I am not trans but what I have learned, a person can be both trans and nb. This is because some define the term trans as being "something else than what they were defined as at birth". So as person that was defined as a boy or a girl at birth and who now identifies as non binary or something similar can call themselves trans because they now identify as their true self

idk if this is in reference to anything ive ever said on this blog bc its been years and i cant remember but i totally agree!!!

You completely spoiled me. Where else I'm gonna find another epic, beautiful and bittersweet F/F slow burn romance that is as well-done as the one in TPOTOT? And yes I love a F/F retelling of Pride&Prejudice in fantasy. ❤️

I love that so many people have compared it to Pride and Prejudice. It wasn’t actually a deliberate retelling, but I really like the interpretation!

And for more excellent F/F, may I recommend:

The Afterward by E. K. Johnston

The Circle by Sara B. Elfgren and Mats Strandberg (the wlw romance doesn’t fully kick off until the third book, but it’s one of the best I’ve ever read) 

The Deathless Girls by Kiran Millwood Hargrave 

Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan

In the Vanishers’ Palace by Aliette de Bodard 

The Seafarer’s Kiss by Julia Ember

She Rises by Kate Worsley 

The True Queen by Zen Cho

Pastel Pride Flags

A lot of LGBT+ flags are bright, eye strainy, and hurt to work with, and since i work with them all the time I decided to make some softer pastel versions.
