giggling a little at how for years the twins relationship is this complicated web of what it means to be brothers. and then Neil pulls up and he and Aaron's relationship immediately encompasses some of the finer aspects of genuine sibling behavior.

#aaron seems like he had such particular expectations over what having a brother would be like #and obviously Andrew didn't fulfill them but he also didn't really offer anything brotherly in any other ways #Neil didn't fulfill any of Aaron's earlier expectations either. but he did pull up and naturally played so many brother moves #and i don't think either of them would ever recognize that but I kinda hope one of the others points it out to them at some point #mine aftg

also a niche thing that's on my mind but why does a game where you play as a detective whose agency regularly works together with the police feel less like copaganda than the sonic movies. like why does a funny digimon game where you Play As A Detective criticize the police more than a movie about a furry who says acab

#soda offers you a can #i read a post abt the copaganda in the movies in the morning and it's living in my brain now #and while i really don't have the brain cells to pick apart digimon cyber sleuth and it's portrayal of the police at this time #this game still like. regularly points out instances of the police just dropping cases and refusing to investigate shit further- #-when it's about bringing a mega corporation doing ethically dubious things to justice #like i don't think that's very ground breaking or anything. but compared to the way the Sonic The Hedgehog movies treat cops? #it's kind of wild to me idk

hiiii! have you considered releasing tradewinds as a single purchase through a site like gumroad?

Hi anon!

So the reason Tradewinds was shelved and not published like 8 years ago, is because I couldn't find an Aboriginal sensitivity reader willing to read m/m with disturbing themes. I had sensitivity readers for the other side of things (like Matan and his heritage), but I kept either not finding anyone, or the one person I found took my $200 USD deposit and vanished and never spoke to me / responded to any of my emails.

As a result, I was uncomfortable distributing it anywhere broadly, even though I was relatively confident the novel isn't offensive, because I just don't know 100%.

I am a lot more confident releasing it via subscription as an exclusive novel, because the people who pay for subscription are often folks who are a) already used to my style of writing and b) generally know what to expect from me, vs. cold audiences who don't. I'm kind of kicking myself that I didn't realise that Tradewinds would make a great exclusive/paywalled release for subscription, because it means it's only ever going to find a very narrow bandwidth of readers.

Basically if I could release it for single purchase - as basically an ebook - I would have released it like 8 years ago, anon. And the reason I have actually released it this specific way is down to the fact that I'm just not really confident offering it for broader distribution.

That might change one day, if I happen to stumble across a sensitivity reader who is okay with my style of writing, who is reputable + has references (i.e. so I know I won't lose a fair chunk of money in the process, because that burned me pretty badly, not gonna lie). But until then, having Tradewinds be limited is the only way I'm comfortable releasing it at all.

Folks are more than welcome to sign up for one month, download the book (and read any other early access they want) and then leave. They can even just put 'I only wanted one thing and now I have it' in the exit survey so I know what they were there for if they want. Then it's still a single purchase (with some early access extras), and they still access the downloadable file. :)

#asks and answers #tradewinds #merchantverse #tradewinds was shelved not because i think it's a bad book #but because i wasn't comfortable going to broad distribution without a very specific kind of sensitivity reader #it was actually meant to be the series i started publishing with #long before perth shifters existed #and then i realised that through writing a highly diverse cast #i might have actually really hurt the future of the series #and had to shelve the whole thing and all the worldbuilding #i really don't regret tradewinds at all #i like the book and i love the characters #but yeah it was complicated #what i thought would be an 'easy' problem to solve was really difficult in part because #'sensitivity readers' is a very USA concept and certainly was back then #and a lot of the folks i enquired with who did offer sensitivity reading on Aboriginal Australian matters #didn't read m/m or didn't want to read anything problematic / with any disturbing themes #which i can understand #but literally reduced my pool to '0 plus that one person who took $200 USD from me at a time when i had to skip medical appts because of it #i'm sure it would be better now #but i'm also happy to offer a novel to folks who sign up to the patreon / ream account #since that is my main and primary income

Do you have any specific OC you’d like me to draw? I wanna return the favor of you drawing Phoenix :D

Hmmm, most of my major ocs need remakes of their references (which I need to finish before artfight whoops) but maybe this one? A scary seawing cryptid lady

Also this is like a really roundabout art trade now and that's really neat ο(=•ω＜=)ρ

#I really need to work on those refs I'm literally doing anything but that #I spent an hour looking for a charcater I could offer here but yikes even my main ocs have old refs and that's bad #also please please please don't feel pressured to do this or anything #I mostly did the drawing for fun + I have no control over what my brain decides to draw and that was the topic of the week for me I think #but nonetheless I'm honored

Yearning (noun): a strong feeling of wishing for something, especially something that you cannot have or get easily.

