I should make a pinned post here...

Hi! I write a furry SoL/LGBT/Fantasy series called Sweet Leaves that's expanding! I'm working on a children's book, a cookbook, a short NSFW graphic novel, and now a visual novel. Links:

Not telegram, Bluesky, haha. (Though thank you Bsky, you appear to not have butchered it.)

Let's see if Telegram butchers video or not.

I'm just having fun with titles and such today, and this is my favorite song on the soundtrack, so have a lil' preview with it. Once everything is done, I will likely make a soundtrack video and put it up on YT so you can vibe.

Colson's heard this tall tale from Nico before. But is it a tall tale? You might just find out over the course of the VN!

🎨 bsky.app/profile/reot...). He does an incredible array of work from characters to backgrounds to design.

A bear tells a tall tale about a huge fish to a tanuki and a ferret. The tanuki has his glasses off and is making an annoyed face.

The released novel won't be this large, but my working directory of files for episode is 42 GB. We have a lot of video. 😅

Sweet Leaves Dad @tanukidad.bsky.social · 7d

Huff, you do such great TF and avian stuff.

Sweet Leaves Dad @tanukidad.bsky.social · 9d

One of the things I'm happiest about is that our approach to presentation is evoking the feel we were going for very well, which is intended to be a cinematic and directed experience.

It's coming together nicely! We're very excited. #FVN

Getting to share alpha build 2 with other team members has been a real treat. There's still lots of things to improve and fix, but even in an early state there are heart-fluttery moments seeing things come to life, after being in production for so long.

Sweet Leaves Dad @tanukidad.bsky.social · 10d

I'm very sorry for your loss. Best wishes to you and your family.

Sweet Leaves Dad @tanukidad.bsky.social · 12d

Yes please!

Btw, as the Itchio noise and all died down, Adult games are technically just banned now.

Some adult games are still being sold, yes, but if you get caught or reported or whatever, all your payment options will be yanked and only a husk remains.

Zero comments from Itchio on this, nothing, at all.

I’ve shared this before, but it feels important to reshare today:

First They Came for the Fetishes

First they came for the fetishes I disliked,
and I said, “Good, those are gross.”
Then they came for the kinks I didn’t care about,
and I said, “Well, I’m not into that anyway.”

Then they came for the stories I found strange,
and I said, “That isn’t real art.”
Then they came for my friends’ works,
and I said, “Surely there’s a reason.”

And when they came for my own words,
there was no one left to argue,
because I had agreed
to draw the lines for them.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

#SaveSpeech

1/🧵

Multiple cropped screenshots showing portions of the bsky TOS before and now. Before: "iv. Encouraging self-harm or suicide
v. Depictions of excessive violence, gore, torture, dismemberment, or non-consensual sexual activity". Now: "ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions. iv. Do not create, share, or promote sexual content involving realistic risk of death or serious injury. i. Do not share content, methods, instructions, or promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and extreme dieting practices.
ii. Do not share methods, instructions, depictions, or promotion of dangerous stunts or abuse of dangerous or controlled substances. 5. Protected Expression
B. Support, Recovery, and Mental Health:
i. Personal recovery experiences or survivor stories shared to promote healing and community support rather than encouraging harmful behavior.
ii. Sharing verified mental health resources, crisis prevention".

And since we're on the subject of Nico, have this handsome mug version of him from @mousenoises.art (who does all our sprite/character artwork in the VN).

Our team is beyond lucky to have him, and we're excited to show off his backgrounds once the VN launches! He goes super hard on *every* background in the novel. Red's office at school is a perfect example of this.

You can also see where they're sitting in the picture above on the school campus.
