you want bonus prompts? YOU GOT BONUS PROMPTS (though for both challenges anima isn’t like, super visible, but æ is on there)
book cover art by kuri huang, audiobook cover art by anni roenkae
for this challenge a book may only count toward five squares simultaneously. luckily, #InTheWatchfulCity hits so many squares that you have three sets of five squares to pick from :p
top 5 most true to the book and that may be harder to fill: 1. more than one queer disabled character 2. multi-POV book with queer disabled MC 3. audiobook narrated by queer disabled author 4. transgender disabled MC 5. queer disabled BIPOC
in fact ALL the characters are BIPOC
every time you read my work you will mark at minimum three demographic squares on a bingo, with an average of like, 8–10 squares fulfilled by me alone

the idea of “last wilderness” is inherently colonial
ever defining a frontier
when there is a frontier, there is a place to seize more space
also like how can the ocean be earth’s last wilderness when there’s so much terrestrial wilderness and people die in it all the time _because_ there’s no one else around
western medicine is just beginning to recognize that inflammation exists and gut health is a foundation of all health, and meanwhile thousands of years of chinese medicine are like “to reduce fire in your body, eat cool foods”
me ben affleck smoking at the pain of trying to eat more cool foods and cut down on stuff that 上火
pissed off that people think guasha is some twee shit but hey at least it means I was able to get cultural tools from ross for $5 that are effective for self-massage
my navel hangs a full 4 inches lower when I don’t focus on pulling in my core and straightening my back. that’s an 18° increase in spine curvature, if I did my trigonometry correctly
corsets improved my pain but apparently my spinal curve is so severe that that’s probably what *actually* snapped steel, TWICE
people were always like “noooo you can’t wear a brace all the time it’ll weaken your muscles” and now I’m reading “people with lordosis often need a brace for 20 hours a day”
ughhhhhhhhhh using physics and chemistry knowledge to think about bodies and how low air pressure precedes storms and also worsens inflammation because your body has more room to expand and put pressure on joints
let me be a taut high-pressure meatskin blood balloon with properly elastic joints
we’re like 60% water and I guess when a storm is coming we are wilted sad little floppy stems and after water comes down to rehydrate we are turgid blood blooms. makes sense
OH IS THAT WHAT… I thought.. body was just tingly I didn’t realize… PAIN
wow I’m trying to summon one single brain cell to get pain cream and the thought of getting up to get my target delivery later feom just the front door feels unbearable
I guess this is a 9, I am only not rating it a 10 because I haven’t started crying
