#EroticMusings 46: Does your work ever explore its own unreality? Part 2

So far, my narrators have tried to be honest brokers. But they can only tell what they know and believe.

For example, Ume in #KonbiniIdol can be very hard on herself, and if you took her words at face value, you would believe she was a totally selfish, self-serving person. Things she can be, but not to the degree she blames herself for.

Similarly, in #MyGirlfriend, Kao believes herself fatally cursed and worthless. While Shiro battles between what she was taught about social conformity and proper sexual conduct and her own impulses.d.

In #TheGirlWhoSawGhosts, Arisu comes to believe she is a youkai who has possessed someone.

From that point of view, it explores how self-image and reality don't always match.

What role does the rumor mill play in your story?

In my second novel, My Girlfriend Almost Got Me Killed rumor as a weapon against queer people is illustrated and plays an important role in the early part of the novel.

The end result is below. Dogeza! by: Mai-sensei

“What do you make of this question?”

Tomo looked over Kan-chan’s shoulder. The Fedi prompt read, “#ScribesAndMakers 6/26 What?”

“Whatever you want. Ume would love a question like this,” he answered.

“You’re right, I would. So much room for wordplay, or I could write a little slice-of-life story. I would #mine it for all it’s worth.”

Shiro joined them. “I want you to write a story featuring ‘What,’” she said to Ume.

“Ume’s not your sub, Mistress,” Kan-chan said.

“Whatever. If she doesn’t, then you do it.” Shiro’s wicked smile revealed how much she was enjoying this.

Ume looked at Kan-chan: “What one of us should do it?”

“That is improper grammar,” Shiro pointed out.

The author shrugged.

#WritersCoffeeClub 6/24. Do any of your characters value being well-dressed?

In my WIP Kan-chan and Shishi enjoy dressing up. Kan-chan is cute and Shishi dark.
In my prior two novels, nice clothes and street fashion were a prominent part of the characters' lives.

Pictures of the characters from "My Girlfriend Almost Got Me Killed" dressed up for clubbing.

#NMWCC #NMPrompts #MyGirlfriend

#WordWeavers 20. Other than injuries, do your characters ever have health issues?

* Shiomi: Depression. Alcoholism in recovery (now not at the start of the series), Cursed
* Kao: ASD, Depression, Social Anxiety, Alcoholism in recovery, cursed, possession
* Kan-chan: Depression, Social Anxiety
* Arisu: ASD, Depression, Social Anxiety, Dissociative fugue

I am familiar with all there except Cursed and Dissociative fugue. #ActuallyAutistic

Forgot Ghost Sick: Shiomi, Ume, Saeki Sayaka, Tomo They all recovered.

Note: I do have characters without mental health issues. Forget it, they probably ALL have PTSD.

#WordWeavers 25-04.02 Assuming it’s possible in your world, how does your MC react when their parents call?

Part 2 (My Girlfriend Almost Got Me Killed)

Shiro: Hopefully she wants to patch things up and has accepted that Kao is my partner.

Kao: Hang-up the phone and then go cry in Shiro's lap. I never, never want to hear from them.

#MyGirlfriend #NMWW,

#WordWeavers 1. Describe your story using only 5 nouns Part 2

#KonbiniIdol: Yuri, Lovers, Lesbians, Youkai, "Found Family"
#MyGirlfriend: Yuri, Lovers, Sex, Plot, Youkai
#Arisu: Yuri, Lovers, "Good Girl," "School Mysteries," Youkai

Collective discription: Yuri, Lovers, Lesbian, "Found Family," Youkai

Venn diagram: Yuri, Lovers, Youkai

Lesbian is assumed in the type of #Yuri I write. And Found Family would be on all of them if there were more slots.

#NMWW

#WordWeavers 30. What do your characters get nostalgic about? What triggers that?

#KonbiniIdol Both Ume and Tomo sometimes get nostalgic about when their relationship was new. Street fairs, idol shows, dumping beer on each other. Back when things were simpler when there were no cults, ghost, or other youkai interfering with them. Tomo might go back if he could, but Ume has Shishi now and there is no going back.

What triggers it? Reminders of their past: Mementos, bits of conversation, dreams, looking at each other.

