Ikevamp was the game that pushed me to make stationery. It's obviously been a long time since I've written anything related to ikevamp, but here is the mock letter paper I made for Napoleon, Mozart, Arthur, Isaac, Vincent, Theo, Comte, Dazai, Sebastian, and Leonardo.

It's not perfect, the files themselves haven't been updated since 2020, but please feel free to use them if you want to print out any letters from the game you enjoyed. (Or create new ones!)

If you're interested, I also have an envelope set here, and another here. Neither of the envelope sets include the two newest characters since they were made before they were announced (I also don't have their emblems or signatures)

"They/them? But there's only one of you?" wrong. All non-binary people are connected to the same hive mind

I haven't done this for a while, somehow was inspired again

if only for a moment

lots of buds ask 'chuck how do you maintain such a positive outlook?' i think practice of gratitude is different for all, so looking for a kind of quick antidote that will rewire your whole brain is rarely the trot. many small steps. its called a practice for a reason. still, maybe my story can help

the first time i remember REALLY thinking about this was when i was a young buckaroo and i got VERY sick. it was a long term, serious trot. anyway i remember thinking, 'i would give anything to not be sick anymore' i would try to quantify it like 'okay here is what i would do' with just wild stuff

eventually i started thinking 'the PASSION that i have for getting better is kind of funny because when i AM healthy i certainly never ENJOY MY HEALTH with that kind of passion. i just take it for granted.' so i made a promise that i would always remember that passion if and when i got better

i DID get better eventually, but that lesson kind of started to slip into other parts of my life. i get in a fender bender and it ruins my day, but there are INFINITE timelines where i died in that wreck, or someone i love did. HOW ABSURDLY LUCKY I AM TO HAVE A  FENDER BENDER

now it is important to remember that some people HIDE BEHIND gratitude in a bad way. the truth is sometimes you get in that wreck and it IS deadly, or you get sick and it DOES NOT get better. it helps nobody to ACT like there is no tragedy. there is. it is not WRONG to hurt and ache and be sad

so i personally think healthy gratitude practice is not a denial of the pain on this timeline it is an acknowledgment. it is not an invitation to sit back because everything is just fine, it is a CALL to step up and help when you are in the position to. to CHOOSE kindness and service

so when i wake up i think 'what a great day to take these blessings i have received and PUT THEM TO USE. great day to work to help those on the rough timelines i have narrowly missed but will someday be my own. when i talk about PROVING love that is literally what means: appreciation through effort

how unfathomably lucky i am to be here, to be a part of this fight, to be blessed with a moment of light on this timeline where i can make change and prove love. i cannot in my wildest dreams think of a greater gift than breathing with a beating heart and an electric brain, if only for a moment

“If autism isn’t caused by environmental factors and is natural why didn’t we ever see it in the past?”

We did, except it wasn’t called autism it was called “Little Jonathan is a r*tarded halfwit who bangs his head on things and can’t speak so we’re taking him into the middle of the cold dark forest and leaving him there to die.”

[rjthirsty]

1 DAY LEFT. Tomorrow, Bad Summer goes live on Kickstarter.

💘 Please back, share, or wishlist. Anything helps. Follow us on kickstarter to be notified when we launch!

👉 [Kickstarter Prelaunch Link]

We’re two indie devs who’ve spent years building this horror romance visual novel from scratch. Writing, coding, music, art direction, marketing…all done from our tiny apartment, with help from friends who believe in the story.

Bad Summer is about love, fear, grief, and impossible choices. It’s messy. It’s queer. It’s personal.

And now, it’s finally ready for the world.

Tomorrow also brings our biggest demo update yet: • New horror scenes • More voiced lines • Polished romance routes • New easter eggs • Performance fixes + visual upgrades

If you’ve been waiting to try it: now’s the time. If you’ve played it already: this update is for you.

We’ve done everything we can to get here. Tomorrow, we ask for your help to finish the game the way it deserves to be finished.

how to tell mutual hey i think ur really cool we should talk more but like also im bad at talking and am always exhausted

the things alloromantics consider "more than platonic" never cease to baffle me. cuddling? sleeping next to each other? petting each others' hair? kissing? telling each other how much you mean to each other? why WOULDN'T you do these things with your friends. why DO you need to be romantically attracted to someone in order to express your affection for them.

i guess all these things feel obviously platonic to me, because i've had my friends since we were all mentally ill autistic teenagers, but it feels absurd that some people think anything beyond a hug is automatically romantic. acts of affection and their intentions are defined by the people involved, nobody else. and frankly, some of you don't know how wonderful it is, to be a sleepy aromantic embraced on all sides by a group of people you'd trust your life with.

[rjthirsty]

I want to live in a world where aromantic people and asexual people don’t have to lie to our doctors and therapists about our orientations to avoid them attempting to “fix” us, find an “underlying cause” for who we are, or take us off necessary medications like antidepressants just in case they’re “suppressing our emotions”. I want to live in a world where openly experiencing a lack of romantic and/or sexual attraction is not a barrier to receiving adequate healthcare.
