Hey guys, when do you get to the point in your life where you actually understand what's going on?

...Guys?

Oh yeah, I haven't posted in a hot minute....uhhhhh

HAVE A BUNCH OF APOLLO ART I'VE MADE RECENTLY!

A silly Icon doodle.

A Piece I made for Transgender Day of Visibility.

And not one, but TWO drawings of Human AU Apollo!

Just noting here: Apollo is a Charming Darkness OC. He has a counterpart in MelodyTale that is similar but NOT the same

Charming Darkness is my own personal Deltarune AU

And MelodyTale is my own personal Undertale AU.

That is all.

as a younger person I'd sometimes get overwhelmed with the violence of the world, not just human violence but the violence done to animals and by animals, the innate violence of being an animal. because an animal is, by definition, an organism that must consume other organisms to live. and this would lodge in my spiraling young adult mind, the tragedy that to live, to be a creature, is to cause harm. that life is sustained by consuming life.

eventually I got older (and medicated), but in the meantime spending time in woodland really helped. it comforted me to be around plantlife, which feeds not on life but on sunlight, and therefore causes no harm.

anyway now I'm reading The Hidden Life Of Trees by Peter Wohlleben (incredible book) and it turns out that was a big fat LIE. forests are violent as FUCK

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

life as a tree is fucking BRUTAL. ok no they don't actually eat each other (well, not until they've been broken down and digested by microorganisms first) but competition is FIERCE. sunlight and water are finite resources. survival rates are dismal. a tree can release a million seeds in a lifetime and have only one offspring live to maturity. some species evolved ways of stealing sunlight from trees who got there first, bidding their time as a sapling then shooting out from under older canopies to hog as as much light as possible. next-door neighbors? fuck em, let em starve.

then you get shit like epiphytes that decided to just grow on top of other plants. strangler fig vines, for instance, which decided well fuck, im just gonna cling to this tree trunk and let it do the support work. maybe entangle our roots and envelope my host completely over time. oopsie my host died? that's ok I'll just cling to its corpse for eternity

equally horrifying is the honeysuckle, which preys on young trees boa-constrictor style, squeezing the life out of saplings, which grow with permanent deformities before dying prematurely (makes for a neat walking stick though)

then you get out and proud parasites like mistletoe who are happy to attach themselves to tree canopies and suck their blood extract water and nutrients. so yeah some plants do eat each other actually. gives ya some perspective on the old christmas tradition of hunting mistletoe with guns (yes that's a thing, shooting them down out of trees like squirrels. yes, unlike squirrels they deserve it). as for the romance angle, who doesn't want to kiss a lover beneath the dying corpse of a parasitic trophy kill? sexy as heck.

in conclusion, PLANTS ARE VIOLENT AS FUCK, and that's not even getting into the eternal chemical warfare they are forced to wage against insects, fungi, microbes and other enemies.

one day soon the forests will turn on us, and when that day comes I'm cheerfully betraying humanity and skipping away to cross enemy lines 🫡

None of that compares to the Grand Violence of Fungi.

- My partner's words after making him read this whole post. He likes nature and shit and especially likes mushrooms...so have fun with that information.

[lithelypasta]

It has been becoming increasingly clearer that me and my fiancé occupy different parts of the internet that only sometimes overlap.

I continuously get blindsided by him referencing memes and / or videos that I have NO CLUE of.

He will then be geniunely confused how I've never seen said meme given how chronically online I am.

I don't know how to tell him that I stopped being fully up to date on all of meme culture when Vine died...

You wanna know something funny?

In all my time watching P.M. Seymour's Late Night Tumblr Binges...

I have never once desired to be put in said videos and have my post(s) read.

I don't even post HALF of the unhinged shit I say because I know my brain!

Do you honestly think I want some wacky VA voice reading my 3am sleep deprived rambles?

Reading the times I YEARN for fictional characters.

Reading all the times I go on and on about my OCs because I love them so much and they are so important to me and I want more people to like them and to see them and to draw them and love them as much as I do, please, dear lord. I love my OCs!!

...ahem...

Hell no!

