there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Elizabeth Taylor in an 80s press conference speaking on the stigma of AIDS “…And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, Bitch, do something yourself.” from the documentary “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes.”

can’t decide whether getting a rejection on a query on the same day you send it is soul crushing or, like, kind of a relief because at least you’re not waiting for 3 months?? when I settle on a feeling I’ll let you know

That old saw about how “good times make weak men” is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they’re too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

Introducing the three POV & the lovely Widow for my novel Threads of Aerythel: Dragonfly - a dark epic fantasy. Check out all my questpit posts for a full picture! #questpit #A #Q #DF #LGBT Post 2/4

Isolde Ridelle
Eye color is lilac
Hair color is ptinum
Signet is the emerald signet

Isolde Ridelle has spent her life in the quiet village of Rosewater, far from war and the unseen forces that shape the empire of Delheim. When she is hunted for reasons she does not understand, she is thrust into a world of forbidden magic, shifting allegiances, and a legacy she never asked for.

Isolde, on the contrary, admired the old stone cottages, with their pastel-colored window shutters, well-tended flowerbeds, and ornate awnings. Many of the houses had stood there for several generations, worn by time but no less loved. It was that steadfast spirit that characterized her childhood. Burdenless.

Name: Elara Eastwell
Eye color is Amber
Hair is chestnut
Signet is the ruby signet

Elara Eastwell, a devoted weaver bound by sacred oaths, uncovers secrets that threaten the very foundation of her order. The deeper she delves, the more she is forced to ask whether upholding her vows is worth the cost—or if breaking them is the only way to protect what truly matters.

Elara raised a brow, Cassandra's warm breath close to her lips. She wanted more—and loathed to admit it. There was provocation in the way she smiled that could not be overlooked. She might have fallen into the Widow's web, but she was too careful. The Weaver had already learned that lesson.

Name: Aleric Belmont
Eye Color: Blue
Hair: Blonde
Region: Delheim
Signet: Sapphire Signet

Description:
As Sigilbearer of The Circle, Aleric Belmont is no stranger to power,
but the ruins hold more than redemption. When old sins resurface,
he must decide whether atonement is within his grasp or if it was never
his to claim.

Excerpt:
Aleric stood by an old brazier and warmed his hands above the crackling
flames. They fought the freeze but could never win. He lingered for a half
hour or more, breathing in the musty scent of dust and the deep, earthy
smell of leather bindings. He once relished the quiet, when he could
settle undisturbed into the depths of his thoughts. The illusion of peace
could never last. Now, his own mind had become a prison.

Name: Cassandra
Eye color: Brown
Region: Alphentine
Hair colro: Dark
Signet: Onyx Signet

Cassandra El'Diar, known as the Black Widow, is the head of the sigilbearers and a formidable agent of The Circle. As wielder of the onyx signet Yndral, she commands both political influence and ancient magic in her tireless mission to safeguard what she believes most precious. Behind her carefully measured authority lies deeper motives that blur the lines between protection and possession.

Cassandra observed a brilliant Frucalen with ribbed leaves and intricate petals. The mauve flower released a sweet, fruity fragrance—The Weaver's favorite. Elara could not help but wonder at her game. Everything felt intentional, and she would not put it past the Widow to have planned every minute detail of their meeting.

It was real."

NOW, WITH THE HELP OF A SOUL-COLLECTING REAPER NAMED SONNY, HE MUST UNCOVER WHO IS RELEASING MONSTERS FROM HELL, IN ORDER TO EARN BACK THE LIFE THAT WAS STOLEN FROM HIM AND PREVENT THE ONCOMING END OF DAYS.
FACED WITH THE CHOICE BETWEEN WHAT IS RIGHT, AND WHAT IS EASY, BILL MAY HAVE TO SACRIFICE ALL HE HOLDS DEAR FOR ONE LAST SHOT AT LIFE.
