#AwesomeCharacters I'd say Emily laughs quite a bit~ She likes having a good time with friends, so she might have a good natured laugh when they're joking around. Nanashi laughs some, though probably not as quickly as Emily. He's more likely to make others laugh, and he's fine with that~

🔥FIRE TO FLOWERS🪻 After betraying her late lover, a vampire hiding her curse goes on a journey of penance with a holy knight possessed by her ex’s spirit. 🌹Black-coded elves 🌹Colorful dark fantasy 🌹Explanation, not excuses 🌹Equal platonic & romantic relationships #QuestPit #Q #DF #H #A #POC #LGBT

$Moodboard for my novel Fire to Flowers, depicting a black woman covered in blood and roses, purple hyacinths, baroque architecture, fractal art, and a skinned dog monster. Text describes some of the story's tropes: dual timelines, cosmic fractal horror, healing after trauma, visceral vampires, demons + angels (kinda), annoyances to friends, lush fantasy setting, and glimmers of hope.$ Comp titles for Fire to Flowers.

I Am Made of Death by Kelly Andrew:
Vibrant color
Visceral horror
Fear of oneself
Combative MCs

Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang:
Flawed characters
Political themes
Magic as science
Social status tensions

The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett:
Strange setting
Lush world
Queer-normative
Analytical MC

Prose samples from Fire to Flowers:

She would claim what she was owed. She would make every loathsome soul see the wages of their disdain. She would rip open the throat of this wretched world and watch paradise drown in its own blood.
Perhaps that, at least, would be enough.

“Behold, the most important room of the palace,” Tiferet announces, the fabric of her dress sparkling as she twirls in place. “Nowhere in Flaundrys will you find such a locus of staggering innovation and breathtaking beauty! The woman who resides here must surely be the envy of all Tron Daurat!”
Casimir glances, briefly, across the study, then rolls his eyes. “And that woman is you,” he drones.
Her arms drop, but a smirk still plays across her lips. “Oh, don’t spoil the fun.”

The death of an elf, once such a rare thing, still brings with it a small token of beauty. Perhaps it is one last unconscious act of creation performed just before the end, or perhaps it is merely the effect of the Ohr leaving their body. Whatever the cause, if the surroundings allow for it (even, at times, when they should not), a patch of mismatched flowers blooms at the site of their death.
Snowflakes fell in the town’s flower-choked streets, stark against the dark hues of dried blood and mangled remains, and Tiferet’s heart hardly stirred. It was a tragedy, yes; just like all the other tragedies that made up the last thirteen years.

The dark treeline behind the inn vomits a wave of horrors.
No two demons are anything alike. Some are hulking masses, some smaller than an elf. They crawl on teeth like fingers. They fly on feathers of skin. A tongue ends in a head, whose tongue ends in a head, whose tongue ends in a head. A face pockmarked with vacant holes stares at nothing. The tail of one wears the visage of a sleeping child.
And each is a vulgar, shrieking paroxysm of color.

(Too much text to include)

Musical vibes for Fire to Flowers:

Witching Hour by In This Moment
Alraune - Whisperer of Dementia from Bayonetta 2
Keeping Secrets from Monaco 2
JFK by Azealia Banks
Drip by Nova Twins
The Dark Below by Tigercub
Born a Snake by P.O.S.

My book Dido on the Edge (of which you've heard a few related songs this month) arrives October 24th! Are you up for some queer fantasy romance about a closeted trans girl trying to figure out who she is while also saving the world? #SongsOfSeptember

Dido Dahl is a lonely, closeted trans girl who’s not sure she wants to stick around in this world any longer. So, it’s not exactly unwelcome when she’s pulled into another one altogether.
Plunged into the strange and dangerous land of Edgewise, Dido is made a promise: if she reaches the end of this story, she’ll have every one of her deepest, unspoken wishes granted. All she needs to do is stay alive, and fortunately she’s got some help in that department. A crack military team led by Wendy Darling and Dorothy Gale, both veterans of the worlds of fiction, are here to get her across the Edge and to the person she’s always dreamed of being.
But her new friends aren’t the heroes they once were. Wendy, stuck in her early 20s for a century after an overdose of fairy dust, is falling apart and Dorothy, now simply calling herself “Dee”, is hiding something terrible. To get through the ending, Dido's not just going to have to save herself, but them as well.
Before the black rainbow lurking on the horizon takes them all…

Dee stands atop a staircase decorated with skulls, dressed in military uniform
