I’ve been thinking a lot today about how nostalgia can trap and trick you. I, for the most part, live a charmed and privileged life. Yes, I have experienced loss - some of it devastating and much of it in the last few years - but I am often filled with joy and gratitude for what I have. 1/3

For a while I’ve been contemplating how the pace at which I write seems to have slowed dramatically since I had COVID in 2020. But when I think about it, it’s hard to tell if COVID damaged my ability to write, or if it’s the uniquely stressful four years in which we have been living.

I know authors need to have tough skin, but was it really necessary for my characters to leave these one star reviews on goodreads?! #UnhingedPit #YA #F #R #LGBT #W
A fake one star goodreads review from Princess Mira:

You guys know I’m a fan of sapphic besties to lovers, but the constant pining between the two princesses was sooooo frustrating. After the millionth stolen glance and billionth moment of OBVIOUS flirting I wanted to bang my head off the castle walls. And the way they both keep trying to deny it? Like come on! YOU’RE CLEARLY IN LOVE. JUST KISS ALREADY!!!

#the-closet-is-made-of-glass #you-arent-fooling-anyone #good-for-them-thoA fake one-star goodreads review from Princess Dorothea:

Loved the treasure hunt. Loved the thing with the mermaids. Honestly, I didn’t even mind the redhead character being the feisty one. But do you have ANY idea how expensive first class tickets to The Bahamas are right now? I thought it was safe to read this with my gf because, yanno, it’s FANTASY, but the setting is clearly influenced by some beautiful tropical island and now she wants to go. I may be a princess, but I’m not MADE of money, people! Spirit it is (and I’m NOT talking about the ghost pirate).

#spoiled-gf #love-herA fake one-star goodreads review from Captain Amir:

First things first: 100-year-old pirates CAN use goodreads, okay?

The best character is stuck inside the head of a teenage princess almost the whole time. “But what about the life lessons?” NO. What about how annoying it is that the pirate captain’s curse gets broken in the most infuriating how-did-I-miss-this way? Let’s focus on THAT. I bet my first mate that I could solve the stupid riddle before him and I will be seeking damages for the rum I lost.

#rumnearme #heysirigooglerum #whattheA fake one-star goodreads review from John:

I liked this story but my best friend Mira told me to give it one star.

#biodiversity #its-actually-really-good #sorry

There are three comments: 

Captain Amir says: Are you kidding me? Did you learn NOTHING from the fisherman's son's character arc?

Princess Mira says: shut up Amir !! love u John <3

Princess Dorothea says: lmao classic

This is a cork pinboard with 6 images pinned to it: 
1. A YouTube comment that says: "they look more tired than sad" well after years of being sad you just kinda get tired of it all (frowning face) 
2. A screenshot from The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror with a fortune teller lady ominously saying, “You will bring bad luck to everyone you love!” 
3. A quote tweet of a Classical Chinese painting featuring a woman spying on a pair of embracing male lovers. The quote tweeter wrote “this diva.”
4. A scene from a webtoon where a guy is raising a hand to the person in the office cubical next to him and saying, “Can you please look away so I can continue with my beautiful fantasies?”
5. A meme of a short, weird penguin-looking thing labeled “me” next to a cool-looking woman with short black hair, a black cropped top, black shorts, and black stockings labeled “the girl I pulled by being goofy” 
6. A tumblr post that says, “you’re weirdly obsessed with finding meaning,” and the reply to it that says, “what do you mean by this”
