Last Notes npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch So, I weighed myself to check if I was having any unexplained weight loss due to some potential illness stuff and...nope, I've put on almost a stone and am what is technically known as heckin' chonky. Guess eating pizza and doing less hiking will do that to a gal, especially one on hrt too. So....yeah, I should really do something about that. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Spending my afternoon break reading a gorgeous spicy fic from @nprofile…wvvh - this was delicious! 💜 https://archiveofourown.org/works/94811261 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Just a reminder since the uk has gone and done a transphobia again, please content warn your relevant posts and don't boost posts without a content warning that could cause distress to your trans friends. We know already, we don't need to have it blasted into our timelines, thanks. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #FediCoven Q14 What, if anything, does “the thinning of the veil” mean to you? What realm lies beyond the other side? *Insert optional spooky noise. 👻 Veils are always pretty thin, aren't they? But I do think there's something in it, something about the autumn that makes slipping into a magical liminal space easier, just so long as you stay grounded enough not to be spirited away by the fae. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch I've been really enjoying Cassie Workman is Witchy AF and this episode is a great (and funny) look at the history and influence of Wicca. So mote it be! https://youtu.be/hPNZCZextOw #Wicca #witchcraft #fedicoven npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #FediCoven Q13 How do you feel about Halloween? When I was a kid, and a girl even though I didn't know it yet, it was the day I got to dress up as a witch and pretend to fly a broomstick. Every other day I had to pretend to be a boy but that day was different, you could be anyone you want. And now I'm a trans woman and practicing Hekatean witch so I get to be that every day. I don't like the plastic Halloween tat, but I appreciate its magic still. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #FediCoven Q12 Within the context of your practice, who are your ancestors? I don't do a lot of ancestor work in my practice. My blood ancestors are not welcome in my circle, for reasons. I acknowledge the ancestors of land, as I live somewhere that's been inhabited since the neolithic, there's a lot of them. I'm inspired by queer and trans ancestors and aspire to live up to their courage. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Some stuff the other day made me seriously consider leaving the fediverse but no...I'm staying. I have friends here and I'm building new connections. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #PennedPossibilities 1137: Do you have an FMC, MMC, other gender MC, or more than one MC? So many acronyms, lol! My usual main character, Alana, is nonbinary. They stared gender in the face and said no. - "Alana, are you a girl or a boy?" - "I am a Crow. A deadly assassin." - "but what's in your pants?" - "a knife" *stabs you* npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch New pfp from Cutie Crows on picrew, same me but crow-ier. https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/2624678 https://stockroom.wandering.shop/media_attachments/files/117/319/121/909/040/117/original/619bea37971d394e.png npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #ScribesAndMakers 9/22: Promotion day! Promote your work or others! I'm going to promote Chronicles of the Realms by @nprofile…wvvh because its epic and vast, emotional and complex, and because I love Ashrah 💜 https://archiveofourown.org/works/63099754 And I'm also going to promote @nprofile…tgw2 and the Fall of Alduin because it's such a well-told and engaging story. https://archiveofourown.org/works/87120376 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #FediCoven Q11 How do you acknowledge the autumnal equinox and do you celebrate Mabon? I don't call it Mabon for reasons other people have mentioned in their answers, but the autumn equinox is a very significant time for me personally, it's a time of renewal after the draining heat of summer. I've just got back from a witchy retreat to reconnect with nature and my path, for the weekend before the actual equinox. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Day 2 at the seaside, today's agenda is a walk to the pier, a brewery tour, and a fancy dinner this evening. Interspersed with naps. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Emailed a pole dance fitness studio about trans inclusive facilities and got a good response back (all welcome, toilets and changing rooms not gendered) so... Looks like your friendly neighbourhood River might be taking up a new hobby soon. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Is WIP Wednesday a thing on here? Playing around with a couple more fanfic ideas, and I'm liking the thought of doing a classic whodunnit on a boat that morphs into eldritch horror - "Death on the Nile" meets "Call of Cthulhu". Not sure I'll be able to pull it off, but it could be a fun case for Detective Neve Gallus. #WIPwednesday #FanficIdeas npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #FediCoven 2026 Q5: What helps you feel welcome in a pagan or witchy space? And what doesn't? Genuine inclusivity - by which I mean no overt transphobia but also no gender essentialist god/goddess binary, womb magic, divine feminine/masculine stuff. Also, just treat me like anyone else, don't make me feel like the token trans person you keep around to prove how inclusive you are. Just be chill. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #FediCoven 2026 Q4: How do you identify? (Witch, druid, pagan, shaman, medium, 'all of the above'?) I like the term Hedgewitch, as meaning a nature-focused solitary witch. My main deity is Hekate, but as she is also a nature goddess of liminal spaces, she pairs nicely with Hedgewitchery. Most of my practice is about connecting with the land around me, learning its ecology and folklore, and working in relationship with it. To most people I just say pagan or witch. I was a druid, once. