@thebrambler13.bsky.socialRaven & Bear actually takes place in Wales!
A post-apocalyptic Wales, six centuries after a nuclear war...
So... the Welsh? However, what does it mean to be Welsh. Welsh... a Saxon phrase for the foreign. Cymry... for we are countrymen.

@solarisstory.bsky.socialReposted by @thebrambler13.bsky.socialLooking for another audio-based story to enjoy? Fancy some folklore & legend from the beautiful country of Wales? There's plenty of time to catch up before Bramble's next episode is out!

@thebrambler13.bsky.socialVery funky, I like it but it's not a great fit for Raven & Bear.
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialI'm genuinely so tired and so ill right now. Give me knight themed songs for my writing playlist I beg thee. I am in dire need of it.
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialThank you for sharing my friend! We've got some spooky shenanigans for Of Dina & Dan which I'm so excited to share with you all!
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialThank you my friend, it's good to hear you enjoy them!
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialMy characters don't really come out.
Ata crushes on girls in several stories. Sir Corbyn sleeps with a polycule in The Lake Hopper and talks about his own periods in The Eisteddfod when Ata gets her first. Raven & Bear is queer normative.

@thebrambler13.bsky.socialIt's been a comfort to have casual queerness in different shows and books. I think it depends how you identify positive representation. I'm a little burnt out on media only showing the struggles not the joys.

@thebrambler13.bsky.socialAI could never be so tuff!
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialIf you want sincere, thoughtful, loving works of fiction then please check out my fucking stories. I promise you, I really love knights and Welsh mythology and King Arthur's legends. They're all free to enjoy too!
My next story comes out Friday: youtu.be/kixGRT6gjHQ
Here's a teaser, enjoy folks!
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialI don't have "cousin" in this #WIPSnips, but my readers can tell you I'm very specific about how I describe people's features. So, the fact I ued "dirt-black hair" here was a very deliberate connection to Ata.
Also, his name is pronounced "Kil".

![An excerpt from The Eisteddfod (Raven & Bear: 6) by Bramble.
Transcript:
Sir Corbyn spoke first, “apologies young lord, do I know you?”
“My name is Cul,” each of his gasps emerged in a cloud of fog, punctured by needle-thin raindrops, “no need for titles. I know a knight of Branwen holds authority equal to a vassal.”
“Then, Cul, can I help you.” The knight held that umbrella over him, tone sterner than sea salt, “you were watching me.”
“No Sir, your page.” He straightened up, “I found them oddly familiar and can’t place it. Have you ever been to Celliwig?”
“Aye, though not with her,” a patient glare pummelled this youthful noble, who shivered pitifully. Each word from Sir Corbyn broke against Cul’s ears as waves did cliffs, “before we met a year ago, she had never left Dinas Glyndŵr in Gwynedd.”
“Then I must have the wrong of it and I’ll leave you be.”
After a nervous apology and swift farewell, that boy hurried into a downpour which washed out any colour. The old man’s cold stare darted toward his familiar dirt-black hair and rounded features when he passed by. A resemblance, he was certain. It nearly tempted Sir Corbyn to call Cul back. Yet, a great weight dragged down any words until they drowned inside him.

@solarisstory.bsky.socialReposted by @thebrambler13.bsky.socialNo cousin. So we'll go with nephew...ehh...brother? Magpie's family is a bit complicated. From Ch8.
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialI get it it's just a shame because Raven & Bear is like, lowkey the best thing I've ever written and it's not even close. I've gotten compliments on these stories which make me smug as fuck but I know I wouldn't get them for the other things I've written. So I really want people to see this!
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialThanks pal! It might actually be nice to like, go back and edit it all in a single video with what I know now so I'll try that out once they're all recorded!
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialYup, one person here with several disabilities so it's hard to make these videos.
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialI don't think there are any inherent benefits of one over the other for me. I'm planning to get my stories onto Spotify when I have a chance. I know that's not too helpful, sorry.
@thebrambler13.bsky.socialFor me, the main issue I've had is just with building an audience. Especially with retaining them. I don't know whether it's an issue with my writing or the quality of the videos I've made so far.
So how do I "fix" my writing or videos?
