btw fellow white TADC fans,

this isnt about you.

your opinion doesn't matter when it comes to antiblackness and racism displayed.

listen to black fans.

you do not get a say as to what is racist or not, or if people of color are allowed to be hurt by this.

know your place, uplift black voices, and listen. it's not that hard.

some of you have never had an unpopular female character as a hyperfixation and been forced to scroll through pages upon pages of bad hot takes about how terrible her character is while trying to peruse her tag for actual fanworks and it shows

Being made homeless - Please support

This year has been tough with my health and the passing of family members and now someone who I thought was my friend has served me a 30 day eviction notice.

At 10.30pm today [April 15th 2026], without conversation or reason my housemate served me a 30 day eviction notice. This person knows I have no friends I can move in with. I can't work because I am disabled and I have no savings due to cost of living and debt from a family emergency years ago that has still affected me to this day.

The last member of my family died a week ago and her house belongs to the bank. I have nowhere to go and no one to help. I have emotional support animals that I can't be parted with and many rental places that are low enough to take me wont allow pets.

The local council has been contacted but the wait times in my town are very high due to how poor the people here are. Not many places will rent to me because I am in debt and disabled and do not work.

I'm Franky and I'm a disabled transgender man who is on his last legs and probably won't survive this. I need help and I am begging for anyone's love and support so I can at least find a place that can take my pets and me and having some money for food when forced to move.

The housemate has said they will take legal action if we have not moved in 30 days.

Actually, you are enough. Even if you don’t work. Or study. Or go out. Or have friends. Or have family. You’re enough because you exist and your existence is enough to be enough because you are not a product. You are not a sum of output. You are not a task to complete. But because you are something the universe wanted and put here even if you’ll never understand why. Somewhere in the cosmos your existence makes a difference, even if it’s not the way others existences do.

Racism, whitewashing, and colorism are inexcusable.

It is especially inexcusable when multiple people have called it out on your official merchandise, and when a black fan attempts to contextualize and address the issue, they are blocked and ignored.

Adrienne Insertdisc5. What are you doing?

Alienating your fans of color, only addressing issues in vague, nebulous terms, and most importantly, spending years actively ignoring these problems, is downright embarrassing. You should be ashamed of yourself.

These problems are only made worse when put in the context of the game. This continued behavior speaks to a lack of accountability in you and your team. We're thoroughly disappointed in you.

ISAT yetee merchandise has an ongoing issue with the visibly darker skinned characters of color getting lightened / whitewashed. (IMAGES AND EXPLANATION UNDER THE CUT)

I’m going to preface this with I’m giving both @insertdisc5 and the company yetee the benefit of the doubt because I am doubtful that this is with intentional malice, but it is a growing concern because this is a pattern that has been repeated multiple times across different products offered. Given how the (largely white) fandom space that’s curated online tends to ignore (at best) or perpetuate it directly at worst these harmful instances of characters getting their features erased … the last thing I expected was it happening in a official setting that was in *theory* looked over by the dev directly and approved. Given how the game writing makes the effort to represent the different characters and their culture in a way that felt respectful it felt, hurtful to say the least.

Many people in the fandom including myself have made posts directly commentating on this issue (that happens in fanart very commonly but now also in official merch), as well as emailed yetee and were essentially given the default (sorry, we can’t help at this time) regarding the products coming out lighter. In contrast the poster ( which is on the very same post as the whitewashed keychains and released at the exact same time as a bundle) the timing of it getting fixed for anatomical errors with the hands was handled the next day. When looking at the post I could see that there were plenty of tags, rbs and comments talking of the merch drop that happened on February 9-10 were people expressing their feelings regarding not wanting the characters to be whitewashed. Zero response.

The following photos given I’ve changed to pure grayscale solely so we can gage the values without getting distracted by red or blue tint from the photos. It goes as follows:

Now this isn’t to say that every single instance of isat merch of the characters were all lightened. Some of them like metal pins of the entire group are on model:

And even with the case of the poster or the notecard that came with the mirror photo, the skintones while not completely accurate are at least clear that both Bonnie and mirabelle werent lightened at all and are darker than their canon in game sprites. I’d rather have the characters be a tad darker than average than lightened or having features removed:

It’s clear that rather than the artist themselves of the merch doing the whitewashing, it’s due to whatever printer yetee has making the skintones far lighter than it should and that’s a problem. It’s misrepresenting the characters as well as the artists who worked hard to actually be on model to begin with. To me the solution is if you know the printer will print values lighter, you need to make the scans darker in post before delivery to compensate. Actually do multiple tests in person to check for consistency and quality instead of just rely on the display photo and hoping for the best.

I want everyone in this community ( especially those of color like myself) to feel represented and safe in the fandom space we’re in. I know some people have expressed fear of criticizing anything related to the game, because they didn’t want to come across as mean spirited or ruining the vibes or afraid of being on the receiving backlash/ hate from people when expressing anything less then 100% positive of a popular creator of work, but I didn’t want this to just get buried and forgotten or go unaddressed. If it’s not talked about and given the chance to fix it properly, we all just end up making the same mistakes over and over, become complacent and then slowly the environment of the space isn’t welcoming as it used to be. Again, to be clear this isn’t meant to be hate for hates sake or bad faith criticism. I say this with nothing but love as a fan for this games story, characters and all the lovely folks I’ve met while playing.

hi i am back with another redraw of the artbook memes

A sillier question... But what r ur fave game names that u made? I always think ur so creative with them (especially here for sweethearts)

Also side note I LOVEEEE grave under sunset, it's such a good ost and has such a GREAT name (can u tell I love titling things)

Aww thank you!! That makes me so happy hehe!

I like all the names of my games! Hence...why they're named so! BUT!! I do like how Cemetery Mary just kinda fell perfectly into place and I think it sounds so nice!

I also really like Sweet No Death--especially because I went through SO many names trying to figure it out and I'm happy with the one I landed on! (Fun facts: placeholder names include Pink Nightmare, Our Carousel, Scary-Go-Round, A Witch in Woodland, The Sweetest Star Witch, etc.) I almost even went with Sweet To Death but the acronym would have been...unfortunate. Sweet No Death is more unique and fits better, too! ♡

Also I'm so glad you like Grave Under Sunset! :D It was both composed by and named by @luaneedssleep !
