Pour Some Sugar On Me

A fan/imagines blog for Rinmaru's Ascension games! Please check the FAQ/Rules before messaging!

The End.

Hi guys! Mod Puddin here.

It has been ... damn, it’s been a while. I haven’t touched this blog for quite a while for multiple reasons, not the least of them being the recent news. I’m moving into my senior year of highschool soon, and with this + five other blogs, I just don’t have the mettle to maintain our Sanctuary of Hot Elf anymore. It’s been a long, wonderful journey here with Ascension, but I feel it’s appropriate to let this blog go with grace.

I want to note; I DEFINITELY plan to stay engaged in the Ascension fandom, as you are all absolutely delightful and I’ve had so much fun writing for you guys (sporadic as it may have been), so for further ascension content, I will still be posting on my art blog, @cottonandpennies regularly! (It’s also a self-insert blog, so there’ll be a fair amount of Hot Elf there too, don’t worry.) I’ve had an incredible time making content for you guys while it lasted, and I’ll be archiving and saving this url just in case by some miracle the games do return. We were a small, close-knit fandom anyway, and I want to thank everyone who sent in submissions or request; you made my day so many times over.

In the meantime, I hope you all have wonderful lives, and that you find your share of content, no matter how obscure your fandom may be. 

Go enjoy Cardinal Cross, and all of Rinmaru’s other fantastic games! You’ve been a great audience.

This is Mod Puddin, signing off for the last time. Have a good one, lads.

<3

I GOT INVITED TO AN OC SERVER AND MADE MY ASCENSION CHARACTER

Ascension

I’ve been getting lots of messages lately regarding Ascensions. As you may have noticed, I’ve deleted them from Impqueen and rinmarugames.

I actually wasn’t going to explain why I made that call, but many of you have been asking in a very nice way, and an explanation is the least I can do for you.

Some of you.

I’ll try to keep it short and drama free.

Last week I received a few messages of a kind that I normally ignore. And I would ignore this one too, but it made me realise how often I was getting messages/mails of the same kind regarding only and only Ascension.

And I’m not the kind to get upset over threats, or aggressive language. It makes me laugh at best, ignore at worst. But this time I realised something I actually never thought about before.

That Ascension has a very very young audience.

When I made the first game, I was 24, and no wonder some of you grew up with me. But that’s, when you look at the big picture, a very small number of people.

The rest is at an age where if they don’t get their romantic fantasies sated on a digital platform, get aggressive. Not just towards me, but to everything else I make.

I wish it was just me. It would make things so much easier.

But it’s towards my work, and it makes it impossible for me to focus on two different audiences at the same time, because one attacks the other for not being “suited” to them. And it’s very limiting for me.

One side is forcing me to work only for them, whether I enjoy it or not.

I wasn’t really asking for much, just enough freedom to do what I wanted to do, while making you what you wanted to get.

Two different game types for different ages.

But now I’m forced to pick a side, and please please forgive me the small amount of supportive and lovely and beautiful people, I have to take my side on this.

So, I am dropping all past and future Ascension games.

I am no longer working on side projects for younger audiences. At least for a long long while, because I am not equipped with enough maturity to deal with something like this at the moment.

I am also thinking about minimizing romance, because as many benefits as it has, it brings that much if not more problems.

I want to make games, not accidentally become a digital pimp.

I cannot deal with sexually frustrated preteen rage messages spamming my inbox and e-mail every time I work on something slightly different.

I am turning off asks for the time being, and will only be using tumblr strictly as an update platform. I need to focus on my work, and do my best to complete it the best way I can.

Again, I am so sorry to every one who has been nothing but supportive to me all this time.

But I can’t make Ascension, or any game like Ascension anymore.

I am still in the middle of exploring genres and themes that make me happy to work on. Not one game will be similar to the other, at least for a little while, and I can’t push myself down fearing your disappointment.

Disappointments will always be there, one way or another. But it’s as disappointing to me, as it is to you.

I’m sorry.

will this blog be staying up now that ascension is gone?

Hi! This is a bit of a tough question for multiple reasons, and if you wanted just a yes or no answer, I can give you a ‘probably/maybe but we might undergo some changes’.

If you want more in-depth, have a peek under the cut.

In light of recent events, and the general pattern of maintenance here, it is most likely that this blog will either change focus, or simply become inactive. You may have noticed that a lot of the posts on this blog, especially recent ones, are reblogs are notes reminding people that our ask-box is open!

This is a submission/request-based blog, and only once have we ever gotten a submission or request. This blog is in very low demand, and it’s difficult churning out content for seemingly no audience at all. Only one mod really signs into this blog, or produces content for it.

Not only that, but in light of Rin’s recent troubles with the fandom, it just … doesn’t feel respectful? Producing what is largely romance-based content for Rin’s games when she’s been so beleaguered BECAUSE certain people in the fandom couldn’t be mature and leave her room to work feels a little weird to me. I have no problem producing self-insert content on the down-low, but it’s really not fun unless everyone is having fun; do you understand?

