uh, so I don't have a good ref for Toffee so I will make a very rough one temporarily.

The light brown doesn't have to be exact, I tend to change it on a whim 💀. She also has an inconsistent amount of fingers and toes sometimes she has four sometimes she has five.

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:

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.

OSOMATSU-SAN SEASON 4 OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOO

[unpretty]

okay i definitely need to mute notifications about that post before people defending my coworker or complaining about The Cloud tempt me into revealing Too Much Information. i mean i've already revealed too much information quite frankly but so it goes.

[frankensteined]

it's taunting me.........

[prince-liest]

it doesn’t mean so much coming from a stranger on the internet but i hope you’re feeling better from covid !

i was wondering your opinion on the relative toxicity of the punnet square of the possible radiostatic genderbends. imo from most to least healthy it would go m/m > f(al)/m(vox) >>> m(al)/f(vox) > f/f but what are your thoughts?

fwiw, the straight radiostatic fic you wrote a while back, lady’s first? i’m convinced it’s the greatest literary masterpiece of this generation + have reread it enough times to recite it from memory lmao. i’d kill or at least commit mild wrongdoings for fem al + vox.

anyway thanks for writing as you do, your fics are what got me into fandom as a whole and i always learn some new vocab from them.

Aw, thank you! I am feeling much better and back at work! (Which is labor & delivery atm which thankfully despite being a 12 hour shift typically includes time for naps, haha.)

I LOVE this question and have in fact pondered it in the past!! I almost fully agree with you, and I think the small point of my disagreement is dependent on what you even consider healthy/toxic. Here's my take on least to most toxic, with two asterisks: firstly, any M!Vox I write is probably at least implicitly trans; secondly, I write Alastor as agender and presenting per the gender roles raised with, which you might think makes for a less gender-role-susceptible character but in fact often does the opposite.

M!Vox/F!Alastor: Least toxic, largely as a function of Vox being raised alongside "how a gentleman treats a lady" manners and actually respecting Alastor('s terrifying nature) enough to apply them. She's not like other ladies (Madonna/whore)! Not to be confused with NOT being toxic, because any iteration of fem!Alastor is going to have a bunch of personal hangups re: gender role expectations and how they intersect with being aroace. Lifelong bachelor is unfortunately a more socially acceptable position than spinster or old maid.

M!Vox/M!Alastor: Slightly more toxic. You can extract a lot (but not all) of the misogyny, but as a direct consequence you have knocked down some of the nominal barriers to them choosing to be incredibly fucking violent, inconsiderate, and/or sleazy (mostly Vox for the latter).

F!Vox/M!Alastor: F!Vox is fucking unhinged but I simply do not think that Alastor would be interested in her like that. Women are to be respected and befriended, not dated. Insert some of the misogyny back in, this time from Alastor's well-intentioned but nonetheless condescending end, and a possible breakup if Vox doesn't back the fuck off eventually. She might fistfight Rosie, though, and Alastor would probably think that's awfully precocious of her.

F!Vox/F!Alastor: You think my radiostatic yaoi didn't know how to communicate, you have not MET my radiostatic yuri, who are actively refusing to do so for reasons ranging from self-consciousness to outright ill-intent. The most toxic by a large margin. I think Vox would take one look at misogyny and gender roles and use them to her advantage in any way possible, and Alastor would simply not want to reveal or reach out for help when she is feeling off-balance and also has gendered expectations regarding sex and relationships (desire for, experience of, and active/passive participation in) that jive poorly with her internalized aphobia, which Vox in turn would take advantage of. My happiest ending for these two amounts to Vox accidentally realizing that Alastor is capable of leaving, and also making Alastor feel bad makes her feel bad, too. Sometimes.

Also, I'm so fucking happy you enjoyed Lady's First! I had a great time writing it and thinking about the ways I think gender is an interplay with these two characters. It's definitely one of those fics that I'm really happy about how it turned out, and it always brings me joy when others like it as well, esp because I'm still coming from the mental frame of assuming my audience doesn't really care about reading shippy works that aren't m/m.

Thank YOU for reading my stuff, I can't believe I helped pull you into fandom overall! <3 I definitely have more planned once I get my burnout a little bit more under control, and I can't wait for the next season to make me Insane once more. >:}

well i hope the next baldurs gate update comes out earlier in 2025 rather than later because since i updated to patch 7 i can't get past the launcher without the game crashing. would love to play the game I spent $60 and 300 hours on

Woo got Linux working! On a related note I have gotten over any fear of breaking things through the command line and also can now roll back to an earlier system backup. Yes those are related. In my defense, breaking things in interesting ways is a great way to figure out what's actually going wrong.

im literally 22 and like in the prime of my youth my mind should be flexible and easily adaptable to new things and i consider myself kind of moderately tech-savvy and yet it will never stop amazing me that stuff like electric cars exist even though they've been around for ages by now i see an electric car when im outside and im like what the fuck what is this are we living in the year 2751 how have we learned to do that

[boughclan-clangen]

hi everyone! no page today, probably not sunday either. my pc has been out of commission for over a month so i've been drawing on my laptop--but i'm getting to the point where i really would like to 3d model my backgrounds to make them a little easier on me and give me more energy to experiment/make pages nicer, so i'm going to try to hold out until my pc gets fixed and i can do so for these next couple of pages.

it'll be a lot of front-loaded work, but it'll be worth it in the long run, i think!
