#go easy on me lmfao

[kithj]

compiled a list of some of my favorite text-based games & VNs that are specifically wlw:

another round - You play as Maddie, a woman in love with a woman named Agnes. Actually, she hates her. Actually, it's complicated. You definitely broke things off with her. And you don't regret it. At least once. Yes. At least once per day, you don't regret ending it with Agnes. Except tonight. You definitely regret it tonight.

such, such were the joys - It is the year 19xx in England. You are returning to the town of Grayling after your first year at university to meet your old school friends: Cicily Thomas, Fatima Khan, and Susheela Rajaram. As the only Indian girls at Grayling Towers, the four of you quickly became close friends, but you haven't seen each other in a year. You're not sure what has changed since then, but this is your chance to find out.

florence - Florence lies in bed, cold and still. You watch over her and wait.

perseids, or, all this will go on forever - Four trans girlfriends go on a road trip to a dark sky park, to see the perseid meteor shower. 

winter - an interactive fiction about sex, trans insecurity, and a girl with a skull for a face.

butterfly soup 1 & 2 (VN) - A visual novel about gay Asian girls playing baseball and falling in love.

birdland - At night 14-year-old Bridget Leaside dreams of fantastic lands full of strange bird people. By day she's a miserable anxious summer camper, trying very hard not to think about her feelings for the mysterious girl detective in Cabin 22. And when her dream life starts bleeding into reality, things are going to get weird for her in a whole bunch of ways...

a summer's end: hong kong 1986 (VN) - Follow the story of Michelle and Sam, and how their chance meeting evolves into a deeper romantic relationship. Set in vibrant Hong Kong in the year 1986, it is an original story about love, family, and culture.

one day hike - You go on a hike in a familiar wood.

a year of springs (VN) - experience the stories of haru, erika, and manami in A YEAR OF SPRINGS, a visual novel trilogy about a trio of friends navigating their feelings of love, connection, and just wanting to belong.

pageant - Your name is Qiuyi (Karen?) Zhao, and you’ve just been signed up by your parents for a beauty pageant. You’re not ready, not even close, but you don’t have a choice. But perhaps you can make the best of it.

new year's eve, 2019 (sequel to pageant) - You are Karen Zhao, a senior in college who is home for winter break, and seeing your old high school friends for the first time in years. You are not ready, not even close, but perhaps you could make the best of it.

the revenant's lament - Way out west, in the most lonesome of reaches, strange things are afoot. Cowboys around campfires tell ghost stories and tall tales, speak of impossible, supernatural things. They say the devil walks amongst men. They say he'll grant you impossible wishes at the cost of your eternal soul. They say he can bring dead men back to life.

venus meets venus - Two women meet in a bar. This is not a love story.

Hello hello everybody! It is time for another months progress, and I am so excited to share with you, all the things I have gotten my grimy little gremlin hands on. First off, what we are all here for; writing. I have been on fire, to be honest! Last month I churned through the last of the first batch of erotica stories (there's 6 (!!!) of them on my patreon already) and set them up for publishing along with two more unseen ones- I'm still going over the logistics of where to publish for the best revenue (I know this sounds boring, but I have to make an income somehow, and hopefully find another audience as a smut writer on other platforms 💀 I love writing it so why not!), and I am making headway, learning the ins and outs of self publishing. On patreon, there are also two Q&A's that are written in a bit more fictional manner, in character: a more fun way than just writing answers straight up and down. I have enjoyed those so much! There's a bunch of other stuff I haven't even mentioned- honestly, I have to say, I'm really proud of my output on Patreon even though I have been really anxious about writing full time. It's going great! I have to thank my new friends and support-network on discord; you make this all worth it. I cannot express how fun it is to shoot the shit with you in vc, gaming together, or seeing your shenanigans in gen or your in depth theories (thanks for the brainworms!) or memes or staring longingly at the fanfic channel or drooling over your art (ouro related or not) or... Gah. You are just amazing people, and I will waste no opportunity in saying so. Thank you forever and ever and ever an-

When it comes to OUROBOROS, I am happy to announce that the next chapter is damn near done! I was halted because of the discovery that dashingdon is no longer supported by it's creator, and have been working on the twine version ever since, earlier than I expected- it's tough work, but I am so excited to make this an actual game made entirely by myself, and not submitting to a company that quite frankly leaves a bitter aftertaste. It is taking long to make because I want to make it mobile compatible from the start, which there isn't a lot of resources for. But I'm doing my best! The plan is that I will be posting the next chapter for Patreons in the coming month, and then treat you to a full twine release here on tumblr. I haven't made any rewrites when porting the twine build, but I would like to do that too... so we will see; this plan is not set in stone. I will just have to see how it evolves over the next month. Yes, beta-readers is still on the schedule, just holding off a little while while I wrap my head around this new coding landscape.

