this tweet is embarrassing for so many reasons
white feminism strikes again, demonizing black women and deeming them unfit to be “feminists” for having sexual agency while simultaneously babying men so they don’t feel complicit in misogyny
what is this trash?
People do realize that feminism isn’t a competition, right? We’re not trying to out feminist each other. The definition of feminism is equality for everyone, trying to outdo one another with who’s the biggest feminist literally goes against what feminism is. We’re about working together, not tearing each other apart.
So stop.

Alix tried not to stare but couldn’t hide the shock on his face. Mira had mentioned to them that the leader of the Red Dragons was female, she had even shown it to them in her book, but it was still hard for him to grasp the concept. The level of respect the Red Dragons showed the woman and the fact that all of the demons watched her carefully proved to Alix that not only was this woman in charge, but she was something to be feared.
Alix had a feeling that, if a fight were to start, she wouldn’t even have needed the two dragons with her.
“I trust you have an explanation for taking my son, Thierry?” The woman asked as she looked over at him.
Thierry nodded. “Of course, Anasia.”
“It wasn’t his fault, honest!” The sudden outburst surprisingly came from Lyree. The young Scough gave the woman a pleading look, ears pressed tightly to his head. “A-Anasia, I-I mean Reina, please!”
Anasia stared at the young Scough in surprise, watching as he bowed down in front of her. After getting over the shock of his outburst she chuckled and patted him on top of his head. “There’s no need for that. I came for an explanation, not a fight.”
Lyree looked up at her hesitantly. “R-really? Saraisai is always saying how ill-tempered Red Dragons are and-”
“Shut up!” Saraisai growled at Lyree, then he turned and swiped his claws at Amari when he started to laugh. “Shut up, all of ya!”
“Please excuse them, Anasia. I promise, they mean no harm,” Thierry said.
“Oh I can tell,” then she smiled at Lyree, scratching behind one of his ears. “This one is kind of cute, actually,” and she smiled more when she saw the blush on the young Scough’s face.
“Anasia. Behave.”
“Oh hush, Thierry.”

We got some art commissioned of two of the characters from our book, “Seeking the Storyteller.” Meet Anasia, the Reina (also known as “queen”) of the Red Dragons, and Lyree, the cute little Scough (a fox demon) who pretty much worships the ground she walks on.
I’m so happy with the art omg the sound I made when I saw it *__*
Art is by KrisRix of atelierMUSE.
You can get signed, physical copies of “Seeking the Storyteller" here <3
Hey, this post may contain sexually explicit content, so we’ve hidden it from public view.
Point blank.
Ok, so story time. I have never experienced a point in time where this was as powerful and as obvious as my freshman opening week back in college. They group everyone off and make you talk, people introduce themselves right and left, everyone talks about hobbies, and to me there was just this really cool vibe of, “Yeah, it’s easy to make friends, everyone is cool, yay!”
This quickly went away when I began to notice a disturbing pattern. I’d spend a while talking to someone only to mention something about my boyfriend (who by the way is now my husband) who also was starting at the same university with me. Usually along the lines of, “Yeah, me and my boyfriend both do this medieval fighting reenactment thing, it’s super fun. We’re hoping to start a club here,” because that’s pretty much all I could talk about at that point in my life. Almost immediately the face of the guy I was talking to would go from smiling and friendly to openly hostile, and he’d be like, “You have a boyfriend?” And after I gave any sort of affirmation, the person would instantly walk away and never speak to me again.
I was on a campus where the guy to girl ratio was 5 to 1, so as you might imagine, this happened to me way too fucking much in the span of a week. I was so fucking upset over it I remember sitting in my dorm alone in the evenings trying not to cry, feeling like an idiot and wondering why I wasn’t good enough for people to want to be friends with. A majority of my friends in high school had been guys, so the fact that these guys were solely interested in getting laid rather than making friendships really hurt (not to mention made me question a lot of the friendships with guys I already had). I had never made friends with girls easily (still don’t), and I was originally pretty pumped with the guy to girl ratio just because I much prefer to hang around men, so realizing that none of them would want anything to do with me unless it was for sexual reasons made me incredibly pessimistic about what my friendships would look like for the next four years.
However, there was ONE GUY the whole week who stuck around and stayed my friend. He ended up being good friends with both me and my boyfriend. We hung out all the time, joined the same clubs, went to parties together, etc. At the end of sophomore year, he actually came to visit our hometown (my boyfriend and I grew up in the same town but had attended different schools) and even stayed at my family’s house in the guest room. I was super pumped, because I saw him as a really good friend to both me AND my boyfriend. We were going to have like five whole days to hang out and show him the town, right? Come to find out, the only reason he’d been friends with me the entire time was because he was waiting for me to break up with my boyfriend so he could date me, and when that hadn’t happened after two years he actually got mad at me while I was letting him stay in my fucking house. He spent the rest of his stay telling me what a horrible person I was, how terrible my boyfriend was for me, and making me feel physically uncomfortable in my own home— literally telling me I owed him something for the two years he “put up with me.” To make a long story short, we haven’t spoken now in five years, and I don’t regret that at all.
Like I get it, the friendzone sucks, no one likes rejection. But holy fuck, I would much rather be rejected sexually than be rejected as an entire human being.
