fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

ARTHURIAN LORE X SAILOR MOON

#SheisKing as Quotes:

👑 She took hold of Excalibur, and then all was white.
😘 "That's not true! I also have a crush on Karl Urban."
🌳 "Merlin's his actual name."
⚔️ "If you're alive, then the fight isn't over."
🌩️ "You miss him. Your stormbringer."

Being the reincarnation of King Arthur is one thing. Dealing with the creepy-ass reincarnation Mordred is another. Add the fact all other myths are true and seem to be colliding in your college town...can you really blame Morgan McArthur for getting a little overwhelmed?

When Odin falls under Mordred's persuasive control, Morgan -- the reincarnation of King Arthur -- thinks she's doomed. But she didn't expect Thor, the god of thunder, to defy his father and stand by her side.

This is Boksil. She is reaching levels of cozy previously unheard of. 12/10 a trailblazer (IG: with_bokdanji)

a small cream colored dog stares up at us. this is Boksil, swaddled in a grey robe, and tucked underneath a thick blanket on a bed. her little paws poke out of the robe's sleeves, and her toe beans are in full view. her tiny pink tongue mlems from her grinning mouth.

a higher angle of Boksil. a small yellow pillow rests beside her for scale, and her eyes are closed peacefully as she rests swaddled under a white blanket, looking very cozy.

SCI-FI BEAUTY & THE BEAST

Roan, part of the last team of archaeologists sent to a dying Earth, stumbles into an ancient bunker haunted by the AI mind of a trillionaire. She’s the only one who can fix his tech, but can she save him before Earth is swallowed by the Sun?

🏺🥀🤖☀️⚙️

A collage of photos with text in the middle saying “Archaeologists will date any old thing.” The other pictures include a circuit board, archaeology tools, a record player, a museum interior, an astronaut looking at San Francisco buried in sand, a man holding a dark rose, a person reaching out to a ghostly figure, and an espresso machine.

CRUEL PRINCE X HADESTOWN

When a wedding meant to bind two houses is thrown into chaos, one Prince must find the bride and bring her to safety.

But Faerie is cruel and the journey is long.

It doesn’t help that cruelty comes from within and the bride is not so helpless either. #DVParty
