After the command performance, the Better Angels were invited to dine with the King.
"And for #dessert," the head waiter announced. "Turkish Delight!"
Zaza beckoned & whispered in the King's ear. He smiled.
"No!" he commanded. "We shall have lollipops. And bubblegum!"

#Awake in the pre-dawn hours, Revin wiggled his fingers to try to aid blood circulation. But then he realized Momo had rolled up against him and was keeping his hands warm. She stirred when he moved, then relaxed back into sleep. In spite of everything, Revin smiled.

Sunset at @TreeHouseBrewCo

Revin looked everywhere, but there were no etheric streams. The Queen of Belleriand drifted among jagged mountains at the mercy of the wind with no attachments. Revin panicked as #disaster loomed.
Then he awoke in a sweat, panting, arms & legs bound. Still in captivity.

When David returned, the Better Angels were running around in circles hissing at one another.
"What's up?" David asked.
"That man said we were #seraphim," Zaza explained.
"I think he just meant 'angels,' not serpents."
"Yesss! But we want to be sssnakesss!" Zaza hissed.

My sister's door was ajar when I stumbled out of my bedroom at two in the morning. I went into the bathroom, relieved myself, washed my hands, & headed back to bed. I glanced at her door & noticed an #eye peering at me through the crack. An inhuman eye. Then it blinked.

For reasons, I was looking at the etymology for baka (馬鹿) and found this: "Unbo Irohashū (運歩色葉集) dictionary, which glosses baka 馬鹿 as meaning "point at a deer and say horse" (指鹿曰馬)."

OK, sure. But what if you point at a deer and say, "gentle forest pony"? Hmmmmm?

Have you ever calculated what proportion of your income goes to having a car? How much richer could you be if we had organized things so you didn't need to own a car to survive?

Hearing @Writer_MDNeu say people tell him his books aren't (and I'm paraphrasing here) "gay enough" really resonated with me. Someone told me recently that, sure Revin's Heart has queer characters, but it's not really a queer book. And I'm like, "Why exactly?" They just shrugged.
