Masterpost of tWLS write-ups.
All social write-ups collected in one handy dandy place, just for you.
What happens on the socials, does not necessarily need to stay there. Oftentimes, the art curated on the White Lily Society’s pages merits further investigation or editorial comments. This is where “write-ups” come in. Instead of a shorter caption, these pieces combine longer writing (ie. >2 paragraphs) with more research to form a perfect little nugget of bite-sized esoteric information, steaming hot.
This page serves as a masterlist or masterpost of all these write-ups for easy indexation, because we do understand that scrolling all the way back is not always desirable.
Note: these write-ups are sorted in reverse chronological order, newest first. If you are looking for more extensive writings, check out the official White Lily Society archive for collected long-form research papers, articles, and databases to further satiate your curiosity.
