There is a part of me while writing this fairytale where I’m like, “Holy crap, I mean all people ever talk about is diversity in fiction and there are like NO hetero people in this. And also very few white people. I have a genderqueer mermaid, a gay pirate, a lesbian asexual steampunk girl, and my hero has a disability. I AM AWESOME.”

And then the other part is like, “HAHAHA no really, don’t even worry about diversity you guys, this white cis heteroromantic has it covered. I have handled diversity, it’s all fine now.” *headdesk*
