Chiitan loves all genders 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Because I myself have no gender. Even now, transgender people are carrying deep anxiety— yet I believe they have the right to freely love the ones they desire, and to live together with their true soul.

Still... working on this scene and I think it's more goosebumps than epic but...it's the best I got right now lol #summerofstories

He knows them.
Darrien shakes his head, slamming his hands over his ears. That didn’t block the thoughts.
“Darrien…” Yuri might have continued that sentence, but it faded into white noise quickly.
They can help.
They understand.
Oh, they understand everything.
He shakes his head again, breathing hard - gods…can’t breathe- can’t breathe…
He can’t breathe.
Why can’t he breathe!
None of this makes sense! He shouldn’t feel this way at all! He…he doesn’t feel this way! This can’t be him!
Fire!
Fighting!
Too loud!
Too much!

Not important.
Moving, moving. So many people moving!
Not important.
No, no that’s not important - they’re in danger, that’s important!
Danger.
Yes. They’re all in danger!
Then stop it.
“...Stop…it?” he mutters, like he’d just remembered he knew how to speak.
Yes. Stop it. Stop them.
“Stop…them…”
But how…I’m not…how can I do anything?
The pressure building up inside him only seemed to get worse. It was hard to think, hard to feel, hard to see.
How can you do anything?
What an interesting question.
You’ve forgotten then.
You can -

Ooh, finally a word I've used this project XD

The tension seemed to drain from Darrien’s body. He seemed impossibly peaceful against the backdrop of flames and fighting. Impossibly calm as he let out that breath.
His eyes shot open.

Necessity. I need to. My brain creates characters, images, voices, emotions. I have to express it somehow, or I start going crazy. Everything I read/watch gives me story or fic ideas. It. Does. Not. Stop. My lungs breathe, my heart beats, my mind tells stories. #SummerOfStories #writingcommunity

Writing has really been so good for me. I have learned things about myself from writing that I never would have otherwise. Writing is my safe space and a way to make all my thoughts make sense. I've found I really don't enjoy life as much when I can't write lol

Atlas - Writing @atlascrossman.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Ah! Whether I start in medias res really depends on the story. In my current novel WIP I started with my character very dramatically waking up from a nightmare, took a few lines and then jumped into the current events. Sometimes I like somewhat philosophical starts to my stories haha

It's funny, I've been writing stories for like ten years and yet suddenly I think I know why I'm struggling with novels?? I think I like episodic stories, like I can read and write novels, but it's all just more interesting to me when it's episodic. And the thing is, I should have worked this out-

If you see this, post an archer. Nobody said it couldn't be a trans magical girl who fires glowing arrows from her acoustic guitar 😊 (art by @windygria.art )

Jade Evergreen, a trans magical girl from "Magica Riot." She has a green naval-style jacket with gold trim, a black skirt, a white frilly blouse, black buccaneer-style boots with wide cuffs, red hair shaved on the side, glasses, and a dark stripe of makeup across her eyes. She is wielding a magical acoustic guitar and firing glowing green arrows from it.

One year ago, you met my queer Portland rock band/magical girl squad, and their new trans member, Claire. Soon, it'll be time for their next adventure! "Magica Riot: Full Bloom" is the sequel to my debut. This is the cover, once again by @ambisweetiepie.bsky.social. Release date & preorders soon!

The cover for queer magical girl novel "Magica Riot: Full Bloom," by Kara Buchanan. The text "Magica Riot" is in the upper left corner in black in a combination of fantasty/crystalline and punk script fonts, while "Full Bloom" is below it in an interwoven script font in orange, red, and purple.

The artwork depicts two trans girls, Iris and Bloom, laying on a bed of orange rain lilies. Iris has purple hair that fades to orange at the tips. She is wearing an orange sun dress, and is laying with her eyes closed. One hand is draped across her stomach, and the other is reaching up. Her fingertips are barely touching those of Bloom, also laying on her back and who is wearing a black corset dress, red bow, and long black gloves. She also has purple hair. Her eyes are open, and red. In her other hand, she holds a purple flower.

Iris and Bloom are arranged diagonally across the page, head to head.

I'm so sorry, but I'm sick of hearing this. If you "accept" me, you have to "accept" all of me. If you can't "affirm my" so-called "sin", then you're categorically rejecting who I am. That's not love. That's not compassion. That's hate and ignorance with a ribbon on it.

To kick off ADHD Awareness Month, I suggest; 1. Open 70 tabs on your computer. 2. Work on a task on one tab for 5-20 mins max. 3. Move to the next tab. 4. Repeat until you forget what you were doing on most tabs. 5. Now finish your work on all of them! -snapshot of using internet while having ADHD 😉
