#update post

[stjohnstarling]

My favourite alternative news resources for staying informed:

Garbage Day — As an internet user, you are affected by the state of the internet — I’ve long read this newsletter for its analysis of culture through the lens of internet ephemera, but in recent weeks Garbage Day has also become one of the very best sources of breaking news and analysis about the ongoing coup. Even if you subscribe to nothing else in this e-mail, you are certain to discover a variety of journalists and news publishers via this publication (many of the independent journalists linked below I originally found via a link in Garbage Day.)

404 Media — As a reader of my work, you are affected by US anti-pornography laws, which limit freedom of sexual expression online — Sam Cole (ex-senior editor for Motherboard) at the independent news publication 404 Media does the best reporting on news related to these topics of any individual journalist I'm aware of. 404 Media is an internet and technology news platform that was co-founded by four journalists: a writer, two senior editors, and the editor-in-chief of Motherboard.

What the Fuck Just Happened Today? — As a person who lives in the world right now, you are, unfortunately, affected to some extent by US politics — WTFJHT delivers an extremely lucid, concise, once-per-day summary of US political news.

Law Dork — As a person affected to some extent by US politics, it is in your interest to understand US law. Chris Geidner (US Supreme Court expert and ex-BuzzFeed legal editor) is the best source I can recommend for informative, detailed reporting + analysis of, in particular, LGBTQ+ political and legal issues in US news.

Erin in the Morning — Erin Reed (trans rights activist and ex-digital director for TheAmerican Independent) is one of the best sources for all news regarding the fight for trans rights in the US; in-depth coverage of the wave of anti-trans legislation and how people are fighting back. Very difficult and vitally important work.

Notes on the Crises — Nathan Tankus (economist and self-taught monetary policy expert.) This is a finance-focused publication that has pivoted to full-time coverage of Elon Musk's activities within the treasury. It has been one of the first places to break news of Musk's activities and has been cited in the lawsuits against him.

Popular Information — Judd Legum (founder of the now-defunct ThinkProgress.) Highly influential investigative reporting; also publishes the newly-minted Musk Watch, focused on Elon Musk’s activities.

Public Notice — Aaron Rupar (ex-Vox journalist.) Notable reporting on the activities of the US right wing for a progressive audience.

WIRED — Believe it or not, the tech-focused magazine WIRED has been consistently publishing what is universally considered to be some of the best reporting on all breaking news WRT Elon Musk’s ongoing bureaucratic coup.

《 Important Announcement!! 》

Hello everyone,

There will not be a new update for the main game today (the 20th). Instead, we’d like to take this opportunity to address the current state of the game and its development.

First, we want to acknowledge the recent changes you've likely noticed both on the blog and behind the scenes. The creator of Bonely Hearts Club (OwlBones/Rayne) has officially stepped down from the project and will no longer be involved in the game's development. We have a new lead developer that has been working with us for the past few months and has been actively pushing development forward behind the scenes. Any changes to the game are being made with OwlBones’ permission and in agreement with the development team. If the direction of the project no longer aligns with your expectations, we understand if you choose to step away.

We also want to address the many questions regarding the main game's development and why it hasn’t been released yet. As mentioned briefly in a previous post, our former lead coder experienced a catastrophic hardware failure where both their computer and hard drive were lost—resulting in the loss of all original game files. Because of this, we made the internal decision to move forward using multiple coders and to switch to Ren'Py for all future development, as it offers greater accessibility for our team.

Over time, we’ve had several team members leave the project due to personal matters, disappearing without contact, or other issues we won’t disclose to protect their privacy. Despite these setbacks, we’ve onboarded new team members over the past few months, and we’re committed to getting development back on track.

Given all of this, we cannot guarantee a release date at this time. However, with the demo re-release now live and monthly updates in place, we view this as a step forward toward steady progress and a more stable future for the project.

Most of the boys’ scripts are complete, but due to departing members who requested their work not be used, some assets and scripts are currently being rewritten or redrawn. This has caused additional delays, but we're actively working through it.

The game is currently about 58% complete, as we have the majority of our art assets, UI, and other essential files ready. With the demo re-release now live and one of the main scripts actively being coded, we hope this gives you a clearer picture of where development stands and answers some of your questions and concerns.

We’re still working to streamline the development process following the transition to our new lead developer. They have has been dedicated to equipping the team with better tools and support systems both for internal workflow and for maintaining your trust as our audience.

We genuinely want to see this game through to completion, and your continued support means the world to us. Thank you for sticking with us through all the ups and downs.

Keep on loving, — The Bonely Hearts Club Team

Phantom Rogues

A DP x DC fanfic

Rated: M (because of swearing, mild gore, medical details. just making sure)

Pairings: None (Please don't tag as any pairings either)

Warnings: Blood, medical devices, dehumanization, mentions of experimentation, violence, mentions of mild gore

Summary: After thwarting the GIW's second attempt to destroy the Infinite Realms Danny, Danielle, Jazz, Sam, and Tucker have ended up in Gotham after the GIW's machines exploded. They don't have IDs, money, or anyplace to stay, and after getting badly injured in the fight Danny's ice core has put him in a semi cryogenic stasis, leaving the rest of Team Phantom to fend for themselves while taking care of him. After two months of theft, avoiding the authorities, and sometimes doing a little vigilantism of their own, Team Phantom pissed off the wrong group of criminals by stealing a vial of Lazarus water. Team Batman is called to rescue them, as well as finally figure out what this new ground of rogues is doing in Gotham, and how to get them back home.

The INFAMOUS PART 2 UPDATE is here!

