SOME BOOK RECS FOR PRIDE THAT I HAVEN’T DONE REVIEWS FOR!

Taproot by Keezy Young

Blue is having a hard time moving on. He's in love with his best friend. He's also dead. Luckily, Hamal can see ghosts, leaving Blue free to haunt him to his heart's content. But something eerie is happening in town, leaving the local afterlife unsettled, and when Blue realizes Hamal's strange ability may be putting him in danger, Blue has to find a way to protect him, even if it means... leaving him.

The Deep & Dark Blue by Niki Smith

After a terrible political coup usurps their noble house, Hawke and Grayson flee to stay alive and assume new identities, Hanna and Grayce. Desperation and chance lead them to the Communion of Blue, an order of magical women who spin the threads of reality to their will. As the twins learn more about the Communion, and themselves, they begin to hatch a plan to avenge their family and retake their royal home. While Hawke wants to return to his old life, Grayce struggles to keep the threads of her new life from unraveling, and realizes she wants to stay in the one place that will allow her to finally live as a girl.  

Life of Melody by Mari Costa

A human child abandoned in the woods is discovered by an unlikely pair: Razzmatazz, a fairy godfather, and Bon, a beast man. After quarreling over the best way to handle the child, they finally agree to co-parent in the human world--for now, at least. What the two men don''t expect is this little arrangement will push them to discover more about themselves...and more about each other, which might result in love. In this charming LGBT+ romcom, one "temporary" magical family might just become real!

Our Dining Table by Mita Ori

Eating around other people is a struggle for salaryman Yutaka, despite his talent for cooking. All that changes when he meets Minoru and Tane—two brothers, many years apart in age—who ask him to teach them how to make his delicious food! It’s not long before Yutaka finds himself falling hard for the meals they share together—and falling in love!

I Think Our Son is Gay by Okura

Despite belonging to a family of four, the Aoyama residence is typically home to three due to father Akiyoshi'’s job. While he''s away at work, mom Tomoko and her two beloved sons Hiroki and Yuri go about their everyday lives--going to school, making dinner, doing homework, etc. But now that Hiroki''s in his first year of high school, his thoughts are turning ever so slightly to sex and romance...and his mom can''t help but notice his slips of the tongue when he''s talking about who he likes. Supportive Tomoko has an inkling Hiroki might be gay, but she''s going to let him figure it out for himself. Unfortunately, Hiroki has little talent for keeping his "secret," so he might die of embarassment before all is said and done!

Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe

In 2014, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Now, Gender Queer is here. Maia’s intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity—what it means and how to think about it—for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere.

Snapdragon by Kat Leyh

Snap's town had a witch. At least, that’s how the rumor goes. But in reality, Jacks is just a crocks-wearing, internet-savvy old lady who sells roadkill skeletons online—after doing a little ritual to put their spirits to rest. It’s creepy, sure, but Snap thinks it’s kind of cool, too. They make a deal: Jacks will teach Snap how to take care of the baby opossums that Snap rescued, and Snap will help Jacks with her work. But as Snap starts to get to know Jacks, she realizes that Jacks may in fact have real magic—and a connection with Snap’s family’s past.

The Witch Boy by Molly Ostertag

In thirteen-year-old Aster's family, all the girls are raised to be witches, while boys grow up to be shapeshifters. Anyone who dares cross those lines is exiled. Unfortunately for Aster, he still hasn't shifted . . . and he''s still fascinated by witchery, no matter how forbidden it might be.When a mysterious danger threatens the other boys, Aster knows he can help -- as a witch. It will take the encouragement of a new friend, the non-magical and non-conforming Charlie, to convince Aster to try practicing his skills. And it will require even more courage to save his family . . . and be truly himself.

DeadEndia by Hamish Steele

Barney and his best friend Norma are just trying to get by and keep their jobs, but working at the Dead End theme park also means battling demonic forces, time traveling wizards, and scariest of all--their love lives! Follow the lives of this diverse group of employees of a haunted house, which may or may not also serve as a portal to hell, in this hilarious and moving graphic novel, complete with talking pugs, vengeful ghosts and LBGTQIA love!

Cheer Up! Love and Pom Poms by Crytal Fraiser & Val Wise

Annie is a smart, antisocial lesbian starting her senior year of high school who’s under pressure to join the cheerleader squad to make friends and round out her college applications. Her former friend BeeBee is a people-pleaser—a trans girl who must keep her parents happy with her grades

Presenting Coral Cacophony! They're a band popular in the Splatlands, in order there's:

Niki, a passionate octoling just as much for her rocking on stage with guitar as she is for rainmaker matches. Next is lead vocalist and bassist, Aubrey; she's another octoling who is very affectionate with Niki on and off stage. She's a coder in her off time. The drummer is Edith, along with her partner clownfish Dani. Dani helps quite a lot of songwriting and general advice. Last is Ori, a hammerhead shark who is the timpanist and backing vocalist. He's the largest and tallest of the group, but he's actually quite kind. Rumor has it he gives the best hugs!

Yeeeeeee Splatoon fan band! I've been working on this on and off since pretty much Splat 3 came out. These four are actually based on friends of mine and myself. Niki is based on me, Aubrey is based on my amazing gf @fembykitten, Edith and Dani are based on two friends of mine @beneath-scottish-skies who share that account, and lastly Ori is based on @ori-odinson.

As for what their music sounds like, I imagine the vocals similar to Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Metric, and the instrumentals a bit like Yeah Yeah Yeahs but more percussion and less electronic.

[nihachu-updates]

Niki is in Ori's tweet!

BASICS.

APPEARANCE

FACECLAIM:   ewan mitchell. HEIGHT:   five feet, eleven inches. HAIR:   dark blonde. EYES:   blue in color. due to an accident when he was seventeen, nikolai lost his left eye. he does have a glass eye but is rarely seen not wearing an eye patch.