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Went to an alt-pride thing and just kinda felt like I was out of place. I'm too queer for normie spaces, but maybe too normie for the really radical queer spaces, idk. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn @nprofile…s8h3 definitely something in the ether today, which I didn't even know I needed. I'd like to practice more intuitive magic. Which might start with kitchen witching a spicy stir fry tonight, get that fiery energy going. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn "magic is eclectic creative chaos" - I've trained in various traditions and always chafed at all their rules and prescriptions, and this is so much more freeing. Also excellent timing as @nprofile…s8h3 was just telling me about chaos magic this afternoon. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #FediCoven 2026 Q3 - Are you out of the broom closet? Selectively, but mostly. And in different degrees. To most people, I'll say I'm pagan if it comes up (which is rare because people don't talk about religion much in the uk). To friends I'll be more specific about my path if they ask. I do always wear a pentagram because if the christians can wear their crosses, why shouldn't I wear a symbol of my path? I guess I dress kinda witchy, in a soft goth/hippy sort of way. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Laser zapping 8 of 10 done, burning that dyspho out. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh ooh I like that! And Ashrah's magic sounds super cool! 💜 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh nice, now I'm thinking of what custom spells would look like for Alana. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh that is such a cool way of doing magic, that personal connection that's different for everyone is such a great way to show their characters and how they connect and experience mystic energy. As a watery kind of witch, I love that Ashrah describes her connection as water too. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn your art is amazing, and definitely not AI. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #FediCoven 2026 Q2 - What role does self-care play in your practice? Any tips? I am notoriously bad at self-care until my body decides to do it for me, so this is a useful prompt to remind me to actually do this more. Funny how years of dysphoria give a girl a weird relationship with their body, hey? My favourite self-care practice is yoga, I try to do this most days. Napping is good too, we're all running on less sleep than we need. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Bought this sticker from a local queer artist at the market, and it's the most *me* thing I've ever seen. Trans Pride Crow! https://stockroom.wandering.shop/media_attachments/files/117/105/133/224/953/759/original/1fafeb01e8b169da.jpg npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh an excellent choice! ;) npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #FediCoven 2026 Q1 - For those who have a form of divination in their practice, does this indicate to you that the universe is predestined/deterministic? I think of the 'verse as conscious, and we co-create the future. Divination is more of a reflection tool for me than a fortune-telling one. It can show possibilities but whether they are made real or not is up to you. (Yay Fedicoven q's are back, thank you @nprofile…hgrn ) npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Having to update my bloods and prescription request with the doctors = major medical anxiety today. Every time I worry they'll stop prescribing my hrt for reasons. Didn't help that I messed up the email and said please see attached twice. My bloods are ok though, just dealing with medical bureaucracy is big stress time. :flag_trans: npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch I took no photos but that eclipse energy was exactly what I needed to reinvigorate myself. Next phase of my path awaits, let's go witches! #Fedicoven npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn see, this is why I love the way you think. Everything is creative if you shift perspective. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch I said I'd write a thing about my experience/discovery of plurality and I have. Hope it makes sense, I'm still very new to this particular understanding. https://write.as/therivercrow/plurality #Plural #Plurality #MedianSystem npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh reading a couple of Chronicles chapters too! 💜 And thank you, that's the idea anyway :) npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Eepy River today, just about got the energy to lie on the sofa and read. Gotta fight the little annoying brain weasels that are telling me I'm wasting my weekend. Nope, I am resting after a really stressful week. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh hehe, I just read about Ashrah adding zombies to her list of things to do! npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #PennedPossibilities 1093 Name something you love about your MC. Despite being raised in a (literally) backstabbing guild of assassins, Alana still sees the good in people, and believes that's worth fighting for. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Me: gee, I wonder why I'm tired and have insomnia, headaches, and ibs this week? Other me: lists about half a dozen stressful events that are all happening to me at once. Me: ok, but isn't that usual for me? Other me: yeah, that's the problem. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh well, i think you're a better artist than you think you are. Also looking forward to reading some more tomorrow, Ashrah's at Nekros now! 💜 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh you are an artist, I like your art, and it shows Ashrah and company the way you see them. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Dragon Age Kiss Week day 2 - Injury When Alana is injured in battle, Lace Harding thinks on her feet to find a way to numb the pain… https://archiveofourown.org/works/89605881/chapters/238013126 #daKiss26 #DragonAge #DAFanfic #AlanaDeRiva npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Over on tumblr, 1-7 August is Dragon Age Kiss Week, so I'll be posting one mini-fic a day for seven days.

