I accidentally started painting on the lineart layer and then it was too late and yeah it threw me off so I'm not super satisfied. But I love them.

I love Elia so, so much. Also, she’s absolutely got Kit and Verse’s numbers here (it’s cloudy with a chance guarantee of post-battle knifeplay later).
…the worst part is that Kit also liked and respected her, which is not a good thing when you’re The Enemy. Kit’s plan was to “””mercifully””” cart her back to the Spire as a prisoner and attempt to sway her there, but Elia refused to be taken alive. Pretty sure Kit’s still reeling from that; she got overconfident after making Eb swear fealty! She rocked up to Stalwart hoping to subvert the Unbroken, but… girl, it’s in the name.

Mayday we've been sinking here slowly turning into something unholy running away from the same sins this is a place heaven's not been
Eyes shut wide and going in boldly you and I can never be holy
Don't be surprised what the night brings When you search the dark, you get dark things.

People talk about Lolita like Humbert Humbert is a conflicted and dichotomous character and then you read the actual book and he's like "I love lying to people for fun and getting lost in flights of wild imagination and making things up and telling falsehoods. Also I look like a bunch of movie stars and every woman in the stories I tell thinks I'm darkly handsome."

Boom — some of my Watcher stuff in art form.
Her name is Sveelt, she is a death godlike monk, and I love her. One day I may do a personal lore dump for her, but for now this exists for reference purposes.
Game screenshots and some build info are under the read more.

Do NOT fucking judge me for my build, idk if it's good, I'm terrible at planning out a good character, lol /light-hearted
That said, it definitely works better with my party in Deadfire, because I actually have a frontliner with me, unlike in PoE. Sorry, guys, the tankless days are over 😔

Kit and Bleden Mark as two soggy, scraggly feral cats who sometimes act like a bonded pair and sometimes start growling at each other when one gets too close.

welcome to the Murdersex zine, a zine celebrating all things sex and murder. but um. we don't want to romanticize it or anything so don't make your submissions too murdersexy. we will do extensive background checks on all applicants and if we decide a past work of yours has too much sexy murder we'll have to remove you, sorry. we have limits, you know, we want a tasteful gory spread you could put on your coffee table, and having the Wrong people in it would kill the vibe (and we condemn all killing! wholeheartedly!)

YouTube is implementing an AI policy that tracks your watch history and determines your age with it. The only way to be able to continue watching the videos you want on YouTube if you've been falsley flagged as a minor by their AI is to give YouTube your government ID. This is being implemented in the US right now. It is essential to rage against this and put YouTube in the fucking ground if they continue with it—that may be the only way to make them backtrack. But damn isn't that hard to do when responding to this announcement with a polite but negative comment flags you for violating community guidelines and bans you from even posting it?

Going for the easy mode version of this because I’m So Sleepy. Instead of shuffling my (in dire need of updating) favourites list, I went through my recently played songs. To make it a tiny bit more challenging, I excluded anything I’d added to a playlist.
Tagging anyone who feels like doing either version!
G - Goodday (Ladi6)
O - Only Safe Landings (The Halves)
T - True North (The Seven Fields of Aphelion)
H - Headlong Into the Abyss (Augustines) 
Y - Yawning Zeitgeist Intro (BUSDRIVER)
A - Ain’t Our Time To Die (Dorothy)
N - Nobody (Mitski)
K - KRITIKAL HIT! (Unfunfair)
I - Ideomotor (The Agonist)
@squirrelwrangler tagged me in an intriguing meme: spell out your username with the first letter of songs! I decided to put my favorites list on random until appropriate letters came up to choose:
A: "All This and Heaven Too," Florence + The Machine (a long-time relatable favorite, lyrically and musically)
N: "Nessun Dorma," Luciano Pavarotti (obviously superb)
G: "Go Your Own Way," Fleetwood Mac (not my favorite of theirs by a mile, but solid)
H: "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," Pat Benatar (deservingly iconic!)
R: "Respect," Aretha Franklin (ditto but more so)
A: "American," Lana del Rey (a not-quite-guilty-pleasure, like so many of hers)
I: "It's My Life," Bon Jovi (unironically beloved; I always play it back to back with Billy Joel's "My Life," which I think is rather better, but has a bittersweet edge where this one is more purely encouraging)
N: "Numb," Marina (I only discovered because of a fic exchange where, iirc, my artist chose this for Lucy in one of my f!Luke Skywalker fics, and I realized I loved it)
E: "Every Breath You Take," The Police (well.)
I'll tag @weresehlat, @alderaan-babe, @ladytharen, @brynnmclean, @livrelady, @veliseraptor, @inziladun, @melyzard, @sqbr

Here’s something I’m curious about.
Picture this. You’re reading a book, a standard book divided into chapters. Let’s say it’s fiction (don’t know if nonfiction would get different results). You’ve been reading for a while and you want to stop for now. Assume you are not literally falling asleep, you’re still awake and lucid.
You are in the middle of a paragraph, in the middle of a page, somewhere in the middle of a chapter in the middle of the book.
“Power through and finish the book” is not an option, but if you really do that you have my sympathies.

HEY important, but there's a site called Citron Games which have been taking games off itch.io and uploading it to their site and claiming they're the publisher/copyright holder of them!
I've seen a lot of vns on there from devs I know/follow, but I've also seen some IFs on there as well.
I'd recommend checking the site to make sure your game isn't on there and if it is, issuing a DMCA takedown!
EDIT: Here's the instructions to issue the takedown
