over 16s night at the starlight spelloon, try the bucking broom, first hex is free, please no fireballs. Lifeblood limited to 21+ only!

(there are at least 34 wizards/witch characters in the background of this image— can you recognize them all?)

A witch wearing pink and blue looking at the camera and riding a bucking broom. In the background there is a large crowd of witches in wizards, including Gandalf, rincewind, sailor moon, the girls from the craft, wizard from stardew, two magica riot! Gals, thrash from fat witch summer, and a bunch more. Woo hoo.

This piece is taking forever bc I decided to do a spot the magic user detail in the background-- how many do you recognize?

A witch on a bucking broomstick at a saloon being watched by a variety of other magic users from different media

I know I'm late to the party but the thing about having Ophelia as a title for a song and a theme is like... You could tie that more into the ideas of lack of control and fame and being seen but Ophelia doesn't push that theme

Like I'm trying to think about power dynamics and like. Someone who sells twenty books in a month isn't gonna be a powerful force against you I guess

My wife has this rule where she won't publically call out a queer person unless they've done something truly heinous because queer people by default live under deep scrutiny and will have enough people piling on and I kinda feel the same about indie authors/creators

an autism diagnosis is not a death sentence. an autistic person is still very much alive and deserves to be valued as they are
