance, but romantic fantasy; the nuance is that rather than having the plot gravitate around a relationship, the relationship supports my plot (usually a magical adventure of sorts). And whether i write wlw, mlm, or else, I don’t change my formula. I make every character unique and imperfect, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation.

What I like is putting them in uncomfortable situations (aka hell) and then watching them suffer, really. I put together people that originally don’t belong together + forced proximity + having them face their fears + having them help & rely on one another + slow burn + making them actually get to know one another + making them doubt and cry and get real with their emotions and feelings + having their beliefs being ripped apart, twice, because betrayals + pain pain pain

Too often, I read romances that start with a physical attraction and never elaborate much deeper. Attraction is great for just dating, it’s great for erotica, but if you want a much stronger story and a relationship to seem believable, they have to go through rough patches, they have to test their limits and see the worst of each other. No one’s perfect. That’s cliche, but that’s true. Your characters can’t (and shouldn’t) be perfect either—that’s boring and no reader will identify with them. Us readers are like our characters, we want someone who will keep on loving us when we’re bleeding and screaming and hurting and making mistakes (deadly or else).

That being said, writing sapphic literature, and not necessarily romance, allows me to get more chances to explore some topics that are important to me: feminism, feminine rage, women’s sexuality, inclusiveness, friendships between women, trans women, women of colour, women being women, women supporting women, etc.

These can all be written into non-sapphic stories, of course, but the more you make space for women into your pages, the more characters are women, the more voices you give them. And us women have so many things to say.

When people ask me why I choose to write sapphic stories, here’s my answer: I simply love writing about women because women can be anyone and everything, and that’s enough for me.

Hope this helps🖤✨

You know what, i don't care. I love flirting with married women

Innocently, I mean it, I'm not trying to steal his girl- ok, ok, ok OK OK I don't think I'll/succeed/ but fr level with me here

As a wlw, flirting with married women who appreciate it and love it and respond is just amazing. I brought this girl flowers as a gift when her man invited me to their place for dinner and he pulled me aside and said "you're one-upping me dude, she's gonna expect this from me now ugh"

Good. Good. I'm raising your wife's standards, AND I get to make the pretty girl giggle. Excellent. Step up your game, bro

You ever just want a hyperfem girl to yap wonderful music to your ears of her talking about her interest for hours as she just sits on your lap and you play with her hair, or is that just me?

not to be dramatic, but if I had a girlfriend I could read poetry to and cook breakfast for and go grocery shopping with I think I would be cured

Not going to lie, the sapphic in me was hoping Michelle Rodriguez would hulk out and scream “I would like to rage.”
