Tumblr media
hey @humans saw yall responded to a post making fun of you for updating the pixel alignment of a dash icon rather than fixing anything important saying "changes like this feel small but can make a big difference for some people" which is a bullshit cop out if ive ever heard one so im here to tell you directly in a way you cant wiggle out: you know what would actually make a big difference for a LOT of people? not being transphobic assholes
#that response was so deeply annoying to me like they couldve been like 'yeah its not big but it was technically an update#so we had to include it in the update report' but they tried to frame it as 'well ackshully everyone was BEGGING us to perfecltly#align this pixel so youre WELCOME' and its like. man fuck off you dont get to throw a fit that your userbase is pissed off about#repeated blatent bigotry and then try to act like youre doing us a favor moving an icon a smidge#yall know exactly what the users want you to do to improve this site and are ignoring it because you dont actually give a shit#but you cant say that bit out loud so you have to keep talking circles around it because you know the dirty queers are the main people#keeping your site the tiny bit afloat it still is but are unwilling to actually treat us well so you have to#talk in circles and pretend you give a shit and hype up minor updates like theyre godsend while fucking over trans people anyway#anyways i hope the transphobe on staff is the one who opens this tag notification#just kidding thats all of them because if youre willing to keep a transphobe on your team and allow them to make changes#that directly target lgbt people then you are all transphobes#whats that saying thats like 'if you have 3 nazis and 9 regular men at a table you have 12 nazis'? that#i dont actually expect them to respond to this post bc like. theyre obviously already aware people are mad about this and have just been#avoiding the subject especially if PIXEL ADJUSTMENT is something theyre responding to instead but#w/e#also moving an icon slightly does not make a big difference for anyone sorry not sorry i guarantee if it hadnt been#included in the updates post not a single person would have noticed or cared#they just need something to pad their uodates post out with so people hopefully eont notice the glaring lack#of 'fired the transphobe' 'unblocked queer tags' 'turned off the image filter that targets trans women a lot for some weird reason'

*grabs you like a squeak toy* You, i like how you think. I need more of this *points at your Venom!GhostSoap au* please
Guys, you need to understand that I don't usually have that good ideas. This one was just a mixture of sleep deprivation and my actual hiperfixation (that changes more irregularly than my mood) being the topic.
If I don't get an Urge™ sudden need to write about something, despite how much inconvenient and out of place it is, that has to be satisfied. Otherwise I'm not able to do anything productive, then I don't write. I'm not able to write on my own. I need to have inspiration from someone else to even start making something myself.
So if you guys want more content from me then you need to feed me with it first, I don't know what to tell you xD
But it's nice to know that someone likes my garbage <3

so i know i've already been gone for like a week at this point but my irl life is. some people are being real shitty right now. so. continue to interact with this blog as you wish, but it'll take me extra long to respond since my account is being fucking stupid about logging in and yeah.
i'll try to check dms and asks, but in case i don't see something, please know it's not personal, i'm just having myself slow down with internet usage for a multitude of reasons.

Tumblr media
if there was one thing jason had perfected over the years, it was hiding his emotions.
from a young age, jason was shoved into a role of leadership. he knew that if he wanted to be trusted and taken seriously as a leader, he couldn't show any sign of vulnerability.
he knew that he gave others hope, that they looked up to him. in times of despair, he was their saving grace. jason was always the shoulder somebody could cry on if they needed to.
so it happened naturally. he was always too busy to care for his feelings. and it wasn't like anybody truly cared or noticed if his smile wasn't as bright anyway.
while out and about with others, jason was always happiest guy you'd ever meet. while alone, he was a wreck. he could only push down his emotions so far for so long.
often times jason was haunted by grief. haunted by those he couldn't save in battle. people always thought they never got to him, but really, they ate him alive. he always asked himself what he did to deserve to live while others didn't.
other times he was just so tired. some days were better than others, but those days that didn't go as planned left jason feeling exhausted.
