#First Installment:

[taintedsoul-if]

What to Expect from Dangerous Games — A Throne Beneath the Grave, First Installment:

Experience two forms of death

Choose your past life’s profession: were you an Imperial Physician, Grand Diplomat, or Warlord?

See the world through the eyes of the body you’ll inhabit after death

Partially customize your MC (more options unlock in Chapter 1)

And most importantly… die twice

Changes Made / Things Added to Tainted Souls:

Added *if statements for when the MC chooses not to pull Cailyn off the cliff

Reworked hair customization—players can now choose their preferred hair color

Introduced a stats chart to track Revenge, Good Life, and Uncertain paths; these will help shape future consequences based on your choices

What to Expect from Tainted Souls: Second Installment

Attend your ex-betrothed’s Welcoming Ceremony

Activate a hidden stat—or not (still debating whether to include it in the main stats screen)

Lose control of your abilities due to emotional remnants from your new body—and attack the original host’s murderers

Meet and briefly interact with two or three out of five romance options

Dig your own grave with your selected punishment

Learn more about the upcoming Armistice Competition.

Have breakfast with the imperial family

Remind Ragriel that you are the only child of the $!{surname2} household

As always, if you notice any inconsistencies with pronouns or spot any coding errors, please send them my way! I’ve run both randomtest and quicktest on these demos, along with my own read-through, edits, and tweaks. And you all know my ask box is always open—even if I take a loooong time to respond.

Also, I miscalculated earlier—Tainted Souls is now sitting at 85k words, and Dangerous Games is at 8k. I know some of you are probably itching to code dive, but I kindly ask for your patience. I still need to set aside a day to properly clean up the stats and startup pages. Until then—no code diving, sorry 🙇‍♀️.

If you’re enjoying what I’ve shared so far and want to support this lazy, introverted potato, you can treat me to a virtual chocolate! Totally optional, but always appreciated. Ko-Fi

So please enjoy—I hope you have as much fun with this update as I had writing it!

You can find the demos here:

Dangerous Games — A Throne Beneath The Grave Demo

Tainted Souls: Fables & Myth — The Bonded Awakening Demo

Oh! Before I forget—your saves will definitely be in shambles thanks to the new variables I added to the startup file.

Congrats GYX on the gay awakening <3 (Immortal alliance conference pt.1) (Next)

[ID: A Scum Villain Comic. Panel one first depicts Chibi!Plant Yuan sitting on a bench resting his head on his hands with a disgruntled look. A caption says "Waiting for Binghe to register as SQQ banned SY from participating due to 'past incidents'" His demonic butterfly floats in front of him. A voice from off-camera says "Shen-Gongzi?" a zoomed in Chibi!PY perks up in surprise and his butterfly hides. A non-chibi Gongyi Xiao is shown with has hands cupped in a martial salute and bright expression saying, "You're Peak Lord Shen's son right? This one is Gongyi Xiao from Huan Hua." A chibi PY in a box in the corner continues to look up in surprise with his hands slightly lifted from his face with thought bubbles saying 'Woah..so bright.. Kinda reminds me of Binghe.'

Panel two depicts a non-Chibi! PY looking up with a gentle smile with his hands in his lap, replying "Yes, this one is Shen Yuan! Are you here to participate in the Conference?" The rest of this panel is depicted in chibi form. GYX sits next to SY and responds, "This one is! Is Shen-Gongzi not?" to which SY closes his eyes with a disgruntled/tired look and places his head back in his hands, stating "My A-Die banned me. Said this one attracts too much demonic attention..." to which GYX points and says "Oh? Is that why you have that demonic butterfly?" Leading SY to have a panicked look, his thought bubble saying "Shit" whilst he verbally says "Please don't tell my A-Die I brought her."

The final panel has chibi!GYX raising his hands up to placate SY with an amused nervous expression saying "Don't worry! This one won't. It seems very friendly, with you especially." To which non-chibi!SY, now having his butterfly balanced on one of his hands, the other raised up as if to gently pet it, looks down fondly and says "Yes she is... She's been with me a long time." A very flustered Chibi!GYX replies softly "oh". End ID]

Big San Sequoia Townie Makeover.

Don't mind me, just thinking about a character recovering from an illness or injury. The danger has passed, but they're still weak and exhaustion follows them like a heavy cloud. Comfort food is brought regularly. Soft clothes. Blankets. Fuzzy socks.

Particularly, the image of them sleeping on a squashy looking couch. Maybe they kicked off the blankets. Golden sunlight bathes them in warmth, and it's heavenly. Their hair is fluffed and messy.

And their companion stops themselves in the threshold of the door, not wanting to disturb this rare moment of bliss. They're carrying a tray of warm food, and the steam catches in the sun's rays just right.

They smile. Lunch can wait.

hello! as some of you may know, i've been dealing with a lot of pain due to my wisdom tooth. i need to have it removed and of course, that involves quite a bit (both financially and technically). my parents will be able of helping me out a bit next month, but it's too expensive for us.

if you are able to help in any way, below there's the medical report (except for the highlighted item, which refers to an occlusal splint to manage nocturnal bruxism. it's too expensive, so i can't afford it)

my p*aypal: ianalsvn@gmail.com

R$464,23 / R$1.870

periodontal treatment

second periodontal treatment (40 days later)

third and last periodontal treatment (maintenance - 3 months later)

wisdom tooth removal (superior; left)

wisdom tooth removal (superior; right)

this amounts to R$1.870 or $336,33

Uhhh...I have a problem when it comes to the color pink, Final Fantasy, and neon things....I have no explanation for this either. It just happened. Like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

Links to my other social thingies are here if you wanna y'know, see what else I do.

I might also make this a print if people like it enough, buuuut we'll see. Shop's here if you click the word.

Also thinking about what irony it is that I would have enjoyed an actual "cozy game" themed around dragon age.

Idk, like. Unpacking. but the implications are Dark.

Circle mages unpacking their things as children brought to the Circle, the first Circle is. Idk. Monstimmard and it's probably fine. You're in the White Spire and there's bloodstains in your dorm room but it's Fine. Dairsmuid and it's actually very nice (FOR NOW...) Then it's Kinloch Hold and your room isn't actually a room, but it's. fine.

The last circle is Kirkwall and your room is a cell and you're confined to it and templar feet are passing before your door constantly. Also there is nothing to unpack.