Band Member Tier: NOVEMBER 22ND [POSTED]

Fan tier: NOVEMBER 27TH [POSTED]

PLAY THE DEMO HERE | BUG REPORT FORM

The demo is finally here! Part 2 clocks the demo at around 238.000 words. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief now that it's out. I can now go back to the prologue where I will begin rewriting/updating and just polishing everything before Chapter 3. To do that, I am asking for the favor of sending any and all bug reports in the entire demo to the google form. It's my makeshift method until I recruit beta testers, which will be happening some time during my rewrite.

It's best if you start from the beginning (i'm sorry). The errors from the demo are still there since I figured rewriting will fix that anyway, and there is one persistent error that I decided to just add a temporary choice near the end just for those who want to see the scene if, for some reason, the variables don't set.

✮ Part 2 is 60K words and it is NOT its own chapter, which means it does not have a full chapter arc. It's the second part of the chapter so it would help to read it as such. With part 2, Chapter 2 will complete at 144,000 words.

✮ What to expect:

Write and prepare for your first performance.

Be forced to stage a scene *ahem.*

Attend an episode viewing party.

See a familiar face!

Come to terms with the fact that maybe fame isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

I hope you enjoy the update :)

[tadc-harlequin-au]

Soooo a bit of an update post,

Sorry for not posting y'all, internet is still out. Gangle's and Z's reveals are done and Kingr's on it's way.

On another note, would Harlequin one-shots for my showtime one-shot collection be something y'all would wanna read? Those would range from non-canon, to soft-canon and I already have some ideas cooking up.

So do lmk if that's something anyone's interested in :3c

[h-yellowfell]

Did ya miss me?

That's right folks! this blog will be coming back soon!

it's been...a while-

So lets get some stuff cleared up!

-Why did the blog enter hiatus?

Sumarizing everything, trying to keep up with a daily post shedule, college, familly matters and drawing a comic with no experience was, for a lack of a better term, a no good idea.

it drained me emotionaly and physically, so thats why i dropped the blog and took a very long break

-So what now?

I started working on polishing the AU, writing everything down, fleshing out the story and characters, a LOT of redesings as my art skill improved quite a bit over the last few months, and i am slowly working on having a completed and polished AU

However some things will change, i realized i am simply not built for a long term comic, my irl life is crazy busy, and honestly- its just not for me! so that project will close for good

i'll still post smaller comics here and there when i have the chance, but story beats will be mostly through info posts and general drawings

The ask box will be open again, however i will not be responding in character for quite a while, feel free to ask direct questions about the AU though!

See you all (hopefully) very soon

Hearth Phoenix Master Post

Ship: Dead on main

Tags: Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Ghost King Danny Fenton, Halfa | Half-Ghost Jason Todd (Danny Phantom), Ghost Speak, Canon-Typical Violence, Slow Burn, Other Additional Tags to Be Added, no beta we die like our bois, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse

Summary: Jason Todd Phoenix Knight, the red hood, avenger of the unavenged, protector of the forgotten, right hand of the ghost king himself.

Danny Phantom High king of the infinite realms, ghost king, defeater of tyrants, guardian of the vile, embodiment of balance, rumoured ancient in the making.

Danny is a protector spirit, though not for a place, no he will protect his people to the very end. the people he rules sure but more importantly, more intimately his fraid. more pressingly his beloved knight who thinks he dose not deserve care.

Jason has a fire core, a hearth fire to be specific. he is hearth and home and care. and his stupid king thinks he can just run himself into the ground because 'people need him' and he has 'infinite work' like he doesn't have infinite time to do it, like the realms haven't been self sufficient for thousands of years.

Updates weekly (hopefully)

I don’t usually do this because I hate scheduling myself because then it feels like a job but Sonic Verse will likely be updated every other day with occasional every day updates!!

Also I have Twitter now, so go follow me there if you want to hear my insane ramblings about how I like Sonic.

Also that account will be much more lax and I’ll probably post random wips there occasionally

Twitter link hehe

Umm yes that’s all

[stjohnstarling]

A relatively minimal newsletter for the purpose of sharing news regarding the purge of adult content that has occurred Itch.io, and instructions on how to participate in the mass action that has been organized in response.

This is of immediate relevance to you as readers of my work. Itch.io is at present one of the most flexible and fair platforms available for independent artists to sell digital products, which is why it is my preferred platform to sell copies of my most recent novel, What Manner of Man. I have, thus far, been spared any direct consequence of the purge, and as far as I can tell WMOM does not fall afoul of the platform's new terms, but my ability to earn money from my work is broadly threatened by this turn of events.

I am deeply committed to opposing the extralegal overreach credit card companies are undertaking to control what adults can buy and sell on the internet.

My experience with calling PayPal has led me to believe that most people so far are calling Visa and Mastercard and overlooking the online processors. (I posted a little about it on Bluesky and Tumblr.)

The Haunting of Danny Fenton

Update Subscription Post

Status: FINISHED

Ship: ??Danny/Wally or Danny/Dick/Wally

CW: additional tags to be added, panic attacks/anxiety, self esteem issues, mild horror, mild body horror?

Danny Fenton was being haunted. Annoyingly, that wasn’t at all unusual. Danny was sadly used to being haunted. One could even claim, if one was being pedantic, that Danny haunted himself. Sure, since Danny had moved away from Amity Park and the mess his life had been there, the haunting were a lot less frequent, but they still happened from time to time. The thing was, is this haunting was different. Different in a way that made Danny worried about the ghost and their well-being.