today was one of those days. everything about today just wasn't going to well for jason, and now, in the dead of night, he was able to go back and replay his day.
as jason lay sprawled out on his bed, he felt tears brimming in his eyes. he took his glasses off and placed them on his bedside table. he just wanted to curl up into a little ball and disappear.
once the tears started, they didn't want to stop. his tears fell like the raindrops racing down his window. lightning struck as a sob escaped his lips.
jason lay in a fetal position, facing his wall. he felt his eyes begin to droop, tired from a long day and crying, but quickly sprang open when he heard quick knocks on his window.
he quickly snapped up to check who it was, jumping out of his bed. he quickly sniffled and wiped his face as he walked over to the other side of his cabin, over to the window.
you stood outside his window with an umbrella, a smile on your face.
jason returned a smile before opening his window. he hadn't expected to see you tonight, but he was glad you were here.
you quickly climbed in through the window and landed with a small thump. you quickly closed your umbrella and leaned it against the wall.
"hey" you said, breathlessly. that window had no right to be so hard to climb through.
"hey, didn't think you'd be stopping by tonight" jason replied, with a small smile.
"i know, i wasn't gonna, sorry. but i couldn't sleep and i just got an update on the whole clara situation," you said quickly, as your smile disappeared and was replaced with a confused look on your face, "are you ok? your eyes and nose are looking a little red."
you stepped a little closer to jason and cupped his cheek with your hand. he was unable to meet your eyes as he slowly placed his hands on your hips.
"yea, no im fine!" jason said, an obviously fake laugh escaping his lips, "i was, um.. doing weed."
"seriosly? 'doing weed?'" jason thought to himself.
you cringed at his response. "jason.. hun, you don't 'do weed', you smoke it. and it leaves a smell. the cabin smells normal. seriously, what going on? you know you can tell me anything."
jason let out a small sigh and continued to look down, refusing to meet your eyes. he wanted to tell you how he was feeling, he knew he could trust you. he loved you and you had always been there for him during difficult times, so why was it so hard for him to talk to you about his feelings?
he felt a sob building in his throat. he bit his lower lip in attempt to keep it in, but couldn't help it. when the sob escaped from his lips, so did the tears from his eyes. his grip tightened on your waist as he pulled you in closer.
you stood there, stunned for a second, but quickly recuperated. you hugged jason back tightly. he placed his head in the crook of your neck, and every time he let a sob out, your heart began to ache even more. you had no idea he felt anything like this. to you, jason was always shining like a diamond. you should've known diamonds were made from pressure.
you stood there holding jason until his sobs stopped. he took a step back as he lifted his head up from your neck and sniffled as he said, "im sorry-"
you stopped him with a shake of your head, "no, there's nothing for you to be sorry about, im sorry i didn't know how you were feeling."
tears were still streaming down his face, and his eyes were red and puffy. you took his hand and led him over to his bed. you sat down crisscrossed on his bed, and he sat across from you, your knees touching each other.
you held his hand up to your lips and placed a small kiss on his knuckles. jason remained silent, allowing you to lead his every move.
"do you want to talk about it?" you asked softly.
jason nodded his head slowly and let out a shaky breath before saying, "i guess, i-" he paused for a second before continuing, "i just get kind of tired of being the person everyone looks up to. and i know, that may sound bad, but sometimes i just want a break, you know? and i feel like i can't get that because everybody is looking up to me."
you nodded your head, showing him you were listening.
"overtime it just builds up, i guess. most times im fine, but i dont know, sometimes, like now, it just hits me. straight punch to the face." he said, making his spare hand into a fist and making a small and soft punch motion, "a-and i just get so overwhelmed."
a few more tears slipped from his eyes as he squeezed your hand. his eyes unable to meet yours once again.
you squeezed his hand back and raised your spare hand to his face to cup it. you leaned forward and kissed away the tears that fell from his eyes. soon, they stopped falling.
you sat back down. "thank you for telling me, lightning." you whispered, "im sorry you have to go through that, i wish i had known. next time you feel overwhelmed, you know you can tell me."
you found your other hand softly playing with his hair. you knew it calmed him down, based on the way his shoulders relaxed and he leaned into your touch, you knew it was working.
