Carly Rae Jepsen is great in part because her songs are horny in ways that most musicians can't capture all of. Cheerfully horny. Wistfully horny. Hornnui. She has the horny range.

honestly so incredibly pleased with this result.

Jonny’s results for the Which TO OUR UNTAMED CORE Character Are You? quiz, which gave them Socoyote as their first result, with a 45% match. There is artwork of Socoyote, a lean, brown, adolescent boy wearing a loose grey tank, with shoulder length black hair. For his results description, it states “Despite the cards you've been dealt, you try your best to see the good in people. You're a kind soul, though you might benefit from thinking things through before acting on your impulses.”

This and "why is diversity in books and media important?" can both be retired as interview questions in the year of our Lord 2026. I know they're asked with good intent. I just want us to take the conversation further not keep circling, you know?

this one is Lindelin but also Astarion right before they gay kiss 😌 tbh I started this run planning on romancing Wyll but then all of us a sudden I’m bonking a vampire so I said, sure let’s go with this now I guess

Here are some excerpts from their interview, where they discuss what readers can expect from FUTBOLISTA, what it was like writing about a soccer player, wanting to impart expressions of positive masculinity, and how readers can show up for authors affected by book bans.

Graphic with a white-gray gradient background displaying a pull-quote from WNDB’s interview with Jonny Garza Villa. The quote says, “I think, as a queer person, and especially as a queer person of color, the most courageous act one could do is to choose to love themself, wholly and completely.” In the bottom left-hand corner is a mock-up image of a hardcover copy of “Futbolista” by Jonny Garza Villa.

The quote says, “I want to present a masculinity that shows it’s okay to be emotional around people you trust and care about; how fraternity, in that sense, in being unafraid to be close to your guy friends, to celebrate and struggle and care for them as they do you, to be brothers, doesn’t take away from your masculinity. If anything, it’s the purest celebration of it.” In the bottom left-hand corner is a mock-up image of a hardcover copy of “Futbolista” by Jonny Garza Villa.

Stonewall Award Winning author, Jonny Garza Villa, was kind enough to stop by the WNDB newsletter to “spill the tea” on their new release, FUTBOLISTA — a classmates-to-friends-to-lovers new adult romance that’s equal parts raunchy, heartfelt, queer, and abundantly Mexican-American!
