TWF or "The Wallflowers" is an upcoming slice of life and coming-of-age Visual Novel coded and made entirely by me as my long-term passion project! It will have character creation, be fully voice-acted, and have custom music! I've been in the process of creating it since 2020.
The story centers around three young adults: Ashley, Camille, and Peyton, who each have their own character growth, issues, and personal challenges to face near the end of their first semester of college.
In the game after the introduction and choosing to shadow one of the girls, You take the role of a disembodied person (?) that only the respective girl can see and communicate with. Kinda like you're their subconscious helping them through the end of the semester. The game doesn't have as much of a 4th wall as the girl (depending on which one you choose!) you shadow will most likely be speaking to *you* rather than the person you're pretending to be.
That's as much as I can say without giving away the big plot bc there are multiple endings and a secret ending too.

My earliest memory of being scared is hearing “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd” from the original 1979 cast recording. I was both terrified and fascinated by Len Cariou’s portrayal. As a kid, I learned all the lyrics to songs like ‘Johanna’ and ‘My Friends’ and would sing them constantly. The 2007 film by Tim Burton only deepened my obsession and it became my dream to play Sweeney Todd in some capacity. The “Bleeders” music video fulfills this wish in so many ways. A huge thank you to @jensennoen and his incredible team for creating my favorite video we have ever done, to @erikron for helping us craft the song, to my BVB brothers for their passion, creativity and constant hard work, our label @spinefarmrecords for their full fledged support and belief in the concept, and to all of YOU for making it possible for us to do this in the first place. This project is a dream come true.

Hi! Hope you're having a wonderful day/night! I was hoping you could help me find a faceclaim since you seem to be the master of doing that.
I'm looking for afro-indigenous faceclaims, any gender is fine, and preferably in the early 20s-late 30s age range. Also, my characters are superheroes, so any with resources with superpowers/magic would be amazing, but totally not necessary!
Thank you so much!!!
Nyla Rose (1980) Oneida / African-American - is a trans woman - is older than your age range but is a wrestler so that'd be perfect for your superhero vibes!
Thundercat / Stephen Lee Bruner (1984) Comanche, African-American.
Ravyn Ariah Wngz (1984) Mohawk, Tanzanian, Afro-Bermudian - is a Two-Spirit trans woman (she/her) - is pro Palestine!
Dana Solomon / Dana Jeffrey (1988) Ojibwe, Cree, Afro-Guyanese, Icelandic - is queer.
Joan Smalls (1988) Puerto Rican [Taino, Indian, Spanish] / Afro-Virgin Islander, Irish.
Shauna Baker (1989) Dakelh, African-American.
Kota Eberhardt (1989) Lakota Sioux / African-American.
Shannon Baker (1989) Dakelh, African-American - is bisexual.
Billie D. Merritt (1990) Comanche, Choctaw, African-American.
Shareena Clanton (1990) Blackfoot, Cherokee, African-American, Wangkatha, Yamatji, Noongar, Gija - is pro Palestine!
Ellyn Jade / Jade Willoughby (1990) Ojibwe, Jamaican [Taino, Afro-Jamaican, British], Nigerian, Swedish, Irish, German, French, Belgian - is Two-Spirit (she/her) - is not straight (otherwise unspecified) and has Nephrotic Syndrome and Celiac’s Disease.
Kehlani (1995) African-American, Blackfoot, Cherokee, Mexican, Filipino, White, possibly Choctaw - is a non-binary womxn and is a lesbian (they/she but prefers they) - is pro Palestine!
Okay so i gotta talk about Gen V ep 5 or am gonna explode!
And gotta talk about The Boys S4 spoilers for 2 reasons... 1) something mentioned by Dr Cardosa in the episode and 2) the VoughtHQ twitter leaker... mainly cuz am getting this after trying to check on a leak from season 4... their twitter also wont load for me... like can we just let Becca Saunders rest? Can her poor life stop being milked for manpain??
Spoilers under cut obvi.
First-- off congrats Marie and Jordan I hope you 2 get married and be the power couple this universe needs.
Second here its out Butcher cameo lol. I think this is from S1 after killing madelyn but seeing him in a beanie its so weird altho there is a Homelander article in the same page so who knows.
