Some interesting reading - latest Pixelberry review on Glassdoor by an ex-employee, giving their point of view of what's been going on at PB lately. Also says that those 200 people who were let go were around 75% of staff 😬

idk if anyone else knows this but the lead writer for Nightbound also wrote Payback’s a Witch 🌗✨🔮 10/10 recommend this one if you like sapphic witchy rom coms. The plot is kinda “John Tucker Must Die” meets the Triwizard Tournament (sorry I hate referencing THAT series but you can tell it was kind of an inspiration) and the main character and the love interest are sooo good together. I won’t pretend it’s high literature by any means but I had fun with it and I think queer Nightbound fans will probably enjoy it 💁‍♀️

PB removing key ads days after announcing the death of Storyloom isn't suspicious at all

[acourtesanofedgewater]

So, with all the things we're hearing about pb, I think it's safe to say they're struggling. A lot.

While they probably deserve it, it means that if they go under we will also lose all our favorite scenes and stories. This is your sign to archive your favorite stuff.

Replay your most beloved stories. Take screenshots of what you want to keep. Screen record your playthroughs. ANYTHING you want to keep, make sure to keep it. Because if things continue like this, we're gonna lose it all very, very soon.

Finding out that Andrew was removed from Lead Writer of Blades 2 honestly explains so much

[acourtesanofedgewater]

Absolutely appalled that choices uses AI for cover art but also, why does their writing feel like they took it from ChatGPT too? It seems devoid of any soul - all the books feel the exact same only with certain tweaks to the plot. Where is the distinctive writing style? Where are the quippy observations? Why is it so bland and descriptive and so reliant on purple prose and even that prose feels so synthetic?

With the layoffs I don't want to assume the worst but - the newer books have some very dull descriptors, repeated uses of adjectives, spelling errors or weird run-on sentences and it's almost as if they threw a paragraph into some word prompter to "enhance it". Every story feels like it was written the same exact way with certain things changed.

I won't be surprised. They have so many books coming out. What an absolute insult to VIP subscribers to pay actual money, expecting good narrations but getting the same thing over and over again but repackaged differently

[acourtesanofedgewater]

Oof. This is... interesting, to say the least. Brings so much questions about their new model business (cater exclusively to VIP subscribers), the kind of books they've released up until now (horny and nothing else), and what will happen from now on.

These resources challenge zionist ideology and offer a clear history of the occupation, Israel's military industrial complex, and the BDS movement. (X)

Download here because some of you can use some reading tbh

We get Aerin back for one (1) chapter (and some valax romance) and it immediately skyrockets us to the top. Honestly the power that we gave is un matched. PB should have brought them in earlier

[acourtesanofedgewater]

OH. MY. GOD.

blades ch 17 spoilers

AERIN IS BACK

you're gathering your allies and he literally just waltzes in there and offers to help lmao. you can respond by thanking him, yelling at him or kissing him (to which mc says like 'i don't have time to yell at you)

there is a cg - posted by @farizrz HERE

hookup scenes afterwards with all 6 LIs including aerin and valax!!

VALAX HOOKUP - she is not there but you're both thinking of each other and accidentally open up a portal and meet in the dreamworld where you used to meet the watcher

Forever weighing the pros and cons of an Open Heart replay

Why does this keep happening to me

[acourtesanofedgewater]

How I be looking after I made multiple essay posts about how story filled and angst riddled Aerin's romance was going to be only for him to be a 4 chapter NPC companion.

[acourtesanofedgewater]

When is the rest of the gang going to roast MC for falling for Aerin again? They need to be help accountable for their terrible life choices

[acourtesanofedgewater]

Yes yes virginity is a particularly stupid social construct and shouldn't matter unless it's a kink you're sharing with partner(s)

But also BOLAS MC fucked two virgins and seems to be on their way to fuck a third and 2/3rds of those virgins were evil and all three have tried to kill them at some point and I can't explain why this is so funny to me but it is
