almost new year, definitely new url, new pinned post. hi my name is atticus (he/him or any neopronouns) and i'm a writer (& occasionally hobbyist artist or ttrpg designer). sometimes i write erotica, and more frequently i reblog nsfw jokes/art, so here's your heads-up for that!
you can find me on itch.io, archiveofourown, neocities, and bsky, all under the url or user 'paopuleaf'. if you enjoy petsites or like pixelated cats consider shooting me a friend request over on pixel cat's end! (if this is your first time hearing of it and you register, shoot me an ask and i'll send you some goodies.)
also, you should listen to interstitial, an actual play podcast now hosted on the feed of riley hopkins & their amazing friends!! you can find seasons four & five there - infinity, which i highly recommend, and investigations, which i'm sure i'd also highly recommend if i'd listened to it yet (oops). seasons one through three can be found on this feed & include my personal favorite of the three, proximity, for fans of feeling a shrimp emotion about the winner takes it all by abba. go listen to interstitial!! nyeow!!
if you're interested in what i'm working on going into 2026, take a look beneath the cut:
as always i am nearly-constantly writing about sauce smp, oft shortened to sauces, a minecraft smp turned into a vibrant original universe with some video game flavoring. most of my works for it aren't public, but if you see me talking about declan, eli, or shepherd, they're from this project, and some of my favorite guys i've ever made up.
spillways is a sprawling canon divergence au of cookie run: kingdom that i originally made up in late 2021 & ended up rebooting in full earlier this year. i'm currently knee-deep in a rewrite of working hard at follow through, which you can still read on ao3 if you don't mind some clunkier writing (it remains very high in my heart).
life's best mine canaries is a hack of marn s.' time to drop about clones trying to escape the factory they were created in. this one is nearly done mechanically and could drop next month or next year depending on when i finally get around to writing the nice text (& tables). i'm also haunted by several half-finished fan playbooks for interstitial 2e including a gm playbook called the narrator, for folks who want to play those guys from the stanley parable or slay the princess, or any other number of freaks
WORLDBENDER (title pending) is a ttrpg in extremely early stages of development, in the spirit of erotic text-based rpgs, primarily to be played-by-post.
at some point in 2026 i'm hoping to overhaul my website and start publishing original fiction, book/media reviews, and little wiki pages for a lot of my characters there!!
a treat for anyone who read this far, a selection of my favorite videos: tribute to cubepy | october dream | shinji dumbest girl alive amv | trigun shout amv | HEREINMYGARAGE.mwv | greg house rasputin
I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3
the worst writing crime you can ever commit in my opinion is watering down the dirty talk because you’re self-conscious that it sounds like it’s from a bad porno…..i cannot stress this enough……leave it alone. the moment you tell yourself he would not fucking say that you’re doomed. people will say almost anything if their dick is hard enough
fascinated by jeff the killer tbh. everyone in that creepypasta has generic white usamerican names (jeff, keith, barbara, billy, etc.) except for jeff the killer's doe eyed little brother liu. why is he liu. is liu chinese? it's okay if he's chinese. is jeff also chinese? has jeff the killer been chinese this whole time? am I a bad person?
