I would add that emotional stakes are the only ones that matter. oh, the world is ending?? nobody gives a shit, man. that's too big for people to even contemplate. you can have that, but you have to back it up with human-level stuff, like "my dog is dying and you're wasting my last hours with him"
A forlorn landscape of layered rocks in the foreground, with hills fading into the background haze. At upper top right, a small crescent moon, and a bright star.
Open up this picture fully.
Then look at the surface of Mars.
Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
That's Earth.
A collection of three bust-up character designs! Left to right is a tiefling, elf/half-elf, and another elf/half-elf (these are open to interpretation of course). #1: A dark, muted blue-skinned tiefling with short ridged horns that stick straight up from behind a wide-brimmed hat that has a slight red and purple gradient on the underside, as well as a golden webbed pattern. A golden spider pendant dangles from the hat. Their clothing follow the same color palette, with flowy fabric hanging off the shoulders crossed leather atop the chest, a simple shirt that forms a diamond-shaped boob window in the middle, and an ornate golden filigree neck piece. They have warm orange eyes and makeup, and fluffy white hair that ends at the jaw— save for two longer pieces in front of the ears that hit the collarbone. #2: A smaller-figured character with warm olive skin and a color palette rife with earthy reds, browns and greens. Their hair is dark brown and curly, the back reaches midway down the neck. They have two black gauges with rose patterns on them. Their coat is dark brown and adorned with black thorns, with a deep red interior shown in the collar. The collar is somewhat torn and the rest of the coat has stitches scattered about. Bronze rings are clipped onto the collar and fasten a green scarf around their waist. They have one cursed(?) eye that is gray with a red pupil, and sharp black markings decorate the skin around it. #3: A messy, fluffy, cold-vibes barbarian(?) type character. They have big white hair full of black streaks that are more plentiful on their right. They wear a silver mask marred with green patina and full of big, sharp teeth. Their jaw is visible underneath the mask, their pale skin scarred and decorated with streaky black swipes of paint. They have a dark gray, cropped, and torn sleeveless shirt. Crude rope netting starts at their biceps on both arms. They have a thick black strap over their chest that carries a weapon with spikes on its base.
It's already October in my opinion so I'm jumping straight into spookier themed adopts 😤 #3 is meant to have a patina look hehe

Two bust designs, a humanoid and a sabertooth tiger. On the left is a feminine figure with a loose, comfortable and warm sort of vibe. They have a soft face, somewhat pointed chin, a nose that is fuller on the end and nostrils as opposed to the bridge, small pouty lips with tiny sharp canines sticking out, and catlike amber eyes. They have pointed ears with two helix rings on each, and small quartz gauges. They wear a green and white-dotted scarf wrapped around the forehead, their wavy blonde hair poking out in little bangs. Their hair is short and unkempt in a carefree sort of way. They wear a simple necklace with a bronze diamond-shaped pendant etched with a pattern or potentially a rune (open to interpretation). They wear a soft beige dress that hits their collarbone and is patterned with parallel lines blocking out the front, scalloped embroidery, and sketchy vine-like patterns. Just below their bust is a burnt orange scarf that ties around their body. They are also wearing a plain green cardigan— something cozy and casual to either "mute" the dress' busier design, or to suggest that this character just likes to be cozy. Beside them is a sabertooth tiger with a similar fur shade to their hair. It has simple spot patterns, light fluffy cheeks and chest, amber eyes and a muzzle that slopes in a similar shape as the character's nose— thinner at the bridge, wider at the base!
This one's maybe a lil silly LOL, literally just wanted to draw a sabertooth tiger (not a very paleo accurate one) and thought "what if also, cute girl"

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
From left to right: A feminine figure with dusty purple/black locs that reach about shoulder-length, pulled back behind the head on the character's right side and drape partially over their face on the other side. On their right they have a visible gold earring and on their left a golden wrap is on one of their locs. They have an ornate golden necklace with white jewels and matching armbands. Their shirt is sleeveless and high-necked with a dark lace pattern. They have a purple robe, coat, or wrap hanging off their shoulders, ornamented with gold embroiderey. They have honey brown eyes, freckles, and warm-toned dark brown skin. Their facial features are soft, with heavier "lower cheeks", a broad nose and full lips, with pointed elven ears. Next design is a sky-blue tiefling with tall, curving horns reminiscent of a goat's. One has braid-esque silver jewelry wrapped around it. They have piercings on both eyebrows and several on both ears, with dangling pendants on the lobes. Their hair is white short and swooshy. They have thick eyebrows, a long nose and an angled facial structure with dark blue eyes. Their build is somewhat broad and muscular, with wide shoulders and thick arms. Their shirt is dark blue and patterned with vines and flowers, with white sleeves. Silver braided thread is draped over both their shoulders as an accent. The third design is that of a human(?) with a very bright and warm color palette. Their face is soft and round, with droopy green eyes and full lashes. Their full lips form a little pouty smile. Their skin is lightly tanned with an almost golden complexion. Their eyebrows are thick and rounded on the edges and their nose is a bit bulbous at the end. They have golden jewelry and an overall space theme, which features in the embroidery on their sheer pink overshirt. Underneath that overshirt is a leather harness. They have freckles and short, fluffy and curly bleach-blonde hair.
More adopts!! Trying to get back to more regular batches of three haha

An illustration of a knight facing to the right. They are clad in silver armour, and carry a shield with trans pride colours, which shows a unicorn and the slogan 'Resist, rejoice, remember'. Additionally there is a trans pride coloured decoration on their helmet. The image is framed with a border of dandelion and hanging pride flags.
Resist. Rejoice. Remember.
I dedicate this year's pride knight to my community. My trans family, friends and loved ones are beautiful, resilient and amazing and we will continue to thrive like the weeds society treats us as.
Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost.

