Every person has a story to share about their life. This just so happens to be mine.

Meet the Writer

| Meet the Writer Illustration by VampirePyramidScheme |

Hi, I'm Maks. I'm a non-binary writer who loves creating characters, mashing up neighborhoods together to make my own worlds, and eating yummy snacks.

You can find my current work here - Welcome to Vivid City. Zine coming maybe...?

Want to keep up with me. Here is my Carrd! Do drop by!

Stop, we're supposed to be studying...

But Dion can't help but sneak in a kiss...

Polaroid

I was playing around in Canva when I came up with this idea - Aric snapping a polaroid of his beloved Eunie in her element.

Thinking About Someone Special...

When you’re boyfriend is as cute as Aric, how can you NOT think about him?

Thank you Ili Draws Stuff for the lovely gift!!

omw to write a story consisting solely of my favorite tropes and characters i think are cool

Me everytime I commission art for my characters.

Of Course, I'm the Narrator

Getting this art commission from jjkrokodil art today made me realize that I now kinda want to add me as a sort of narrator to my series. Like, I'm just a writer who happens to travel to Vivid City a lot and each of the couples I've encountered and I just start making up stories about them. All while I'm waiting for the bus.

Obviously a fictionalized version because my creativity doesn't flow that easily.

Introducing Lulu

Adorably short, very determined, and sweet as pie. Say hello to Lulu~

Introducing Lulu

Lulu just came home with the groceries, which are heavier than anticipated (you should never go grocery shopping while hungry). Here's to hoping that Jake appears because she needs the help!

Sometimes, you just need a cuddle

"You okay, Eunie? You seem a little out of it."

"I'm okay, it's just been a long week. Had a paper due yesterday and a presentation to do today. Don't get me started on next week."

"Anything I can do to help?"

"Just let me cuddle up to you for a little while. You're warm and cosy and I need like ten helpings of that."

"Ten helpings, huh? I think I can manage that."

Just hanging out

Just a chill afternoon together for Jake and Lulu. Jake loves video games and Lulu loves letting him teach her all the ins and outs. She may not be a "pro gamer" like he is, but she's having a good time. Despite being a bit of a loner, a bit grumpy, and as gruff as a goat, Jake sincerely hopes that she's having a good time.

Older Lady and Younger Gentleman

Picrew Credits - Picture One | Picture Two

Kiyomi is colleague of Eunie's - they are in the same grad school co-hort, though they're research interests differ. Kiyomi decided to go back to school after her marriage imploded - her husband cheated with her co-worker and good friend and now they're due to get married. Kiyomi still hurts from the betrayal, but is working hard to heal and do the things she couldn't do while married to a very clingy and emotionally barren ex-husband.

When her ex-husband and friend decide to bully her one day, a very handsome young man comes to her rescue, making it seem like they are dating, which stuns the pair. Turns out the hot guy is Dion, another member of their grad school co-hort who is several years younger than Kiyomi. While initially thankful for the save, it balloons out of control with her jealous ex tells her family about her "much younger man". Kiyomi agrees to fake date Dion until her ex's wedding in an effort to play things up. But what happens when something that starts off as fake becomes very, very real? Happy chaos, that's what!

Loosely inspired by Greek myth of Dionysus and Ariadne.

Don't worry, baby...we won't do anything you don't want to do. But I have to be honest with you...being so close like this, it drives me crazy. No one else makes me feel the way that you do. Just say the word, I'll do whatever you want...and more.

A little spicy sketch of Eunie and Aric getting cosy by BlackLapiz. Eunie always thought she was Ace (and sex-repulsed) but that all changed when she met Aric (who is allo). The more she got to know him and the closer they got, the more her feelings changed. Aric may be allo, but he respects Eunie's boundaries despite wanting to show how deep his love her is...

I'm wondering if I should add more spicy sketches in the future. Not lewd, but stuff like this. And it's always a pleasure writing about a demisexual in loving, finding a partner who loves them just as they are.

All About Aric

Pic Credit | 수릐 픽크루

Name: Aric Age: Late 20s Status: Working Progessional Blood Type: AB Hair Colour: Raven Black Height: 6'2

On one hand, Aric is a driven working professional who wants to climb the ladder at his job and make a name for himself in the world. On the other hand, Aric is a very caring person who doesn't hesitate to show his friends and loved ones how much they mean to him. On the outside, Aric and Eunie seem like an odd couple, due to his model good looks and tall stature and her marshmallow frame. But that doesn't matter to Aric - he is head-over-heels in love with Eunie and she is the best partner he has ever had. He respects her boundaries as someone who is Ace but still wants to show her how much he loves her. Lucky for him, Eunie is discovering that she wants to try new things as well
