LGBTQ+ fantasy books with quests and adventures! There is no cozy fantasy here, but not all of it is epic or high fantasy

Meet the unique members of the Blandings Castle household- from the forgetful Lord Emsworth to the witty Galahad, from the ever-disapproving Lady Constance to a LITERAL PIG (yes, a PIG. She's important.) These books will make you laugh so loud that others in the room will question your sanity.

Lou! is a comic book (and later animated series) created by French artist Julien Neel starring Lou, an initially tween girl who grows up throughout, and her single mom, an aspiring Space Opera writer (who gets published eventually). The comic started out as a gag series, but from the second volume onwards, it focuses on story and continuity, with more characters being introduced and existing ones getting more important roles

inspired by me watching youtube videos about literary analysis of villains, here is a list full of books in which i believe their villains to be absolutely ghastly and horrifying; bloody and abusive, terrorizing and killing. if you have any to recommend, please put them in the comments! i'd love to make this list large!

Did they make me cry? Yes. Do I suggest you read them and cry too? Yes.