FAMILY

FATHER:   lord andar royce ( deceased ). MOTHER:   lady aelyana royce ( deceased ). SIBLINGS:   ruling lord orys royce ( older brother ), lady melony royce ( older sister ), liege petra royce ( younger sibling ).

PET: luna, a medium-sized dog who nikolai has trained since she was a pup. she is constantly at his side, helping him feel calmer and easing his anxiety when in stressful situations.

HISTORY

tw: abuse, parent death

nikolai wasn't the easiest child; he cried very often, especially when left alone, and thus, lady royce hovered over her youngest son, constantly carrying him around runestone and sending away the septas. she'd also spend hours reading to him, which was the most certain way to keep him in good spirits or calm him down after a particularly bad crying spell. nikolai's close relationship with his mother only continued as he grew. wherever lady royce went, he followed. many said that lady royce coddled the boy, allowing him to skip lessons with the master-at-arms in order to spend more time hiding away in the library or wandering the small garden at runestone. however, his mother would hear none of it. it was from her that nik acquired his inquisitive nature and love for learning. he even dreamed of one day leaving runestone to study at the citadel and become a maester or a healer; his mother encouraged these dreams and told him that one day he would achieve them. those early years of his life were ones that nikolai would forever look back on fondly, viewing them as his true childhood, one that was cut painfully short.

everything changed when his mother passed. his father changed seemingly overnight from a kind man into a cruel one, and while none of the royce children were spared from their father's cruelty, nikolai undeniably bore the brunt of it. especially since, unlike his elder siblings, he didn't fight back against the abuse. there wasn't one aspect about his youngest son that lord royce didn't take an issue with. nikolai was too soft. too quiet. too sensitive. to weak. lord royce viewed it as his responsibility to eliminate those faults. from then on, there was rarely a day where nik didn't receive harsh, disapproving words from his father. his father also made it clear that no son of his would pursue a scholarly path. his sons were to be warriors. any ounce of failure was harped on, and lord royce had no qualms reminding him how great of a disappointment he was, especially when, despite insisting nikolai train for hours everyday, he failed to improve when it came to wielding any weapon.

the change in nikolai was undeniable. the once shy but happy young man retreated into himself. he would walk around runestone with his head low, hoping to avoid attention, and would hide away in the library for as long as he could before he was discovered and made to attend whatever lessons his father deemed necessary, which almost always ended in him being reprimanded, no matter how hard nikolai tried to be the son his father wanted.

nikolai was seventeen when an accident finally occurred. with both of his older siblings away from runestone, there was no one to object when lord royce insisted that he would spar with nik rather than the master-at-arms or one of the knights. the fight lasted far longer than any of his previous sparing matches, but his father wouldn't let him rest until he stopped making mistakes. fatigue, however, only made him falter more, creating a deadly cycle, especially as his father's anger worsened, which, as was typical, he took out on him. nikolai barely saw the fateful blow before it landed. then there was only pain. initially, he thought it was the blood that was blocking his vision; later he would learn that he'd lost his eye.

his father never apologized or showed any remorse. nikolai himself struggled not finding fault with himself - his father had constantly said that weakness, especially someone like nik who possessed so much, made one vulnerable. did this prove him right? the months after the incident were very difficult; nik rarely left his room, ashamed of the scar even when it was covered. however, he gradually recovered with time. his father's abuse didn't cease, but he never tried to spar with nik again, and all the knights at runestone went extremely easy on him the few times lord royce insisted his son train.

there was a brief period where happiness appeared within reach. a visit to the citadel brought about an expected meeting with a lady, one that soon made feelings blossom into love. the two years they spent together were the happiest years of his life, and he was overjoyed when she accepted his proposal. however, the minute his father learned of the betrothal, that his son had acted without his permission and partially due to how happy he realized nik was, he forbid the union. but the redwynes were a powerful family. so his father told him that he was to end it, shouldering all the blame himself, and convinced him in the process that he would only be a failure as a ruling consort. his fear of his father, along with his own self-doubt, ran too deep; nikolai did as he was told, telling lady cerenna that he'd changed his mind and no longer wanted to marry her. three years had passed since that day and his shame for his cowardice hadn't lessened. he also never spoke a word of the truth to anyone, letting everyone believe it was his decision alone.

nikolai felt like he could finally breathe again when his father passed. in the two years since his father's death, he fully resumes his studies of the art of healing, previously only done in secret due to his father's disapproval, and begins helping the maester at runestone tend to patients. all he desires is a quiet life for he possesses no grand ambitions or interest in the politics of the realm; however, the trauma his father inflicted upon him didn't perish alongside the royce patriarch. somedays nikolai fears he will never fully heal, proving his father right that he is indeed not only weak but a failure.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

FRIENDS  —  nikolai is in desperate need of friends. he didn't travel a lot beyond the vale but could have visited other houses in the riverlands, the north, and even the reach when he visited the citadel and was with cerenna. would especially love a fellow nerdy friend that nik feels comfortable talking about his studies with! 

FAKE FRIENDS / MANIPULATOR  —  people who pretend to be nice to nikolai but secretly view him as a pawn that due to his quiet nature will be easy to use and manipulate.

FIRST CRUSH  —  he was probably too shy to say anything to them about it and could be unrequited or not.

POTENTIAL BETROTHAL  —  while his older brother is committed to letting his siblings choose their marriages, i think it would be interesting for a stronger house to be interested in a betrothal that nik would feel obligated to take for the sake of strengthening his family. whether the betrothal/marriage happens is something that can be plotted.

ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ELSE ! my brain is failing me but come at me with any possible connections.
