Rakos: Dox the Horrors. Or pound them into the dirt.
Amethyst: Avoid the Horrors.
Charra: Punch the Horrors in the dick and run.
Ruby: Horrors? You're really just big ol' softies aren't you?
Emera: Learn everything she can about the Horrors and join a network dedicated to bringing them down.
There are two big factors here:
1) There's a huge social stigma against humans being attracted to or romantic with goblins. Publicly canoodling could make people mad.
2) The goblin tribal culture Amethyst comes from has no taboo against public contact, so she grew up with a lot of normalized PDA.
Glazign sounds like a really chill place!
They had cocaine doing their thinking back in the 80s. I just wonder what filled that 30 year gap.
And he's affordable, too! A diamond on the rough side of Reddit! 😁
With no nouns in play, I'm forced to assume it's the reader doing all of these verbs. 😁
Yeah, the cover artist and I are like transatlantic besties because he did such a good job capturing all of them!

Therapy fails. Stepfamily implodes. Sexily.
Yes. Yes I do.
Somethings feel more natural in past, some in present, but they're both just tools in the belt.
Rakos: Background. Amethyst: Center back. Charra: Left Ruby: Front and center, naturally. Emera: Right.
Fair enough. All of those motherfuckers wind up selling the same thing, though: Nothing can *ever* really be their fault.
Classic abuser language, really. Borderline "I'll give you something to cry about."
Relatable!
He leaned in a little. “Buys Karen and your buddy Rakos time to shore up our defenses, yeah."
Oooo, good line! Very ominous!
He's the *wooooooorst!*
Antag 1: Video games. Spends a lot of time on seedy subreddies.
Antag 2: Watches anime, works out, watches fights, one night stands.
Antag 3: Golf, reading, video games, ranked competitive racism.
That may be the most threatening-looking benevolent fire god I've ever seen! The one eye; the lava whip; the world is lucky Flamboil is so fundamentally decent because they'd put every other villain out of business with vibes alone!
He's such a miserable prick, like a mopey teen! 😆
The Rotting Wind is a God Beneath no one loves (and I love him for it!)
The neglected middle child, The Plague Lord is the downcast deity of disease, decay, and despair.
Very few people worship The Sorvereign of Rot, but many propitiate him: Every hospital has a shrine nearby, to hold him at bay.
Yeah, the whole concept of a "Professional Brand" or "Author Brand" feels like something marketing wonks came up with to break the spirits of introverts.
Rakos: Yes, better on ice than wheels for some reason.
Amethyst: Yes, but she wouldn't want to try at first.
Charra: Absolutely, strap her in.
Ruby: Yes, but she'd want to practice someplace private before doing it where anyone could see.
Emera: Absolutely not; she could die on those things!
Rakos: Absolutely savages himself.
Amethyst: Shudders, compartmentalizes, moves on.
Charra: Swears, shrugs, tries again.
Ruby: Smiles and giggles while snarling internally.
Emera: Absolutely savages herself.
Honestly, it's just not knowing where to spend my time. I get the most followers on Threads, but way more interest in the actual book on Reddit.
And they're all kind of fun, except Instagram and TikTok, because pictures and video are -- shockingly -- not a wordsmith's areas of expertise.
Ooo, love a good ominous POP!
Oh yes. Butcher's Bloom nearly went extinct during the Realm Wars as the Fae who carried it were wiped out and enslaved in many places by the native humans.
Only once humans realized the potions could save their lives, too, was much effort put into developing the "Fae soil" conversion process.
My out-and-proud lesbian eldest: "Dad! Great news! My scoliosis improved! I don't have to see that doctor anymore!"
Me: "That's fantastic! Do you realize what this means?"
Eldest: "What?"
Me, grinning my dadliest: "Your spine is straighter than you are!"

I hated it until the social media kicked in.
Guess I'm pretty okay with it now!
If people *can* make alcohol from it, they will! 😆
