Got to watch @alexis-royce livestream his wip game Nonplatonic Forms, a horror visual novel about a human vs a dying old god.

I’m…. Real soft, for something that has some serious psychological horror u guys.

Lee and Diegesis are nowhere near so soft as of yet. There’s no way Diegesis would give up someone like Lee, not when his literal life is on the line. He’s desperate and it certainly holds higher priority than this one human.

But even as it is there’s so much fun energy between such contrasting people, who are both still wholly passionate about things even when they disagree. And despite the stakes, there’s a palpable mutual respect between the two. I can’t wait to see how their game develops.

Stanley and Narrator for the starter prompt: “please don’t let me forget your voice.”

ohhhhhohohoho, i needed to chew on this one for awhile to get the right words out but hoo boy. you know how to hit it where it hurts

also i know you were probably aiming for something a lil closer to canon possibly smth to do with the skip button but you handled that p handily BUT im still marinating an Idea... so heres a taste of that

warning: zombies

-PLS DNT LT ME FRGT UR VCE

Stanley looked up through the broken window. Jagged shards of dirty glass rose up from the frame like teeth, scattering the moonlight that filtered through into a muddy kaleidoscope. It would have been pretty, in another time. Another life.

He fingered the scuffed and scratched old pager. Battery was getting low. He'd need to charge it soon, but that required sunlight, and sunlight required him leave this little corner of safety he'd dug out among the rust and rubble.

He could still hear the groans, the slick wet meaty sounds of the dead feeding outside. He hoped it was only some unlucky wildlife caught this time. It probably wasn't.

-U SD CHK IN THS WK. LST WK. LST WK 2

Shuddering, Stanley curled up tighter. His clothes were crusted with who-knows-what, blood and dirt and the oozing decay that seemed to coat the whole world, but he was used to it, he was used to it all even though thinking about it too long made his skin crawl. He just pushed it to the back of his mind along with everything else he had to to just keep going, along with thoughts of his life from Before and worries about his old acquaintances and fear for the voice, his guide, his friend who he couldn't hear anymore but who promised to not leave him behind like all the others-

Another wrenching meat sound, closer, made Stanley flinch. He stilled so completely one might have mistaken him for one of their victims, breath caught and fear swallowed like a deer in the headlights, a mouse in a trap. He froze as the sickening crunch, crunch sawed in his ears and only breathed again as heavy, dragging footfalls moved away.

The pager in his hand still read no response. The low-battery light blinked red and forlorn at him.

Stanley had never felt so alone.

-CNT DO THS W/OUT U

A world away, in a room full of antennae and computers that blinked and alerted of messages received and awaiting transmission, the lone door, once barred and safe, hung open, ripped off its hinges.

Amidst the faint beeping of unread pages, there was only a slow, steady plip, plip, plip.

Me & the Wife 🥰

[hussyknee]

Re-reading Boyfriend Material after a long time. I had forgotten how fucking cute this book is. I adore every character anew. Re-reading Luc and Oliver's disastrous first date with my chin in my hands. They're so adorably awkward. Oliver is the autistic representation we deserve and Luc is the perfect ADHD depression kid. Together they're unstoppable.

“Your…your job?” I asked with all the smoothness of a bowl of granola.

“Ah. Yes. Well, I”—this time, his foot only stroked the side of mine as it jiggled under the table—“specialise in criminal defence. And you might as well get it over with.”

“Get what over with?”

“The question that everyone asks when you tell them you work in criminal defence.”

This felt uncomfortably like failing an exam. In a blind panic, I blurted out the first thing that came into my head. “Do you have sex in the wig?”

Peerless.

To all my fellow Castle and caskett shippers, after a long 6-7 year hiatus (holding a grudge because of Stana's treatment) I am back watching my fave show from start to finish (I haven't seen S8 at all, so I've mentally prepped myself for what I've been told is going to be very rocky}

To celebrate my return, I made a short video edit and one of my favorites too. So enjoy and feel free to tell me what you think, either here or on YT

The most remarkable thing Alexis Hall did was create two characters named James Royce, who married and both became James Royce-Royce.

Oh, and write some pretty great books.

“When he awoke, Stanley fell backward, scrambling away from the skip button. The room was dark, and Stanley could hear repetitive, rhythmic muttering.”

I know I’m a bit late to this party but I read Whatever the Opposite of a Speedrun Is back in December and it has not left my brain since

@alexis-royce is an incredible writer!

[the-dye-stained-socialite]

What started as an ink trade turned into an art trade and well!!! I received this lovely artwork from @alexis-royce of my OC Elias Leroux as an early birthday gift!!!! There's a lovely depth of color here that I just had to bring a light out to properly capture!!! Words cannot do this drawing justice!!!

[the-insouciant-scientist]

Finally, after long last, I'm done! A character lineup for @the-dye-stained-socialite's fic Take a Bow, written during the Fallen London Fic Swap! I got very inspired by all the descriptions of characters and costumes and went uh. A little nuts. Can't say they're all accurate as historical stage costumes go, but I think they look cool as hell, so!

Characters and who they belong to under the cut! Because there's quite a few of them.

Jamie Awnings, @thedeafprophet

Elias Leroux, @the-dye-stained-socialite

Rook, @moonstruck-stormy

Irving Merritt and Harper Faraday, (me)

Jules, @thedandy-detective

Orsinio Elderwood, @house-of-mirrors

And finally,

The Ex-Disgraced Academic, @alexis-royce :-)

@alexis-royce thanks to you I'm obsessed with this absolute gremlin

[doodlingbot]

I've never played any VR games so I don't have any experience with crumpled VR avatars. But I have played Bethesda games! So I like to imagine it sounds like when you walk into a room and an object is out of sight going crazy with the collision.

Idea SNATCHED from @alexis-royce [Let me know if I for whatever reason shouldn't tag you for this sort of stuff]