"let me know anytime you want to talk about something, okay? i love you, jason" you said, softly.
jason leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on your lips, "thank you, (y/n), i love you too" he whispered.

Hey babes I absolutely love your writing and I was wondering if you could write another pedro x reader fic? One were the reader calls him telling him they had to go to the emergency room and he drops everything to be with them, even when the reader says it's not a big deal.
You’ll just have to have a best friend name Chloe here
I never remember what pics I already put or not before 😭 I don’t want to put the same!!
I wrote this a long time ago, and I still like it!!! Just fluff 🥰
——————————————————————————
you were sitting on the hospital bed, a doctor examining your ankle. The size doubled and it was turning blue. How did you do that?? Well, you simply walked on your dog’s ball and it led to you hearing your ankle literally crack and you fell. It’s so stupid. Fortunately, you weren’t alone. Your best friend was with you as she came to spend the afternoon with you. So instead of having fun and drinking together and talking about everything, she got to drive you to the emergency room.
While you were waiting in the room to be taken care of, you decided to call Pedro, to update him as to why you wouldn’t be home when he will come back. His phone only rang twice before you got to hear his voice.
“Hola hermosa” he picked up, hearing happiness in his voice
“Hiii” you insisted on the I. He immediately knew something happened. That’s one of your move. When you call him or when you enter a room saying hi like that, he knows you messed up something, or you hurt yourself, or something happened. It’s never a big deal, but enough to stress you out a bit.
“Is everything okay?”
“Y-Yes, kinda” you simply answered. But before you got to say anything, a nurse came to you.
“Miss Pascal, the doctor is finishing with a patient and he’ll be right with you” she said giving you a paper and a pen. “This is the regular form to fill, you’ll give it to me before leaving okay?”
“Yes thank you” you said
“Why is- doctor? Where are you?” Pedro started to panic on the phone
“P calm down, it’s okay, everything’s fine, I’m at the hospital”
“You- fine? If you’re fine why are you there?”
“I think I kind of broke my ankle?”
“WHAT?” Your best friend was holding her laugh next to you
“I’m fine, I just wanted to warn you that we won’t be home when you’ll come back”
“Hell with that, I’m coming right away”
“You don’t need to! Chloe is here with me, I am being taken care of, don’t worry! In a couple of hours I’ll be home”
“I dont care, you’re injured, I’m coming”
“Pedro” he didn’t answer, but you could hear him breath. “Pedrito” you said softly
“Yes”
“I’ll see you at home okay?”
“Hm hm” he simply said.
“Oh I see the doctor coming, I have to go, I love you”
“I love you too, be careful”
“I Will” you hang up and left with the doctor.
He started to examine you, trying to feel if anything was broken. He programmed an x-ray to make sure. While you were coming back from the x-ray to the consultation room, you saw a familiar face when you entered.
“Pedro?” You asked, surprised. “I told you not to come!”
“My wife is in the emergency room and you expect me not to come?” You sighed
“You were doing something more important, you didn’t need to drop everything, it’s just my ankle, no big deal”
“Wh- you’re more important” he said confused by what you just said. You sat back down on the bed, Pedro came in front of you. “I was worried”
“I told you I’m fine”
“Excuse me for being a good husband” he joked, you both chuckled.
“I love you so much” you said, putting both your hands on his waist
“I love you more” he got closer to you and gave you a quick kiss. Chloe entered the room. “Hey” Pedro said, going towards her and hugged her.
“Hi” she then looked at you. “You okay?”
“Yeah yeah I’m fine”
“I saw the doctor, he’s coming back in a minute” she said as she sat down on the chair against the wall. Pedro went back next to you.