Sometimes I think about how long some of you all have been following me and I'm like wow, ya'll really like watching this clown.

#i know so many of ya'll by icon especially since I'm a visiual learner #I'm honestly very lucky to have attracted so many nice and cool and interesting as hell folks #i don't wanna sound like cliché or anything just like #even if I can't respond every the time know that I do really appreciate you all taking the time to be kind to me and show me things #and ask me stuff like #tumblrs always been my safe spece online #especially since this blog was made cause I had to avoid a stalker #and it's grown into this place where like #i love hearing what you guy have to say and show me things #I live alone and work a lot (and have been on tumblr more due to a lot of irl drama I can't get into yet) #and if any of ya'll are like gone for a while I will be like 'I hope ___ is doing ok' cause I do notice ;-; #so many of ya'll have been just so willing to be kind to me or let me vent to you privately or educate me about stuff #led me in the right direction and offer help #like the kindness goes both ways and I think that's really special #i might remove this later cause I get shy sharing but ahhhhhh #thank you all so so so much #it's been a rough as week #and a rough few years #so I'm just really thankful to you all ;;;;;;

i actually do feel like ive been doing slightly better at this lately though.. like replying to peoples posts and trying to initiate conversations and dms and stuff... so i am winning a bit

#🎇 #and i mean. i actually do know how to socialise. i am fine at it #i just experience the horrors constantly & dont like to burden people with my existence when its unwanted & say things uninvited & etc #i do want more people in my life im comfortable with so i dont feel these things talking to people all the time but man #ig it's hard because i don't blame people for not being that interested in talking to me when i don't make it easy to talk to me #and i struggle so much with like. when i bring up a topic and they dont really show interest & im like o. ok. and then i just never want to #bring up anything because it keeps happening and it's easier to just talk about things they like #but then that makes me boring and hard to talk to because i dont offer anything to the conversation but its because i feel like my existenc #is pointless to the conversations we have because nothing i say going to get a response so we may as well just talk about what u want #idk. i know its a personal problem of mine and i should be fine just saying whatever i want etc and i might be misinterpreting the signs #because im hypersensitive to it after the shit ive been through #but its something im conscious of at least and i do try to continue to bring things up and offer things to talk about and stuff anyway #ive been trying to do it more lately. and starting conversations even if i feel unwanted because i know its likely just me being #overly sensitive . and continuing to reply to peoples post even if they never reply because im probably oversensitive about that too. etc #i want to make friends arg

Man, opening Twitter and the first thing I see Is Mephistopheles discourse again... We are really going to do this everytime Mephisto appears??

#post0400 #“He's racist!” 1.- Angel/Demon/Human species aren't comparable to human races. it would be specism if anything #2.- I have some bad news about Luke. Belphegor. Solomon. Lucifer in S1... most of the cast. really... #There is no character in this work who hasn't had at least some type of prejudice against other species. justified or not #and most of the things Mephistopheles said were true. even if his anger at Lucifer is misplaced #Diavolo favors a lot of Lucifer and his brothers.. wich has been a problem since Beel almost destroyed the castle #is this Lucifer fault? not really. that's why I said Mephisto anger is misplaced. but I get where he's coming from #He was raised to protect Diavolo. of course he isn't going to question him #all he knows is that one day he was Diavolo right hand and the other day his bestie left him for the fallen angels #Diavolo is always right. no? then the problem must be the newcomers. they must be influencing him in some way #I don't dislike Lucifer or Lucifer stans but also dislike how there's always a nuanced reason on why Lucifer is being an asshole but #they don't offer the same benefit to other characters #(mostly Mephisto or Dia or Mammon... uhm...?)

hi. i hate to make one of these again, but my job just really isn't giving me enough hours no matter what i do, and i have a lot of debt and keep having to take ubers to work because of my parents' work schedules. i need help paying bills first and foremost, paying off debts + getting my cat to a vet secondly, and thirdly... saving up to get out of my abusive home environment. again.

anything helps, literally anything. i'm a physically disabled mixed 2s lesbian, and i'm so tired of being stuck in this hole.

pp is here, other options can be gotten from dms or asks. please. even a reblog, i can offer writing or editing or anything in that vein.

