[heromaker-if]

do you have any other ifs that we can read whilst we wait😭😭🫶🫶

Hi anon! Thanks for the ask and your patience! 🥰

I do have some other IFs that I worked on in the past but I don't recommend playing them (I was still learning how to write at that time, so they aren't great). But if you want some IF reccs, I can recommend some IFs I've read recently.

(Sorry for the tags friends, and for the rants!)

(Released) My all time favourite is The Fernweh Saga by @lacunafiction - it's just genuinely so good and it always gives me the vibes of one of those shows you watch after dinner, that becomes part of your routine and you want to see desperately what happens after, and the characters become part of your memories, almost like people. It's just UGH such a good IF. If you like nostalgic hometown horrors, this IF is for you.

(Released) Very close favourite is Blood Moon by @barbwritesstuff - WEREWOLVES GUYS!! I've replayed this game so many times. It's one of those games that after you finish, no matter how long of a break you take from it, you always return to it. I love the "found family" of this game, even though it's not really found, it's just... family. I miss them! The romance in this story is also written so beautifully.

(Released) Another fav is The Golden Rose by @anathemafiction - it was one of my favs while it was still in WIP and after it's released I took so long to play it cause I never wanted to finish it. Like, I grew so attached to its story that I didn't want to let it go. 😭 Very well written characters and the descriptions of things, places, feelings, expressions, mannerisms, is so endearing and eye-catching, never a second where I skipped a line, I was CAUGHT. If you like a story with ominous beginnings, middles and ends, this is for you, not to mention the whole religion themes that are so interesting to dive into.

(Released) I miss this one so much but The Soul Stone War by @intimidatingpuffinstudios - there's two books out for this one already and each one is better than the previous. It's fantasy and about powers and there's a dragon lady that you can romance, and the POLY IN THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! Very soulmate-y romance and just generally captivating storytelling.

(Released) Nothing will ever hit the same as The Passenger by @the-passenger-if - there's just something so familiar, so memorable about this story. I don't think in my next lifetime I will ever forget it. It's about an eldritch horror battling with humanity and it's raw primal role as a monster. It feels short but only because you're so into it that time passes you by, but the tone and the flow of this story is very well done (as well as the characters! 🥰).

(WIP) I feel like everyone and their mothers know about Infamous by @infamous-if - but I'm going to talk about it anyways. It's a BAND IF, yes, music, yes, adrenaline, fame, and all the bad decisions that come with it. It's only one chapter out right now, but it's very worth it. I guarantee you the brainrot you will get from this game is going to consume your life.

(WIP) A somewhat popular one as well is Body Count by @bodycountgame - I haven't seen a game do the whole modern reality TV show with a tinge of horrifying brutal horror as well as Nell has, and even though it's still in its early stages, it's very well done and interesting. Lots of ROs to choose from, and genuinely funny humour to laugh about in between the crying sessions of a favourite character dying.

(WIP) Haven't heard that many people talking about this one to be fair but Chop Shop by @losergames - Also a very early stages game, but it's very adrenaline inducing and has so much potential that has me shaking in my seat. I'm already half in love with the cast and I can't wait to go need for speed and play a super chaotic individual.

Also any game by @hpowellsmith, they're amazing at creating consistent well written stories that have such great characters and even better representation. They do it so well, and I've been a fan of them for years now, definitely one of my role models!

I'm sure there are many more IFs out there that you NEED to play/read, but my mind is blank right now, and these are the only ones I could think of. I also don't have as much time to get into an IF, but I'm getting there (thinking of getting into Shepherds of Haven - which you should!)

Thank you so much for all these suggestions! 🥹 (Although I am pretty sure all Our Life, Andromeda 6, and Infinite Stars are ren'py than Twine, which is okay since my family member loves VNs/otome as well!)

I've heard of almost all these things!! The only ones new to me, aside from the VNs, is Wolfsbane, Vapolis, Citadel, and Mind Games: Trepidation, so I will keep a particular eye out for those!! :)

Thank you so much for sending all these great suggestions aaaa 🥺💕 I'll also have much to try out myself!!

