I'm gonna say it: "Psychotic" is the new r******d and I'm really tired of even supposed "progressives" using it freely like it's a woke version of "crazy" or "insane." Esp when those same ppl will be like "no don't use those that's ableist!!"
As though using a literal diagnosis as a slur isn't lol

I dunno if I should post any screenshots from my #visualnovel wip. On one hand it's good to keep people informed of development progress. On the other hand it does fully look like ass, with placeholder backgrounds people will think are AI because I put a greasy "artistic" filter over them lmao.

There's something wrong with my book you guys. There are no shadow daddies or mating bonds? Instead there's a rage-fueled protagonist, a love interest who won't stop breasting boobily despite the horrors, and The Goo?

I hate writing non-standard m/f romance, man. The hetslop enjoyers will be put off by my pretty princess male leads who couldn't dom a paper bag and the gays will see the m/f romantasy tags and a broad-shouldered guy on the cover and assume it's some ACOTAR/elf-flavored 50sog bullshit. I'm in hell.

Yesterday I finished the first page of my maybe-webcomic, and today I finished drafting the first chapter of my visual novel. (The demo will have two chapters.)
I have also applied for a 14 week course and bought a bunch of art courses off of HumbleBundle. Tiny progress is still progress, right? 🥺

I just finished the first page of my #webcomic, and here are my three impressions of this whole ordeal so far:
1. Actually, fuck this.
2. This shit is so ass.
3. And I'll do it again!!

I'm really tempted to give my maybe-webcomic one of those on the nose webcomic names, but I'm struggling to figure out exactly how to thread that needle of eyecatching, banal, and obvious, without also using every word in the dictionary to explain the premise.

Of course the same year I want to
1. Finish the first draft of one book
2. Get two thirds into the first draft of another book
3. Finish and release a demo for my VN
4. Apply for another round of college/find a job
I decide randomly to start a webcomic. Very cool very smart choice.

I've always wanted to write a Red Riding Hood retelling but could never decide if Red should end up with the wolf or the hunter. After finishing my gamer degree, I asked myself "por que no los dos?" So I'm making a VN/dating sim where YOU decide who Red gets to smooch!

Emotional because a reader/commenter on Tapas just made a pretty accurate guess about how my protagonist would feel about something very significant. Which to me means I characterized her well enough for them to be able to do that :') AUGH!!

Does anybody have a #Fairphone 6? I'm considering getting one because I can't afford/don't want a flagship Samsung and I know their mid-range phones are a bit hit-or-miss. My old phone is a 2018 Sony Xperia and I need something just as sturdy to keep for just as long.

I'm gonna try to write a minimum of 500 words for each of my current two WIPs every day! I know I'm gonna mess up pretty quickly but I'm gonna try my best anyway, since it took 40 minutes to write 1164 words lmao.

Ok so apparently my phone is so old that it's getting shut down by the government February 2nd, so if anybody wants to help my phone budget (currently like 2000 SEK) with #art #commissions that'd be super cool! DM me if interested!

Cardcaptor Sakura let 11-year-old me see this so it's no surprise I keep writing m/f romances that aren't heteronormative. She/her prince with her he/him princess, just how it should be. You may not like it but this is the perfect relationship dynamic <3

I left a review of a game where I admitted to pirating it first to try it out before immediately deleting that copy to buy the game legit because it made such a good first impression. That review got a comment saying not to pirate indie games, which is something I agree with in spirit. However ...

Why yes, the vampire elf prince in my fantasy romance about an arranged marriage DOES need tips on how not to fuck up social interactions 😔 Don't be mean, he's doing his best!

Hear me out: a Pride and Prejudice type story about societal pressures and expectations but it's set in Middle-Earth so there's magic and gods and hot elves? Oh and it's about an arranged marriage?

Having a Hades/Persephone webcomic as a dream WIP is turning me into a doomer. People who would be interested are more likely to say "you'll never be Lore Olympus, nice try sweaty😂" and the rest are like "another 'feminist retelling' of the rape of Persephone? ahistorical patriarchycore much?😒"

Hey, #authors using AI art for your covers and promo images while bemoaning how AI scrapes your words, do you not respect visual art as much as you respect your own?
Because it is disgusting to see and I will be blocking it on sight.
