Uh oh this became longer than I anticipated it to be.

It unsettles and upsets me deeply to know the fate of Ravachol. I don’t want it to be nuked, I don’t want people to die, especially the characters we adore. But it’s inevitable. The world is cruel, unjust, and seemingly irrational, and people survive in spite of it. To me, it’s like denying war or genocide. It’s uncomfortable and awful, but it happened and continues to happen nonetheless. Maybe it would be nice to envision a world where these things didn’t happen, but in the end, they still did, and trying to ignore that for a facade of better times ignores the struggles and lives lost of people who were real. The nuke getting dropped on Revachol is as much a component to the story of Harry and Kim’s lives as the events of the Hanged Man case. I don’t necessarily like that, but that’s not my decision to make. I was never going to be the one to press the red button regardless.

I tried something different, but I live in a world where I'm not as good as drawing or visualizing my ideas as I want to be so this is the result. I accidentally uploaded this to my alt twice, please pat me on the head and tell me I did a good job putting it on the correct blog.

dreamt that itch.io released their own special adaptable accessible super thin flexible silicon game controller called the Butterfly you could also fuck (they packaged each one with lube and toy cleaner) but there was no specific obvious way you were supposed to fuck it they encouraged everyone to find their own special unique way to fuck it. and they ran these ads for it that were different people from all walks of life saying what they do with it . sunburned rural dad who folds it hotdog style and jacks off into it. biracial masc lesbian with undercut who tribs with the joystick. young amputee in wheelchair who lets it vibrate on his lap while he works on his novel. etc. beautiful supermodel woman whos like "and me? i just game. hard." it ended with them all triumphantly saying into the camera "and thats how *I* fuck #MyButterfly"

Do you want to take over Harry Du Bois' body and mind and romance Kim Kitsuragi interactive-style?

If your answer's yes, my new fic A hundred ways to spend the night might be for you. You can choose what Harry does and says (up to a point, of course) and get one of the 38 possible endings. Or exhaust all options... Your choice!

It's rated E but not every route is explicit, so if you want there to be hot middle-aged men yaoi, choose wisely. Also... Watch out for the skill checks.

ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE

[ph-cutie]

evrart claire is just such a delicious mix of intricacies he's very sociable and charismatic while being a recluse with a very sheltered and controlled lifestyle + environment and he carries himself as a caricature of his position while being genuinely ruthless and he has an unflappable cheery demeanor surrounding a heart full of deep seated hatred

This post makes me believe you would appreciate the Evrart Claire Desktop Pet

Fanfiction Jargon Study

Hey y'all! So I know I haven't posted much lately BUT college has been crazy. And related to that, for one of my classes I'm doing a study on the relationship between time within the greater fandom community and understanding of fanfiction-related jargon. Below I have the link to the survey which will just have three multiple choice questions relating to your relationship to fandom and then a list of 15 terms to define if you know them. 

Please reblog this or otherwise share the survey link with anyone you think might be interested so I can have as large of a sample size as possible for this. The form will be open until April 24th. 

Thank you all so much! 

(and yes, I will post the data when I get it all collected for all you fellow nerds)

I LOVE DOING MY CIVIC DUTY AND FILLING OUT SURVEYS HELLLLL YEAH

[the-introducer]

The Kim and Harry creatures look like they would do cat things. For example, Harry doing the “cats are liquid” and filling a glass bowl/vase or Kim trying to catch the elusive laser dot.

they absolutely would

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

Thank you to all of my Disco Hell friends for their comments, suggestions, and help with this. I am very pleased with the result. Especially the wonderful and (I presume) beautiful @thepale-enthusiast who provided me with information about Slavic techno for the background.

Played the ZERO PARADES, ZA/UM’s next game, demo.

It tries to mimic Disco Elysium to an embarrassing degree, but since it lacks the decade long world building and the writers behind it, the mimicry falls flat. The prose is bland despite trying to emulate the style of DE; mostly because it’s not tied to the larger themes of the work itself. Disco Elysium was a holistic and hermeneutical experience.

ZERO PARADES is literally style without substance. It’s not bad. But it chases a quality and depth it has no way to reach.

The positive I can say is that this time you can see there’s a studio behind it and not like a dozen writers and a handful of artists and programmers. The area is larger, there’s more details, there’s more and more fluent animations. But the soul is absent.
