#pillars of eternity

I was told on tiktok that my art of my ocs is too respectable to be objectifying so instead we're gonna go with "admiring my ocs to feel joy"

Sylas is back because I'm replaying Pillars of Eternity again

Now also on Patreon

RPGs will be like. Okay, here's the the most beautiful portrait of a character we could render. And here's the goofiest fucking 3D character model you've ever seen.

in case people weren't aware, BDS has called for a boycott of microsoft gaming products:

Cancel your Xbox Game Pass subscription.

Boycott Candy Crush, Minecraft and Call of Duty – flagship videogame franchises owned by Microsoft.

Boycott all Microsoft Gaming products, including Xbox-branded consoles, headsets, accessories and all games published by Microsoft-owned publishing labels (such as Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard).

more info on the boycott and microsoft's collaboration with israel from bds' own website. microsoft is directly partnered with the israeli military, providing cloud services and ai technologies that actively contribute to the genocide of palestinians.

bethesda and blizzard are specifically named, but other companies under xbox game studios include mojang and obsidian entertainment - i'm highlighting obsidian here because (afaik) i haven't seen anyone bring them up specifically. i don't mean this in a condemnatory way, i'm an enjoyer of obsidian games myself, i just want to make sure people are aware.

For those who already own the games or the console, the organizers said, the ideal move would be to stop playing, but the primary ask from organizers is to help deprive Microsoft of revenue. Therefore, players can be compliant with the boycott by avoiding future purchases of games or consoles and by avoiding transactions inside the games.

a cultural boycott has not been called for, but there's no avoiding the fact that fandom is effectively free word-of-mouth advertising. i am not here to tell you what to do or act as your moral arbiter, all i can do is give you information and ask you to be conscientious. please refrain from making any new purchases or from encouraging other people to buy games/products that provide revenue to microsoft - consider donating to a gazan mutual aid fund, such as a campaign run by the sameer project instead

!! VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ!!

Hello, everyone! Can you believe that it's been nearly 5 years since I started this blog on a whim, wanting to write for TWST and post silly things about visual-novel development? I never thought that my writing would attract thousands of wonderful people, neither that my little hobby would lead to writing well over 500K words of content. Between fics, head-cannons, a visual novel, and now a mystery romance that I plan to publish on ao3. It's kind of wild, y'know? I've made some good friends on this site, shared work with some really great mutuals, and really just found lots of love in exploring communities.

Which...now leads me into the second part of this announcement. The part that took days of convincing myself to make, because I was stubborn and prideful and a bit ashamed.

If you've followed me for years, interacted with me, or are one of my good friends -- you know that back in 2023 I was diagnosed with a chronic, autonomic nervous system disorder called POTS (Postural-Orthostatic-Tachycardiac Syndrome). As the years have progressed, it's severity has only gotten worse. I've found my entire life flipped upside down, and when paired with cardiac problems and other issues...ah, it's been a difficullt journey. I had to drop out of college, take loans to pay my bills, and have lost 6 jobs while trying to find one that I can function with. Some I lasted a bit of time at - others I barely started before an accident happened that lead to resigning. One was this past week. My sixth opportunity, I nearly caused an accident that I likely would not have recovered from.

So, I'm out of work with no clear direction for a time. Between my loans, medical costs, and other needs from the past three years - I need to raise about 30k to make a clean slate going forward. I know. It's a hefty sum, but I need to start finding a way. A dollar from ten different means makes 10, which is 10 more than what I started with.

And...I know it's kind of silly. This idea just came to me while I was brainstorming for hours, because I've been writing on here for many years, and I thought 'If I could do a commission for every person who follows me, then it may just be enough'. I feel like those commercials on cable tv that go 'if everyone gave a dollar then all the puppies can have shelter for the winter' - and I used to hate those commercials because they'd make me so sad. Except I understand why they air, because it's true. If everyone who watched them DID donate a dollar, then I bet a lot of dogs would have a warm bed.

Ah. That was slightly off track. My apologies.

SKIP HERE IF YOU DON'T CARE FOR ALL THE CONTEXT. TLDR OR WHATEVER ACRONYM IT IS.

I'm opening commissions. Not just the ones that I had before for fun, but a LOT of quality commissions for what I hope is a fair price.

I'll write pretty much anything.

Character x Character, Character x OC, Character x Reader. Crack fics. Romance fics. Adventure. Fantasy. SFW. NSFW. First Person. Second Person. WHATEVER IT IS. Original ideas or defined tropes. Specific or non-specific. A fic of mine you want another part for? A series of mine you want rehashed or continued? You just want a surprise for the hell of it?

You got it, dude.

You want quality, human written, works? Fueled with love, time, and honestly sheer gratitude that a commission was even made? You got it. My keyboard and brain are yours to command.

At some point I'll be opening for art and comics too. I'm working on a portfolio.

Below are all the options available along with their rates.

Is a fandom you want not listed? MESSAGE ME. Chances are I know it or can study it.

All commissions are accepted on my Ko-Fi! CLICK HERE FOR LINK!

Should you purchase anything from me, I will not consider it a job done until you are absolutely satisfied with the result. I'll be working in batches to ensure quality.

If you've enjoyed any of my works over these years - thank you. Thank you so much for reading and interacting. I hope I can keep writing and spending time with you all here. If a commission is out of your reach, please share in hopes to get the word out.

With love,

CursedCola

Pillars of Eternity made a brilliant move including a party member who is so unrelentingly abrasive and unpleasant that players and even the other companions can bond over how terrible he is. Phenomenally written character, completely insufferable. 10/10
