Sometimes I Think About How Luz And Hunter Are So Protective Of Their Friends And How Luz Can Be Reckless

~sharin some toh fanart i did back then~

A Role to Play: Finished!

Part 3 of RTP is done! This encompasses several months in the domestic life of Vee and Masha and the significant developments in their relationship. It is very spicy.

I do have some notions for future RTP content, but otherwise, I'm calling this done and moving on to chapter 30 of Your Touch, and starting up another side project I'm calling Six Tropes Walk into a Coffeehouse — a humorous human AU, beta Lumity story! A little preview:

Amity is the heiress of the Blight family fortune. Luz is a small town girl—or maybe boy; she's not always sure what she wants to be—who's been putting up with her snooty behavior for the last two years, and if she hears "service with a smile!" from her manager just one more time after a visit from the insufferably catty young woman, she might take a bat to his head. They're as different as could be, from social class to the grades they get in school. They mix like oil and water, if the oil's on fire and the water wants to kick its ass.

So when Amity comes into the coffeehouse to ask a huge favor, Luz is determined that she's going to get her money's worth before she agrees to anything. Amity needs a date for the biggest business dinner of the next ten years. Every major competitor will be there, vying for the attention of investors like the Blights. Mergers will be discussed. Deals will be signed. Futures will be carved out between billionaires and their kids, and the kids won't necessarily have a say in matters.

Amity needs a date. It's the only way to ensure her parents won't try to sell her off at the first opportunity. The problem is that any of the people she calls friends are exactly the kinds of people she'd rather not wind up married off to, and since they're already on her parents' short list of approved company…

It's a perfect opportunity to get this unbearable, self-important snot out of Luz's life for good. One night of shaking hand and speaking in a fake rich person accent for a pile of money and never seeing that ridiculous dye job in the customer line again? She's down.

There's only one small problem, and it just ran her over in the parking lot.

"Luz, are you okay? Did Amity do this?!"

"I'm fine! … Who's Amity?"

Now nearly 15,000 words. If I have another day like today, this should be up by tomorrow evening.

Chapter 29 is now over 12000 words. Not too much longer now, hopefully. It'd be nice if things would stop being on fire for a little while, but we'll see if I can catch one single bloody break.

I'm workin' on my Veesha fic again. 👀

I won some adorable Lumity art in a raffle held by @mortellanarts!

ART REQUESTS FOR POLITICAL ACTION!!!

Hey y’all! So I don’t talk about where I work on fandom socials because I don’t want to dox myself or whatever but fun fact: I am a scientist in the Office of Research and Development at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency! I am speaking now as a private citizen and not as an EPA representative. An article from the NYT came out yesterday saying that the reduction in force plan for the EPA includes a dissolution of my office, which, to be clear, is the entire scientific research arm and the largest office of the agency. I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that would significantly hinder the EPA’s mission of protecting human health and the environment.

It’s not just the EPA: the unelected and not congressionally approved leader (Elon Musk) of the unofficial department that was not established by Congress (DOGE) is (illegally) coming after ALL federal services just so their billionaire friends can get richer. I know a lot of you are not U.S. Americans, so you can’t do anything, but for those of you who are: please do something, whether it’s calling or writing your reps, showing at a protest, or just talking to your family (talk to your family about Social Security, Medicare, and the VA particularly).

This is about the constitution (which has been violated an absurd amount of times in the last two months), it is about YOUR public services, it is about YOUR worker’s rights and civil rights, and it is, frankly, about the economy, which is already taking a hit.

Every little thing that you do counts 🙏🏼 AND if you do something I WILL FULFILL AN ART REQUEST FOR YOU!!! I have never done this before, so patience please 💖💖💖 but I will do my best and I look forward to hearing about your action!!! DM me with your political action after you have done it and your request (I may negotiate based on my skill level 😅).