“How did you do that by the way?” You looked at your best friend who bursted out laughing, before you did.
“It’s embarrassing, I don’t want to tell you”
“It just makes me want to know more” he looked at Chloe
“Don’t look at me, she’s the one who has to tell” he then looked at you with puppy eyes.
“No, it won’t work on me”
“You know I dropped everything to be with you, the least you can do is tell me what happen”
“I knew you would throw that on my face! That’s not fair!” You playfully hit him. “Okay okay.. well.. We were outside, drinking a beer, and.. we were throwing toys at our dog, like any normal person would do”
“I’m already confused” he said
“You can be” Chloe added
“Which side are you on?” You told her
“Yours! But come on, how could you break your ankle like that? Do you have like 80-year-old bones?” They laughed.
“Oh shut up”
“Please finish” Pedro insisted
“I walked on a ball” you quickly said. He stared at you without saying anything
“You- wait, you walked on a ball and you broke your ankle?”
“Yes, it like folded my ankle, I heard the noise it was disgusting”
“I agree”
“Goddamn”
“You can laugh” you told him
“I’m not going t-”
“I know you’re dying to, you can laugh go ahead” he looked at the both of you. “She didn’t hesitate to” you said pointing at Chloe. He looked at you again, then started laughing. “There we go”
“I’m sorry mama” he said kissing your forehead. “But you have to admit it, you just walked on a ball and you broke your ankle”
“I know it’s stupid” you were starting to laugh too
The doctor came back in and explained the x-ray, even though it was pretty explicit. We could see the crack at your ankle. You did break your ankle. So now you’re wearing a cast, and have to keep it for a few months.
The three of you drove back home and got drinks to lighten the mood and get rid of the nervousness and anxiety after this long afternoon.

So... turns out the whole "discovering my autism later in life" wasn't entirely correct for me. I don't know what to say, it's all confusing as hell (confused rant ahead)
I found 2 neurospyc reports, one from when I was 10 and another when I was 16/17 that list traits and test results consistent with what, today, would be considered level 2 autism and ADHD. but then they both turn around and say the neurospyc chose not to diagnose...
The first one had at least a good reason. From my understanding, at that point in time, autism couldn't be diagnosed unless all other possibilities had been ruled out, and the neurospyc says that these traits could also come from brain damage from meningococcol (the illness that caused my physical disability). Meningococcol's effects on a developing brain weren't well understood back then, so I guess I get it. It does, however, lay out some further testing that could be done by other specilists to rule it out, as well as mention what we should expect to see as I grow if it is autism. I met all the autism points, and I have the other specialists' reports ruling out meningococcol side effect theory. I likely still couldn't have been diagnosed at the time, though, because autism and ADHD were considered conflicting diagnoses, but the fact they were still considering it is a big positive to me.
The second one though... doesn't acknowledge any of this. It lists all the same traits (plus the new ones I developed that the other report predicted), talks about their severity and then... turns around and says it's actually not that bad and I don't need a diagnosis 😑. It doesn't say it explicitly, but the second report talks a lot about how friendly I was, how I was doing well in school (I really wasn't, I had like, one class I did well in because it aligned with my special interest, and the rest I was bearly scraping by) how I maintained eye contact and number of other things. It concluded that a diagnosis wasn't needed.
