I have been sick so I didn't have a bunch of energy to do a full drawing of my girl for her birthday. I didn't want to miss it though 🧡

Been battling some serious imposter syndrome this week. I tried to draw out how it feels to me.

i think it goes without saying but is still worth noting, my beef with booktok literature is 100% about the quality. i LOVE housewives reading weird porn. i wish they would do it more

Hi it's me again the person who wanted to stream the game. Sorry it took so long but I wanted to let you know that I plan to stream the game next week on Saturday on my twitch at Nixiebeanz. My schedule is on my channel.

Amazing! Thanks for letting us know!

We love to hear about streams and the experience players have with our little fangame.

Please see Nixiebeanz’s schedule for streaming dates and times!

a comic about fix-it fanfics

I think the thing I like about "slop" as a term, despite certain efforts to the contrary, is that it's irrevocably linked to corporate art-by-committee AI paint by numbers content. There is indie art that might not be good, fanfiction like a cake that's 99% frosting by volume. But I would never call those things "slop"

[mollyjames]

yeah, you get it

A little Christmas secret Santa for the lovely Maia!

My prompt was loosely getting "whisked away" and I thought that our Boy would love to be whisked away from logistics by his commander.

Edit: SORRY FOR THE REUPLOAD! I didn't realise that it got SO compressed in its original form TT_TT

Aloy knows that when you don’t have any talent for applying makeup, you need to be resourceful.

Yes, that’s how she uses Fashav’s knife now.

I couldn't decide on which face paint she’s applying, so here you have 4. Another one, very silly, and the reference I used under this line

Under the cut, please find the complete ending guide to reach the romantic ending in Kotallo's route, including descriptions from route writers behind the decision. Please note that during gameplay, answers may appear in a different order than indicated.

We wanted to capture Aloy being more open, right from the start. She’s always quick to assist almost anyone, but she’s offering an opening to Kotallo to ask her for help, even if, maybe, it’s not entirely needed.

This was simply about honesty. The conversations they’ve had since they met have been sometimes difficult, but generally quite honest. She could deflect, but she knows she can trust Kotallo, be open with him, as he’s been with her.

Again, about honesty but also finding common ground. Their experiences aren’t identical, but there’s familiarity and allows for understanding and opening up. Aloy is learning she needs to offer a bit of herself as well and this is a chance to do so.

What’s the point in having shared history if you can’t tease each other about it? It’s really about Aloy taking a moment to slow down, to enjoy and share the memory and joke about possibilities, specifically with Kotallo.

Aloy is used to leading, to always being in charge. But Aloy has also learned that it’s ok to trust others, to know they are capable. In this moment, Kotallo has more knowledge, and she wants to show she respects that, and him.

Aloy needed to be honest, and it was important to acknowledge Seyka and the part she played in helping Aloy grow. But, also to have Aloy thinking about what is ahead of her, now that she’s opening up—and what she might want going forward.

There’s a time Aloy would have been dismissive of the Tenakth culture, or not really bothered to understand. But she’s learned a lot in her time with everyone at the Base and is beginning to understand what is being offered to her, so it’s important to acknowledge that and what it means to her.

Aloy’s reached a point where she realises that sometimes it’s not about what she might say, but being there, offering support. This isn’t something platitudes can help, but having someone beside you can be enough.

While helping him with his paint seems obvious, Aloy has grown enough to realise this isn’t something she should assume. She needs to respect his choices as much as he respects hers. Part of setting up a balance between them.

This was about Aloy noticing Kotallo, and the changes he’s gone through. It allows them both to acknowledge that, and the part she played in this. And what it means to her to see the person he’s become.

After all they’ve been through, talked about and shared during their trip, it was simply about Aloy trusting in Kotallo and letting him closer, opening up a bit more. It’s also an indicator that a romantically-inclined Aloy is more open to physical touch, and even wants it.

We hope you enjoyed your journey through the romantic Kotallo route! Now that you know how to best get a smooch, try the other options to get different endings as well! If you reached the romantic epilogue, we encourage you to give it another look, and really… Focus.

Kotallo's Dream/Nightmare 💭

[prokopetz]

The framing that sexualised character design is only remarkable to the extent that it's applied unequally becomes very funny when extended to non-human character designs. Imagine arguing it's not weird at all that you gave your big gross bug aliens massive honkers because you also gave the males of the species lithe, boyish physiques with a dick bulge the size of a cantaloupe. Actually, you should 100% do that.
