⊱| Who Am I? |⊰

I'm Sofie!! A snail lady who likes to think thoughts, make things, and do stuff. To give a bit more detail than that, though, here's some trivia about me:

I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I like bugs, pokemon, kawaii future bass, character design, and organization!

I'm dating (well. technically engaged to) the love of my life, @obby-feathersnoot :>

If there's a visual art / craft medium out there, I've wanted to make things using it, and have likely tried to do so. I have a problem.

I'm learning to play the kazoo.

There are other places you can find me— if you're curious, or found an account you suspect of being me, shoot a DM my way and I'll say whether I own it or not! Here are some notable spots I've existed in though:

RedBubble Store | Twitch | YouTube Channel | Itch.io Profile | OC Sideblog | Inspo Sideblog | Retired Main Blog | Retired Sideblog

⊱| What Am I Doing? |⊰

Enjoying a personal creative renaissance! I've gotten real wacky in my sketchbook as of recently and have been playing with my OCs.

Working on lots of IRL stuff— employment and learning to drive are my main goals at this point.

Participating in a writing challenge I made up for myself called February Freewrite Funtimes! The goal is to write 1k words of whatever you want every day. As of February 4th, I've written over 4.6k words.

⊱| What's Done Lately? |⊰

Wrapping up 2025. Big stuff happened last year, and even more will happen this year. Just wait.

Rearranging my pet beetle's terrarium! She's got a lot more space to roam now.

Phase One of a massive closet clean-out. Life is better when you don't have a bunch of clothes you don't wear.

⊱| What's Coming Next? |⊰

Phase Two of that massive closet clean-out! Now I need to go through my old wardrobe items and see what'll be donated or reused. Also a lot of housecleaning. I'm hoping to declutter my room and put a lot of stuff in storage bins.

Polishing up some of the February Freewrite Funtimes Challenge pieces that I've written and posting them! They're looking pretty neat so far.

Ideally, some game dev micro-projects that I can post sometime soon-ish. I've been working in TyranoBuilder and RPG Maker MZ, but I'd like to move over to RenPy for my visual novel purposes.

Ok so it turns out other blog doesn't have asks open or maybe I'm blind? IDK its been months ANYWAYS Look at this guy

goo creature reigns supreme

[thesnailtrail]

you love to make a transfem character its so interesting. big props im a huge fan

(referring to this illustration, I think)!

It's really neat seeing who relates to my characters and how. I'm so glad people find them compelling in personally relevant ways! I was a little surprised that depicting my gender dysphoria as a cis woman gathered so large of a group of trans women in particular in my following, but I'm certainly not displeased by it, hehe. The human experience is the human experience, after all, and I'm thrilled I can show it in a meaningful way for people! :>

( This would have fit better if I’d sent this before you switched accounts, but oh well. )

Gotta say, I really like Beck—he’s basically a more destructive / toxic take on Don Quixote. Trying to force his delusions onto someone who clearly regrets indulging him to begin with.

(Nah, don’t worry about it! I’m kinda half-back to using @sincerely-sofie as my main blog again anyhow hehe)

Beck is a delightful character to write, especially because Eve didn’t just indulge in his delusions by entertaining his crush on her— she was indulging her own. She wanted to love him at first, and then to get him to understand and love her as she truly is later on, but you can’t make someone better. For better and for worse, they can only do that themself. She fell for the trap of trying to fix him. Though she snaps out of it eventually! This snippet is from a document titled “Beck’s Grand Finale”, after all :>

Her gaze couldn't maintain the same cold as she hoped to, but she continued. "I loved you. Truly. As much as I could ever love another, I thought I loved you. But perhaps I'd seen another's face in place of yours. You have your Lady, Beck, and I have my Beloved— a haughty, condescending fool whom I thought I could one day convince to love me as I really was. I thought I could soften him, that I could have a friend akin to what I found in Suffering, someone whom I could speak to in a language beyond my own tears. I must thank you, Beck, for killing that man in my mind, so that I could see you for who you truly are. May I do the same for you now?”

Many thanks for the kind words!!

Sofie! Sofie! Did you see the dancing Wooper meme?

[thesnailtrail]

Resistance is futile.

[thesnailtrail]

Absolute Miku

[thesnailtrail]

Are you sure about that?

[thesnailtrail]

The war of the ego.

[thesnailtrail]

PMD Amnesia scenario 'cept pre-amnesia protagonist was a coniving b*stard who somehow made themselves amnesiac on purpose and now amnesiac-portag is dealing with a situation where everyone around them seems to know more about themselves then they do while finding themselves caught in a struggle with their past self and whatever plans they've laid out for them.

What inspired the change from skeleton to snail lady?

Personal symbolism! Sofie was originally a skeleton because I wanted to remind myself that I could persist no matter what circumstances I faced, and now she's a snail because I'm making progress in my life, no matter how slow it may be.

abt your psmd au is there a fanfic somewhere that i can read it in full cuz i wanna know like whats going on

There's no fic, though a oneshot titled "Beck's Grand Finale" is in the works, and the content on my blog has gone through various eras and revamps in the background which doesn't help. The gist of it is that Mew (aka Eve) in the distant past gave herself amnesia and transformed into a baby pichu in the modern era that Nuzleaf took in as a recovering gambling addict with a dark past (that's Hero), a small fragment of Dark Matter was bitter about Hero disliking the negative parts of herself that it was made of and took on a mortal disguise to try and kill her before he ended up catching feelings (that's Banette), and the clingy right-hand frogadier of Mew insisted that she launch him into the modern era alongside her new form as Hero and proceeded to ruin everyone's lives by convincing her she would be more helpful to the world as Eve instead of Hero (that's Beck).

If you have any questions, I can try to answer them!

[thesnailtrail]

i assume this might be spoilers but on the off chance it isn't: will eve ever get to be a raichu again? obviously things will never be the same, but does she ever re-adopt that form or did frogboy ruin it for her?

Eve doesn't, but Hero does through the magic of thrifty recycling of lifeforce!

Like a cat girl, but a bat.