It's worth mentioning that when the second report was done, not only was I only doing high school part-time (3 days a week) because the 5 day week lead to burnout constantly, but I was also receiving the most support I'd ever had because my school recognised something was up and got me extra help (they didn't need a diagnosis because of my physical disability). I literally had someone who's job it was to come find me at lunch and remind me to eat and use the toilet, as well as to help me with assignments because in both yr 10 and yr 11 I almost failed so bad i came close to needing to repeat (i'd already repeated once). Not necessarily because I couldn't do the assignments, though some i definitely needed support on that front too, but because I just forgot they existed and never did them/handed them in. I was also in detention pretty much every day in yrs 7-10 because the same thing happened with regular homework. I either forgot to do it, or refused because I was so burned out, i just couldn't do it. This was all mentioned in the report, and it mentions that the school even provided letters to back the claims up (though i dont have those) and this doctor was like "hmmm, yes, this seems like a person who is well adjusted and in need of no further support! These traits definitely won't cause issues for them in adult life, especially in a country where we make disabled people do time-sensitive paperwork on every single aspect of their lives and have to update said paperwork constantly"
(what no, I'm not salty about something specific to do with government agencies in the Aus disability sector, what are you talking about...)
And shockingly once those supports were gone I nosedived. I've been in pretty much constant burnout since 2019, it was so bad in 2021 I had to stop working (which gutted me, I LOVED my job), and when burnout lasts that long it can do permanent damage.
There's even a report that was with the neurospyc report from one of my pediatric amputee rehab specilists that states I can not go unsupported into the adult sector, I will not cope. I will not be able to communicate my needs effectively. My health will decline. It was backed up by the senior peds. orthopaedic surgeon and the senior peds. plastics surgeon (who all knew me my entire life). The report says they had to bring me back into to the pediatric hospital for a few checkups even after I was 18 because the transition was so overwhelming I just stopped seeking medical treatment. I remember that. I remember trying to talk to the adult sector specilists and them just not understanding me and not understanding what the problem is. I remember the issue at hand (issues with my knee) getting so bad, but not knowing what else to do. I stopped going because i didnt want to be told my issue wasnt that bad. I still don't understand what I did or said wrong, and it's still happening today. My whole pediatric team was right, i needed help, but sure, I don't need extra supports because the neurospyc said "I was friendly".
Just FYI, when they finally did an MRI of the knee it was literally falling apart. The pain I was complaining about was constant dislocation and a bone infection. That knee had to be amputated. It was serious.
My therapist asked me to find these neurospyc reports if I could. I knew I had them but not what they said, and she hoped that there would be something in them that would allow her to make a case to the NDIS that even though we "don't know the reason" because there's no official diagnosis, it's clear I need more support, and theres been proof of it for years. And now I've read through them... Just knowing how well documented it all was, knowing that my pediatric care team, my doctors, my specilists, my parents, my teachers etc all knew I was struggling and tried to get me help, but one person decided "nah" has me just... confused beyond belief. I have a binder full of everything I can find that I'm going to bring to my therapist. I hope we can do something with it now.

expaaaansion update thoughts ( SotO spoilers) in no particular order
peitha ily forever
i wish there was more character building/connection. i don't mind taking commander/wayfinder away from their regular group and putting them in a new and unfamiliar dynamic, but seeing as zojja was a big selling point for the expansion n now she's just memory wiped and barely even present in the bagground.... ***eh***. :(
nayos is a very cool and pretty place. i like the events! exploration is neat as well. i really don't mind using story to help explore, even if the events-meter thingy is grindy at times.
that said ^ i am however worried that this Otherworldly Realm of Dreams that could Impact Tyria so much will just be confined to one map. and then... that's it. i mean i was really looking forward to more Cantha but instead we just ,, don't explore those implied plotlines or areas? the story feels pretty rushed :c
i miss tyria. i love tyria. i REALLLLY love tyria, tyria is so cool and diverse and grand with so much to see and so many stories to explore. nayos is cool but man do i love tyria. i want to know how everything is effecting tyria, IF anything is affecting tyria orz. the dragons arent/werent the only thing going down in tyria!!! theres so much there!!
but also getting whisked away to another dimension and not knowing What Else Is Up is also pretty cool. (but man. i LOVE tyria)
i DO like commander/wayfinder back in the role of sidekick/attack dog. i loved it with trahearne and i love it with peitha.
