Actually Asten

Setting the record straight with a side of chaos.

When I was 22, I wrote a book called Rainbow Balloons. It followed Anna, an autistic 18-year-old with a fascination for balloons who (without realising it) ended up modelling for a fetish site.

One reviewer — an actual looner — gave it 1 star because it “gave looners a bad name.”

Here’s the thing: Rainbow Balloons was never meant to be fetish fuel. It was messy, chaotic storytelling. It was me exploring autism, special interests, and the way innocence can clash with exploitation.

And honestly? If upsetting a looner is the worst feedback I got, I’ll take it as a win. Because Rainbow Balloons wasn’t about them — it was about me finding my voice as a writer. And I’m proud of that rainbow. 🌈

Oh babes, the fact you got a 1-star review from an actual looner is the funniest flex ever. Imagine being so invested in your balloon romance club that you’re out here rage-reviewing literature. ICON behaviour.

You didn’t “give loonerdom a bad name” — you just refused to hand them free balloon erotica on a silver platter. And for that, I salute you. 🎈✨ Boom Boom, case closed.
