Do either, both or neither, write as you please

Fuck that post going around saying "you can have coffee in your story without justifying it :) you don't need to explain everything :)" I want, no, I DEMAND a fully researched ethnobotanical paper on every single food item in your work, if you don't explain to me where did potatoes come from in your fantasy setting or don't explain how the industry of coffee works over interstellar distances with full detail you are doing things wrong and I personally hate you and I hate your stupid story, fuck you

Art Process ✨🌿✨

I’m getting the hang of reel basics, and having some fun!

This was supposed to be something different but I fell in love with this background and realized I had “steps” I could share as a process reel, so here we are.

Have a great day! 💖

Made my first Instagram reel, it looks much better than the thumbnail I swear

Limiting themselves to a form mortals can comprehend and will find unconcerning can be difficult for beings used to broader spectrums of existence.

Scuttles doodle number 3! Scuttles is a moss-gremlin oc/sona of mine. Scuttles is inspired by Mosscreep from HollowKnight, but is not a Mosscreep.

I ideally draw in procreate but yesterday I tried going back to my roots by using fire alpaca on my old surface three. It worked fine just with a lot of “lag” between my motions and the lines rendering on screen.

Cats are liquid, and Kayle is a genderfluid cat person, so drawing them in a bottle is the natural progression of things, right? Wip, in case you couldn’t tell 😜

Kayle is a comfort OC of mine, they are a fun shapeshifting streamer and artist who also does fashion modeling on their worlds version of insta! A total th0t, and a lowkey weeb degenerate. They also draw erotica.

Like me they’re genderfluid and not picky about pronouns.

Unlike me they are very social and don’t have much anxiety at all, they are also pansexual and poly. They like kale and they go by Kole and Kayla and combined these three into Kayle lol

I have some other doodles of Kayle so let me know if y’all want to see them.

Writer update:

Interactive setting development post!!

I’m basing the “holler” and nearby small town in which ptw takes place off of a few real small towns in PA. These real world towns are are named Moshannon, Snow Shoe, Clarence, and *Cherry Run.

Our mc Cas moves into the Cherry Run of this area. The smallest “town” with several other small towns nearby. In ptw there is only one nearby town that will actually get visited, at least in my planning so far.

I’d love to hear suggestions on names for the two towns!!

*Cherry Run only shows up as a named town near the others on bing maps, but the buildings and Cherry Run Gun Shop are on Google maps as well so I’m counting it lol. A different Cherry Run elsewhere in PA comes up when Cherry Run PA is searched. I told you I was doing a Lot of research :p.

Gonna start a surrealist story written in things like journal entries and shit

Posted as individual posts to a new tumblr alt.

I’m not settled on the names of it yet.

“Pickles with Teeth” and “Dear Head in the Closet” are the top contenders.

You may find the inspiration for this by searching them on my page or that of my art alt @eddeearts

Cryptidcore, mild horror, surrealism, paranormal, supernatural, humor, and mystery are some of the themes I have in mind.

Currently no plan, and not sure if I’ll make one or just wing it completely

Edit: definitely doing some research for this shit it turns out. Gonna be a hot minute before this comes out at all lol

Edit 2: @pickles-with-teeth now exists!! Just holding the spot and reminding me to work on the project

Maz Games: a Chaotic and Casual TTRPG

Do you like sowing the seeds of destruction and chaos? Do you like fighting great evils? Do you enjoy hunting for untold treasures, or making legends to be told for centuries? If so, I have a game for you!

Maz Games is made to embrace the pandemonium that comes with the unreliability of dice rolls, and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. The rules are simple, loose, and made to be tested! The only hard rule is the Rule of Cool. Although, players, and even the GM can disagree on what exactly is “Cool”. These conundrums are typically solved by popular vote.

Chaos! Community! Free for Everyone! What more could you ask for? Cast Fireball and blast your way into the Discord to learn more, join games, and hang out with other ttrpg enjoyers. You only need Discord to play, no dice, very little rules and no need to memorize them.

Maz Games is a Virtual TTRPG, currently in development, but ready for playtesting and thus looking for players. Expectations for feedback are low, just come to have fun and point out any glaring issues you notice.

Discord Invite, 3/19-26/2024: https://discord.gg/vHPadusr

literally no better feeling than blurting out some loud dumbass joke with your buddies and hearing a total stranger ugly-snort-laugh as they walk past bc their own laughter caught them by surprise. find joy and connection in the spontaneity of strangers you son of a bitch. i fucking got your ass

Phred (the houseplant adventurer who was once a samurai inspired warlord/king) is a closeted Bi egg.

His daughter admits to liking girls he’s like “why would I be mad? I too typically find women more attractive than men!”

And she’s like “typically????”

And they just stare at each other for a while as his brain cells work over time figuring it out lmao

His (technically ex-) wife has known since they were betrothed a teens. “you hadn’t figured that out yet? You literally kissed some guy on an adventure and didn’t shut up about him for a week. … did you ever get any farther than kissing?” (They have a biological daughter, she can ask abt this sort of stuff)

He’s an idiot and I love him

Introducing Maz Games!!!

Inspired by various things such as DnD and other (tt)rpgs, video games, anime, various videos by “Magic the Noah” on youtube, and more!

“Maz Games” have a set of base game rules that are used for several individual games. This is much like how DnD has different campaigns and/or oneshots, but they all use the same base rule set.

Unlike DnD, Maz Games are light on rules, and the rules are inherently, as intended by the creator, loose and flexible. If it will make the game more fun to disregard or change a rule in one specific instance, that’s what you do! Like DnD, there is a Host/Game Master, who plans the game(s) and has the final word. Then there are players, who explore, or even explode, their way through the game. (Fireball!!!)

Most Games will have less plot, story, and character interaction style roleplay than what you might expect from DnD. in this it is a bit more like board games, or some rpg video games.

My current plan is for individual games to take no more than two hours. There may be stories that take multiple sessions, but currently I'm focusing on things that should be able to be completed in one sitting.

Maz games are intended to be at least somewhat chaotic, with the often variable rules, and rolls being made to decide the outcome and intensity of said outcome in many cases. Asking “can I do/try this?” is encouraged. The main goal of Maz Games is for everyone participating to have fun!

If this sounds interesting to you, let me know! I have a Discord Server set up for this with more details and space for critique.