Other than that, I have been working on the set aesthetic for ouro, which has been really hard, a lot harder than I expected. You all know I am no wizard when it comes to graphic design, but I want to at least develop a set palette and imagery and portraits that is cohesive to the story. The work is ongoing, and I don't have much to say about it- even though it is taking a lot of my brain power. I'm hoping I can come to some kind of set and in depth conclusion that I am happy with before the twine release, because I want the game to feel like a treat to open up and play; a world to get lost in.

That's it! If you want to see weekly and more in depth dev-logs, you know where to go. I hope you have an amazing day or night, and we will see each other soon. xx

I drew all of my historical AU Sebs!!!!

In order they are(with relevant links to lore info if you are curious!!): Napoleonic Hussar Seb(x), Renaissance Muse Seb(x) and Boy King/Emperor Seb(x)

Let me know which you like best!!!

#oh my fucking god this was truly the endurance race of drawing sessions #i just drew for four hours straight or so......FUN! #and it is now almost 5 am on a school night so pls wish me luck in school haha #basically this spawned from me seeing if i could sketch all 3 of my Sebs easily and then whoops 4 hours later they are finished! #i think now i can draw the hussar uniform with my eyes closed. it was so comforting to draw honestly ;;;; #this is actually the first time ive drawn boy king seb with colors!! so i think it turned out pretty well? #hey guys do you notice what all of the Sebs have in common...? they all have a gold motif...GOLDEN BOY CODED!!! #anyways i think the most developed of these AUs is boy king seb which is funny bcs its the one ive created most recently #but gaahhhhhh ive done so much research and im literally brainrotting over it constantly #now i need to draw fernando in his 3 AUs hahaha but drwing Seb is sooooo much more easy/comfy for me #did you guys also notice i have a fondness for a specific seb hairstyle? malaysia 2010 my truly beloved youve served me so well #i mentioned this already but like i dont get how drawing these kinds of clothing is far more preferable to me than drawing racesuits #well anyways i have so much fun researching into these different eras!! and then very fun to mix it with the drivers #im very surprised i was able to draw this. im not usually able to draw good chibi anatomy #but like seriously i think i was posessed by my thoughts of boy king seb and i just couldnt stop drawing #in didnt really have any mental roadblocks which is surprising #but then again these drawings are me mixing my two major interests atm so ofc it'll come to me easily and make me passionate!! #anyways time to go sleep pwease dont let this flop my hands literally are overheated from drawing LMFAO #catie.art. #sebastian vettel #f1 #formula 1 #f1 fanart #formula 1 art #formula 1 fanart #f1 art #boy king au #renaissance muse au #hussar au

not to talk like i am posting from the year 2017 but why does the Molduga battle theme in Breath of the Wild slap so hard

#me: lmfao this boss is so easy...... #the string instruments: (GOING FUCKING NUTS) #also i just got to the point of the game where i can easily fend off Guardians. i am a GOD....A GOD I SAY

[cosmic-kaden]

Me seeing Paterson and my inner monologue is like: sweet boi, my handsome poetic man~ my sunshine on the rainiest days, my reason to smile, my beautiful baby, light of my life, the most perfect man ever~ I love you so much!

