Lark’s buckler based on the Sunshield cover. I drew over the golden buckler, digitized the image as an embroidery file, and then made this! In the books Lark’s buckler is silver, but I like the gold for the sun shining off of it. Highlights and lowlights are sunny motif stitch patterns.

The Disability Library
I love books, I love literature, and I love this blog, but it's only been recently that I've really been given the option to explore disabled literature, and I hate that. When I was a kid, all I wanted was to be able to read about characters like me, and now as an adult, all I want is to be able to read a book that takes us seriously.
And so, friends, Romans, countrymen, I present, a special disability and chronic illness booklist, compiled by myself and through the contributions of wonderful members from this site!
As always, if there are any at all that you want me to add, please just say. I'm always looking for more!
Edit 20/10/2023: You can now suggest books using the google form at the bottom!

Bonnie, The Bennett’s, Black Witches and The Magical Negro Trope & Mammy Trope - TVD META
Bonnie and the Bennett’s have very rich lore. It’s not glorified by the fandom unless it’s by Bonnie fans themselves. That’s the way it’s always been, no one paying any mind or deeper thought to Bonnie/and the Bennett’s outside of her fans. This isn't a new thing but I want to highlight this once again because I don’t think fans understand there is more than one negative trope rooted in Bonnie, the Bennett’s and black witches only.
Before we get into anything heavy let’s have some key-terms here: Let’s define a magical negro trope: where a black character appears in a plot solely to help a white character and then vanishes. Now what a mammy is: a black woman engaged to take care of white children or as a servant to a white family.
Everything in the series can be tied back to a Bennett witch. Let’s list a few things the immortality spell, immortals, the other side, the cure, supernatural hunters, creating rings to preserve life, the Gilbert device but only a Bennett witch can enchant it, prison worlds, the traveler's curse, vampires, hybrids etc…You name it without the Bennett’s creation there would be nothing. You would think because of this the Bennett’s would be respected in the narrative and by fans. Wrong. Some of these women aren’t even given actual names. Everyone can have a Bennett witch at their disposal but they won’t be respected either. Bennett blood is essential to certain spells. A loophole.
Let’s talk about Ayana. The Mikaelson’s were only able to become vampires because Esther stole Ayana’s spell. It is forgotten that Esther/Mikael begged Ayana to perform the spell first. The Mikaelson’s as humans trusted Ayana. Rebekah was in shock that a necklace from Ayana burned her. While Ayana remained unnamed this time while the story was told. Rebekah was talking about Ayana. Ayana was known as a healer and given Esther’s praises they were close. The series doesn’t show us why Ayana should value the Mikaelson’s but we do understand why Esther, her husband and children valued her. That infamous necklace that Rebekah loved belonged to Ayana. We don’t know about Ayana’s life outside of being a healer. We don’t know her marital status, how many children she could’ve possibly had and anything tied to her after the plot has used her up. One would think with how close Ayana was to the Mikaelson’s, they’d have some respect or acknowledge Bonnie but that never happens.
We see this in how Emily was enslaved to Katherine. Julie may have labeled Emily a handmaiden but we knew what that meant. Emily only had one request from Damon that he watch and protect the Bennett line which he never did. The black witches never ask much of anyone in the plot or ever given the chance too. Yet when a request is made no one ever meets said request for them. This form of slavery repeats again through Lucy. She claimed Katherine saved her life therefore she is indebted to her for however long she needs. Sheila has her hand in aiding the Gemini Coven, Beatrice helped with the Sirens.
There are other witches that are black who serve a purpose to aid in many and leave such as: Gloria, The Martin’s, Bree, Aja and her coven just to name a few. Friends of the main characters or enemies but quickly there and dropped. Originally due to all witches appearing Black fans believed they were all Bennett’s. Julie has no answer for why all witches that is until they weren’t. Remember witches were servants of nature. The Mikaelson’s popularity, Gemini Coven and other witches. Fills the space that Black witches were once in. Notice a pattern here?
Qetsiyah’s plot line should’ve centered on how she created immortality, the cure, and the other side. But Qetsiyah’s existence revolves around demanding and enforcing continuous revenge on Silas and Amara. Tying her into another repeated love triangle in the franchise. May I add that she and Bonnie are the only women to have been betrayed by a partner and criticized for their reactions. There’s nothing wrong when a man wants and craves power but Qetsiyah is considered the worst of them all. Here’s an amazing video that details Qetsiyah’s writing too. Please review.
Lastly, The Bonnie of it all:
Bonnie’s a loyal, powerful and brave woman. She doesn’t let anything happen to her friends if she can stop it. She cares for them. That kind of loyalty can be beautiful but equally harmful when Bonnie has no regard to her own feelings. She continues to give for everyone and her friends rarely return the favor. Bonnie’s never thanked or rewarded for being there. The friendships stop being equal very early. Her traumas aren’t valuable in the plot. We don’t know what Bonnie’s home looked like. If Bonnie does grieve it isn’t shown on screen. Her family life is limited, while Liz and Alaric aren’t main characters. They have their own plotlines. It is revealed that Abby’s reasonings for abandoning her is for Elena’s benefit. Abby is killed in a coin toss and transitioned. Caroline gets to have a good friend moment while Bonnie isn’t have any feelings towards her mother for abandoning her after. Rudy isn’t seen in the plot longterm and when he appears in season 5 he’s killed in front of Bonnie. She grieves this in silence while grieving her own death that she didn’t make aware to her friends to avoid inconveniencing them. The plot makes it clear if the white counterparts aren’t happy then Bonnie will never either. Elena, Caroline got happier endings while Bonnie’s job was completed. Bonnie never once got to call out how her friends can disregard her, she feeds into them and they grow while sucking the life out of her. In the end, Bonnie went back to Africa. Never any reference to her life from there.
Another thing Bonnie isn’t shown to be feminine. Her best friends go on dates, go to dances, dress up and receive compliments. Caroline or Elena has ever given Bonnie a compliment that aided in her beauty. We don’t know Bonnie’s ambitions or fears. But you are aware when Bonnie wants to save her best friend. Thoughts on Bonnie’s relationships and ships is for the next meta though.
White witches did follow the servitude of others. They were still given the privilege of agency that black witches were never going to have. Witches like Dahlia existed, and although she had one goal she had more personality than others.
When you have people like the TVD writers that continue to push harmful stereotypes there’s always going to fans who listen and continue to perpetuate those stereotypes. The writers had no value for Black women nor do the fans. They don’t care about how black women or people of color are treated in fiction or the media simply because their favorites get to reap all the benefits. That tweet is just one tip of the iceberg, there’s plenty more from Bonnie’s relationships, and storylines.