They do Not have kids. #WritingStuff #AlanaDeRiva npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh ooh yay, I'm glad you're getting more readers! You deserve it. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh hehehe, I wouldn't dare call Ashrah smol! npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn haha, what a fabulous little terror! Maybe we all need to nurture our inner Pelly sometimes XD npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn oh my gosh I love her already! npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch I am full of love, and rage, and fatigue. Today the fatigue is winning. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch I deleted the post but I described myself earlier as a terf's worst nightmare in a floral dress. And y'know? I am. I'm a trans woman. I don't "pass". I don't feminise my voice. I'm autistic. I take up space. I advocate for myself and others. I'm sapphic and polyamorous. I'm a witch. I work in a university, exposing students to dangerous ideas like how trans people exist and can have successful teaching careers. And I'm kinda proud of that. :flag_trans: npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh ... does she...use her tail? 👀 I'm gonna look forward to that one, hehe! npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #WordWeavers 22. If your MC could steal one thing without consequences, what would it be? Viago's prized vintage bottle of Storm Age Chateuneuf du Divin. Alana's tried to steal it many times, just to see the look on Viago's face, but he's swapped it out for poisoned decoys, moved it to another cellar, had it locked behind anti-magic wards... One day, Alana knows, it will be theirs. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch So I know that calorie tracking and restriction can lead to disordered eating, especially in neurodivergent folk and folk with a history of trauma. Yet every time, I'm like "oh but I can do it without spiralling" and...nope. So I'm stopping doing that. I'm eating well, exercising, etc. but look: I'm a curvy gal and that's hot. I love food, and cooking, and treats, and enjoying my life. And that means more than a number on a scale. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch The Heartstopper film was beautiful, but you can tell they originally wanted to do a full series and had to cut stuff out - yay Netflix cancelling another queer show - so it was a bit disjointed in places. But it was a fun movie date night with @nprofile…x4v7 🥰 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Anyway, I'm [number] months away from [socially significant age] so I'm thinking I better do something about that. Like pick up some weights, or take up pole dancing, or perform eldritch invocations to ancient nameless powers beneath the gibbous moon. Y'know, the usual things. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Hm, I notice I kind of tone myself down on here, and am weirder on tumblr. Could be a difference in cultures, could be some hangups I've picked up over various fedi instances. But...I should get weirder. ♒️🐦⬛ npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn yep. I'm wary of calls for growth of the fediverse for the sake of growth. A lot of us are here because the big social media sites became hostile and uninhabitable. And there's always someone who wants to standardise, centralise, and sanitise fedi (see the admin who wanted gay porn banned). If I do have to move on, those I care for will have other ways to contact me. 💜 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn ew, what a creepo. So gross, hope you gave him a reality check. And you're awesome doing the fitness thing, for yourself and your own power. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn I can almost smell the lavender from here!

Neve finds Alana's tenacity both admirable and frustrating. She sees a lot of herself in the way that they never know when to give up, though she does wish Alana would take better care of themself. Alana thinks the same applies to Neve. They're both kind of disasters, really. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh Perfect responses! npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch For the first time ever, my doctors have refused my hrt prescription and said I need a review. Is this coincidence or is this part of the wider uk issue of gps suddenly cutting trans people off their medication? Needless to say, I'm feeling pretty scared right now. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh We do love a bit of trans sapphic spice around here, and damn you write it so well! 💜 ❤️ npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Whee work stress triggering all my anxiety symptoms including physical ones.