#MyGirlFriend None of the character are nostalgic. Shiro is the only one with a past that isn’t totally messed up and even she wouldn’t want to go back.

#NMWW

#PennedPossibilities 628 — Tell us about the trauma your antagonist / villain has endured. (If they have any.)

From “My Girlfriend Almost Got Me Killed.”

Meiko was a transmasc who came out and was rejected by his parents. His girlfriend, a lesbian, not knowing his gender identification, had frequently said she could never love a man. Meiko interprets this as meaning he would be rejected if he ever came out to her. This leads to Meiko’s ultimate demise and his return as a ghost.

I gave Meiko a real raw deal.

#EngenderedWriting 22 — Can your MC flaunt clothing taboos, cross dress, or handle nudity? Can you write it?

They do alot of that in my second novel. It's the kind of risk Shiro loves.

My Girlfriend Almost Got Me Killed, so We had Wild Sex

I don't think any of the characters in the third novel would have a problem with this, but it hasn't come up.

#wordweavers #Writing 9. What is the most cowardly thing your MC does?

Tomo: "I can't think of anything cowardly Ume has done. Foolish definately; cowardly no."

Shishi: "Okay, I forgive you for the crack you made in the last post."

Shiro: "On the other hand, I failed to talk to my mother about having a girlfriend and that let to all kinds of trouble."

#KonbiniIdol #MyGirlfriend

#WritersCoffeeClub #writng 2: Write a traumatic, disturbing scene?

I prefer weird and/or creepy to traumatic. But I do put tags on my work to indicate potential triggers.

I probably do disturbing but not in the traumatic sense.

#PennedPossibilities #Writing 332 — What were your MC's childhood obsessions?

Narrative Character:

#Arisu (Arisu the Girl Who Saw Ghosts )

Saeki: I didn't have any obsessions I can think of until I got to high school. I was pretty obsessed with Tolko. during that time. It didn't work out for me though. Probably just as well since I never would have met Arisu. What were you obsessed with Arisu?

Arisu: You. Don't ask me how. It's just one of those things I seem to know. I was obsessed with you. Couldn't you tell when we finally met?

Saeki: Indeed.

-------------------------------------------

#MyGirlfriend (My Girlfriend Almost Got Me Killed)

Shiro: "Nothing really. Some people say I was obsessed with studying, but I don't think so. I was just diligent.

--------------------------------------------

#KonbiniIdol (For Love of a Konbini Idol)

Ume: Girl's stuff. Kimono's, dolls, that kind of thing. Now that you mention it I think that's what my mother got so upset about that time. Some kimono silk I had supposedly "stolen."

I got good at hiding my interest though. I had a little fort amid some old sakura trees where I could play house and pretend I was a princess.

Shishi, I bet you were obessed with idols.

Shishi: How did you ever guess?

#Transgender #Transfem

#PennedPossibilities #Writing 331
Has your MC ever desired the feeling of a fresh start, or a better understanding of themselves and/or the world around them?

Per narrative character:
Saeki: "After my failed confession I wanted one. Not that I did anything about it. I can thank Arisu for the changes in my life." #Arisu (Arisu the Girl Who Saw Ghosts )

Shiro: "I didn't know I needed one until Kao came alone. Even then it took a while. I'm glad it happened though. When I think how dreary my life would have been if I had continued along the path I was going. #MyGirlfriend (My Girlfriend Almost Got Me Killed)

Ume: "Been there done that. And big time. The one I think you should ask is Shishi."

Shiomi: "They can read about it when you publish my life story."

Ume: "Working on it."
#KonbiniIdol (For Love of a Konbini Idol)

LesFicFri: Wish

“Whatever you wish, Mistress.”

The next thing I knew, she had let go of me and was kneeling at my feet. “Mistress Shiro, will you accept me as your neko? I know I’m all messed up and weird, but I would be honored if you thought me worthy to serve you.”

LesFicFri: Stare

From: Kaori’s Song: A Women's Eyes

There she was. I had found Kotohime again. There was no mistaking that glorious ginger hair. I went part-time to the same university she did, so finding her hadn’t been too hard. I had tried to be patient waiting for her to call me, but she hadn’t. So there I was in the cafeteria, waiting to see if she ate lunch there.
