I wanna take a minute to talk about the Looks of the entire cast of OFMD S2.

I think we're all pretty familiar with the male gaze. Lots of skin, tits and ass, that sort of thing.

The female gaze has been debated, but it looks something like a sexy college professor or himbo househusband.

What OFMD S2 absolutely nails is the queer gaze.

Look at this man.

An absolutely beautiful man. Who wears crop tops and leather pants. Long hair up in a messy bun. He's wearing eyeliner. And pearls.

And here.

Drawn on facial hair. Spaulders. Bracers. Fishnet sleeves. A MOTHERFUCKING MULLET.

These badasses.

The teeth and chains. SO MUCH MAKEUP. Big fancy coat with nothing underneath. Glam met goth and fucked out these looks.

And THE SWEDE!

Cropped jacket. Ponytail. Asymmetrical button fly. Decorative chains (again).

All of this screams queer. If I saw any of these people in a bar I'd be like "Yep, one of us." The gender fuckery of it all. The feminine and the masculine all thrown in together in perfect combinations. Decoration for its own sake. Jewelry and flashy adornment and gorgeous peacockery.

And we love it. The fandom is going absolutely feral over these looks, these actors, as we very well should. There is not a single member of this cast who has not had beautiful art lovingly made depicting them.

Fuck the male gaze, fuck the female gaze. Give me the queer gaze. Give me queer creators making queer media for queer audiences and absolutely nailing it. These people are not at all what Hollywood usually thinks sexy looks like, yet we want to devour every one of them. This is what queer beauty looks like. What queer sex appeal looks like. What queer desire looks like.

Fuck yes. It's about time.

bastille has done more for the queer community by just making all of their love songs about "you" instead of specifying a gender than taylor swift has in all of her discography. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

My fish Baja Blast died last night.

But at least I got back into my Tumblr account after I was mysteriously locked out of it ever since the Republican slash fic post.

RIP Baja, you were a blast.

That's the beauty of writing, nobody ever said it has to be realistic.

In fact, it doesn't have to be anything. There are no rules.

Write what and how you wanna write. It's your world. Build it the way you want to build it.

If it looks good to you, it's good. Period.

And you might come back and it doesn't look good to you anymore. Change it.

I try pretty hard to convey realistic speech patterns in my writing but sometimes it doesn't work and I can't get my flow across the way I hear it in my head. Then I remind myself that nobody is gonna read it the exact same way I'm hearing it in my mind, so it will be just fine if I adjust it for the sake of making it flow better vs. making it sound real.

I think the only thing that's really important is that your characters maintain a consistent voice throughout the story, not that they always sound realistic, because if you think about real life dialogue, we don't always have perfect grammar or perfect patterns of speech, we say whatever comes to mind. Sometimes it sounds weird. Sometimes it sounds cringey. Sometimes it doesn't make complete sense. That's just part of being human.

The best thing you can do to make your writing realistic is to make it human, imperfect, weird, and wonderfully human.

Sometimes it's useful to look at your dialogue and ask yourself, "would a real human being talk like that?" But it's also good to ask the follow-up questions of "would the way a real human being talks sound good here" and "does this character actually talk like a real human being or are they weird about it."

When I went to Megacon I was trying desperately to find like, ANYTHING with Gale on it and I kept getting told "Nah, we have Astarion though. Gale just isn't fun to draw."

Sorry but if you think a fucking wizard with a glowing tattoo representing essentially a bomb in his chest, with a flying cat for a pet, who you can have astral projection bang bang with is NOT FUN TO DRAW, you're not TRYING!

No shade to Astarion but his eyes don't fucking glow either. Gale is absolutely fun to draw. Tumblr alone proves that.

Gale needs more love.

The ultimate chaotic pansexual king we should all strive to be.

This man showed up, drew naked women, had sex, destroyed marriages, took a shit in the middle of a pub, cross-dressed, flirted with men, made out with Arthur Morgan and then left the country. Fair enough actually.

I know it's such a small, minor achievement but seeing this gives me so much hope and makes me so happy.

For a short period of time most likely, Ruby Bird is the #1 downloaded Romance Litfic on Amazon. Just knowing people wanna read it, I know it's free but people are reading my work! My original work, my original characters that I have put my heart and soul into! It makes me immensely happy and I just wanna celebrate this little bit of success.

Ruby Bird will be free for another few days, can I get it to #1 in gay romance? I don't know, but we can try 😊
