Queer reads: Foz Meadows

For day 13, I bring you Foz Meadows. Meadows recently published A Strange and Stubborn Endurance, which I quite enjoyed, but I wanted to recommend some of their earlier work, The Manifold World duology: An Accident of Stars and A Tyranny of Queens.

These books are portal fantasies, and they’re great. An Accident of Stars tells the story of Saffron Coulter, who finds herself in Kena, a world with fucked up politics, magic, and weirdly fantastic dragons (that’s fantastic as in awesome, but also as in fantasy, because, you know, dragons.) A Tyranny of Queens is a continuation of Saffron’s story after she came back to the mundane world and no one fucking believed her. These books are hella queer, with rep across the whole LGBTQ spectrum.

I’d recommend these to fans of Seanan MacGuire’s Wayward Children novellas, except I’d say Foz Meadows does a better job with character driven story telling than MacGuire does. So yeah, check them out.

coords: -6562 63 -560

i followed the dirt trail further to find another nether portal and entering it i found

coords: -8046 68 -146

were these things ever shown on stream or is this a private thing that i should purge any existence of from the internet?

ok i've been thinking about this for a couple of days. i think c!jack is infertile. cus after he got brought back to live hes technically a corpse cus he climbed out of hell so he probably couldnt bear children. but before that i still think his womb was barren. not that itd matter because if he could get pregnant its 1. unlikely he'd find himself in a scenario where it would actually happen and 2. if he DID get pregnant he'd abort it immediately

The funniest part to me about the Bi-Curious TommyInnit coming out is I distinctly remember this one tiktok I saw back in 2021 (or early 2022??) That was like "Bisexual streamers 1!1!1" which included Ranboo, Tubbo and Tommy- to which people told them "Hey maybe let's not speculate on real people's sexualities"

Which obviously is like, very valid and they were right for saying it. (And obviously they were partially wrong with the bi label specifically with Ranboo and Tubbo) And obviously obviously I'm not condoning doing that because it was pretty weird of them to do.

But I keep thinking of it and just fucking CACKLING now because like. Dude they clocked it years before the man himself did what the fuck

Hello 👋

I went to World Con in Dublin 2019 and bought myself a 'blind' book - it was wrapped in brown paper with a brief description of the story. I am so glad that it turned out to be An Accident of Stars, which I Devoured. I've since read all of your books I managed to get my hands on, but nothing will beat the pure joy I had at that first book.

So glad you're on tumblr so I get to tell you this 😘

ahhhh, thank you so much! I'm

the lack of manifold worlds fic is convincing me to write one

[hermitcrossovers]

etho stared at the immobile body lying before his giant redstone-powered tamagotchi face. he shuffled his inventory around for a few moments, crafting a stick out of wooden planks.

hesitantly, etho took a few steps closer to the maybe dead body. whose chest didn't show any signs of movement, to poke it. the body, under further inspection, was an older teen with a buzzcut coated in a thick layer of gunpower and ash. any sliver of visible skin that etho could see that wasn't cybernetic parts was covered in deep purple-blue bruises.

prodding the teen in the shoulder with the stick resulted in a heart-wrenching gasp and the teen lurching up and away from the foreign touch. his arms flailing, confused if he needed to attack or defend.

etho took a few steps back to give the panicked teen some space. it took a few moments for the teen take a few deep breaths and shakily stood up, mismatched red and blue eyes met his as he scanned the area. the teen's eyes flashed with fear, taking a step back before his shoulders straighten out, face flushing red with anger.

"who the hell are you and where am i? this isn't limbo." the teen snarled out, wide eyes searching for a weapon to defend himself.

etho let out a strained laugh, shifting even more back, "i was about to ask you the same thing. my name is etho and you are currently in my single player world. i was hoping you knew how you ended up here."

the tension leaked away from the teen's shoulder the more etho talked. "i'm jack, jack manifold from dream smp. dunno how i got here really, just fucking died yeah? this bloke ran his sword though my guts. terrible times, terrible times," jack joked as he looked around taking in the jaringly different sight from the war-torn crater he just left, "thought there would be more fire and brimstone, all the works when i died. not all this fancy building shit."

"oh, snappers." etho said in despair. knowing that his peaceful life would be ruined, maybe beef would take the angry teen off his hands.