#bonny.txt #i have roughly 1.2k in debt from just trying to survive before #i'm also really sick rn so i can do even less than before in terms of picking up doubles but there's barely anything even offered rn #i've applied to seasonal jobs i'm desperate #i also don't want to go into depth about my cat but she's been displaying worrying behaviors and i need to get her checked out but #i am so broke all the time. i can barely afford food to eat

pharmacies should automatically give you (or at the very least offer) naloxone any time you get an opioid prescription

#and that naloxone should be free #i already keep naloxone in the house but neither the pharmacy or the doctor mentioned it???? which is wild to me #all this shit about controlled substances and “don't get addicted!” but NOTHING about naloxone?????? #blows my mind #ur just expecting people to rawdog opioids possibly for the first time in their life post surgery & u offer no harm reduction whatsoever 😳 #i don't think this is an individual failing idk how common this knowledge is this is definitely systemic #they didn't teach it to us even working in healthcare on surgery recovery wards????? #i remember sitting in class listening about opioids and when it got to the end of the lecture the prof still hadn't said #anything about naloxone i asked them about it and they said “what?” and i was like 😟 uhhhhhh #yk #the life saving overdose reversing medication 😭 #and everyone in the class just looked at me n prof was like “why do u know that” and i was like “why wouldn't u teach about it” #WILD #we didnt even have any not locked in med stations and the nurses on these rehab wards sucked #so i always kept at least a one in my scrub pockets #anyway naloxone is really fucking important!!!!!! u can usually find some for free in ur county #i used to have a whole thing abkht where to get free naloxone and needles and stuff i need to find that #harm reduction #naloxone #opioids

i don't think sonic translates particularly well into open world environments so it probably would be for the best if future games didn't go the same route as frontiers HOWEVER. they should return to the formula of huge hub worlds to give us a space to run around and goof off in like in frontiers. i want them to take sa1 06 and unleashed and expand on what they did. maybe make seamless transitions from hub world into stage environments who knows!!

#soda offers you a can #idk open worlds are about exploration and sonic games aren't really exploration games bc you're supposed to go fast yeacool #and frontiers i think has trouble rewarding the player for exploration in meaningful ways? #you're given so many resources so easily in the base game that you kinda don't need to explore that much unless you go for completion #the dlc handles it a bit better by making skill points easier to get through exploration and doing the platforming challenges #and making some map expansions only accessible that way #and like even when you find cool environmental storytelling it's not always acknowledged in the moment #which makes it easy to miss cool lore implications at least for me #but fucking around in big spaces is fun! and i think that would translate well into hub worlds #bc those don't need to be huge platforming and speed experiences. like they can have those but they're optional you know? #idk im spitballing and im not a gamedev or anything i don't know things but something like this could be rly cool going forward?

yoooo ok that last job turning out to be bullshit might actually be a blessing in disguise because I just landed an interview for an after school theater teacher gig that pays way better~ I went to theater camp every year from ages 12 to 17 and always loved the idea of being a counselor for a program like that, and did backstage / dramaturg work for a play at UCSB back in pre-pandemic 2020 so I might actually have a shot at this. Wish me luck!

#so far I have a 100% rate of getting the job offer after interviews #ended up turning down the offer I got yesterday as it was a bit too high stakes for me at this point in my life #I take working with kids--especially kids with intellectual disabilities--super seriously #and I just don't think I'm ready to be a para-educator especially since that's not exactly the career path I want to go down in the long ru #but yeah for whatever reason I always do really good with interviews #my resume isn't anything special but when I get a chance to turn on the rizz I usually get the gig #perks of being an awkward neurodivergent kid who had no concept of social cues is that I had to learn it all from scratch #so I'm actually pretty good at being very friendly and personable and telling potential employers what they want to hear #without coming across as phony #partially because I do genuinely like chatting with people #personal
