guess who I am (difficult.. I love your art!)

Awww thank you so much! I'm really flattered to hear that! It's hard to say, but something tells me your icon might have something to do with it? haha Thank you again, I really appreciate the support! <3 <3 <3

Greetings.

It's been a while since you didn't update your tumblr, twitter or itch.io page. Did you abandon your VN ?

(Sorry if it was rude, and sorry English is not my first language)

Have a good day.

Hello there!

I appreciate the ask and please don’t worry, I didn’t take it rudely at all.

As for Crimson Hydrangea, I had to put it on a slight pause the past few months because of health and other irl issues that I’ve been dealing with.

Since I’m the only one working on Crimson Hydrangea, it’s a slow process and can honestly feel a bit overwhelming at times considering how much I have planned for it and how little time and energy I have to complete it all. In addition to running the social media, I write, draw, and code everything so there’s a lot to juggle on top of my regular 9-5.

Though, despite all the stress, I do genuinely enjoy working on it and seeing everyone’s reactions to the world and characters that I’ve lovingly created.

I’ve also recently felt the sparks of creativity return to me in the new year and I’m slowly getting back into Crimson Hydrangea as well as other fandoms. Just know that I do plan on releasing Day 2 at some point this year, however I can’t confirm exactly when at this point and time.

Thank you again for reaching out and caring enough to message me, I really do appreciate it and I apologize for not having been nearly as active as I have been in the past.

The big day is finally here, day 1 of Crimson Hydrangea is live! Please check it out and comment if you're able to. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!

Say hello to the fourth of five main characters in Crimson Hydrangea: Rita Miller!

She's one of the main reasons you moved here, or rather, if it wasn't for her bookstore you wouldn't be able to live on Saint Anne's. Out of all of the bosses you've had, she's probably the best. While she can be pretty strict when it comes to work, she's also incredibly fair. She's always the first one to arrive in the mornings and the last one to leave at night. She's the epitome of a workaholic, however after getting to know her over the past few months you can understand why.

The reason why Rita opened up the bookstore in the first place was because of a nasty divorce. One that actually happened around the same time you broke up with your ex and moved to the island. You both were able to commiserate and support each other during those early months, and you have no idea just how much it meant to her, and still means to her. Perhaps now that work is finally dying down, you both have time to get to know each other a little better? Rita certainly would!

Say hello to Garret Belmont, the first of 5 characters you'll be able to get to know in the upcoming 18+ visual novel Crimson Hydrangea!

This handsome pinnacle of perfection has taken an interest in you, one that goes far beyond a simple crush. Will you be taken in by his good looks or will you be able to read between the lines and discover the hidden darkness that lurks beneath his carefully crafted facade?

Asks are open if you want to learn more about him, or the project in general!

"After a messy break up, you're left without a job or a safe place to live. Thanks to a family friend, you end up moving to a highly coveted and idyllic island off the northeastern coast called Saint Anne's. It's been a few months after your initial move and you've found yourself enjoying your new life more than you thought was ever possible.

A chill roommate, a compassionate boss, and a playful baker have done a wonderful job of making you feel at home on the small picturesque island. However, it seems as though you've recently caught the eye of Saint Anne's most eligible bachelor, Garret Belmont. His good looks, charismatic personality, and immense wealth would be considered a blessing to most, however everything is not what it seems at Saint Anne's..."

I've been working on this project on and off for the past few months and it's finally far enough along that I feel comfortable announcing it publicly! I’ll be making a corresponding tumblr soon, but in the meantime I’d suggest all of my 18+ followers check out my official Twitter for this project at @CrmsonHydrangea !

After hearing about a head canon on twitter of Vio cooking YN food I couldn’t help but want to draw him! The fastest way to my heart is good food tbh.

[phantomlegume]

Looks like he finally has you where he wants you~

Will you finally give into his love?

Unfortunately YN wasn’t fast enough to escape Peter and his broken heart.Don’t worry though, he’s just going to knock YN out, but who knows what he’ll do when they wake up? 🫣

Hello, I love your Peter, can I marry him? He looks like he can reach the top shelf and I like that in a man

Awww! Thank you so much! It means a lot to me when people say they enjoy my Peter. 🥰💖💕

And of course you can! I’m sure he would be overjoyed at the thought of marrying you~ He would blissfully spend the rest of his days fetching whatever you desired from the highest of shelves! ✨🪜✨
