I periodically get Amazon giftcards from my work, and am keeping a list of wishlists I can spend them on: classroom supplies, mutual aid, shelter or foodbank supplies, etc.

Phoebe’s acting career has stalled since the completion of her hit tween series and her public breakup with her co-star. When she’s offered the lead role on a high-budget superhero miniseries, she sees a chance to revive her career. Even if the showrunner is pushy, sexist, and determined to straight-wash her canonically asexual character. One thing she’s not going to do? Fall for her new co-star. Nolan may be an on-screen darling, but can barely carry a conversation off-script. Until he meets Phoebe, who couldn’t care less about his stardom or awkwardness. For the first time, Nolan feels like he can be himself, only to realize he doesn’t even know who he is behind the superstar persona. He’s spent his whole life trying to please others, particularly his controlling mother, at the expense of figuring out his own life. As Phoebe and Nolan’s off-screen chemistry becomes as undeniable as their on-screen chemistry, their delicately balanced lives collide, and they’ll need to learn to write their own happily ever afters.

An #EditorGuide for PHOEBE AND NOLAN MAKE A SCENE

A starlet trying to save her floundering acting career and a socially awkward teen heartthrob, cast as love interests, must fight the straightwashing of a canonically ace character, and their feelings for eachother.

👀from a Wisconsinite

a review on Chirp of The Reanimator's Heart that says 1 out of 5 stars. I was not expecting so much gay sex in a fantasy detective story

I think I should use this as one of those enticing 1 star reviews 😂
If you want gay sex in a fantasy detective story, hit up THE REANIMATOR'S HEART, especially if you like autistic necromancers accidentally reanimating their detective crush, so they can solve his murder.

Autistic people to neurotypical people:

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

moodboard: candles glowing in glass jars, the words "every demon has three names", light streaming in through church windows and arches, dozens of open books, a human skull, dead leaves, rope, thorny branches, a person behind a sheer curtain backlit by the sun
