Jake being manipulative.

Me being manipulative too: *LAUGHING LIKE A MANIAC*

Jake and MC are idiots, but I love them way too much. xD

[lillydonfort]

Spoiler!

You KNOW the audience is real disappointed in the game when i haven't seen even one post celebrating that Jake is confirmed alive

[lyon-amore]

Someone saying they were going to complain because I didn't describe Jake as having blue eyes. Saying that although it doesn't say it in the game, the fandom chose that they were blue. I've seen different Jakes... And although most of us think they're blue, what about those of us who think they're not?

I'm tired of these comments, at this point I'm going to write the warning to turn around if they don't like it.

Maybe I'm exaggerating? Maybe, but when you receive the same comments over and over again, it's very exhausting, I just want to write how I imagine him, like everyone else, if they don't like it it's not my problem

Why don't they just focus on him being at least the same Jake and not a totally changed one? The Jake we fell in love with? 😩

[zmayadw]

Well Mr. Hacker, if you insist... I will gladly take the matter in my own hands! 😏🙈🤭

Sorry - Not sorry 😅 My mind is wandering in strange direction again! 😉

[mysticpetals]

Sorry guys but I won’t be playing Moonvale anymore. It’s way too paywalled for me and I’m too busy with my life to replay one episode 10 times to get diamonds and at this point in time, it’s just not feasible for me to give my time to something that does not make me happy.

I’m happy with any interaction about duskwood or romance club but moonvale has been a big disappointment and unfortunately, not enough to grasp a player’s attention/immersion.

Hello Willow,

I hope things are going well for you. I haven't been active on here in forever. I have to ask have you played Moonvale? What are your thoughts?

Hello Anon!

I am doing well, actually. Better than the last year and the last period, much better. Thank you for asking and I hope you're doing well as well! I do wanted to make a post of why I didn't posted anything and have been a ghost here, but I feel like people don't care a lot because I'm not active anymore as I used to be back then😅 I have the feeling someone even forget about me.

I haven't played it yet, these days I've been busy with other stuff but I am planning to watch it as soon as I get the chance to do so! My general thoughts are that it looks really interesting, but I came across a post on Reddit that said they suspect the creator used AI for one character or more (?). I've read some of it but couldn't understand a lot because I didn't even played it and can't really speak for it already. I also missed Jakey boy too😭 But yeah I will likely make a post what I think about Moonvale.

Anyhow, I am planning to draw more of Azure and other characters and I am planning to do other stuffs here as well! I am more fixated on an another fandom, but Duskwood still have my heart.❤

Have a great day, dear Anon!💕 (sorry for the grammar mistake- I spoke too much lol)

if this keeps getting worse......... i might have to stop playing

Ramblings of a daft woman

It’s no secret that I absolutely love to write smut and I will find a way to include it in almost everything I write 🤭 some might say I write “too” much smut, but they’d be wrong. It’s my happy place, especially when it’s challenging, and it’s where I find an escape into a land where nothing matters but how good you feel. And isn’t that the whole point of this writing thing? To write what you want to read, and what makes you feel good? I think so.

Throughout the process of writing Marked Me Like a Bloodstain, I worried there was too much smut and that people were sick of it. So I tried cutting back for a bit despite the fact no one ever said anything negative. They might’ve been thinking it, I won’t deny that, but I was miserable. It didn’t stop the worrying either because the mind just finds something else to bitch about. Where is the fun in that? Not everyone will like the smut I write or the way I write it, but I do. I love the days I know I have a scene to write and dread the days I don’t. The same is true for any writer. Not everyone will like what you write but plenty more will love it. Write what brings you joy, not what you think other people want and you’ll never be stuck or upset. Feedback is amazing and we love to get it, always grateful, but don’t let it dictate what you write. It’ll only make you resent your stories.

Awkward preamble aside, I can never just get to the point, thank you for reading my filthy imaginings. I am always so grateful that people enjoy them. Those words never feel enough but they’re all I have. Thank you❤️

(The meme popped up on my Facebook feed and started this whole spiel. Thank that! See you later😘)

Wow it's been a while since a draw anything about duskwood. I was missing drawing these two and decided to make this silly joke.

Bonus:

Ray knows that Jake gets embarrassed when she says that kind of thing. It's all on purpose.

[angie-01040]

What patience? 😑😑😑

[hacked-by-nymos]

Hey Ho

Can you send in any kind of moodboard theme, if you have something? Like Jake x MC or a different character (Since I also have some followers from other fandoms I can try that as well :)). I don't know. Just like a topic you want it about etc.? Just any inspo. Of course you can be as specific as you want to. But I need something to do. So if you have anything, send it in :)

Thank you and take care! 💚

[hacked-by-jake]

Do you think Jake can drive? And if so, what kind of car does Jake drive? 🤔

I kind of have the headcanon that a SUV fits Jake, I don’t know why. But I can only imagine Jake in a high and black SUV.

I would love to hear what you think. :)

[cathybarn]

Hmmm...

Okay, is it surprising? Nope.

