Rowan K. Blake

The aforementioned wife. Li Zanghong is a trans lesbian character from my webnovel 1000 Lotuses. She has long, dark reddish brown hair with a loopy bun over each ear, secured with red ribbon. She is wearing clothes based on Tang Dynasty women's fashion: a peach/coral jacket with a long green skirt. She is sitting on a giant pink lotus that she manifested with her bodhisattva powers. The design is by me and the art is by my friend paintbrushDjinn.

🪷 A tiger wants to eat gods. How far will the bodhisattva go to shield her from the consequences?
🪷 1000 Lotuses is a webnovel for baihe readers, kinky Buddhists, and historical c-drama fans who wish every show was full of weird lesbians.

ppl who still commission their favourite artists even in this era where everyone is broke and genAI is being pushed on us at every opportunity—you are appreciated more than words can express!!!

Colored illustration of Nakshatra, a blind girl who wears gothic style clothing. She has dark skin and cataracts, and black hair and nails. She is holding her walking aid close.

Colored illustration of Elijah, a young black man wearing glasses and an upside down cross earring. He is wearing a black shirt with a crust punk vest over it with many pro-environment patches and a few hairdressing ones. He has bird tattoos on both of his forearms.

Black urban romance deserves to be taken seriously In 2025, Sweet Nothings Book Co. opened as Baltimore’s first romance-only bookstore. It’s truly a romance book lover’s dream — it’s cozy and welcoming, clearly created with readers in mind. The shelve...

Important article. Nothing burns me up more in the literary space than the same folks who praise dark and mafia romance with their whole chests denigrating urban romance. Tell us why you find one genre acceptable but not the other. I’ll wait.

This. If you want to write, you gotta read. But more importantly, you should *want* to read.

This is a good thread & I hope people reflect on how it relates to what happened in 2020-2022, and the ongoing pandemic—how most people, at the Democrats’ urging, decided to throw anyone who might need airborne virus mitigations in the trash🚮. And in doing so helped our slide into more brutality:

ships that are canon 😴
ships where the characters have never met 🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️

A lesson I learned in the bookish world as well.

Repeat after me gang: don’t chase another franchise model, do your own work. Capitalism wants you to think the correct path is to copy the most successful thing, but the actual best thing is to make your own thing along the path the trailblazers left. These are not the same thing.

Need to tone down on imagery. It's a book not a poem Rowan, gods!
