Hi everyone! I've gone back and forth on this for years now, but now I've finally decided to open some writing commissions! Here's a proper commission info sheet for anyone interested!

I WILL WRITE

I WILL NOT WRITE

If you don't see something on either of these lists, please DM me with your ideas and I can confirm whether or not I will write them! I do not judge and I will not bash anyone for a kink or a ship dynamic they ask me about, even if I don't end up accepting the commission. I am also happy to talk out ideas in DMs.

so illario was in the final battle - part 2

@kerrtrash has been kind enough to take the renaissance patron approach to my work and was the driving force behind a sequel to this piece! behold, nearly 8.5k words about Illario and his long-suffering ex(?) girlfriend who is too compassionate for her own good navigating what they used to be as both individuals and a couple, and trying to figure out what they are now. as with the previous oneshot, tw for some brief mentions of past child abuse and some descriptions of treated but fresh burn wounds.

They held hands on the way home, and it almost felt like it did before.

Treviso was ever so slightly different, of course; Ivenci was no longer glowering across the market, for example, and the Crows who usually prowled the streets had all gone to Minrathous to assist in the battle against Elgar’nan. But the market still bustled as the merchants shouted over one another. Repairs to the art gallery were underway, with scaffolding stacked to the rooftop as sculptors perfected their patches to the marble work damaged by Antaam cannons. But golden lamplight still emanated from the open gallery doors as the proprietress unveiled a new display. The old chantry was still closed as the cleaners attempted to scrub the blood out of the cracked stone floors and steps. But the sisters still sang the Chant outside and collected alms for the poor and displaced.

Illario was burnt, Lidia was bloodied, and they were both battered and bruised after fighting Venatori for hours. But their uninjured fingers still intertwined as they walked through the market square.

we as women need to stop saying "I'm just a girl" and "women in stem" about dangerous instances of ignorance like not knowing you shouldn't drive a screw into the wall directly above an electrical outlet or pouring hot water into a cold glass. it definitely should not be said about crashing your fucking car in a ✨new and unique way.✨ the phrase "women in stem" started as a way to show that women are just as capable of being engineers, technicians, and scientists as men, and to showcase the success of women in fields where the competence and intelligence of women is constantly called into question. the song "Just a Girl" by No Doubt is about being perpetually constricted in society by the stereotypes of women being dumb, fragile, and useless. currently it's being used on posts where women proudly display moments where they didn't think something through properly or a man ended up doing something for them because they were too lazy to figure it out themselves or they did something dangerous and are now absolving themselves of any wrongdoing by acting like they didn't know better. you are not "just a girl," you are an adult woman and not only do you need to take personal responsibility for your actions, but you need to accept the fact that you represent all other women in the eyes of men whether you like it or not. no woman chooses to be the designated poster girl for her gender and yes, men absolutely need to stop judging all women based on experiences they had with just a couple of them, but the reality is that if a woman acts stupid or reckless or she fails at something and then just giggles and says "how could I have known better? I'm literally just a girl! #womeninstem am I right?" she is actively perpetuating the stereotypes that have held all women back for centuries. god forbid women do this kind of thing in front of their children. their sons will grow up with this stereotype ingrained in them and their daughters will grow up with a special kind of learned helplessness and internalized misogyny that they'll have to actively work through in their adulthood.

stop saying you're "just a girl" if you're just an idiot instead. at least that's gender-neutral.

sometimes writing messy heterosexual relationships makes me go "why is she doing All This for her man" and it is then that I remember I am a lesbian and would in fact do All That for my woman so I don't really have a leg to stand on here
