"It was really scary, but--I realize doing anything new will have its scary moments, even the fun stuff."

I didn't realize this was the sequel, not that it mattered, because I would have loved it either way! So bloody adorable 🫶🏻🧄🧙🏻‍♀️

"As much as she hungers for the flames of magic to burn through her fingertips, she has no interest in trading one controlling society for another."

"My chest bursts open, or at least it feels that way. It splits right down the middle. Zip goes the scalpel. Blood. There should be blood everywhere. There should be blood covering the whole world when your whole self spills right out onto the floor."

"I'm proud of what I've created. I'm proud to know that I've given my people a space where we can be ourselves without limitations, regardless of shade or financial ability. Nobody has to worry about real-life problems here. The police don't profile us, people don't gentrify our neighborhoods, and we don't have to remind people not to touch our hair. And if experiencing that here in my game, just for a moment, makes even one SLAYer rethink their role in the world as a Black person, if it gives them the power to face whatever they have to in the real world, that's enough to make all of this worth it."

"SilkWings were dragons, too, just like them. SilkWings didn't deserve to be stepped on, sneered at, poked without permission, punished for no reason, or ignored. It made no sense. Why would a different wing shape, or a slightly different scale color, or antennae, make one dragon superior and another dragon worth nothing."

"Snowfall's wings ached from flying all day, but she felt lighter than she could remember feeling in forever. As though her scales were made of moonlight, shining through the dark clouds that had been around her."