Me seeing Flip and my inner monologue is like: Stand six feet away from me or I'm going to go fucking feral. /Smittenly God you're Infuriating /affectionate. Stupid handsome bastard- you're not a bastard, you're good.. whatever listen, I'll fucking bite you. This is dumb! You're dumb! Jerkbutt /Lovingly I fucking love you so god damn much- GODS embarassing! /lh

So if people think my ships are the same I can assure you....you're wrong :) lmao

#I DUNNO WHY FLIP SETS OFF MY FIGHT OR FLIGHT LMFAO probably because if I fully admitted and went full sweetheart on him I'd NEVER live it #down. we're the couple that banters thats light hearted and fun. I'm scared to be 'deep' with him IDK WE'RE WORKING ON IT LOL #When it comes to my ship with him I think we're both afraid to open up. I mean at first oir relationship was all surface layer then after #the whole 'dirty little secret' ordeal we realize we actually might be deeply in love with each other and we don't know how to bring it up #so we banter with each other and stuff. we'll one day admit to each other that we feel more than we let on...one day sosnsosjsod #my ship with him? YEAH ITS THAT DEEP lol #surpriseeeeeeee 🎉 #it comes in threes #with Paterson its sweet from the get go and we fall fast for eachother and talking to him is as easy as breathing because hes vulnerable #with me from the start and I can easily open up to him aodndodnoddjd SO YEAH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SHIPS LOL #chaos in the mundane

A warm-up portrait of Irina 💋

In case no one's aware yet, I love Irina's blonde eyelashes in the manga and I will draw them.

#to tell you all the truth #I began sketching her in advance the second I made that poll #because something tells me that she would win it from the get go #and i was not wrong in the slightest #Y'all are so easy LMFAO #assassination classroom #ansatsu kyoushitsu #assclass #irina jelavic #my art #digital art #my illustration #warm up portrait

[astromechs]

no really, but, like. rebelcaptain is The ship for me, because i honestly cannot think of another where i very equally love both characters involved to this extent and also project an equally insane amount onto literally both of them

#like i will always say i think it's weird if you don't at least LIKE both of the characters you're shipping together but usually i do have a #preference for a character i either feel like i understand a little bit better or relate to a little more #here it's just like no. hello jyn and cassian. you are literally both Blorbo to me #take my mental illnesses. you're both getting projected on now LMFAO #jyn's head was easier for me to immediately get into because a lot of what i was going through around the time r1 came out #but then i spent a lot more time with cassian and i don't find his head difficult to get into anymore at all #(also i vibe cassian a lot when i'm depressed lmfao) #anyway i think they're both equally easy for me now. i don't struggle with either in terms of voice or pov

[toxooz]

ALSOOOOOOO i Finally got to ride a skateboard at the skatepark with bf n friends for the first time ever yesterday and i feel so 👀👀👌👌👌💯💯💯 i managed to be able to balance and push around and stop without falling and it was fun tbh!! i can see getting muscle memory and improvement by doing it consistently 😤 i just hope this aint too short of a phase for everyone so i can hopefully get me own board soon 🙏

#i kno i said i had to take it easy but it was the 4th i had to go out n live a little shhhhh #i think i skate goofy but it might be bc im left handed so its just How Its Gunna Be lmfao hopefully i'll see #theyve been starting to go there recently and a few ppl are thinking abt getting more boards and skates and ofc i Gotta get one #its practically required of me to get one AHA #being able to use my book smarts research abt footing and pushing with the right foot/ stopping without a tragedy was rlly cool #i havent fell yet but im dreading it bc that shit will be inevitable lolol its just a matter of when #it definitely takes confidence and intent and Brother i am but a teacup chihuahua #BUT that is the beauty of progress and improvement and courage #even if its just a couple months fad thing for them it would still be nice to at least get the experience #and get a better idea of what the hell my Entire story is about lmfao #i hate that it took me this long but its what i gotta do better late than never #i think i aint got crippling anxiety for everything and then i realize i cant do like 85% of things #i want to do in life AHAaa #its just one of them things i Gotta have someone do it with me so this opportunity fell into my lap and im ESTATIC #edit looked it up again and i DO NOT skate goofy i skate regualr HELL YEAH

[prettyboykatsuki]

i have deep desire to write for demon slayer (and by write for it im specifically talking about zenitsu currently.) but the story is so deeply impacted by it's setting that its gonna take at least two weeks of research to do it any justice so the plans r Delayed