All of my characters are queer but I’ll just stick to shouting out my girls Kas and Claudia from A BALLAD FOR SLAYERS & MONSTERS.
Kas is a butch, lesbian monster slayer with a sword and muscles.
Claudia is a bisexual, half-vampire hottie.
#LateNightWrite
I'm Tyler, and aside from fanfic/fanzine work, I'm working on a gothic horror short story!
My ideal space is a cold room with a bunch of blankets, and hopefully a hot drink.
I got a cool little short and scary story in Transcendence: an Anthology of Change. It's got space and alien planets and grief and trauma! And several of your favourite authors!
Check it out here: a.co/d/44krPdk
#LateNightWrite
Hey #LateNightWrite I’m Juniper. My main WIP right now is The Modern Mythos Continuum. There’s time travel & fantasy Las Vegas & a memory-stealing mystery & a lot more shenanigans & angst, courtesy of the trash crew of the first book.
I’m a queer focused author & artist. It’s the reality of my life & therefore my art, so it simply just makes sense. I wouldn’t know how to not do it. Also, I’m committed to creating characters & stories that reflect who & what people really are. Which is varied beyond measure innit. #LateNightWrite
It’s like all of them 😅 notably my main casts are always queer, beyond that it’s just a facet of realistic set dressing as well as side character creation. #LateNightWrite
Depends. My epic fantasy series is placed in a queernorm world. The Modern Mythos is more akin to our own, where people have varying opinions & outlooks on queer people. Still, from the MC’s perspective it’s the norm & bigots are outliers who make a delicious lunch 😌 #LateNightWrite
#LateNightWrite
General Question: Have you ever explored LGBTQ+ characters and themes in your writing?
As a queer author, that's all I do.
#LateNightWrite
My worlds are generally queernormative; the queer MC's in-laws take issue with his socioeconomic class, not his being queer. (It's not specified if he only likes guys or not.) Depending on which god people follow, a "normal" relationship could be monogamous, poly, and married or not.
#LateNightWrite
In Seff's story, Drohim is an elite warrior for a powerful church and is married to a guy. Rhugada is a non-binary wilderness guide and survivalist.
In Prophecy #71, Zedenko the cursed treasure hunter is pansexual. The two FMCs both imply they like guys, but no one swears off women.
#LateNightWrite
Oh, at some point when I started to write A Saga of Mages, I realized I was bi and decided to implement that in Elliot's story as well. He's discovering this part of himself that is very much in conflict and he doesn't fully understand, kinda reflecting the major storyline as well.
#LateNightWrite
Never really thought about it until now, but the world is very much almost the same as ours. I still have to learn lots of queer dynamics, but at a very first glance, most mages have no prejudice over gender identity and orientation, they have bigger fish to fry honestly.
#LateNightWrite
Basically almost the entirety of the main characters lmao. Elliot's bi and cis, Abby is trans and pan, Lydia is a cis lesbian. Elliot's love interest (and rival >:]) is gay. Among many others lmao. Once I established Elliot as bi, everything else came along lmao.
An excellent #LateNightWrite. Perfect timing. I just began work on a new #graphicnovel Based on the Sherlock Holmes story The Sign of the Four.
#LateNightWrite
Enya: Bisexual
Enora: Lesbian
Eloise: Lesbian
Susanna: Lesbian
Thomas: Achillian

Just to name a few off the top of my head
Thanks for joining the chat. Let us know where to find your projects.
Alright, thanks for y'all's really cool responses tonight! Feel free to use this space to promote your WIPs, projects, and other undertakings! Or share memes and pet pics!
See you next week!
#LateNightWrite
All of the main crews in my works are queer!
From LEX TALIONIS:
Darcy - Gay and trans
Promise - Bisexual
Tiga - Gay
Jette - Lesbian
Keanu - Aroace
Delphine - Biromantic ace
Argyle - Genderqueer pansexual
#LateNightWrite
LEX TALIONIS is set in a mostly queernormative world! There are places that are better than others. Same sex couples are generally normal, but trans people tend to face neglect in the city ruled by the evil king. #LateNightWrite
I will always have LGBTQ+ characters in my writing! It's a core part of everything that I do and who I am, and I want more stories with LGBTQ+ heroes out there for people like me. #LateNightWrite
Hello! I'm an author and artist who loves drawing my book characters, and playing D&D!
My current WIP is LEX TALIONIS; an LGBTQ+ fantasy novel with demons, body horror, and clockpunk magic.
If you see this, post some fungi #art
