My piece for the In Defense of My Heart zine (@indefensezine)

The name of the ending is inspired by the line that plays after Apollo tries to use Perceive in front of Blackquill for the first time:

"Taka simply loathes trickery and fraud. And that queer power of yours seems to have offended my dear, bosom buzzard."

In this zine, defense attorneys are turned into protagonists of a dating sim. Blackquill is one of the love interests. Here, Apollo took his route and reached a Bad Ending.

This ending was triggered by Apollo's too many uses of Perceive on Blackquill. Not only do Blackquill (and Taka) disapprove of that ability, but repeatedly attempting to yank the truth out of someone who doesn't take kindly to being pried open... it does show your distrust.

Blackquill loses his composure and Taka follows. At that point, Apollo has depleted all his chances of winning Blackquill's affection, as indicated by the heart meter UI; the slice effect when the hearts shatter is meant to reference Blackquill's… katana?- his finger slice animation.

The background is a simplified version of the the background effect of Perceive.

So far, this has been my favorite art piece ever. I quite literally got to mash all my favorite things together: visual novels, bad endings, Apollo and Blackquill as a pair. This zine challenged me to illustrate a game concept out of a dream and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. All elements of the composition came naturally together—I could talk about every decision all day. I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity- once again, thank you for having me on this project!

(also a big love letter to all justquill enjoyers <3)