We have to decide what to do with this blog, because I put a LOT of work into some projects I had planned for you guys based around Rin’s games. We might go off hiatus someday and return with all your wonderful Elf Smoochin’ Adventures (Feat. Tillie; I was delighted when I noticed that a lot of people in the fandom love her as much as I do) if the demand for it rises.

In the meantime, in respect to Rin and her work, we won’t be posting anything new. We here at doregon-sugar have the highest hopes that someday she may bring it back, but ultimately?

It’s her work. Her choice.

We are absolutely disappointed in any one of you who might have been in Rin’s inbox threatening and harassing her for more content when she states multiple times that she would not be able to provide it. PLEASE do not try to push Rin to bring it back, or to even put the games back up in the meantime.

We’ll keep you posted if we can do anything for you in the meantime.

being in a fandom comprised of 12 people and a bag of corn chips is great because whenever anyone posts anything all 11 of your pals are like

[sketcholivia]

Wow!  It’s been a while since I posted anything, and I feel like I owe you all an explanation!  In September, I got my first studio job and moved across the country, so since then my life has been insanely busy!  Things are finally starting to settle down enough that I have time to finish the personal work I start, so expect to see more from me from here on, and thanks to everyone who stuck with me!  You guys are awesome.

Now let’s talk about Dwarf women.  Recently I decided to take on the task of designing dwarf women who didn’t just feel like little humans, who could be considered attractive, and who also have beards-  because Dwarf women really really should have beards, even if it’s just a little.  Over the course of designing them I considered that probably the main reason Dwarf women are so rarely portrayed with beards is that in our society, beards are a sign of masculinity and being women, they are often still drawn to appeal to our society’s sensibilities.  But Dwarves in fantasy are an entirely separate race from humans with their own styles and sensibilities and saying that their females shouldn’t have beards because it doesn’t appeal to humans is kind of like saying a bird shouldn’t have a beak because it doesn’t appeal to cats.  That all led me down the rabbit hole of thinking about what would likely actually be considered attractive in a Dwarven society– well-maintained beards; Solid, muscled bodies; dainty hands suited to detailed crafting, etc.-  all in all, it was a pretty fun and challenging project!

i talk a lot of shit for someone who can’t choose rude dialogue options in games because i’m scared of hurting a characters feelings

[world-class-dwarven-alchemist]

Tbh I’m holding out until the full release cause I want to play it all at once, but I most likely will be talking about Cardinal Cross for a time once that happens.

[doregon-sugararchived658]

BOI I JUST DISCOVERED YOUR BLOG and lemme tell you, as soon as i have time i‘m gonna flood you with requests (if that‘s okay) lmao

OH YES PLEASE, WE LOVE REQUESTS.

Welcome to the party! May we interest you in a little sugar today? ;3c

[rinscension]

Lana Brice? More like the autonomous sim who keeps making spaghetti and burning the house down

@deep-sea-prince

It is out! The early access is available on steam, and so is the demo! I’m broke AF so I have to wait a while to get it (or see if I can get it through a friend) but I am JAZZED.

[doregon-sugararchived658]

How would you all feel if the mods began accepting Cardinal Cross imagines in the meantime while we wait for ETD to come out? We’ve had a bit of a dry-spell for requests (this being a primarily request-driven blog and all) and would like to stretch our legs a little. Thoughts? Comments? Concerns? Declarations of bloody revolution?

Lets do this.

Cardinal Cross Early Access is released on Steam!

[doregon-sugararchived658]

[doregon-sugararchived658]

PLEASE PLAY CARDINAL CROSS

this game is DELIGHTFUL and every time i see an ascension reference, i gain a freckle

[doregon-sugararchived658]

I just got the cardinal cross demo and i can’t play it until my commissions and homework are done

[doregon-sugararchived658]

Imagine attending a ball in Ildis with Zander. (Who is grateful not to have had to mingle with his family alone.)

[doregon-sugararchived658]

PLEASE don't trn this into a social justice blog, I love your imagines so so so much! :/

… if this is in response to the gender headcanons, i hate to tell you this buddy

but this blog is run by a trans dude and his demigirl pal (who is currently on hiatus but she’s an absolute peach) here to rub our Gay Hands all over this series for the sake of inclusivity. if you can believe combusting purple-skinned elves and silver soldiers but not some character being anything other than cis/straight, you are going to be VERY disappointed with this blog.

most (if not all*) the imagines use ambiguous pronouns so that anyone in self insert can feel included.

(**i say ‘if not all’ because i’m 100% down to write specific pronouns for your imagine, if you leave it in the ask. i’d just rather stick neutral for simplicity and organization’s sake. i will also (occasionally) doodle OC’s, I’m opening requests for that soon.)

That being said, our ask-box is hella open! We here at doregon-sugar believe that everyone has a right to get spitroasted by elves, regardless of gender representation or flammability!
