Queer Author Of Queer Books

@alinacapellabooks

Alina Capella, pleasure to be meeting you all! I'm the author of The Tengu And The Angel, and Night Of The Blue Moon! Minors DNI.

New Pinned Post! ^-^

I'm Alina Capella, an indie author of LGBT+ books with happy endings...Most of the time. Sometimes I write contemporary, sometimes I write fantasy, but one thing you can be sure of is that all of my books are very, very queer. I published my debut novel, The Tengu And The Angel an angsty gay romance, in December 2023, and I recently published my second book, Night Of The Blue Moon, a sapphic urban fantasy about magical girls and Greek Mythology. Both books are available in print, and in ebook format on Amazon! Be sure to check them out, and leave a review if you like them! Every review helps! ^-^

The Tengu And The Angel:

Night Of The Blue Moon:

Snippet Sunday!

Today’s snippet Sunday is gonna be pretty short, since I’ve had a slump lately, but here’s one of the songs that Pamela and Zinnia came up with in the most recent chapter. I think I might actually have written some decent lyrics this time, which is huge, because song writing is not my forte at all. This is Pamela and Zinnia’s only song so far that is explicitly about being aromantic, and being devalued by society because of it:

Ten years means nothing to his six months 

And you’re telling me he’s the one 

Yeah, cuz he’s the one, not me

And I’ll never get to be the one

Cuz I can’t love you the way the world wants me to

And I can’t love you the way that he loves you

And the way that I loved you was never enough for you

Never enough 

I’m so done with being second best

Because the world’s obsessed with the way that he loves you

The love I have in my heart is always second best

And I’ll never be ok with that

Missed calls and unanswered messages 

Because the message is that you don’t want me anymore 

Now that you’re his, you don’t need me,

Why did you deceive me and say you were mine?

And I can’t love you the way the world wants me to

And I can’t love you the way that he loves you

And the way that I loved you was never enough for you

Never enough 

I’m so done with being second best

Because the world’s obsessed with the way that he loves you

The love I have in my heart is always second best

And I’ll never be ok with that

We’re adults now, and here’s what that means:

No more best friends forever, cuz there’s no forever 

Unless someone loves you the way that he loves you

Cuz the way that he loves is the best way to love 

And the love in my heart is always second best

You, writer, yes you, you have the capability to write someone’s new favorite story, and don’t let your goblin brain tell you otherwise. Keep going, that person/those people are probably wandering bookstores as we speak with blank expressions because they can’t find your story yet.

THIS PIECE OF PICTURE WORKS. 

Gotta take all the chances…..

Never risk it

Too close to final’s week

I could use it.

Why not, spread the luck

Could use some of that. Why not? :)

I’d love to have some! Share the love

Nothing bad will happen if you don’t share it! So reblog if you’re needing some luck, and scroll on by otherwise — you’re safe.

really need that right now

I need this pretty badly right now

Hope everyone who reblogged has some better luck! ^^

I really need this too after what happend Wednesday and yesterday^^

Nahhhh not a therapist saying this what do you think you get paid for

fandom therapist turns out to be high school mean girl more at 10

doc davis actually isn’t associated with the tiktok user—and they’re really salty about the video

oh g o d, NO jlsfdlksfdjkjsdfkjlsdfjlksdf BRUH

Reblog this version. The response of the real doctor is very important as well as the keymash.

warm baked goods are insane. something so beautiful and almost maddening about absolutely tearing into them when they’re fresh. feeling warm all over after. I really do get vampires for real

people still regularly jumping on this post like “ummmm…” “what was that last part???” “not where i expected this to go AT ALL” what’s not clicking. Something is wrong with YOU. not me.

Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from “wanting humans to have their basic needs met” disorder, where I care about people who aren’t me.

Someone once asked me if, assuming we got universal healthcare, I would be okay with the rise in “healthcare tourism” where people who are sick come to our country to get their medical bills taken care of and life-saving medical treatment cheaper than in their home countries. I was just like, yeah thats fine, I’d actually prefer it if 0 people died from preventable causes kept behind a paywall for no reason.

“even the addicts?” yeah dude did i fucking stutter

it fucking sucks being a disabled person who can't work and having to see these fuckass posts where someone's like "ahaha jobless people have no life and that's why everyone shitty online has No Job" and everyone and their mother reblogs it joyfully onto my dash for me to see. yes unemployed and unemployable people are truly without exception dogshit people with no hobbies and no redeeming qualities. you're so right. anyway if you'll excuse me i have to start my shift at the I'll Never Be Employed Because Of Permanent Disability And I Love Knowing How You Really See Me store

if ur able to work can u reblog this i am seriously SO sick of it.

btw this isn't solely a disability rights issue or an issue about people who are entirely unable to work. you should also be thinking about the people who are regarded as unhireable. transfems are hugely discriminated against in this way, people of color are passed over for less qualified white people, anyone who has any difficulty playing the interview game is less hireable... frankly anyone who made the mistake of pursuing the things they love and now has a degree for a niche field. if you still joke about Jobless People it's because you've fundamentally connected the worth of people to their labor, and specific labor, work that you see as valuable. and while i'm at it stop making fun of people who still live with their parents. asshole.

Snippet Sunday!

We’re back with another snippet from Blood On A Yellow Rose today! Here’s what I’ve been working on for my aromantic vampire novel:

“Are you trying to have sex with me?”

“No!” she shoots back, “Jeez, can’t you take a compliment?”

“Sorry. It’s been a while since anyone’s given me a genuine compliment,” I sigh, “Guys tell me I’m pretty all the time, but they don’t mean it, they’re just telling me what they think I want to hear in the hopes that I’ll have sex with them.”

She raises an eyebrow. “You mean, guys like that nurse who had a crush on you?” she scoffs, “Yeah, I used to get that too. But I actually mean it, you’re really pretty, Pamela.”

“And you’re sure that you don’t wanna have sex with me?”

I want to start doing something a little different on this blog.

I have (as you've probably noticed) slowed down on my posting. It's kind of because I am running out of ideas on what to say, and partly because I am struggling with positive thinking myself. And partly, as I've previously mentioned, it's due to me going through a lot personally right now.

However.

I still want to help and encourage writers SO...

I'm going to open up my ask box to writers that want shoutouts/to have their blogs/writing highlighted. I'm going to start a series of masterlists by genre and I'll pin a masterlist of all of the masterlists.

I want you to tell me about your writing. Of course let me know the genres. Let me know where the writing can be found (aka via your blog, wattpad, fictionpress, ao3, etc) and just anything you'd want your future readers to know.

I'll start a masterpost of the writers that submit their blogs so that readers can find them if they're looking for writers of certain genres... or just plain new writers if they're not picky.

Also, if you'd like, you can shout out some of your favorite writers, see if we can build up other writers as well as ourselves. :)

Let me know if you have any further ideas to build upon this idea.

Actually, I've created a new blog for this idea, because I do rather want to keep this blog about encouraging but I also do want a means to help out writers with gaining more eyes on their works if there's people who would love your writing but just haven't found you yet.

So if you like this idea, the new blog is writerindex. I'll be listing the blogs there instead of here :]

Sorry for the idea whiplash.

I'm doing this idea but I'm moving the idea to this blog :] send me your writing/story info and I'll post it to my index(es) for readers to find you!

If you have a writing blog, maybe share your genre's list so that your readers can find other writers in your genre they'll also possibly enjoy. 🩷