#aristotle.txt #writing for my hero = easy because im insane and know every inch of it #writing for anything else = impossible #i figured trying to find fic for it was going to feel like this in the first place #from my limited understanding the story takes place in the events directly after japans first industrial revolution #which means that the advent of technology is not only integral to the story telling but there's also like an unreal #amount of sociopolitical context for most of the major details #writing for my hero is easy because a society post tech is very easy to imagine. we live in it lol #demon slayer in particular takes place during the emergence of industry #what makes zenitsu an interesting character to me is that his narration is influenced directly by his class and proximity to modernity #he has a specific level of cynicism i can only describe as post industrial. whether that be his sense of cowardice over tanjiro/inosuke #or his attitude towards women. the way he behaves and how he critically analyzes certain kinds of behavior #like im currently watching the entertainment district arc and i think inosukes reaction vs zenitsus pretty much exactly covers it #where inosuke is overstimulated and tanjiro is reserved - zenitsu recognizes the district for what it is. that quality makes him stand out #a lot among them at least to me. i love hearing him talk sooo much lmfao. #anyways. all that to say. i want to write zenitsu but i need to do more reading to make it any good so . pray for me i suppose #zenitsu the embodiment of men used to chop trees and go to war fr

Watch me catch up with 4 semesters material

#biochemistry is pretty interesting but im just on Cell Biology 🧫 so i guess the hard stuff is further down the road #random #i have applied for study centre change to another college bcs the one i chose before didn't had biochem lab or faculty so like why was it an #option #but i applied for the change and it will be effective within a week im sure #until then i have to prepare ALL the damn assignments and ask to cover the lab work of all 4 sems its gonna be tough but so am i #i am out of assignment papers and do not have the guts to ask my father to get me some bcs 1. he's busy 2. the market is far away #3. why didnt i tell him to bring some papers from office on Friday #but I'll still try and ask him to see what he says #if i don't have assignment papers I'll just Study and understand concepts (hell it takes so much time but theyre easy and fun) #the reason its taking longer to understand stuff is because its the first time im hearing any of that #I'll keep random posting lmfao and subject you to the insanity i go thru

[moe-broey]

Something something about how Moe is both and neither due to its failure to perform or achieve "either" set of gendered expectations, regardless of its own personal feelings of gender identity (which is complex in and of itself), which results in it ultimately fitting in nowhere.

#moe tag #like moe's identity is exclusively masculine but its 'doing it wrong' on purpose. fag style. #and in this performance it still doesn't quite fit with the men. it's ultimately something else. #and ofc there is the failure to adhere to cis feminity/expectations. it's doing it wrong bc it was never capable of doing that correctly #even if it 'seemed' like it was. it wasn't. #i think this is why moe has become such a fascinating way for me to express and explore my own gender identity #where there are significant differences. moe is literally just more well-written LMFAOOOO #like what do you mean you're a feminine trans man. that you're exclusively a man when you look Like That. #moe just cuts to the chase by being genderqueer and therefore 'other' by default. #and the way that it is does very much feel like the way i experience my gender despite my own view of myself #even though i'm a man. i'll never be 'a man' in the same way the average joe is. hell i bet there are other transmen #who 'achieve' manhood in a way i cannot. which isn't really a judgement or an insecurity for me like more power to them #it's just me expressing objectively that no matter how easy it is for me to view myself the way i do #i'm always going to be subjected to the perception of others. some will get it. some won't. #and that's sort of what i mean about being 'othered' despite my own view of myself/ #despite moe's own view of itself. again it's just so much more easy and concise to explain w moe bc its identity #exists outside of the binary. while a huge core of mine is that it DOES exist in the binary. i'm just a faggot about it LMFAO

[lesbianlenas]

applying for an apartment was. tbh. the worst experience of my life….if i don’t get accepted for this apartment i will kms so aggressively the whole world will explode just from my forceful energy alone…..

#michelle speaks #mostly it was bad bc of my dad lmfao but i also it has been the thing i have been having my anxiety nervous breakdowns over for months #and when that happens i cope by avoiding so i end up in a cycle where it’s like avoid the problem to not stress -> stress bc problem isn’t #solved -> avoid problem to reduce stress etc etc. so having to deal w the thing that was making me stressed is not easy for me 😩 #like i physically could not get myself to finish the application yesterday bc i was so distressed lmfao. i did today tho just fine #if i am just able to get this apartment i will have one month of my life where i don’t have anything to stress abt at all. #wouldn’t that be beautiful for me ❤️ that hasn’t happened since like 2013 lmfao. #anyway i had to pay almost SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS just to apply. LMFAO. LIKE? are you INSANE?????? #that should quite honestly be illegal. how can you make someone pay that much money when u might not even give them the apartment? #like that is CRAZY. i hate living in this world so much……i did NOT let my dad see that bc he would have EXPLODED lmfaooooo #so yeah landlords are evil but i have to go to law school so. LIFE! #at the VERY least that money should come out of ur first month of rent if u get a lease. like? just crazy fr……

