HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BESTEST WIDDLE SNAKEY WAKEY.

I can't believe my son is 18!! I estimated a birth date for him to be about a month before I got him in fall of 2006, since he was such a widdle month-old baby sneky. I always try to get a good birthday pic of him - especially after he eats and gets the good yawns in.

Pretty soon, he'll be off to snake college, for snakes. Dunno how we're gonna afford those ssssnudent loans.

Image description below the cut:

First photo is an albino corn snake (species name: Pantherophis guttatus) peeking out from behind a fake flower on a rocky hide (a house inside the tank where reptiles can feel secure and hidden). The snake is flicking his tongue out. Only his head is visible in the photo. Caption on the photo reads: Demo's 18th birthday. August 9, 2024.

Next photo is the same snake, but in a clear, close-up, detail photo. Each scale is clearly defined. He has red eyes and pink cheeks, and pale white patterns on an off-white body. The scales on his head are shaped to follow the different planes of his face. The scales on his neck (and body, not shown) are uniform and scallop-shaped.

The next three photos are sequential. The same snake appears with his mouth barely open. Then, his mouth is wide open in a yawn. His cheeks look so smooshy. His head is shaped the way a snap hairclip opens, curved upwards, and it's funny and cute. His mouth has ridges inside, but no teeth or fangs are visible (because his teeth are too tiny to be photographed politely, and he does not have any fangs). The last photo in the sequence has the snake with his mouth still open, but the top of his head is a normal shape again as he begins to end the yawn.

This was really rushed, I'm sorry (Dev log #18)

Hi guys! I had to do an early update on the game (here is the link if you can't find it: https://yal-armstong.itch.io/scaperat-the-demo), because a hurricane might come to where I am (literally just realized I misspelled its name, it's Beryl. sigh), and I'm not sure what's going to happen other than obviously panic buying and people fueling up on gas. So, I updated the demo, because I've been planning to on Monday, but then after hearing about the hurricane, I decided it's for the best to update it now. I'd be really mad if we have a power outage or wake up next to a crocodile on Monday.

However, in the very unlikely chance that I break several promises (death), the person who probably will have access to my computer will have to upload the current build of ScapeRat (looks at bestie, I'm sure she'll be fine LOL). I don't think that'll happen though. We've survived Harvey in 2017.

ANYWAYS, there aren't a lot of changes. However, the way to get to the other house has changed (it's now a car.... guess which one guys) and I think I made the magpie room less confusing. I hope so at least, lol. You can also click on their computer now. Tell me what y'all think about the (minimal) new stuff if you find it!!! (I apologize if you get mad about the questions though LMAO) the password is fartmaster553 to the magpie's computer in the game because I think it's funny. Also all the answers are in lowercase. I'm not proud of this update. I'm sorry if you guys are disappointed.

Anyways, we're stocking up on food, moving our favorite things upstairs, and praying nothing bad happens. I'll see ya'll if we still got power and I kept my promises. Bye y'all!!!!

i think what gets me about the demo ending so much is for years the first and only time i played it was in 2016 and it was my introduction to the game, so by the time i played it again in 2022 i had entirely forgotten everything about it, and when i DID play it again i was already at the point where i was playing tspud for hours and hours every single day, those empty halls became comforting. That ending building up that beautiful speech about freedom only for those elevator doors to open up to that same room i'd seen a thousand times. a place that had become safe and welcoming becoming twisted into the isolating monotonous nightmare it always was, feeling my feet sinking into the indents left in the carpeting from the amount of times i've taken those same steps. looking out the windows for the first time in ages only to see the cold white glow starring back at me. a narrator tired of narrating and a player too deep in thought to play. not an ending, a stalemate.

[demonir]

watched a zenless zone zero character demo video and it was sooooooooo cool but then i remembered the game isn't gonna be half as cool or enjoyable as the video bc it's a hoyoverse game so here I go imagining a better game in my head instead of downloading it ✌️

you’ve tasted love and it tasted sweet

you drank the blood and bit the meat

when you hold it, if it cries

you should let it go

You know when a new trailer releases for Wizard with a Gun you gotta update your old fanart!

I know you're here only for the night, And I know that I was naïve to Think I would be safe with the big bad wolf. Now I lie to myself, And pretend that you'd never do me any harm - Never mind the bite marks up my arm.

It's dark at the bottom of the ocean, Where you always leave me to drown. Now I don't know which way is up. So I'm sinking, Buried beneath all of The rolling ocean waves - Weighed down By my insufferable apathy.

The glass shatters as you call my name, But I'm already sinking beneath The suffocating ocean waves. I have no reason to Stay here with you, nor leave a single trace of My life. So just let me sink back to the ocean floor.

It's dark at the bottom of the ocean, Where you always leave me to drown. Now I don't know which way is up. So I'm sinking, Buried beneath all of The rolling ocean waves - Weighed down By my insufferable apathy.

I'm begging for a life raft, But you think it's funny whenever I'm drowning. You let me die faceless, and You let me die without relinquishing my name.

I am not your meager settlement for A lifetime of pain - No, I'm Actually human, unlike you. And I can't Go on when I know you're sizing me up. Yeah, I see you licking your chops. Don't know why you'd expect me to stay here.

You won't save me so long as I Don't resemble your long-lost polar bear. You can't piece together the Shards of a mirror you broke so long ago.

If anyone can sew me Back together, It's me.

Are you the "I have strong feelings about parchment" Tumblr user? If not, I feel like I saw you might know who they are. I was going to put parchment in a fic, but then I was like "no, I can't do that without asking the Parchment Person first because I don't want to get it Wrong."

...no, but I know the post you're talking about, and I too have strong feelings about parchment, esp because I've worked on it before.

I took an illumination course while getting my illustration degree and did an "H.M." in the style of a medieval manuscript on a small piece of the stuff.

