A pink playlist currently playing One of the Girls. There's pink and purple clouds as the song image. Below are the nest songs in the playlist with various punk and purple images. The songs are So Good (Halsey); Snooze (SZA); Flower (Johnny Stimson); Make You Mine (Madison Beer); Me Again (Sasha Alex Sloan); we can't be friends (Ariana Grande).

A pink and purple background with a white box in the middle that says Jack Greyson: What did I care if she was upset she was coming back to Cedar? My therapist constantly told me other people's feelings weren't my responsibility. And Mae Carpenter was especially not mine. We weren't even friends anymore.

A pink and purple background with a white box in the middle that says Mar Carpenter: I shook my head. It wasn't worth thinking about that. That was a long time ago and I was much more stable now. Jack meant nothing to me. We weren't even friends anymore.

A collage with five images-the four corners and a circular one in the middle. From the top left clockwise: a freckles closed eye, the Seattle skyline, a man and woman laying on the floor shirtless with nothing revealed, a black bra with white flowers on an open book, a woman with flowers in her hair whispering to a man.

#agentguide for WHEN THE MAGPIE FLIES (81k queer fantasy) When troublemaker and hobbyist scholar Magpie is chosen by the spirits, she breaks an ancient tradition rather than leave her best friend behind—and brings the wrath of spirits and humans alike down upon the realm. #questpit #Q #F

Text: An agent’s guide to When the Magpie Flies by M H Wottenmoss. Background of mountains, trees, and a giant mushroom. A magpie flies in the sky.

Pitch: Magpie of Lornwhen, hobbyist scholar and incurable troublemaker, dreams of becoming a Conduit. As the realm’s only defense against monstrous spirits, Conduits are beloved and privileged—and it’s Magpie’s best chance to escape the undertow of poverty. When a spirit chooses her for the honor, marking her with a cold, entrancing touch, her dream is suddenly within reach. To fully ascend as a Conduit, Magpie, alongside the other newly-chosen, must embark on a journey into the heart of the spiritwoods.
The only thing holding her back is her best friend, Calladonna.
There are rumors about how Conduits are changed by the mysterious journey, and Calla can’t shake the feeling that if Magpie leaves, she won’t come back. Determined to reassure her, Magpie convinces Calla to come along in secret, hidden from the other Conduits. For the first time, Magpie’s future is bright and shining—until one of the other Conduits turns up dead, and it seems like Calla may be to blame.

Comps: A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft: clueless lesbians, murder and betrayal, journey of ascension. Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher: found family, humor and darkness, perilous quest.

Also featuring undiscovered magic, monstrous spirits, chaotic academia, ill-advised rituals, haunted forest, queer & autistic ensemble cast, giant mushrooms, original music

Opening lines: The world went dark just after she jumped off the roof. In one moment she could see the clocktower before her, the ledge beneath its defunct face familiar and inviting, and in the next there was nothing. It wasn't an uncommon occurrence, necessarily, but damn if that wasn't inconvenient timing.

MOANA x SHADOW AND BONE A refreshed introduction to WHISPERS OF THE SEA, a YA Fantasy that will embark soon on its query journey. Featuring: 🌊 Native Hawaiian Rep 🌊 Cultural Identity 🌊 Setting as a Character #QuestPit #YA #F #W #OwnVoices #AgentsGuide

A refreshed introduction to WHISPERS OF THE SEA, a YA Fantasy that will embark soon on its query journey.

Featuring:
Native Hawaiian Rep
Cultural Identity
Setting as a Character

The second slide showcases the pitch:

WHISPERS OF THE SEA follows the story of a teenage girl who embarks on a journey to rescue her uncle after he was mysteriously captured by a group of uniformed men sailing under the royal flags of a faraway kingdom.

Keahi must voyage across the seas to this distant isle where she’ll team up with a boy to track her uncle’s whereabouts. But in order to understand the dangers that lurk ahead, she’ll be forced to uncover a lifetime worth of secrets—and she must do so before it’s too late.

The third slide indicates that WHISPERS OF THE SEA might appeal to fans of: Disney’s Moana, Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, and Curious Tides by Pascale Lacelle.

The book includes the following tropes/themes: found family, self-discovery within cultural identity, Hawaiian-inspired mythology, and adventure.

The final slide includes a snippet from the book that reads:

“Keahi’s legs were immobilized as her body tried to make the decision her mind could not. The feeling was strange for she had dreamt countless of times about leaving the island, only to seize the opportunity and awaken to find that she had been sold a nightmare instead.”

A moodboard of nine images conveys a mysterious and eerie tone of mystery and thriller. Elements include a hand on fingerprint documents, turbulent ocean water, anonymous figures with cryptic text, a spiral staircase, a quote on moral dilemmas, a tentacled creature silhouette, missing person posters, a stormy lighthouse, and a bulletin board with clippings.
