"I am undone without you."

I finally read the book.

I take commissions and ready to draw art of your favorite character (the locked tomb, tv series, games, manga, anime series, etc). I also could draw your own OC.

If anyone are interested please send me a DM.

the homophobic teenage boys in the DN fandom are so weird and annoying lmfao. they rage about light not being canonly gay but he basically is. did the creator actually say the word gay? no, but Ohba doesn’t actually have to say the word gay, not to mention obvious censorship especially at the time DN was actually written.

the manga clearly states and consistently stresses that light yagami does not like women, that he has no interest in women. this is not something shown only after he creates the personality of Kira. it is revealed that even before light picked up the DN, he consistently rejected girls and made the excuse that he would not date until college. while he is Kira, he consistently manipulates various women who show interest in him, while either internally or outright rejecting them.

Light also consistently shows more interest in male characters throughout the manga, even before he obtains the DN. he shows more interest in Mikami vs Takada despite them both being fairly equal in terms of intellect and drive. even before he obtains the DN, while with male highschool friends, he asks one to send him a New Year’s card and the friend replies, “sorry, I only send them to girls.” Misa even outright accuses L and Light of being gay. this would obviously suggest the author is very much aware of what they are writing and implying. did Ohba say light was gay? no. but Ohba DID say that light was incapable of loving women, while also stating that light was very much capable of experiencing love and other human emotions. cope <3

additional info:

-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria

many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!

please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month

Tips for creative writers:

1. Read widely: Read books, articles, and poetry across different genres and styles. This exposure to diverse writing will expand your vocabulary, inspire new ideas, and help you develop your own unique voice.

2. Write regularly: Establish a writing routine and stick to it. Set aside dedicated time each day or week to write, even if it's just for a short period. Regular practice is key to honing your skills and maintaining creative momentum.

3. Embrace creativity exercises: Engage in writing exercises or prompts to stimulate your imagination. Explore free writing, brainstorming, or visual prompts to spark new ideas and challenge your creative boundaries.

4. Edit and revise: Don't be afraid to revise your work. Editing is a crucial part of the writing process, allowing you to refine your ideas, improve clarity, and enhance the overall quality of your writing. Embrace feedback and be open to making changes.

5. Develop unique characters: Create well-rounded and believable characters by giving them depth, flaws, and distinctive voices. Explore their motivations, desires, and conflicts to make them relatable and engaging for readers.

6. Show, don't tell: Instead of telling readers what is happening or how characters feel, strive to show it through vivid descriptions, sensory details, and compelling dialogue. Engage the readers' senses and immerse them in your storytelling.

7. Pay attention to pacing: Balance the pace of your writing to maintain reader engagement. Mix moments of tension and action with quieter, reflective scenes. Vary sentence length and structure to create rhythm and keep the narrative flowing.

8. Create compelling dialogue: Craft dialogue that is realistic, purposeful, and reveals character traits. Use dialogue to advance the plot, reveal conflicts, and deepen relationships between characters.

9. Embrace constructive feedback: Seek feedback from trusted peers, writing groups, or mentors. Constructive criticism can help you identify blind spots, refine your writing, and grow as a writer.

10. Stay inspired and curious: Maintain a sense of curiosity about the world around you. Seek inspiration from art, music, nature, and everyday experiences. Keep a journal to capture ideas, observations, and inspiration that may fuel your writing.

Happy writing!

my sweet girls!
