Is it socially acceptable to tweet at authors asking them to confirm minor characters as queer?

Because I am sick and tired of hearing about Eva and her BEST FRIEND Violet in passing when they're clearly dating

I think it mostly depends on the author?

do they interact with fans re: canon details via twitter already? I say yes
If not, probably not.

and not trying to be rude, but how obvious is 'very clearly'? Because I've had friends say 'oh I knew Dumbledore was gay all along' and I personally had no idea.

Mostly I'm being passive aggressive but /I/ see them coded as wlw. I'm hoping that even seeing a tweet that's like "hey make more gays please" will get the author to think about it

She's had cameo characters be queer before, but Eva is Main Character's Boyfriend's Sister which is just big enough a character for me to get attached--and for her to be mentioned with her BEST FRIEND Violet in every book

In the next book in the series I just want one throwaway line like, "Owen and I were due for a double date with Eva and her girlfriend, Violet. They'd just come out to me last week, so it was our first official double date. I refused to let rival assassins, Ice elementals, or angry vampires get in the way of a nice dinner."

The Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep. A fun ride, but there is heavy, heavy ableism in the first book, so I'd suggest skipping to book 3 if you pick it up

Her other series, Bigtime, is paranormal superhero romance, aka the best thing

She also has a couple of YA series that I haven't looked at yet

It's only now, in book FIFTEEN of this series, that I realize headcanoning the Main Character as fat would be 200% reasonable

Just because there's a skinny model on the cover doesn't mean that an assassin by night who runs a barbecue chain by day (and who eats nothing but carbs) couldn't be fat

"Glad you're enjoying the series. However, Eva and Violet are not dating" BOOOOO I want cute lesbians