I don't post on Tumblr much because I forget, but if I post anything like how my head is 24/7,

I will never see Heaven's gates.

There's a reason I made my take on this meme with my current OC hyperfixation, Apollo, and myself.

I love my boy so much!

I'm sorry for torturing you all the time, Apollo. It will keep happening.

3/19/2026 UPDATE

hey guyssssss! Ze here! Here's my new Persona first of all: Robot fox girl...yeh

I'm not dead. I know it is very hard to believe, but I am not. I have been very active on BlueSky and have been coming back to YouTube after a 2 year absence. yes yes, I know. Hold your applause, please! ... but yeah. I lived bishes. Ze ain't dead yet!

In other news, I have been playing through Undertale Yellow with 2 other bozos on my YouTube (not blindly except for one of us that isn't me) maybe go check that out?

💛Let's Play - Undertale Yellow (Feat. TheMediaMage & ThunderKingRai)💛

The title says it all

Uhhhh I have an big AU project i'm actively working on. I may post more about it and still have to update the existing refs of the OCs. ...Even though I like..literally just made them... But that'll be it's own seperate post! For now.... I'm not dead. I'm vibing. Here's some art I've made recently (some may be relating to that AU I mentioned):

buh byeeeeeee!! -Ze

Another New Preview + Fourth Devlog!

Just a fun little preview today… and a brief little cameo.

Long time no devlog, too! It's been since October... so I failed that once-a-month update I wanted to do. Oh well. It was perhaps a bit ambitious as it was.

Let me go over what's been done (and what's not been done)! 📺💗

For those wondering about the sudden disappearance, I've mentioned it on socials a little bit, but to summarize it quickly and not-too-overly-personally: I had a mental health relapse of sorts combined with seasonal depression, of which I'm still recovering from. I'll be okay, just wanted to be transparent.

Going forward, I can maybe manage a devlog every 2 months? But we'll see what happens.

Anyway, since the last devlog, I have made refinements and slight adjustments to the Tenna Route both based on reports from playtests and my own re-playing after not visiting the game since early October. There's still two parts I want to adjust, but that will likely take a dedicated day, at minimum.

Specific art things I have finished are:

Added some sprites in the pause menu, changing based on where you are in the storyline. I posted two of them here!

Remember when I said I made 22 sprites for a character who is barely involved? Yeah, that's been upped to 31. Anyone who even slightly knows me will probably not be surprised upon seeing who it is. But I'm still embarrassed. (Unfortunately, all of them are actually used, too...)

Similarly, I previously said all the character sprites had been done... but NOW. NOW THEY SHOULD BE DONE. I had forgotten about one character entirely.

ALL of the BG art has been completed!

Drew out a 5th and 6th cutscene, bringing the total up to 6/9 cutscenes complete! (Reminder that these are sketchy "animatics," so they're not super fleshed out or anything. I'm trying to keep them as least intensive as possible for my own sanity, otherwise I'd spend years on this part alone. And having to learn how to animate.)

Created another music cover... I think it was just one, but it might have been two. Either way, saying what song(s) would be spoilers!

For the coding and writing end of things, I've...

Fixed the single-file save/load function, which had apparently been broken prior.

Revamped the dialogue box UI slightly so it allows for more of the character sprites to be visible.

Finished the majority of the point-n-click sections, aside from a part that occurs after the first [Weird] Route date.

Started work on the second Legend of Tenna-style minigame out of 3, but it's extremely rough.

Completed the final art for the second shop in the [Weird] Route.

Implemented the writing I had started months ago for uh... 5 of the 9 total endings? Oh no, how did the number get that high...

Completed the "Aside Story"… aside from a part that I can't work on until the game is nearly finished.

Started building the connection coming from the dates and going into the endings. This is determined by a lot of variables because there's a lot of combinations...

5/12 endings are completed. 2 more are WIPs, but the rest I haven't started yet.