I needed to draw young Joshua Wei & Jane Corvin (absolute need). I think from the time they were elementary school kids to age 15, they just constantly nerded out at each other.

They are assigning pokemon teams to the justice league! 😭😭😭

Joshua & J. Corvin from The Fernweh Saga (@lacunafiction)

#fernweh saga #okay like #this is why joshua has never fallen in love with anyone in a romantic sense since leaving fernweh (he's clueless tho or maybe in denial) #who could ever match up to j corvin #j corvin secret nerd? it's more likely than you think #his romantic partners are losing in a contest they don't even know they're in #lmaooooo after josh's (not decided yet) 2nd or 3rd failed relationship he got a regrettable tattoo about being heartless #help i'm drawing #practicing inking and line weights - i look at a million art tutorials but i hardly ever practice :') #also working on another Joshua piece that's spoilers so I can't show it #although it's only 10% done - less than 10% it's more like 2 ideas and a sketch #so not like I would be able to post it anyway

[ejunkiet]

James's need to protect is counterbalanced by Reese's resolve to fight; they both care about you in different ways.

JR route from the Fernweh Saga by @lacunafiction !!

>:3 @evilbunnyking and I teamed up to commission @mariemarion as THESE TWO okay. Gods, this is gorgeous. Love this game, love these characters!!

#fernweh saga #it's IF appreciation week apparently heheheh #THIS IS SO GODDAMN GORGEOUS #credit to bunny for the fc references - just. perfect. #ferweh saga if #THANK YOU FOR SUCH A FUN GAME AELSA #😚💖💖 #ejunkiet commissions

[grumpy-nyks]

Since Fernweh Saga [by @lacunafiction 💖] lives rent free in my head, I’ve made some doodles 🙈 it was supposed to be a simple exercise, starting and ending with James, but ofc I couldn’t stop there...

Below you can see every single one of them in separate pics.

#fernweh saga #james corvin #ruby verner #reese verner #sofia dorran #the waiter #beckett warrick #becca warrick #oc: davor messer #oc: agnes sigrun #my art? #yeah i think you can see which James was first XD #Sofia got two different versions because I could not stop imagine her without glasses XD and also freckles I love freckles!! #that's why B has them too... For me there isn't a Bee without freckles XD #i've added only two of my babies because i wanted to post those pieces as soon as possible XD #but i think i will make some posts about them in the near future 👀 maybe there's someone who would like to know about them a little more #Aelsa I've tried to follow your google doc and i hope i gave them justice at least a little X"D

[kdelarenta]

y'all i have a confession to make - mal is kinda hot 😭🤚 NOW LISTEN, i know they're evil and a part of me wants to start a fight w them at the diner parking lot HOWEVER, the other part of me wants to make out with them. legit the only reason i'm not romancing them is my ego, like i'm not letting them win no matter what 💀 if anyone's gonna win this game it's gonna be me bitch (endearing).

#i liked to pretend i wasn't down bad but turns out i am 😭😭 #like the mystery?? the games?? the MOTORCYCLE?? #like they're my type on paper 😭😭 #however r is always gonna be number one in my heart!! #i might do mal's route later though....just for funsies #yk research purposes.... #to get ahead of the competition yk #...i'm actually very disappointed in myself #NAT STAND UP ‼️ #the fernweh saga #tfs #lacunafiction #the w #clown.txt

I hope I'm not forgetting anyone, I was gonna put (❤) on my absolute favorites but i was just marking everything ahdgfhd so what was the point. As you can see I enjoy more mature stories, superpowers and modern fantasy dajkshfkajd

What can I say I like tortured MCs

#gabi answers things #IFs #these are all super good #I recommend everyone to read this amazing works #they are such a treat #I'm gonna draw all my mcs for this ifs at some point #I'll make one huge post for them

[larkingame]

if anyone's interested, i was inspired by the incredible document that @lacunafiction put together for their characters and I made one for Larkin, It's a massive word doc that compiles all of the major character's in Larkin's physical appearances, complete with skin tone and hair references, fashion inspo and more! I think it might be a useful tool for artists and readers alike!

Here's the link!
