#mswl Gilmore Girls town vibes with protagonists that are witches.
Think cozy setting, loving families, definitely a comfort read.

And witchy romcoms! Think THE EX HEX or PAYBACK’s A WITCH.

I would love a picture book or novel involving the Public Universal Friend! #MSWL

Hey so, good opportunity to make it EXPLICITLY CLEAR that romances depicting non-wealthy (or even middle class) experiences are very important to me!!!

This is true in all genres, but romance gets a special call-out bc um, poor folks deserve swoony love stories too? Obv??

Look y’all know I’m hungry for more deep sea horror, so sorry to these men, but uh #MSWL

While using this gif may be wishful thinking, more polyam characters please #mswl

Botanypunk and/or space botany. Plants are weird little guys and so should be the people using them to keep us alive in space #mswl #justafungi

on that subject, if the chain of command, a warrior's code or fealty is the reasons for repressing said feelings, I am even more there for it... #mswl

good or morally complex leaders making tough decisions in crises they did not make #mswl

Sex positive depictions of sex workers and/or the kind of soft power that women have often relied on in male dominated spaces #mswl

Soldier pairings. From the Sacred Band of Thebes to necromancer/cavalier partnerships. GIVE ME AN ARMY OF LOVERS said Phaedrus.

UNHEALTHY DYNAMICS. Seriously. Whatever romance Killing Eve, Hannibal and Interview with the Vampire had going on. #mswl

The fae being genuinely, terrifyingly fae. Bonus points for anything that would be soundtracked by Hozier or Florence #mswl

neurodivergent experiences – hard relate to Data and Murderbot but also more neurodivergent humans please? #mswl #ownvoices

“It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.”

okay sure but for fiction I’ll take both, please.🌱

(They might be in love now. No take backs.)

not a week goes by that I don’t think about this painting. the human feet. the shawl. the smoke rising from the chimney. the crevice in the tree. the way the grass looks like waves I can almost hear it. whatever this kind of horror is, I want it #MSWL

thinking of how stephen graham jones wrote about the beauty and motion in basketball (with heightened stakes around a game of pick up) and how much i wanted to keep reading those moments of the only good indians....hELLO!!!!!! #MSWL