[yellowocaballero]

hi I just read the most recent chapter of no name on the bullet and i can't stop screaming about it, i need everyone i know to read your fic immediately so i can scream at them about how fucking good it is i CAN'T hnnnghghfkskshfhdvdvajak

THANK YOU. It's definitely a #screaming chapter. I know this because I was screaming while writing it. I've said this ten times but it was so hard to write. I had no idea writing a character THAT manipulative was THAT hard.

It was very much intended to be a wham chapter too. The persistent question throughout the story is "so how much does Vash suck anyway" and I think that was the chapter that put the final nail in the coffin of "oh, he's fucking awful." There's still some questions - it was made clear that Vash is also highly highly not in touch with reality at this point, and you have to wonder if he'd make these decisions if he wasn't so out of it - but there's really no excuse for being that cruel to Knives. He's such a Karen. Master of the white woman tears. Victim complex king. He's perfectly aware that Knives' only weak point is his own people, are the people he sees as 'weak' and that he's in charge of protecting - and that so long as Vash is 'weak, dependent, little brother, sick, not in control of himself, victim' then Knives is pretty much incapable of viewing him as malicious or 'against' Knives.

While he's in the room. The minute he leaves the room Knives is capable of remembering the atrocities. The way he thinks when Vash is in the room vs when he's out of the room is night and day, to the point where it's disconcerting. He is SUCH a sucker for Vash's bullshit, and no matter what Knives objectively knows and believes, Vash is really talented at twisting it around and confusing him. Still, he's had some character development, and Knives is emotionally independent enough that he can stick to his guns - that you are NOT fooling him AGAIN with that genocide stuff! Not a second time, Vash!

Super fun. It's not every day you get to write a villain who's a villain because he is just THAT great at the white woman tears. I'm happy that people still recognize him as Vash, since that was very much the goal - and it's a hard fucking goal when he's standing there being cruel to his brother and advocating for genocide.

#my writing #my asks #there's a point where characters 'click' for the writer and they become very easy to write #when you actually nail down their characterization or their frameworks #but that moment never came for Vash. he was a struggle the whole way #my poor friends had to deal with hours of me trying to figure him out #before finally going 'eh fuck it we ball' #and THEN i could do it lmfao #writing advice of the day: dont overthink it. just ball.

Happy four year adoptiversary to my handsome little boy Montgomery Montgomery Python!!!

Got him august 11th 2019 in lieu of my 16th birthday three days later. I’m turning 20 now. I cannot BELIEVE I’ve had this stupid little rascal for four entire years it does NOT feel like it. Hobbies include hiding in my computer, staring at nothing, and trying to escape his glass prison in the dark. I love him

#Named after montgomery x2 from a series of unfortunate events. And ALSO the Monty python pun #I just call him Monty that’s his actual name but his full name is both Montgomery’s + python + our actual last name for anyone who knows us #But on here? Python is his last name. Not doxxing us via the snake lmfao #He’s so stupid this asshole escaped one time and we literally found him the next morning #Yknow how most reptiles go missing for months if they escape. If they’re ever even found #ONE. NIGHT. #We heard a horrible THUD the next morning and came in on him laying on the floor like he’d fallen off the curtains #Actual fucking idiot boy I love him so much #Actually do not know his gender. He’s either had some weird urates or he’s actually a girl #So. Easy solution my snake is genderfluid just like me. Fuck it #BUT. He’s rather small for being four whole years old so he’s either a wimpy female or average male with weird slug-like piss #(Slugs being. Nonfertilized eggs) #3 is their ‘adult’ age for the record but they grow literally forever just extremely slowly #The first three years are BIG growth. He went from 10 inches to 3 feet in like under two years #Then they slow down #For anyone curious Hes in a 75 gallon tank. Prettymuch the biggest thing you can get commercially before you say #‘Fuck it!’ And just build your own. Which was the plan until we got lucky on craigslist #If he ever can’t stretch all the way tho. We’ll HAVE to build him another one. I want that man cozy damn it #Love this stupid fucking snake #ball python #snake #reptile #python #classic ball python #normal ball python
