[OOC:] I think I’m done with this account for a while...
I’m sorry... The MLP fandom is getting to be too much for me. My anxiety has been spiking really badly whenever I go into fandom spaces for years now. I’ve been really struggling to feel safe and comfortable around the MLP Fandom due to how... adult they can be. I can’t even look at fanart anymore without feeling uncomfortable because of how often fan artists tend to draw explicit adult content. I understand it pays the bills, and I don’t judge them for doing it, but it makes me feel super gross and uncomfortable to be around (I’ve tried to get used to the fandom being like this, but I don’t think I can control my anxiety and paranoia anymore unfortunately).
So because of all that, I think I’m going to leave for a while. I’m still looking into getting therapy and I may have to experiment more with my anxiety meds, but continuing to be in fandom spaces is becoming too taxing for me to continue. The paranoia of looking at fanart and fandom users and figuring out if they’re safe or not is too much for me to handle. Maybe someday I’ll be back if I can get my mental state under control, but for now this is goodbye.
I’m sorry again. Hopefully next time I see you all, I will be in a better state of mind. Izzy loves you, and don’t forget to drink water. <3

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -
I am fine with "the audience" -
downloading my fics
printing my fics
copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics
sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3
making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss
doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc
I am not fine with "the audience"
doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity
feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever
Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.
Enjoy the fandom things.

very very hard to admit that, but I've been kinda selfish this past month. i want so much to be myself that i forget im a daughter too. i suffer but my father does too, and is so easy to forget and set this aside but then it hits me and i feel so sad for the person i was this year. growing up is so cruel. is so confusing. i don't know what to do anymore. i want to live my life but i can't leave my father but i don't know how i could conciliate both things.
i wish i haven't forgot that my dad is just as human as me, and while i am so open about my feelings he is not.

니가 울던 날 안아주지 못했던 거
괜히 짜증 부리고 화냈던 거
바쁘단 핑계로 올해도
너의 생일 제대로 챙겨주지 못한 거
가끔 힘들단 너의 맘 몰라줬던 거
내가 더 힘들다며 피했던 거
심하게 다투던 날이면
헤어져 말했던 거 내가 다 미안해
어딨니 이 노래 듣고 있다면
내게 연락해 다시 시작하자
울지 말고 바보야 지금 나 달려갈게
용서해줘 내가 다 미안해
1년 되던 날 그 흔한 꽃 한 송이와
고맙다는 말 한번 못했던 거
니가 많이 아플 때에도 모르고
내가 그래 내가 다 미안해
어딨니 이 노래 듣고 있다면
내게 연락해 다시 시작하자
울지 말고 바보야 지금 나 달려갈게
용서해줘 내가 다 미안해
이별한 줄도 모르고 하루면 널 찾을 거면서
너 역시 그럴 거라고 나 없인 안될 거라고
미련하게도 믿었었어
잘할게 사랑할 자격 없지만
너의 곁에서 같이 울어줄게
어딜가도 그립다 니가 많이 그립다
우리 정말 헤어진 거니
어딨니 이 노래 듣고 있다면
내게 연락해 다시 시작하자
울지 말고 바보야 지금 나 달려갈게
용서해줘 내가 다 미안해
누구보다 사랑할 텐데

💖 Day 3.5 is now available! 💖
For the last couple of months, only Server Boosters had access to the 3.5 update... Buuuuut now it's available for everyone to play in the 14DWY Discord — and soon itch.io once I'm happy with the QA and state of the game — so please don't feel pressured to join unless you want to!!
The full devlog + even more screenshots are under the cut ^^
What's been added to the 3.5 version?
📺 Streamer Mode!
I've been told that it's difficult to stream and monetise age-restricted videos on YouTube and Twitch, so I added an option to remove the sexual content and strong language used in the demo.
Now y'all can invite Ren into your bed for cuddles without putting your streamer career on the line /silly /lh
This won't affect the 18+ rating or dark themes/elements of the game, however! Although Streamer Mode will prevent you from seeing any "gruesome" CGs in the future, most of the core elements of the game will still be tied to the choices and decisions you make. So you won't miss out on the overall experience by using streamer mode!!
⚙️ Custom Pronouns!
It only took me one entire year to get around to it, but you can finally choose your own preferred pronouns (or use a set of pronouns instead)... At the cost of being able to change them mid-game ^^;
Since the original pronoun screen wouldn't update until a new scene was displayed, I temporarily disabled the feature. But once I find a workaround, I'll bring it back!
💗 Choose how others perceive you!
You can now choose how the cast and narration perceive you! Originally, the narration was kept strictly gender-neutral (outside of pronouns and genitalia picked by the player), but this will soon change in future updates.
For more clarity: you don't get to choose the words specifically, but you can choose between masculine, feminine, and androgynous terms!
📋 Separate top and bottom genitalia!
You can now choose your tatas and pps separately! >:3
Alongside that, you can also choose your preferred body type!
I removed the "both" genitalia option because a few players still assumed it was an obscure version of "intersex". That wasn't my intention and I don't want to mislead anyone, so I took it out for now ^^;
I also didn't want to include a screenshot of the new genitalia choices in action (because it's NSFW), so y'all get the same character menu screen for the nth time instead lmao
📱 Relationship Screen Overhaul!
You can now change your own status for more immersion, and long-term Server Boosters will eventually be able to submit and use their own icon within the game as well!
Stalking finding your friends has now become easier by using "Buddy Maps"; a new app that allows you to see the location of all the cast members!
I want to offer players more incentive to check the relationship screen since they tend to miss the status updates, so hopefully this might help ;v;
It also says it "updates every few hours" so folks don't go overboard and check every 5 seconds to see where Ren is gdsghf (also keep in mind that he's a hacker lol)
🖤 Additional Scenes Update!
Day 2 received a brand new CG!!!!! Originally, I planned on only adding a few CGs sporadically throughout the game, but it didn't feel right to leave Day 2 so... empty... so I added a brand new CG to (hopefully) make things feel more balanced and natural!
If you decline Teo's offer on Day 3, Leon will now call and try to convince you to reconsider. However, players are still allowed to decline, and if they do, they'll reach a dead end.
After listening to feedback on itch, I changed some of the dialogue during Days 1-3 to make it seem more consistent! They're only small changes though, so it's honestly not worth looking for sdgjssga
🎶 Updated BGM and SFX!
I wanted to try out a different style of music to see if it fits the vibe of 14DWY more! The BGM features more acoustics to suit the "beachy" theme of Corland Bay, though I made a conscious effort to include piano elements as well to stay true to the original!!
I figured it'd be better to give players a live example before I make a poll (to see if they prefer the change or not) and publish it to Itch.
Some new SFX have also been added, though it's very minimal and honestly not that noticeable.
How to download and play the update?
(warning: clicking on the following links will open Discord!!)
To download the Day 3.5 update, simply join the 14DWY Discord server, verify your age, and visit the "14dwy-updates" channel!
Alternatively, you can also wait until the update is publicly released on Itch to play it as well!! (It normally gets released shortly after a round of QA testing/getting feedback from the server, though I may release it earlier if I feel like it hehe ^^)
Enjoy!!
