Really not appreciating how money is always THE factor holding me back from going after a passion that's granting a fulfilling sense of meaning and worth to my life. Otherwise I could just NOT be a depressing fuck all day every day, yk???

Happy birthday, to my beloved artist/ alchemist ♡

I was gonna stress myself to finish these but... naturally it's just beautiful already. It's Albedo, after all. Even in ghostly appearances-

#BloomingPanic / #Bloomic anyone? The gamefiles didn't work for me until very recently and ah.... Wanting to take a bath with the Toaster just gained a new meaning- WHO SAID THAT? || #Fanart #doodles #VN also why are they named NakedToaster? I have so many questions-

Am I even allowed to throw in a ton of (pop culture) references by just using the indicating colors? I wonder how many people will actually notice that most of them are/ will be references || #indiedev #vndev #VisualNovel #Background #Concept #Art

BIG on this as a sex repulsed ace! still against forced and dictated censorship coming from someone who's got NOTHING to do with the final product, work and the arts!

Especially when the organization trying to censor and ban games is faking feminism to pose as the good guy. Gtfo of our arts!

🎃 Jask-o-Lantern 🎃 @buttercupbard.bsky.social · Jul 26

As an asexual, I don't want to hear anyone who is aroace support the mastercard censorship. IDGAF if you're sex repulsed.

Porn and Erotica are allowed to exist. I can't stand a lot of stuff but I think it's allowed to exist. This censorship is about control
