biggest mindfuck is the fact that it can be so so difficult to tell the difference between when it's time for "do it bored/scared/stupid but by jove just do it" and when it's time for "if it sucks hit the bricks"

be busy. busy not checking messages. busy reading those books you never started or finished. busy having a good night of sleep. busy taking care of yourself and your skin. busy moving your body. busy helping your community. busy reflecting on your life and what you can improve. busy doing things aside from the capitalistic viewpoint of “productivity.” busy slowing down.

i think all quiet on the western front and the lord of the rings are in direct conversation with each other, as in theyre the retelling of the same war with one saying here’s what happened, we all died, and it did not matter at all and another going hush little boy, of course we won, of course your friends came back

[eco-of-void]

A historical low fantasy interactive fiction game set during the Viking Age.

DISCLAIMER: This story is based on historical events, people, and places. Some locations and characters are fictional, while others are not.

You were born to a mother who went mad and a father who grew to hate you.

A quiet night erupted into chaos as your mother, possessed by a force unknown, attempted to kill you. Years later, with your father now Jarl, he orders you to investigate the eerie silence enveloping his settlement in England.

The more you learn, the bigger it all seems to be. More Viking settlements are targeted and you are the only one who seems to have any sense of stopping it.

All the while, the voices in your mind swell and surge, a relentless tide which threatens to envelop your very soul.

Play as a male or female.

Romance four characters with one secret option.

Have any choice be considered romantic, even if it's as simple as a grunt.

Shape your viking’s personality and see how other's react when you switch it up.

Choose which god you will follow; Mímir, Magni, Hermóðr or ….?

Will you let it overtake you?

♢THYRA - THE COLD WARRIOR. [F] She is cold and relentless in her efforts to snub you, yet her presence always lingers about. She is what you would call a friend, even though she would refuse such a title. When she is forced to accompany you to England, she seems to change. Enemy-friends to lovers, [REDACTED], tsundere.

♧GUNGIR - THE JARL'S SECOND-HAND. [M] He’s a gentle giant, always trying to befriend you, but you hate him. He is the ‘son’ your father always wanted. Though he never says it outright, you see it in the way he offers him a love you would never receive. So you have vowed to the gods above that no kindness will ever be shown to him, at least, not from you. Enemies to lovers (one-sided), puppy love, forced proximity.

♤RAUD - THE [REDACTED]. [M] A childhood friend from your past. He was a soft and gentle child, but now he’s changed. He’s a [REDACTED] and he has all forgotten your past together. When he looks at you, it’s filled with the desire to [REDACTED], not with the fondness once held in his eyes. Childhood friends to ??? to lovers, amnesia.

♡ANNE - THE STRANGE BARD. [F] A strange and merry woman you met in England. She says she’s a simple bard, playing her lute any chance she gets. Yet when she begs to come along on your voyage, your mistrust of her is unwavering. Strangers to lovers, [REDACTED], sunshine love.

☆??? - ??? [M] ??? Forbidden love, huge red flag, dark secret.

Tale of Tales (2015)  | dir. Matteo Garrone

[eco-of-void]

UPDATED 06 SEP 2024

This tale sweeps you up and drops you back 3500 years into the past, straight onto the banks of the Nile, in the glory days of the Egyptian Empire. Under the looming threat of war, some powerful artifacts have been stolen and the king entrusts you with their recovery. You don't know what awaits you on this journey but you know one thing for sure: if you don't catch the enemies of the empire, you will risk open war and even execution. Take your fate into your own hands, solve mysteries, meet new friends, fall in love, learn about magic, monsters, spirits, and gods and have fun in the ancient Egyptian kingdom in this historical fantasy novel.

Choose from 4 different backgrounds, each with a unique backstory: noble, priest, captain of the city guard, or a petty thief.

Play as male, female or non-binary; gay, straight or bi.

Build friendships, rivalries, or find love with a young prince, a mysterious spymaster, a brooding spirit, an elite warrior… or even the pharaoh himself.

Play as a merciful defender of justice or a ruthless executioner.

Warning: This story is a work of fiction. As much as I like historical accuracy, this is NOT historically accurate and isn't meant to be. The story also includes depictions of violence, swearing (lots of swearing, seriously), dealing with trauma, death and other subjects that can be upsetting for certain readers. It is recommended for mature audiences only. Read at your own discretion.

I will include a complete list of triggering content as the story goes on. In the future, I will also add optional sexual content that you will be able to turn on or off at your own discretion.

Currently, the demo includes:

Chapter 1 with the thief background

Chapter 1 with the noble background

The first scene of chapter 2 with a thief or noble character

Word count (with code): around 123 000 words
