Raya and the Last Dragon is both gay and amazing, I will take no further questions thank you#mswl Raya and the Last Dragon where they actually kiss at the end. And in the middle. Lost more kissing.

Agents, if you have a “problem book” where you and the author are like is this adult or is this YA, everyone seems to think differently, I WANT IT

The first enemies-to-lovers was Epic of Gilgamesh, 1800 BC out of Mesopotamia. The next person who claims a YA white person invented the trope will have dishonor on their family and cow.CORRECT, AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY YA RETELLING, OK? #mswl

#mswl ok so I really love the trope of the Plot to Lose Our Virginity because it's such a real pressure many teens feel + is a great setup for hijinx BUT would love to see a version where the protag discovers they're ace & intentionally remains a virgin ("virgin") & embraces it
Editor
#mswl queer kids and monsters. just, fyi.
Editor
So you know how in every “I saw my future” plot the future’s either horrible or miserable and the protag has to do some soul searching to avoid it? #mswl where the future is GREAT but then one thing in the present happens differently and the character has to scramble to fix it

“Clean Teen” books? 🤔Seems to be code for “straight” imo, or at the very least “isn’t it great how they’re gay but it’s not, like, a big deal!” plus no sex/cursing/drugs/drinking. SO, new #mswl: write me a “clean teen” book with a SUPER QUEER mc that I can rub in their faces.

redemption arcs are good and all but have you ever watched someone slowly become the villainBonus points if you do both at once with each of your two main characters AND the whole thing is heartbreaking #mswl