frustrated huff. im pretty satisfied with this expansion so far but also im not used to settling for 'pretty satisfied' when it comes to gw2, personally. i know they can't continue the way they used to, with long expansions and content-filled living world eps. but even if the living world ep was small, they usually still managed to pack a LOT of stakes into them!! i really hope they round the story off well, but with there being another expansion in the works already... hhhh...
i really wish we spent more time discussing and exploring the fractals introduced in the beginning of the expansion.
actually, i think what i really miss is taimi (or anyone) sending us on our way to collect every bit of data possible in every corner of a new map, with fun dialogue to accompany it.
i miss the characters we got to know in the first bit of the expansion. man first i dont get to see the guild, then i dont get to see zojja, now ive only goth Peitha and Galrath. i love you Peitha and Galrath 💕. but where's our buddies :( yeah i know they explained. but. hrmrmff.
like idk i was really expecting we'd get to spend more time with zojja at least, even when memory wiped. you're telling me being stuck with your old friend/coworker in a mysterious demon dream dimension while your old friend/coworker remembers nothing about the bond you two had except that you two had it at all doesnt sound like grounds for amazing dialogue?? cmon!!!!!!
i think thats all for now ! thanku for reading my wall of text (i didnt mean to dwell on negatives sm bc theres still quite a lot i really like!! but i just. know what gw2 can be at its best. and if gw2's best can't happen anymore then im still really happy ive got the best to replay whenever i want)

i've also been answering slarpg-related questions over on my retrospring account lately (which basically serves as a twitter ask box for me), so here are some of those! this includes factoids about the main cast, lore questions, and design and writing questions! (there are also some light spoilers for the game here - if you've played through act ii you're probably good)
Since Reverie is a world where magic can do all kinds of crazy things, how come trans people dont use some type of transformation magic in their transition? We see that Melody has to take her hormones so I'm assuming transition here works the same way as in reality. Is magical transformation unstable or dangerous in a similar way to getting too much magic too quickly is? Or in a more meta sense was this just a conscious choice to keep that aspect of the trans experience grounded in how it goes in real life?
it was the latter. a lot of details exist in the world to make the lives of the characters feel more grounded in reality and to play into the modern fantasy vibe. like, why do they just have regular cell phones and computers instead of some fantastical equivalent or just beaming messages to each other telepathically? because that's the brand of fantasy i'm going for. does transformation magic exist in the world? sure, but then you get less of that "wow she's just like me fr" factor
reverie also isn't supposed to be a utopian world where all of the problems we have on earth have been solved, even with the existence of magic. allison still has to pay rent, harmful ideologies still exist, and, yes, melody is still going through HRT instead of just casting the boob spell and being done with it
(but for the record, on reverie medicine IS made with magic, so it's quite possible it's more potent than what we have because of it)
Do you think more comics can be anticipated in the future?
i won't rule out the possibility but we also don't have plans for more right now
Hey whatever happened to "The Whacker"?
it had an internal mana reserve that was depleted when melody cast that big spell in the comic so now it's kinda useless
The Notice Board in Greenridge -- I'm curious, was it ever meant to be more than the couple quests it gives you? (Or, at least, I only ever say the couple, lest I missed something.) I'm mostly curious as it seemed like something that would update over time, but never did. Figured it was just one of those things that never got as fleshed out as perhaps initially envisioned, likely due to time constraints.
the notice board was something added between early alpha builds of act ii. i had recently added the quest log and wanted to do something with that to test it out, and i also wanted the friends who'd already playtested the amber woods to have something new to do in the area. i did, in fact, assume that there would be more small side quests via the notice board in act iv, as well as some similar side quests in the wasteland, but work on the main story and the major side quests took so long and the game was already so much bigger than i had originally expected that adding more small fetch quests was deprioritized. as it stands now it's effectively a tutorial for the fact that sometimes you'll have secondary objectives aside from the main story, and that you can track them in the quest log
i definitely would've liked to do more side quests in general, but act iv already has so much more content than people expect that it would probably only hurt the pacing of the game to add even more side quests before the final dungeon
i will also say that i considered removing the notice board and just letting you get the two quests from the NPCs since it does stand out that it isn't used more, but the gag with pepper's request only works if there's a notice and i didn't wanna cut that
is there any Javis backstory that you have but just never put into slarpg, or was he always just Some Weird Dude and that's that?