Speaking of the endings... There are parts that I wrote prior to the Winter 2025 newsletter coming out that I'm sure no one will believe I did in fact write prior to that newsletter. I won't say why, but know that my jaw dropped upon because there was something in there that was near identical to parts of the ILTV endings I had already written back in July or August 2025... A friend joked that Toby Fox had access to my files because it was so on-the-nose. Another called me "the Tenna whisperer" LMAO.

In the last devlog, I mentioned I was struggling with a roadblock of character motivation for the [Weird] Route. I think I have marginally solved this a bit by making some slight revisions to Vess's character as well as stepping away and coming back to get a fresh look at Deltarune's lore from a different perspective. The newest newsletter also helped in this regard.

I still have been struggling to write the [Weird] Route's first date... and considered cutting the second date altogether.

While removing the second date for the [Weird] Route sounds like it would make it significantly shorter, the [Weird] Route in its current state is already decently even in length with the Tenna Route as a whole, if I were to factor in the time for a single date. Additionally, with the Secret Date and "Aside Story" (terrible name for it but I don't know what to call it), this also adds to the time of the [Weird] Route even if they're not a direct part of it.

It's important to me to not make the [Weird] Route TOO long, because it's kind of missing an integral part of the reason as to why people would be playing a game called "I Love TV"... and my goal isn't to upset people.

I have not made any solid decisions yet, but for the most part, this is what my current outline has been adjusted to:

Tenna’s Route: ⭐ Route Introduction [COMPLETE] ⭐ Quiz Date [COMPLETE] ⭐ Point-n-Click section [COMPLETE] ⭐ Shop Intermission [COMPLETE] ⭐ "Park" Date [COMPLETE] ⭐ Route “Ending” [COMPLETE] [Weird] Route: 💚 Route Introduction [COMPLETE] 💚 Point-n-Click section 1 [COMPLETE] 💚 Shop Interactions [COMPLETE] 💚 First Date [Started, not yet complete] 💚 Point-n-Click section 2 [Started, not yet complete] 💚 Second Date [not started] (Might remove? Might cut down?) Secret Date: 🔷 Actual Date [Started, not yet complete] Endings: ⭐ Good Ending [COMPLETE] ⭐ "Bad" Ending [COMPLETE] ⭐ Ending alone [not started] 💚 Good Ending [Started, not yet complete] 💚 "Bad" Ending [Started, not yet complete] 💚 Ending alone [not started] 🔷 "Bad" Ending [not started] 🔷 Ending with Tenna Route [not started] 🔷 Ending with [Weird] Route [not started] 🔷 Ending alone [not started] ⭐💚 Combo Ending [COMPLETE] ⭐💚🔷 Triple Ending [COMPLETE] 💗 "Actual"/Universal Ending [not started] Other Things: 💗 Cutscenes [6/9 completed] 💗 "Aside Story"(?) [COMPLETE, aside from a small part]

That seems different than it was before... but, actually, this was stuff I'd had planned, but I've just re-organized it a bit in the list for my own sanity.

The biggest hurdles for me at the moment are writing the endings and the remaining Legend of Tenna-style minigame, the latter being included in the second point-n-click section of the [Weird] Route.

By the way, when I say things are "COMPLETE," I mean they are in a playable state from start to finish. There are some aspects that are incomplete, such as custom funny text for Tenna's dialogue; or it needs some general polish and a way to connect it into the rest of the game cohesively.

Otherwise, that should be the end of what I have for now. Almost everything listed today I've done since the beginning of January, aside from a couple things done back in October or was writing I did back in July/August.

Thanks for reading and following ILTV's development! I can't wait to show this game off, to be honest...

[lithelypasta]

So I MAY have made a random Hazbin Hotel OC.... out of nowhere... not related to my AUs.... And I also may have made a whole blog dedicated to her... So...maybe go check that out? could use some participation! Have Fun 💜💜 💜 @zoe-connors-hellish-domain 💜

[lithelypasta]

So I haven't posted anything here in like....how long now?

So...

The Deltarune Brainrot is going strong for me.

Should I draw some stuff?

[lithelypasta]

Been awhile since I've posted on here.... kind of migrating from bird app, myself....

So here is some art I've made since I've been gone. Expect more, hopefully!