Parchment is not paper. It's cured calf or pig skin.

It's thick, and HARD like non-corrugated cardboard. If it's been stored in a roll, it does not want to unroll. If it's been stored flat, it does not want to roll. It's got the same texture as skin, because it IS skin, and you have to account for that while working on it. It smells like rawhide. It actually takes ink in a really interesting way- there's a half-second to blend of fix something before it actually sinks into the parchment, but it doesn't bleed once it's in there. It also never comes back out. It's not bright white like paper, almost a buff color, and white stands out on it.

Fascinating stuff. Actually pretty fun to work on, but it's definitely a medium for highly polished and important pieces (like illuminated manuscripts), not for casual note-taking (because it's MAD EXPENSIVE to make)

I should go hit up the local art stores and get different paper-and-other-art-media samples to demo for everyone for fanfic purposes because they are VERY different things that have different purposes, prices, origins, and societal connotations, all of which can be used in your writing.

Does a Can of Coke Float in Water? Diet or Regular?

I’ve got two cans of coke, one regular coke and one diet coke. The question is what will happen if I put them into a tank of water will they sink, or will they float?Let’s find out.This is a fun demonstration to do with a class to investigate floating/sinking and density. You could also use it to look at the amount of sugar in our foods! To explain what happens, we need to look at the…

Headcanon where Gale is the famous professor in the academy for being one of the few professors who actually had a great perilous adventure but none of the students (and some staff too) believe it really happened.

Like they file it away as one of those things where he probably just saw it at the sidelines not really like thick in battle since he has the orb to worry about.

Until finally one day Gale holds a special series of seminars/demonstrations for in the field spellcasting for fights or crisis. He invited all the party members he could in these seminars

Suddenly a former shar worhipper, gith, vampire, devil, is that the blade of frontiers(?), the legendary jaheira and the hero of baldurs gate just are there to help the demo/seminar.

A nighttime demo for Astarion, A lesson on how to cast light spells and be alert for rogues. Not to mention how to maintain concentration when you get shot by an arrow, Gale will say as Astarion shoots an arrow at him. ( at some point an arrow does sink in Gale's shoulder and the whole class freezes but Gale just tuts disapprovingly while Astarion just acts innocently like he doesnt have a longbow in his hand)

Karlach makes a demo on how to distinguish devils and how to kill them. She and Gale also show how to deal with a raging barbarian in a fight as a wizard, Hint human shields i mean tanks companions are important.

Wyll is charming the socks of the audience and shows self-defense tactics when an enemy too close. Oh yes he used to be a warlock but his patron was a devil so he had to cut ties with her

Shadowheart talks about healing spells and being aware of the your companions healths. She especially emphasizes the importance of being able to self heal in emergencies especially for wizards while giving pointed looks at Gale while Gale awkwardly(or guiltily?) shuffles and clears his throat

Laezel talks about the battlefield positions and best placement of wizards in the field to help the strongest soldiers and she also shows which of the body parts they should aim their spells. (I like imagining Laezel having her baby strapped on her while doing her demo or using her baby to show which body parts)

And after a while the students realize with how Gale seamlessly shows or helps in the demos that omg maybe professor Dekarios did help save the baldurs gate

Hello folks! I'm back with good news!

First off, let me get the development update out of the way. These past months writing has been difficult due to health issues regarding my hands, but I've still managed to get some work done and make progress on the demo. The updates have been Patreon/Kofi exclusive so far (since they have early access perks) and I've been waiting for content to build up for a public release. Now, I finally bring you something to sink your teeth in!

I also wanted to let you know that I've read the feedback you left me and I've taken it all into consideration. I have made plans for changes, some major, some minor, but I've yet to implement them. Here's a list of the future changes:

I've received feedback that chapter 4 feels slow, overly-descriptive and filled with scenes of tasks and chores; looking back on it, I do admit I've gone overboard with these things. I'll be cutting down on superfluous bits, altogether removing some scenes or changing them into something more interesting and relevant.

Also regarding chapter 4, as well as 5: I've...info-dumped quite a lot, and it slows the pace. I'll be going over the game and try to spread out information better, or withhold it till later.

Guinevere will be introduced earlier, in chapter 3. Really excited about this change :)

Instead of having one main trait for Mordred's dragon friend to choose from in chapter 2, the option will be between four archtypes. These will allow me to better flesh out the character (I've found the current system restrictive and one-note). I'll elaborate more on these new choices when they're added (which I've started to work on) but know that they incorporate the existent personality traits. This change will also come with not just edited, but entirely new scenes featuring the draconic companion.

Adding an alternative route to showing Elaine around in chapter 5, so Mordreds not interested in her can still do something fun

Alright, now let's talk demo update!

What's new?

More of chapter 5 (it's a big one)

Greet the wedding guests. Reunite with Nimue and catch up, meet Merlin for the first time

Talk to, insult, or ignore Galahad

Get on the dancefloor! (with a RO or friend of choice!)

Edits made: some bits of Nimue's conversation in chapter 1 have been reworked and a new dialogue option has been added, a couple of edits done to Morgana's first POV in chapter 3

Despite how nightmare riddled it was, you can't help but crave it; sinking into a bed. A mattress, a couch. Anything that allows you to curl up semi comfortably and pass out for the foreseeable future.  Or better yet; finding a willing body to sink into. Memories to root through as your own body lies somewhere. Lost to the world. Your own nightmares kept at bay by slipping into those of others. Always slipping. In and out and away from what comes back to haunt you yourself. 

chapter four.

meet the mirage family members!

have another crisis

have a not-date! or don't bc it's what he deserves

watch orla be deranged for a change

blow up some relationships!

the merciful/ruthless stat determines the intensity of the orla scene later on (!)

progress.
