Multicultural erotic romance, undaunted by genre or gender. Nikkei. Cultural Marxist.

I’m fine with a wide variety of subject matter including BDSM as long as there is absolutely no eroticized rape, slavery or incest. You can email me at [email protected] if you’re interested in having me look over your story. I want to help!

[Imperator Takoyaki @solacewrites]

Thanks so much to everyone who sent messages of support. They helped. I’ve been on a rollercoaster of emotions as a response to this whole thing. ANGER is the main one now but I’m trying to keep it productive so I don’t turn it back on myself.

[Imperator Takoyaki @solacewrites]

If you’re an author of color pulling from Riptide for any reason, I offer to beta and/or sensitivity-read your story to the best of my ability. If you’re white AND had a disturbing or traumatizing experience at Riptide, I will extend the same offer.

[Imperator Takoyaki @solacewrites]

I can’t give full details & never will. But if you’re an author harmed/disturbed/traumatized during the editorial process, especially a person of color, I offer to speak to you privately with less details to offer support. That's all. This sucks & I'm sorry. That's all. (3/3)

[Imperator Takoyaki @solacewrites]

I haven't been active in Romancelandia for 3 years, but miss a lot of the people I used to talk to & hope you're all doing well. I need to drop something & then leave again: I support people who were harmed by Riptide. I'm sorry. I can't help but feel partly responsible (1/3)

[Imperator Takoyaki @solacewrites]

... because I was traumatized in ways I couldn’t even imagine there more than 5 years ago & I said NOTHING publicly. I just changed my pen name & ran & blocked & blocked. I felt like a rat in a trap that had to get out at any cost, even if it meant gnawing my arm off. (2/3)

Heartsick about the news from South Carolina and hoping terrorist doesn't kill more.

@JenniferRNN @Scorchingrevs what if you have an electric car?

Going on a social media hiatus for a bit for the sake of my mental equilibrium drop me a message or email if you need to get in touch

I need a Buddhist exorcism stat

[Imperator Takoyaki @solacewrites]

I heard that song about Rachel Dolezal that rhymes "vajayjay" with "Milky Way" and now my brain is infected by devils

[Imperator Takoyaki @solacewrites]

So I have absolutely zero sympathy for the person at the root of it. #racheldolezal will never have to pay for all the damage she's causing.

[Imperator Takoyaki @solacewrites]

People damaged in the fallout of this media circus will be 1) black people 2) transracial adoptees 3) multiracial PoC 4) transgender people

[Imperator Takoyaki @solacewrites]

This might be a losing linguistic battle but I feel sad a useful word is being hijacked to apply to weirdos in blackface like #racheldolezal

[Imperator Takoyaki @solacewrites]

Transracial has been an adoptee term for decades! It has no connection w/transgender issues unless a transracial adoptee is transgender.

[Imperator Takoyaki @solacewrites]

real transracial adoptees like #racheldolezal's siblings are often spoken over & exploited as racial bargain chips so let's not add to that!

[Imperator Takoyaki @solacewrites]

Apparently #racheldolezal's siblings ARE black transracial adoptees. She passed them off as her children, making the situation even worse.