Links starter kit for Queen's Thief fans
...for folks checking us out from Reddit and other fans looking for something new.
First, did you know the author herself is on Tumblr? Megan Whalen Turner keeps an active blog, and reblogs lots of interesting art, as well as posts about her own books: @meganwhalenturner
Emily B. Martin, a longstanding fan who was commissioned to make the wonderful promotional character portraits in 2020, has a blog here as well: @emilybeemartin
Many of the artists who have done cover art for the series are easy to find on Instagram, if you're also exploring over there. On Tumblr I've only found Antonello Venditti, who did the stunning Italian editions of The Thief | Il Ladro and The Queen of Attolia | La Regina di Attolia. He's here: @vendittiantonello
A good fan blog to check out first is the collaborative @fuckyeahqueensthief. Look through their archive to find many fan artists and other fans to follow!
If you're interested in fanworks events, the Hamiathes' Gift Exchange is planning to announce their 2023 schedule soon! They're on Tumblr for information at @hamiathesgiftexchange, with works to be posted on Ao3.
And if you'd like to look beyond Tumblr to meet people, look at the long-running LiveJournal group Eddis, Attolia, Sounis (often just "Sounis," to whom Return of the Thief was dedicated). They're here: https://sounis.livejournal.com/. On Discord, there's The Geninsula (Gen's peninsula): https://discord.gg/JYJufae. Both groups are some of the best their respective sites have to offer, imho.
And if you didn't find this post because you came from Reddit, go check out r/queensthief! I love those folks, too. And did you know there's MWT-approved official merch for the series, now, too? OwlCrate sells it.
Feel free to add more favorites in the replies!

Requests are OPEN🎉
Dear All,
Requests are now OPEN! Please feel free to send in your requests. I have listed the characters that I write for below the ‘keep reading’ line. A few things to remember:
I do NOT write ships like Buddie etc. I only write Reader-Inserts.
I only write for characters mentioned in the list as well as any that have been added under the Additional Characters sections on my Masterlist.
I have not yet written SMUT fics, but I am not opposed to doing so.
I do not currently have an uploading schedule, but I will try to get any requests done ASAP.
That’s all there is to say, so feel free to request!
Thanks,
Emily xoxo

While the Creatures of Light trilogy was my first jump into publishing, I think my second series, the Outlaw Road duology, is a stronger body of fiction.
By the time I was drafting book 1, I had found my feet as an author and had a better sense of my storytelling voice. While I love my protags from my first series, I think the three narrators from the Outlaw Road really came together as something special (oh, and the audiobooks are AH-MAZING; the voice actors did suuuuuch a good job!).
Book 1, Sunshield: A desperate outlaw, a sheltered diplomat, and a political prisoner find their paths crossing on a quest to expose a system of corruption.
Book 2, Floodpath: Imperiled by wilderness and their own tenuous alliances, Lark, Tamsin, and Veran each face massive risks to uncover the traitor threatening the fabric of society.
These books both got starred reviews from Publisher's Weekly, but they had the bad luck of releasing during the strictest parts of lockdown during 2020-2021, and as a result they got almost no hype. It was hard to know how to promote them when the world was so scary. But they weathered the worst of it and are still on bookshelves, which is the best an author can hope for. Like Creatures of Light, they should be available through your favorite book retailer (support your indies! Use bookshop.org instead of you-know-where!) or as a request through your local library (the audiobooks are on Hoopla/Libby and again, are LOVELY).

With reference to your last ask, I completely understand your 8-year-old love for Legolas. The hold he had over my 10 yo self cannot be exaggerated. I thought I was over it until Burn Like Cold Iron and Emily B. Martin's art and now I can feel the obsession coming back (this time with brown hair and earrings!).
Also a fic about ents and entwives!👀 I am intrigued!
Yesss @emilybeemartin has a GREAT Legolas design, he's so much fun!! (I mean, he's no Boromir, but I wouldn't kick him outta bed) I'm always a fan of non-film-based character designs. Although part of me still does love movie Legolas, but now that I'm an Old Fart, Orlando Bloom just looks a bit too young for me in that role (and I think he looks just terrible in the hobbit movies, but I know that's not his fault lol).
My undying love for Legolas did in fact die out around middle school, when I fell in love with Faramir instead. and that lasted for a good couple of years (with a slight break when I dumped faramir for zuko from avatar the last airbender) before I realized that Boromir was where it's at and I've stuck with that decision ever since XD
