Kinktober No.3 — No One Involved is in Control

no good very bad fucky wucky time (I <3 drawing bad sex!!!)

I kind of imagined it as a reality-warping or extreme involuntary compulsion scenario, maybe with fuck-or-die elements 🤔 TFW you finally get huge goth dick but it’s going bad

Reis is getting railed out of his mind and the yearny pleasure haze is making it hard to form coherent thoughts. An anxious sense of “something isn’t right” holds him at the precipice of dread, but he can’t grasp lucidity hard enough to fight what’s happening; it just feels too good, holy shit, Tarou is fucking him!!! (Except wait, Tarou would never fuck him unless something was wrong. That means something was wrong—)

Tarou’s like, coherent but not in control of his body and can’t check out like he would if he was bottoming against his will, cuz he’s the one actively shoving Reis down and pushing into him, so he’s just there biting his tongue hard enough to bleed and trying not to throw up, cold sweat and everything.

I like drawing sex w/o visible genitals so it’s like a choose your own adventure as to whether he’s being fucked in the ass or pussy… Also I always imagine Tarou with a pierced dick, but I’m like, “But he wouldn’t want a piercer touching him there—” Maybe if Santo (his abusive cousin) did it to him against his will and would re-pierce him even more thoroughly if Tarou ever removed the barbells, so in the end he gave up and kept them in…

So this has become a meme on Reddit lmao.

Something really cool that I've never noticed before is that a bunch of the decoded symbols from Marie's journal are symbols from the books on the loading screen!

(I double-checked, and the same symbols appear on the loading screen of games both before and after TRT, so it's not a one-off that they did just for this game!)

Professor Hotchkiss, your confidence while being wrong never ceases to amaze me.

[scun-gilli]

Found a random scribble I did back in April inspired by your fic ! It never got past the sketch stage so I forgot all about it:’]

AHHHHHHHHH. I LOVE THIS!! THEY’RE BEAUTIFUL!! THE OUTFITS, THE GOAT/DEER FEATURES, THE FIRE??? THE LIGHTING??? THEIR SOFT EXPRESSIONS?? MY HEART EXPLODED. THANK YOU!! This is absolutely stunning!!! Thank you so so much!!

At a hotel and feeling like Hotchkiss with her boots when I order DoorDash (contactless delivery) and then sneak out to grab the bag the second the dasher walks away

edging, aka what good is swearing not to make things weird and sexual—you promise!—when the vampire you used to imprison in your basement can instantly detect your arousal and sees it as a problem to solve anyway?! >__< it’s like he’s trying to make you fail at your sorry-for-kidnapping-you redemption arc and newfound attempts to be a decent and respectful best friend (that he didn’t ask for, but you’re sure you have a special bond by now! right? maybe? please?)

Jacques Brunais: I used to be world-renowned, famous, people would want my autograph! Now I’m disgraced, despised, and forced to work in this backwater Wisconsin ski resort barely scraping by teaching this uncultured swine and my girlfriend getting ready to leave me. I don’t think I can fall any lower.

Nancy Drew: Dexter told me to tell you to pull 50 drumsticks out of the freezer.

[henrikvanderhussy]

absolutely TRAGIC that you can't take any of the peppermints from the front desk, not even when you're snooping

[nancydrewmermaid]

TRT Game Production Notes - "Lost Diamonds, Wisconsin Weather and Old Regrets"

Written on August 15, 2011 by Robert Riedl

Flush with the success of Message in a Haunted Mansion we were able to hire an actual writer, Erin Brown, for Nancy’s 4th interactive mystery, Treasure in the Royal Tower.  Erin was great to have on the design team and she prefaced each idea with “Maybe, maybe, maybe….”

Erin hated slider puzzles and had a great idea for how to deal with them: “Maybe, maybe – maybe we could like put a giant anvil hanging over a slider puzzle and you could just break the chain to smash it?”

Erin also had an odd fascination with food reflected in the strange menu of Wickford Castle.

The idea of a castle made up of parts from historic castles was Inspired by a visit to the Winchester House that the then Art Director, Laura Henion, and I visited when we attended the Game Developer’s Conference in San Jose.

It was great fun collaborating with Erin on Treasure.  It was especially fun creating the ‘puzzlemeister’ character of Ezra Wickford, inventor of chocolate milk and regretful disciplinarian.  And who couldn’t love the creator of the wildly popular Koko Kringle  chocolate bars?

I think that the direction for Nancy’s uncovering Ezra’s secret room is one of the best in the series: the soft, wistful musical theme, the lighting of the candle to illuminate his joys and sorrows and the gradual melting of the wax to reveal his key.  It was poetry to my eyes and ears!

Despite the difficult theme of Ezra and his regrets, we still kept it light especially with the zany character of Professor Hotchkiss played perfectly by Keri Healey.  I remember struggling to script her eye blinks as she talked to Nancy behind the door.  We were limited to 5 minutes of lip-synching per character and had to use this device to stay within budget.

We joked about having the characters in the next game wear paper bags.

I don’t know how I never played any of the Nancy Drew games as a kid, I love point and click and I love Nancy drew and I would have been all over them!! My sister and I are playing through them together now and it is just an absolute joy. (She is however much better at puzzles than me so idk maybe they would have frustrated me as a kid)

Also it’s giving me some inspo to ~actually~ practice drawing and backgrounds etc. so anyway here’s treasure in the royal tower WIPS. I really want to do some actual illustrations from these games.

Also Evelyn/gabsmolders streams are just prime content for background comfort noise when pain flares or fatigue keep me in bed.
