What does it mean to be magical?
Who decides who is magical?
What does it take to be magical?
Am I magical?

Are we?

I’m going to have all sorts of merchandise for my magical girl series at A-Kon this weekend :) Prints. Buttons. Preview books. It’s gonna be a weekend of queer, black girl magic!

Many thanks to my good friends MuseTap Studios for the print art and cover art for the booklets, and my friend pinkstarpirate for helping me do buttons <3 <3 <3 

Because the magical girls need casual looks :)

Top pic is Marianna Jacobs, aka “Galactic Purple.” Her looks include:

1. Her look when she’s baking delicious treats <3 
2. Her normal, everyday style
3. Pajama fun time!

Bottom pic is Bree Danvers, aka “Cosmic Green.” Her looks include:

1. Her look when she’s doing Let’s Plays for her YouTube channel, “Cosmickaze Bree.” She would do it completely transformed, but Marianna yells at her when she does. Also notice her love for Game Grumps <3 <3 <3
2. Her normal, everyday style, which still has a geeky touch.
3. Pajama fun time! She would be naked, but Marianna yells about things like “decency” and “other people living here, too.” However, if Marianna comes into her room unannounced when she’s naked then that’s Marianna’s fault ;)

Check out more info and updates on the girls on the magnifiqueNOIR Facebook page :)

So one of the things I plan on doing for my new book series is having little comic pages in the book :) They’ll be little illustrated snippets from select scenes in the book. 

Enjoy! And don’t forget, you can follow the progress here <3 <3 <3 

“Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re not magical.”

Marianna Jacobs is an 18-year-old college student with dreams of being a baker. She often does things by the book and could be considered as the leader of the group. She’s kindhearted and always wants to do what’s best for everyone. As a plus sized girl, she sometimes has moments of being insecure about her weight, but as she progresses as a magical girl, she’s becoming more confident in herself.

So this is random but it’s part of my NaNo story so it’s in my head.

When I was coming out (I was 18 at the time so 2001) I actually, legitimately, thought that being gay was a white thing because I couldn’t think of any black queer people in my life who I could look at. To my knowledge there was no one in my family, the one girl I knew of on my block was labelled “confused” because she was bisexual, and I couldn’t think of any positive representation in the media at the time.

Representation is so important.
