Lots of potion paranoia in my WIP "The Lovesick Summer of Poppy and Wolf."

She sat down with her own cereal, which she sniffed before eating, just in case. Wolf could have spiked the milk, but she knew what truth potions smelled like. They had a subtle hazelnut odor.

From "Heidi's House of Rescued Familiars." #writingcommunity #writesky

"It didn’t hurt that much but that never mattered. In her body, something felt foreign and unwelcome like a parasite. At the mercy of magic, her logic folded and everything seemed like a monster, like this house. This house always hungered for her blood, used to clean its rugs and fortify its ceiling. "

Book titled THE EYE OF YHE BEDLAM BRIDE by Matt Dinniman.

Did the narrative in the ending to The Blue Prince make anyone else cry??? I feel like it stands out beautifully in our current times. I've just been thinking of it a lot lately. I had to transcribe it.

“There was once a red prince who sat on a red throne. He had a red crown made of rubies and a red castle made of stone. The prince had a love for all things red, ‘it’s the only true color,’ the prince often said. He could not stand the sight of a canary or a crow. He could not stand the white of a swan in the snow. And he never looked up for fear of the view, he had heard that the sky was not a red hue. He didn’t see the birds or the changing of the leaves and he never saw the sights of life’s many symphonies.

He couldn’t see beyond the red shade he was aware. He never caught a glimpse of the world we had to share. But one day the prince saw something new, and if you look closely, you might see it too.

The skies parted, and the clouds withdrew. The prince had a new favorite color, the color blue...”

HEIDI'S HOUSE OF RESCUED FAMILIARS 🐸Rural Louisiana setting 🫂Found family 🔮Magical nonprofit 🐅Tiger King inspired villain 🏳️‍🌈Ace romantic subplot 🌷The complexity of healing in a place that hurt you 👁️‍🗨️Cozy but dark 🦗Hostile summer vibes 🪄Redneck wizards #bluepit #bluepit📖 #F #A #LGBT #Q

Moodboard that says HEIDI'S HOUSE OF RESCUED FAMILIARS. Images include a crow landing on a woman in black's shoulder, a black cat on a rococo chair, a window with a view of a barn, a trailer park, rearview mirror, a hand in swamp water, bloodied hands, tied lamb feet, a girl holding a coyote, a swamp at night, an herb book, and moss dangling down from a tree.

In the decaying community of Lombar County, Louisiana, most witches and wizards (the Folk) live in trailers, RVs, or rundown motels. They party in New Orleans, worship evil gods, get addicted to love potions, and make memes about fire spells gone wrong. However, there are little places that try to do some good, like Heidi's House.

- Told from the POV of three staff members in a nonprofit familiar rescue.
- Southern gothic themes meet Urban Fantasy: Decay, community, and classism.
- Asexual and transgender rep.

Toad hoarders, teleporting cat colonies, and exotic reptile conventions are just a Tuesday in "Heidi's house of Rescued Familiars," but when Heidi vows to rescue a familiar from the richest wizard in Louisiana, her little nonprofit is in for a rescue unlike any other. #BluePit📖 #A #LGBT #F #Q
