Sketching a rough concept for ASTERIA, mother of HEKATE 🔮
“ASTERIA (aka Delos) was the Titan goddess of falling stars and perhaps of nighttime divinations such as oneiromancy (by dreams) and astrology (by stars). She was the mother of Hekate (Hecate), goddess of witchcraft.”

100% my experience growing up in the ‘60s/'70s.
This. In the 1970s, I heard “gay” constantly thrown as an insult as early as second grade (where it was generally a synonym for “girly, in a bad way”); I didn’t learn what homosexuality was (or that it *existed* — yeah, I was kind of a sheltered kid) until I was in seventh grade.
(I remember how I learned, too. It was due to controversy surrounding Terri Gibbs’ song Somebody’s Knockin’. There’s nothing explicitly gay about the song, which is about a woman inviting “the devil”, a man with “blue eyes and blue jeans”, into her apartment for a one-night stand. But Terri’s voice and name are both androgynous enough that some people thought it was about a man inviting another man into his apartment for a one-night stand, and until I heard that take I didn’t even know that was a thing you could do. These days, I can’t find any mentions of the controversy over the song via Google, but I remember it. I was there)
When the author describes a character’s appearance way too late and you have to quickly redesign the image you already have for them in your head:
This is why if you want people to know your character has long raven-black hair with red streaks and eyes like limpid tears, you need to make sure you say so in your first paragraph. Christ. Imagine someone thinking your character’s a prep.
Holy shit I’m dying.
That. That literally explains the opening paragraph of My Immortal I was making a joke but this person came out here with receipts holy hell
