My book's themes are gay, anorexia, depression, gay, anxiety, and gay. It's kinda dark but also has humor. My MC's name is Seth. He used to do ballet and has had a constant struggle with his weight and has always felt different and isolated from his peers. At eighteen, he comes to terms with his sexuality: gay and demisexual.

Help me title my novel! :)))

@kat_i_am

okay I don't know ballet terms
but maybe make some pun (cause uh, puns are lgbtq+ culture) that's like stand out but some ballet term instead?
I'm sorry I'm so bad at titles

@payten_the_coffee_addict

actually i didnt think about that part. you could do New Life Choreography Jete into a new world ooooorrrrrr my personal favorite Demi Plie or Demisexual?. i know i already posted some but these were other ideas

@kat_i_am

I'M SORRY DEMI PLIE OR DEMISEXUAL THAT'S SO GOOD
THIS IS THE LGBTQ+ PUN CONTENT I NEED IN MY LIFE
THANK YOU PAYTEN

@kat_i_am

and uh, this one isn't as good imo, but it builds on that
demi plie, demi gay, or demisexual
cause gay and plie rhyme

@kat_i_am

yeah I would go with yours lol
but the op said gay in the themes like 3 times
so I put my rhyming skill to use lol

@quietquirks

What about something like 'Pirouette'? It's "an act of spinning on one foot, typically with the raised foot touching the knee of the supporting leg." SO basically a twirl on one leg. I thought it might be clever in reference to his downward spiraling mental health as well as a nod to his past as a dancer.

@quietquirks

Or in the romance aspect:
'It has been a treacherous dance, but as I feel myself stumble mid-pirouette, I don't come crashing down. Not completely. When I open my eyes, he's there beside me, and my chaotic spiral fades into something like hope.'

@kat_i_am

I really like Pirouette
(and if you really wanted you could use one of the punny ones as a subtitle lol)

@quietquirks

I totally could, but it's really more of a serious novel. I'll definitely keep those titles in mind for future reference though!