Magic works, folks. #Fedicoven npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh hm, I can't think of anyone I'd have for Alana's voice other than Erika Ishii (the va i chose for Alana as Rook in-game) but if I could fancast for a movie, they'd be played by Amita Suman (Inej in Shadow and Bone gives me big Alana vibes). npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh that's very cute! I forgot you could do that sort of thing in BG3 these days :) And ooh, now I know whose voice to read Nitara's dialogue in! npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh ooh I like that, very atmospheric and could lead to any possibilities. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh thank you, my friend. That actually means a lot to me right now. I really appreciate you too. 💜 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch I don't really have friends. I have internet acquaintances that I attach too much emotional meaning to. But they probably don't think about me at all. In the end, I'm never enough. In the end, I'm always just pretending. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch I am so close to calling in sick today. I'm working from home but in tomorrow so maybe I'll call sick then. I feel wrecked. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn that's a magic potion right there! 💜 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Currently on enforced rest after a very ouchy horsefly bite on my ankle. Guess it's a tea and books kinda Sunday not a doing all the chores kinda one. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh ha, a wonderfully literal interpretation of "hot", that feels very Ashrah! npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn your art is gorgeous and magical, and so are you! 💖 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch River has had some wine, so as is tradition, I will now say to all my friends, I love you! 💖 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch I don't know how to be kind to myself. All I know is how to make myself useful. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Yesterday felt like a Friday and now I'm back in the office but also off tomorrow and my brain is doing the o_O face at me. Can I just go for a nap instead? npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #PennedPossibilities 1058 — Share something that you wrote (and love) with everyone. From "Enter the Alanaverse", a little experiment with some purple prose description, trying to be a bit Lovecraftian with it which I don't think I quite hit but damn I enjoyed it. https://stockroom.wandering.shop/media_attachments/files/116/843/706/357/710/362/original/061448b723b3c110.png npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Y'know, the last day of Pride Month would be a great time for any queer cuties to admit they want to smooch me... just sayin'... 😘 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch So, my uni women's rowing club decided to restrict membership to cis women only. In response, a new "open" division was created that anyone can compete in. Lots of women left to join the open division instead, and now the women's club are complaining about losing their best rowers. Be transphobic, lose support. That's the conses of your quences, folks. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch #WordWeavers 29/6: Which piece of your own writing is closest to your heart, and why? Enter the Alanaverse - this silly, self-indulgent fic featuring six alternative universe variants of my main character was the most fun I've ever had writing anything. It was a great way to practice things like fight scenes, dialogue and description, and a chance to really get into my character's head(s). It's on AO3 if you want a read: https://archiveofourown.org/works/71795956 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh yes! I love, love, love this one! So tender and sweet, I adore them! 💜🖤 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Solstice sun, sea, saltmarsh. Blessed be. https://stockroom.wandering.shop/media_attachments/files/116/790/003/564/322/238/original/30b61456a2e7fbcb.jpg npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Away at the coast for a few days with @nprofile…x4v7 , catch you on the other side. Stay hydrated and hide from the glowing orb of death! 🌞 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn it really is. And I get so annoyed that book gets recommend to people dealing with trauma. Sigh. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn exactly that. And he uses neuroscience that was debunked decades before this book, and cites studies that either don't exist, or don't say what he claims they say. And he's really quite misogynistic too and has a tendency to be sympathetic to men who've had war trauma but victim blaming to women with other traumas. I know from experience that physical healing is such an important part of trauma healing but just not for the reasons he says. Also, that book gave me nightmares. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch Listening to the "If Books Could Kill" podcast on The Body Keeps the Score, and I'm reminded of all the reasons why, both as a trauma survivor and as an academic librarian, I fkn hate this book. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh wait, this dude rewrote a snippet of *your* writing without your permission? Absolute cheek of it. And, we all love the most beautiful purple eyes in the universe :) npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh "too purple" in this case meaning actually has some character and emotion to it, no doubt. Also just ask Nitara, as she gazes into Ashrah's eyes and I'm sure she'd say there's no such thing as too purple. 💜 npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh Alywyll, heck yeah! What a shot, too, the expression on her face feels weary but stubborn. npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…hgrn wow, those redcurrants are shiny! Like little stained-glass gems. Enjoy the jam, it looks delicious! npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch @nprofile…wvvh I adore the level of detail you give to worldbuilding! npub1zg9jlacddafetk8cgsjrkj559xuatkysps38qfpdvvvzs0dcsesstc7cvt River the Crow Witch :heart_trans: Trans Women Are Women :trans_heart: That's it.

Hi, I'm River, your local queer witchy librarian! :heart_progress: I'm trans, poly, neurospicy and enjoy reading and writing fanfic, anime, gaming, hiking, and hexing the patriarchy. I'm new here but not new to the fediverse - after moving around a bit (ok, a lot), I'm looking for a chill place to stop awhile. Trying to keep things cozy so follow requests are subject to a vibe check, so say hi first!
