Abod is working himself to the bone to provide for his family. he's even volunteering to feed his neighbors!

we talk about his future evacuation almost every day, but his fundraiser is crawling along; he's only made $50 in the last week.

could you pitch in, or share? 🙏❤️ chuffed.org/project/help...

screencapped conversation with Abod over instagram.
me: how was your day? what did you do?
Abod: A very ordinary day. I have a busy day tomorrow. I and one of my friends want to distribute 100 parcels. (smiling emoji with hearts)
me: that's wonderful!! for Juwels Kitchen? i hope everybody appreciates your hard work.

i finally, finally took the time to play through this tonight and i am. devastated (positive). once again vesta (and now oscar!) have proven why the disgusting and horrifying can and should sit at the table with sensuality and eroticism and true feeling. good god. i'm miserable. it's fantastic.

ORANGEPEEL, ONIONSKIN is out for free!

For twenty years, Mona has prepared to deliver the god that sleeps in Lave's belly.

Now, four nights, and four rituals, remain.

screenshot of the main menu for "Orangepeel, Onionskin," depicted in pixellated black and white. it depicts a stone carving of wo figures embracing while one stabs the other.

screenshot of "Orangepeel, Onionskin." the background depicts a building in Roman style, standing among some trees. the text reads:
Lave: Am I a nun?
Isabel: You're worse than a nun!
Lave: You'd better watch your tongue.
He patted his left side.
Lave: Four nights from now, he'll be making the rules. No more wine for Sister Isabel!
Isabel: Ha...!
Isabel's face turned.
Isabel: That'd be fine. At least then I'd know for sure that you're part of him.

screenshot of "Orangepeel, Onionskin." the background depicts Lave, a young fat man with white hair, embracing Mona, a thin woman with black hair. they are lying on the ground, in the dark, with miserable expressions. the text reads:
Mona: I'm sorry.
Mona: What's coming won't show you mercy.
Lave: But you can.
Mona: ...I can.

weird people fall in love with each other all the time

1st panel: A dismal, awkwardly warmly lit hotel / convention center panel room like what you would see in the 90s or 2000s. A pink rabbit fursuiter holding a build-a-bear wolf, having waited in the corner, waves to an approaching blueberry wolf fursuiter. They both call out their usernames, "Blueberry Bella" and "KidfurKiki87"

2nd panel: Out of suit, the two are cuddled together on the couch in quilts and blankets. The build-a-bear wolf is resting against the build-a-bear bunny. Bella is holding Kiki, their fursuit heads on the dresser in the background. Behind the fursuit head, a "Days until Kiki's home: 0!" Lanyards of past conventions and their years are on a corkboard.

---

Original art piece idea by @mIdrux on Twitter, but I and others were disappointed they drew it with mean-spirited intentions.. even calling the kidfur character a "diddyblud" (yes. verbatim) and getting wrapped up in "proship discourse." I thought the message was too human to let it be diluted + overshadowed by typical online whataboutisms and wanted to redo + reclaim it with more touches of the furry fandom, esp being a furry myself. It's love. For some, the love of your life is in the corner of a boring furcon panel room -- even if they don't have the same "interests," it's care that bridges the gap.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Isi Baehr-Breen @isibb.bsky.social · 2d

I feel like if I were the kid in the movie Whiplash, it’d take about 3 minutes in there with JK Simmons until I started secretly recording him with my phone, and it would be about 12 hours after that that I sued the university for $8 million and lived happily the rest of my life.

some of the kindest things that strangers & friends have said about Orangepeel, Onionskin 💖 godaughtr.itch.io/orangepeel-o...

itch comment from lokasbarn:

"I was making notes on my feelings through out, and then any truly coherent thought melted away in light of the end.

Stunning and heartrending. Gorey, touching, and tenderly earthy. Moved in slow motion like a nightmare I regretted waking up before the end of, if only because how else am I suppose dot access that level of human feeling?

Gorgeous music, so haunting and affecting. The right kind of sparse warmth.

Inspired me to go hold my wife, and to go work my weird perversely personally indulgent art."

itch comment from wahyahassan:

"played the entire thing. and god did i ache for this storyline. its written beauitful,the details are complex things yet so easily to visualize with its words,mona and lave are written so delicate in ways i cannot explained an its fucking terrorizing in so many ways. lave and mona have ruined me.

much like vesta zs works,she has always written stories about how humanity is often cruel in little maddening ways and love is often not always a happy ending but in this story,love being devoured,love is being cradled by hands that once sobbed at the sight of you. orangepeel,onionskin is a horrifying story that reminds me of many things and its so god damn cruel,it makes you want to cry.i nearly did,felt like i should get on my knees and wail as if i were a child because the world is rotten and this story is NO fairytale love,its devotion.its cruel devotion edged with a sharp knife.. thats how fucking beauitful vesta z is with her horror.this was a beauitful story that will haunt me for the rest of my life and i feel as if renpy was made for vesta and her husbands hands. please if you get a chance to play this,do it. im going to replay this five times now. "

itch comment from UrsaeRigor:

"this is a very talented piece of interactive fiction that i honestly wasn't expecting from something that was supposed to be erotica. it has very thoughtfully built setting, very complete and seamless, logical plot, beautiful language and pacing, strong and palpable visceral descriptions and detailed action that has very precise balance between nauseatingly uncomfortable and mesmerising. the illustrations appear just where they are needed, the interface and sound design are flawless, the backgrounds really frame the action well and aid with the atmosphere just right.
the minimal design works very well with text, making it less an illustrated story and more an emotional imagination experience, where brain fills in the gaps made by loosely defined theatrical context, more than a book also, because the pacing of the interactive part makes it very precisely divided in time. i have never seen anything like this. it is very well done and i am surprised it's also a free download for such amount of work done."

itch comment from beloved friend louis mccorgi lee:

"played in one sitting right before bed. really breathtaking and indelible. ingeniously efficient in text and art. impeccable pacing of tension and tone, tenderness and viscera. sinking deep into a cloistered world where divine duty and earthly desire are at doomed, agonizing odds. horror in the hopeless, eroticism in shedding the value placed upon the body, despairing pleasure and intimacy found in places where beauty felt inconceivable. narrative that shows unwavering vision like this story was both impossible to exist and always meant to be told.

sorry if i sound like a load of barnacles! but on a personal note: i feel so honored to know you both and to have seen you flourish in your craft. it makes me so happy to experience the creations made between you two, that queer love can imagine and beget something so full of love in ways unexplored, difficult to describe, and beautifully transgressive. thank you so much for making and sharing this! i love you!!!"
