I was really upset yesterday for not getting sounds working on the tiny side project I'm making to properly move on from Said The Stars, but today I fixed it and wrote the first version. The initial play time for my beloved test player @faetiainen.bsky.social was 5 minutes. Her initial reaction...

This is a very good visual for how talking about artists helps us. If you’ve commissioned, bought from or worked with an artist, please talk about it. It helps us a lot.

I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but: If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present. Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover

Oh, I didn't post this here? Uh, Said The Stars, the text-based game I have worked on for past three years, is done. It will receive a handful of editorial updates for typos, thought flaws and general ease of reading, but I made a game. Well. Interactive Fiction. ylvanaar.itch.io/said-the-stars

Post your space art ✨ I did not expect to be enjoying Helluva Boss as much as I have, but having rooted for this character has not come as a surprise.

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

Oh, one more side story. I'm bringing these back this year, but fully do not expect to update more than once per month; this constitutes as March's update, where the previous constituted as February's. They are close to each other, but that's sometimes life. tapas.io/episode/3457...

Last day of #Elfbruary! I highly enjoyed this month, and posting pointed ears <3 For this last day, I wrote one more side story for Quir, this time about phone calls and messages. You can read the whole thing here: tapas.io/episode/3455...

I looked up and found this sidestory for Brand of Gold which I wrote for Halloween. The full story is here: tapas.io/episode/2681...

Whenere I'm trying to think how to draw Quir, this is what I google for reference. To me she's a mixture of a baby foal and a german shepherd puppy who has not yet grown into her ears. I originall wrote "bunny who has not yet grown into her ears" but, Chapter 2... GS felt MUCH more appropriate.

This little asshole was designed by @faetiainen.bsky.social and drawing them in the comic is always a mixture of emotions. Such as "I think I love/hate drawing tails", "how do your horns work" and "this scene will be rainy so I won't have to draw freckles for you".

Watching Trump talk about Ukraine is the first time I've seen a country outside of Palestine be Palestine'd this much. The US speaks highly of the aggressor, blames the victim for resisting aggression, and pretends "peace" is an option under continued occupation. It's years not decades, but still.

Now would be the perfect time to go read this if you like to binge stuff! It is such a great story if you are crawing for dystopia vibes with romance and magic!

By "Interesting Content" I mean "The Kind Of Content Some Of You Are Reading This Story For". I know you are not reading a romantic post-apocalyptic story just to read about the hundred ways I can describe snow, ice or cold. I know what you're after, heathens (and I'm catering).

Today I'm thinking about how This Girl was written to be autistic long before a healthcare person suggested I go get myself evaluated "for reasons", and all I strived with Quir was to express with her how I feel about things, people, life, new situations and routines changing. In hindsight.. yeah.

With the endorphins I got from writing this, I wrote 25% of the Epilogue. It won't be extremely long, but it will have Interesting Content, as its purpose is 1. that and 2. to wrap up a 3-year old story. Huh. Turns out the story IS very close to ending.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Said The Stars has its SECOND TO LAST UPDATE out. I repeat: the next update, wrapping up the epilogue, will be the last. I rephrase: I have (nearly) finished a thing! ylvanaar.itch.io/said-the-sta... #itchio

Today in DnD, which my fiancé @ylvanaar.bsky.social runs for me and bunch of friends... DM: has my character shot through both wrists, collared and put in a cage by some Evil Dudes Me: "Oh my god, my girlfriend really loves me. 🥰 " continues to smile giddily for the next half an hour

Day 21 of #Elfbruary! Today you will get a brief art of #Frieren. I had an idea, but around halfway through I lost the red string of my thoughts, so. This is kind of an incomplete one. Maybe one day I'll make another art which will turn out to be better, but for now, this will do. <3

Tala's part of the update is finally ready! Standard amount of passages in the latest updates has been ~10 passages, but this update, which wraps up the last chapters before the epilogue, is standing at around 50 passages! Naturally those passages are divided on four distinct routes, but still.
