DE i am speaking directly into your ear again
youve opened up a whole new thing by creating a messaging system in 1999 so do not abandon it after one update
give us more text exchanges every few updates or smth, let the hex tell us about their pasts, let them send us updates on how theyre doing when we arent there and vice versa, let me wish my romance choice a happy valentines day during star days via text

help i'm alive
So! Long time, no see. 2023 was a whole goddamn lot lol
I don't have a demo update to share yet, but that's because I had to scrap nearly everything I managed to write during a very, very, very bad stint of writer's block last year. I hadn't even realized it had been a block like that until I went over my work so far last month and realized it was bad -- like, trust me; a slog to read that didn't even sound like me. It's been extremely frustrating but I've finally broken free of that and it's been easy and actually fun to write again for the first time in actual years. I just hate giving updates that have no actual news in them. And I really had nothing to share other than: I deleted thousands of words and feel so much better now 😅
Anyway, little about my demo plans have changed: I'm still putting out the Chapter 3 demos in Choicescript/on Dashingdon and then will be going dark to move things over to Twine. Where I am in the process right now is... feeling like 35% done with the overhauled version of this chapter and 50% done for the next demo update.
As far as asks, I'm... not really sure what to do?? I believe I've read them all (I love you guys), but so much time has passed since getting most of them that I'm not sure if it's, like... still pertinent??? To go back and answer them?? I suppose some of them like character asks could be, but all the nice messages of support -- that feels weird since I've practically ghosted this blog since August! Idk. Y'all tell me what to do with 'em and I'll do it. Maybe I should make a poll.
Uh... that's really all there is to say regarding the game! I've added some personal stuff after the cut, but if you're done here: Thanks for reading and sticking around. It means the world, for real.
So what has occupied my time all this time? Doctor, therapy, money, and friends. And improv! But especially the first two. There was a lot of non-writing related stuff fucking up my ability to focus and write, so hopefully with my mind and body both feeling a lot better, I can get back to being present and active with the game. I didn't realize how physically unwell I was until last year and it's been like... life-long issues I've been treating. It turns out it's not normal to feel exhausted enough to sleep at any given time, at all times, for your whole life! wow!!
I also uninstalled Tumblr from my phone back in February, so you could say I'm sort of generally focused on offline life. (And what an interesting coincidence that my writer's block dissipated shortly after that...) I also just moved!! The last two weekends have been so expensive and stressful -_- But I can't even compare the old place to the new. We're basically paying the same price for idek how much more space. The cats are so happy; which means the house humans get to be happy.
My schedule is finally freed up from constant medical shit (there was a 3-month stretch this winter with multiple doctor appointments literally every fucking week 🙃🙃🙃). My mental health is doing a lot better -- literally incomparably better compared to where I was this time last year. There's live comedy now (which I dabble in, to be clear lol), but I've finally found myself able to like... balance it all. The physical and creative energy that goes into it all, anyway. The lovely thing about improv is that you kinda just show up and do your thing -- it doesn't cut into my writing time so much as it costs energy. Unless I end up in this comedy debate show thing next month, which I am very excited to give up writing time for
So like... Life is life-ing and I'm just vibing. Or something? I'll be around.
Thank you all again so much for your interest, support, patience, and readership <3

i dont know if this is a strange compliment but the way you dissect art is so amazing and something i can only aspire to do one day. you pick up on every little symbolism its wonderful! hope youre having a good day btw!
Oh, thank you! It's so nice to hear you think so!
I don't know about picking up on every little symbolism, but I really like art and I like talking about art. I'm just trying to look at it thoughtfully and (in some cases) do my best to let the artist know I paused to appreciate and ponder the piece.

Heyo everyone! It’s me Spottie, and in a couple weeks I will be moving! I am heading from California to Wisconsin, because of my home being a little more toxic than I would like and I need to get out. After two years of being at my home, and my mom passed away things have gotten rocky. So me and my cat Koda are moving in with a good friend.
So! I am having a little sale at the moment, that’s right for 10 bucks you too can get a cute chibi drawing that is fully colored and anything (within reason) you want! Want more characters it’ll be an added cost, but what a steal!
All you have to do is donate on my Ko-fi and let me know what you’d like in return! You’ll find it here!
You can either DM me here or email me at
[email protected] if you have an OC you’d like me to draw with references and what not! If you want an actual commission you can find that on my pinned post here!
Don’t worry if you do not have the funds, I appreciate all the reblogs and support y’all give me!
Thank you guys so much!

I know a sorta made a small post along these lines the other day, but something a lil more official of!!
im kinda broke rn, between the recent stuff with losing my car and having to get a new one and work literally scheduling me 13 hrs a week. Im slowly losing money and it got really bad this month after paying my bills and everything and realizing I had just 300 bucks in my bank account.
My current job hasn't been working with me to give me the hours i need to make a living wage and iv been trying to get a new job for months with no success and it's looking like i could really use a lil extra support via online commission work rn until I can land a more solid paying job. I really hate to sound like a desperate wet cardboard box beast but I still need to insure my new car and cant afford it as i stand right now.
I wont ask for donations, I think im going to be fine, but a lil money to help keep my head above the water would be great so im just gonna promo my commission work. To anyone who can commission me in some way or another would be awesome! I appreciate any support I can get rn even just a reblog

Hello, did you think Disco Elysium was too cheerful and easy to play? To aesthetically appealing and enjoyable as a game play experience? Do you want to play a game that that guy who did the james somerton plagiarism video once described as "a pain simulator" and "translated into English by a mystical Russian rat who only speaks in riddles?" do you have a dollar thirty(1.30Usd) that you hate and want to get rid of?
May I offer for your consideration, Pathologic. The best game for sad weirdos to make the corner stone of their personalities for years to come. Also Pathologic 2. It's better and doesn't require you to have played 1 because the devs know what they did. but its not 1.30 rn.
It is on steam deck. The perfect game to curl up with and enjoy alongside some sort of intoxicant. I am very excited about this bc I never got to finish it and need to drag as many people into this hole with me as possible.
come to Pathologic. We have bulls. little girl with blood magic and an evil version of herself. A furry who wants to kill you. Danny dankovsky :)