he doesn't have a fully fleshed out backstory or anything but i do have more info about his origins than what's conveyed in the game. i'm sitting on it for now
How good are the main four (plus any other NPCs you like) at drawing?
melody: not good, but it'll be recognizable
allison: not a professional by any stretch, but loved to doodle in her notebook in school
claire: comically bad
jodie: shockingly good due to her experience drawing blueprints and designing armor as a blacksmith, but it's not a skill she even consciously thinks about having. in her mind faith is the artist
bobby what happened with the room off to the west in mumford inn. why did it exist at all if it was just being renovated all the time lol
i put the door in the middle of the building on the exterior art but then didn't have anything to put off to the left side of the interior
So here's a worldbuilding question: How many gods does Reverie have? Is it a (relatively) small pantheon where each member has wide-reaching power or is more like Greek mythology where you have both the big guys and minor gods for every increasingly specific possible domain? If it's the former, who are those gods? What domains do they claim? If it's the latter, who are the major players?
reverie has a small number of gods who each represent a big concept. i'm currently avoiding specifying too much about them to allow myself creative freedom on future stories, rather than deciding on and sharing 100% of my worldbuilding up front and being beholden to that forever
So we know what Allison's preferred weapon is (SWORD), but what does kind(s) of weapon does her mother Amelia use when she gets into scuffles? This may or may not be important for a fanfiction which I am writing.
she also generally prefers swords but will use just about anything. i see her as a jack of all trades when it comes to both fighting and magic - kind of like a red mage
Since most of the cast’s family/past is brought up at least in passing… Is there a reason we never hear about Melody’s? Or am I missing something? All I recall hearing was that she was constantly bullied and Allison stood up for her.
it just wasn't really necessary for the story or her character arc in the way that other characters' families were relevant, so i didn't want to commit to anything about them and potentially write myself into a corner in the future. i'll probably figure out what her family is like someday (and why we haven't seen them), when it feels necessary to do so
part of me also worried that melody might be interpreted as younger than she actually is (or that the game might automatically get more of a "YA" vibe) if one of the first things you see in the game is that she still lives with her parents, even though, like... she's a 22-year-old with no job. she shouldn't be able to afford her own house. where'd she get the house? who knows! but i wanted it to be clear up front that she's an independent adult, so she lives on her own, away from her parents
beyond that, if her family's in greenridge, then her parents become characters whose status you'd have to worry about throughout the game as certain things happen in and around greenridge. they're additional pieces on the chess board. where are they at any given time? where do they live if not with melody? why did melody move out? how do they feel about what's going on? are they worried about melody's safety? are THEY safe? how are these relationships affected by what's happening? it's a lot of additional character work that needs to be done for the sake of supporting characters that just weren't important to the arc i wanted to give melody
I see in Allison's character bio on the SLARPG website that she likes Fighting games… Which ones does she play and who would she main?
allison like the really flashy stuff like mvc or arcsys games. she would main dante in umvc3, and i-no in guilty gear because she wishes she could fight with a guitar irl
what SLARPG character has motion smoothing turned on on their tv?
jodie did until the exact day claire moved in

i saw you say that you think these issues take a long time - i just wanted to say I personally dont find they take a long time at all. Though I do keep spying on your blog to see if you've made an update because i don't know what your update schedule is, that is if you have one at all.
I personally think you upload a lot more frequently than I expect considering that I personally feel like a lot of plot and info is given in each issue compared to regular style comics. Maybe more independent artists should adopt this kind of style for storytelling?