Does my anxiety say "thank you" for this, knowing it will be more and more waiting between episodes? No.

Is it a clever decision for them? YES.

Even if we complain about the waiting, the cliffhangers and all, I think it's the waiting that make us as active here in the fandom as we are. We need this period of waiting to calm down, to create fanfiction, fanarts and theories and to comunicate with each other, which is one of the best parts about Duskwood.

I will never forget the rush that I felt since I joined the fandom, in episode 7. Every teaser, every clue and post... and when chapter 10 came out? WOW.

So yeah, nice. The waiting make the new chapters so much sweeter

[lyon-amore]

Imagine....

You are sleeping peacefully in bed, with Jake by your side. He is awake, watching you. He takes your hand and kisses it gently.

You open your eyes and look up. Jake looks at you with a smile, with eyes full of love. You reciprocate with a happy smile.

There is no morning that Jake doesn't leave a kiss on your skin.

Okay, so I feel a bit calmer this morning, even though I still feel very much sad and disappointed with the whole Moonvale thing, but I'd like to share a few thoughts with you all, both bad and good, concerning the game.

And if you know me by now, you also know I can't write short posts expressing myself, so feel free to skip this long post! 😅

Alrighty, so let's begin:

From the moment Everbyte announced Moonvale I was very excited. As Duskwood was an amazing game, I only expected for the new game to be even more amazing. Logical, right? I never expected it to be a Duskwood sequel, and that was absoluetly ok for me, because no matter how much we all wanted and hoped for it, I was more than willing to give the team that made so wonderful and amazing game as Duskwood a chance to amaze me once more. And when they said that Duskwood will be a part of the new game as a side story, that excitement was only getting bigger.

And so here we are, two agonizing years of waiting later, only to be welcomed with this huge disappointment.

When I started with Moonvale, I really took it slowly, exploring everything carefully before even opening the chat and actually starting with the game and the story itself. And lo and behold, what do I see? No possibility for a premium package, but a lot of options for a ridiculously priced packages to buy jewels for, at that moment, who knew what, but I had a suspicion what it was for. Nonetheless, I dissmissed it for the time being, even though it was getting me a bit frustrated, and decided to move on and start with the story.

The story itself started quite good. I even started to laugh at one point realizing and thinking to myself Gosh, those Everbyte people really like the woods! The character/actor of Eric is nice, I like him, even though he seemes to be pretty clumsy! 😄

Now, the actor/character of Adam is probably the one of the rare things that amazed me from the start! His performance was so great, and I think I read it in someones post this morning how someone also thought he looks alike Rami Malek, and that was my first thought, too! Ok, so far not bad at all one would think, right? Wrong!

At first I didn't really pay attention to, or even realized it, but as other characters started to appear in the game, everything started to scream AI. The chats with those characters just didn't really feel right, you know? And I was really appalled by it. I mean, come on Everbyte, did we really come to this? Are you doubting in your capability of creating something great so much, when we know you damn well CAN do it? Or has the usage of AI became so much needed/mandatory ( I don't know what word to put here really or to explain it better), that you cannot do anything without it? Considering so many creators of all kinds are fighting so hard to stop it from being used in everything, I suppose no. But then again, I don't know if my knowledge about it is sufficient enough, but I can voice out my opinion, and I don't like it at all!

Ok, I have to admit, the chat with Ash about us and Duskwood wasn't bad,or the chat between Ash and Charlie about us, but that is all good(ish) I can say about that.

By this time I was really getting annoyed and frustrated, and as some of you might saw one of my post from yesterday, when it gotten really interesting in the story and my insufficient amount of jewels prevented me from seeing some photos/videos, I was so fucking angry and disappointed that I was very VERY close to just drop the whole thing and stop playing. But I continued, just for the sake to finish it.

And when I finally did finish it, not even the last video of Alan's body camera, or the message after that from Jake, lifted my spirit. All I could think of was how sad and disappointed I was. :(

I really expected an amazing and great game from Everbyte, considering Duskwood is one of THE BEST games I have played. But to get money grabbing, AI screaming thing, that was looking so promising...it just saddens me. I know they need to make money somehow, I'm well aware of it, but not like this. Not like this!

Will I continue playing it? Yes, I probably will, but mostly because I want to see how it will continue with the Duskwood sidestory. Also, I read people are considering using the mod pack if/when it becomes available so they can see the premium/special options, but I won't do that. I don't judge anyone here, do what you want, this is just my opinion, but no matter what, I still have respect towards the creators, and using those mod packs just doesn't feel right to me.

So again, yes, I will continue with Moonvale, but neither will I pay for special options (unless they by some miracle make it like with Duskwood, which I doubt but one can hope!), nor will I use the mod pack of any kind. And I really REALLY hope by all thats sacred, that as the Duskwood side story advances, those jewels won't be necessary to use there, because in that case, that's it from me, sayonara/ goodbye/farewell/adios to Moonvale completely. At least I will always have Duskwood.

Thanks to anyone who managed to read till the end! 💚 Take care all, and let's hope that all this won't get any more worse than it already is!