Third-- Cate you poor bitch!! I felt so betrayed but i dont doubt she its being brainwashed/groomed by Dean Shety so maybe she can be redeemed and her powers are too strong.... i dont doubt that there its a chance she its involved in who appears in ep 6 if thats not a halucination.
Fourth-- Dr. Cardosa mentioning a virus to deal with them... so i guess thats how we r gonna deal with the supe population and why i think the vought hq leak might be real as it mentions the virus as well... i think its super interesting that Vought its developing a virus to kill supes, i guess stan edgar did had a way to make V24 viable despite having supes and maybe a way to get rid of Homelander... by giving him the common cold i guess.
Fifth-- am glad that Maverick is another bisexual king but its the bestiality jokes necessary?? altho I assume his alpaca gf Sloane its just a shapeshifter. So far we got Marie, Jordan, Emma, Cate and Andre as our bisexual monarchs and thats basically the whole cast sans Sam... absolutely iconic Kripke, best apology after fucking up Dean Winchester but i wont forgive you for what u did... still thank you.
Sixth-- the pv for the next ep has fucking Soldier Boy!!! Deep down i feel he its most likely a halucination... saw some ppl theorizing that Cate its mindstorm daughter and she witnessed Mindstorm getting killed by SB so she will use her powers to send them to a mind prison to fight SB which is absurd but i doubt SB its there unless Cate's powers were use to brainwash soldier boy and use him as a weapon in the future, as his powers r too good plus is Vought wants to kill all supes then it makes sense for them to team up with the american govt and have SB as back up while they work with the Superona.
Seventh-- i only now noticed there its a wall poster for homie and loneliness on those school mental health ads which is sad and funny.
Eight-- overall great episode loved how much its happening and its only been days inside the canon, and fuck Rufus! How its the next 3 eps gonna kill me!! Like its too freaking much!!
And finally this shit...
I would not be surprised if this virus is the one being developed in The Woods by Vought, second if this is real then Butcher its a complete pos and a hypocrite i expect the following scenarios of: a) during the time Becca was raped or the wk she went missing thats when Butcher cheated on Becca so its not hatred that motivated his revenge against Homelander but guilt for cheating on his wife... probably with his married fbi plug if i had to take a guess. Or B) Becca learned of his affair decided to have her own affair with Homelander tried to end it which resulted in her S.A. which its why Homelander doesnt see what he did as rape bcuz i guess its not assault if its ur GF/Wife in his mind.
And i guess he takes V or the V24 never left his body unless some Supe can give powers which cause Butcher to use them am so confused is he like a power conduit???
I am gonna say Frenchie or MM will die in this story unless by main characthers they mean any of the Seven, Vought execs or Neuman... doubt Hughie, Starlight, Kimiko or Homelander are gonna die in S4.... but maybe Ashley who knows.
And finally giving cookies to Ryan did like HL saw the tumor felt sad for Butcher and decided to let him see Ryan? or did Ryan just sneaked out and met Billy??
2. your fav genre? sci-fi for sure!!
14. an overrated book? i absolutely hated red, white & royal blue by casey mcquiston! 😭💀 mostly because all the political stuff was just so horrible - i don't understand how anyone who considers themselves a leftist, for example, could stomach the level of milquetoast liberalism and democratic party worship that the author is obviously on... and the pop culture references were insufferable as well.
7. your least fav book trope? i had to put this one after number 14 because if pop culture references count as a trope, that's one i hate. definitely not intertextuality as a whole, mind you, but like... randomly namedropping popular stuff instead of using connections to other pieces of media/art as actual meaningful threads to build your theming or as a motif or whatever.
28. the last book you read? did you like it? the last two i finished were the first two books in the the rule of one trilogy by ashley and leslie saunders! i was lured in to read the first book by the unique concept of identical twin co-authors writing about identical twin protagonists & expected the book itself to be bad/boring dystopian ya. but it turned out to be decently written and quite entertaining so i decided to continue the series! the politics are pretty cringy in these books too - as you might glean from the premise "identical twins trying to survive in a one-child policy usa", they've got some reeeeally thinly veiled anti china stuff in there, as well as some american exceptionalism sap. but i can still recommend the series to anyone who enjoys the genre or just wants to nostalgize about the dystopian ya craze of the early 2010s with something written a bit more recently!