Oh! How kind of you to say. I suppose because I was updating weekly last semester, it feels a bit slower now that I can only do it every few weeks. I used to have an update schedule; I'd post every Saturday or Sunday. But now it just depends on whenever I manage to finish the issue. I usually try to keep it close to the beginning or end of the week, though not for much else but personal preference. I'd like to post weekly again someday but I'm not sure I'll have the time.
I think it'd be fun to see this style used in more places! It meets on the middle ground between writing and art pretty well. Although, there will be some places in PATFW where I've got no choice but to go to a full webcomic style, just to communicate what I need to. Haha! But I make a whole other comic anyways, so I'm used to it.
It's nice to hear that I'm not making people frustrated with the longer wait for issues, though. That's a relief.

last anon on this FTC fiasco, when I say "you got what you paid for" I mean that in a very cold, clinical, legal definition you were delivered a product as it was strictly advertised on its purchase page. Whether it's crummy or not, yeah it is crummy!! I'm just saying you guys can't be crying about legal action, because it puts this expectation of being unjustly scammed when in reality the product WAS delivered as advertised legally. Regular updates were never actually said on the Kickstarter.
but lol okay i deserve the anon mcgee title. the toy comparison was not my most elegant moment. i'm just genuinely worried about you guys discussing FTC and legality without understanding where LW actually didn't do wrong in the eyes of the law. and as a consumer, this kind of information can help you wisen up to risks and personal responsibility. I still think the devs are awful for not delivering on later promises, and incompetent. and if you're upset, please be upset! just please dont mislead

Honestly i Understand sjm hasn’t published a book because of her babies taking care of a child takes a lots of time . I am the older sister of my two sisters and I saw how sometimes my mom didn’t have time to even eat. What I don’t get is the lack of information and I think she should a least come out and explain what is going on. Some authors come out sometimes to explain why they are taking longer than usual when people start asking them about new books . Sjm doesn’t she just ignored everything. Like i was suprise when she said she hasn’t even write acotar 5 in the interview…. Since we have always know she write her books years before they are publish
That's precisely my point of contention with her. Do I want a book? Sure. But do I understand that books take time to write? Totally. I don't mind the wait. Her family aside--i am sure the woman has plenty of money and plenty of help--but still, with a 4 year old and a 1 year old, I am sure it's a full house.
However, what bothers me personally is the lack of any communication or engagement with her fanbase. She writes complex stories, big books, and that in itself could take a year. But the attitude is kind of annoying. Especially where there are dozens of other popular writers who somehow find it perfectly manageable to write, care for families and still have an online presence.
She doesn't even have to do it herself. But she MUST have someone who does it for her. With regular updates, with teasers, with engagement that is now EXPECTED from everyone. I don't need for her to put her whole life out there--not interested. But it seems so lazy and disrespectful to her readers that the ONLY time there is a communication is when she has to sell something and that something is some new covers on old books.
Times have changed. This is not 1994. Engagement is expected. I dont need her to do TikTok dances and put updates in a form of song or some crap like that, but I expect something for which she isn't charging $16.

Set by her mischievous late brother, she doesn't trust it. Madguts must go back and restore her old home but the last thing she wants is anyone to go back there.
If you're not familiar with Wolf Warriors yet, feel free to explore the tag on my page.
Music: cinq by zeal and ardor
Bandcamp link
I cant believe Im publishing this but Im so excited that I did it. I started Wolf Warriors when I was 12 but Im sure gonna go full 2000s wolf fanfic with it. Prepare for mysterious illness that wipes out my very special mains family and life. If you dont like overly, almost unnecessarily dark, gory plots, this may not be for you. Im even going to use music I imagined this with over a decade ago. I remember acted out fight scenes on the trampoline. Goodness.
Anyway, Chapter 1 is done and Ill upload the other part probably tomorrow. I've got a lot done with this so expect regular updates. My asks are also open.
This time I used Zeal and Ardor for the music. Please support their music. They rock.
