writing tips blogs: “to make your character feel real and relatable you need to take a little from them.”
dystopian writers: “On it boss!” *turns to main character and points at them with a pencil* “No bitches, no family, no limbs, no hope, no healing, no rest, no peace, no clue, no wisdom, no help, no freedom, no redemption, no happy end, no comfort, no safety, no food, no mercy, no dignity, no conclusion, no impact, ONLY WAR.”

I find it very funny when people think that dystopian fiction is a warning for imaginary future issues that could arise and not a commentary on the very real very current failings of governments and society as a whole. And obviously it’s exaggerated because it’s fiction but the point is to sensationalize the absolutely insane things that are actually happening and typically get dismissed because of privilege or a desire to ignore/an inability to comprehend the true state of the world. This is particularly true for those of us that are disadvantaged in some way.

currently reading - Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White
“If they want me to be a monster one step closer to God, that's fine. In what world was their God ever a benevolent one?”
(more of this sort of stuff on my sideblog @astraemoodboards!)

I was angry when I wrote this book. I poured my trans rage and frustration and grief into this book. But of the many conflicts inside these pages, being trans isn't one of them.
I created a main character that was strong. Relentless. Generous. Clever. Kind. Flawed. Disabled. Trans. I wanted a world where being trans isn't a problem, and the characters could worry about big things, like taking down society instead.
Its unlike anything I've ever written, and defies genres. For that, and the time in my life it got me through, I will always love it.
It's free for the trans rights readathon this week, everywhere but Amazon.

best books i read in 2024:
"hell followed with us" andrew joseph white
rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️, 5
genre: dystopia, horror, mlm, transgender
synopsis:
Prepare to die. His kingdom is near.
Sixteen-year-old trans boy Benji is on the run from the cult that raised him—the fundamentalist sect that unleashed Armageddon and decimated the world’s population. Desperately, he searches for a place where the cult can’t get their hands on him, or more importantly, on the bioweapon they infected him with.
But when cornered by monsters born from the destruction, Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center, affectionately known as the ALC. The ALC’s leader, Nick, is gorgeous, autistic, and a deadly shot, and he knows Benji’s darkest secret: the cult’s bioweapon is mutating him into a monster deadly enough to wipe humanity from the earth once and for all.
Still, Nick offers Benji shelter among his ragtag group of queer teens, as long as Benji can control the monster and use its power to defend the ALC. Eager to belong, Benji accepts Nick’s terms…until he discovers the ALC’s mysterious leader has a hidden agenda, and more than a few secrets of his own.
A furious, queer debut novel about embracing the monster within and unleashing its power against your oppressors. Perfect for fans of Gideon the Ninth and Annihilation.

“They say when you unmask, you can never mask again. It’s not true for everybody; which is why I escaped.”
So who’s gonna write a Teen Dystopia novel about what’s being done to so many autistic kids in ABA and schools similar?
Who’s going to talk about what our generation has done and will do to stop the hatred towards us?

Last walked in to a room full of queer people and I and said 'So, you're all gay right? How do you keep from burning the world to the ground?' and I think these words are going to live in my brain until it does
