Update Wordcount: 88,325 words Total Wordcount: 225,095 words
Hello hello, everyone! It's finally time. Here is the rest of chapter one, all wrapped up...except it occurred to me that there's 0 reason why this shouldn't just be chapter two. It's over 100k words long total, I'm being needlessly stubborn not wanting to call it a new chapter. So, here's chapter two!
This is a hefty update--though there are four distinct branches, so a good portion is spread out between those parts. It feels incredible to release this. I've been excited to share this for so long.
In this update you can:
Visit Ravi and crash a funeral. OR
Visit Jay and check out the animal shelter. OR
Visit Beck at work and get a lil silly with it. OR
Get coffee with Yasmin. Get to know her and chat about the horrors.
Sit down with your new friends and finally learn the truth.
Go for a drive, company optional.
( There was another section, at the arcade, that I originally had planned. I worked it and reworked it over and over, but it just wasn't happening. I figured it was better to scrap it (especially since it wasn't a very story-heavy section) and move on with the plot. )
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, saves will likely break with the update. There are variables that have been added since the last one. I'm really eager to share with everyone. As always, the content warnings page has been updated for the new chapter.
If you have any feedback, or notice any bugs, feel free to send it to my inbox or post on the forum thread. I hope everyone enjoys!

;; “ASPEN” DE ROSA (she/it)
- tight-curled, black hair that reaches its mid-back, dark brown eyes and freckled tawny skin. 6ft (182.88cm)
- she’s a journalist!!
- strange obsession with the woods and cryptids.
- weird & smart!!
- SO awkward. she tries soo hard but her overall demeanor kinda unsettles people and always has, so her social skills arent great.
- MOST likely gonna romance perri. still kinda in the air
- willow is her BEST friend. calls her wills.
- wears coconut-scented perfume but the scent of the forest always kinda lingers.
- nicknamed aspen (like the tree)!! its real name is zaya but it doesn’t introduce itself as that.
- during a school presentation, while walking back to its seat, tripped. she legit just burst out in tears in class and the memory still haunts her.
- bad vision in its right eye, perfect vision in its left. breaks all their glasses within weeks, though. at a certain point, it gave up trying to replace the lens.
- dying feels so much like dreaming.

Next is my mc For “The Lonely Shore”
Tumblr media
Name: Ángel Alvarez
Occupation: firefighter
Main stats: 50 tough and 50 Charisma
Lowest stat: 25 smarts
Magic path: resistant to the magic but he does believe in it
Relationship to willow: he is very close to his baby brother willow
Some other thoughts and stuff I have about him
He’s very pissed at Ravi and Jay however he’s still very attracted to Jay. He’s just kinda mad at him right now
He is two seconds away from throwing a punch at Ravi on the other hand
Honestly he likes beck and perri. he was just put off by how casual they are about everything
Thinks Yasmin is chill can probably become goods friends with her
Despite how I made him look he’s actually very friendly. Ángel just wants to get the hell out of this town
Honestly with how obsessed he was with the lake as a child I like to imagine Ángel briefly considered becoming a professional swimmer before deciding on being a firefighter
One of my favorite moments of the game is when we’re watching willow go out in the lake. I could so clearly imagine the flashback. The writing for this game is amazing
The lonely shore is such a fun IF and I’m so excited to see more chapters. I’m a big fan of mystery and horror genres so I kinda fell in love with this IF pretty quickly. Here’s the picrew I used for Ángel

I'm of the sound opinion that Easthaven and Fernweh are both located in the same plane of reality thus they are neighbouring towns...

I kind of liked them both so there's two versions.
I've been playing around with brushes today. This is my MC from @thelonelyshore-if's game, Rivera Posey, fae is a true crime podcaster, really big into all that. But doesn't believe anything in this town being magical, like the fog is just fog right? totally not keeping faer trapped there nope.
but yeah I don't know I wanted to try something for fog.

My high school did a yearly poetry recitation contest (Poetry Out Loud), so Oh Boy do I know some poems. My favorites are Ozymandias and "the world is about to end and my grandparents are in love," by Kara Jackson. Also in 8th grade we had a Poe unit and had a class contest to make the best music video of the Raven, so I still know a good chunk of that.
i hadn't heard of the kara jackson one! just read through it and enjoyed it, particularly these lines > 'grandma returns to her love like a hymn, marks it with a color. // when the world ends will it suck the earth of all its love? /will i go taking somebody’s hand, / my skin becoming their skin?'
#taking this as a challenge to see how much of ozymandias and the raven i can remember. no i'm not bored at work what gives you that idea#i bet ive got most of ozymandias. the raven may be a lost cause#i met a traveller from an antique land / who said: two vast and trunkless legs of stone / stand in the desert. near them on the sand /#half-sunk a shatter'd visage lies whose frown / and wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command / tell that its sculptor well those passions read#...something or other i do not recall / the heart that mocked them and the heart that fed / and on the pedestal these words appear /#my name is ozymandias king of kings / look on my works ye mighty and despair /#nothing beside remains. round the decay / of that colossal wreck . something or other#the lone and level sands stretch far away#decay of that colossal wreck indeed (my memory for this poem)#oh well.#once upon a midnight dreary as i pondered weak and weary / over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore /#while i nodded nearly napping suddenly there came a rapping / as of someone gently tapping tapping at my chamber door /#tis some visitor i muttered tapping at my chamber door / only this and nothing more#?? (it's downhill from here)#ah distinctly i remember it was in the bleak december / and each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor /#something?ly i sought the morrow / vainly had i sought to borrow / from my books surcease of sorrow / sorrow for the lost lenore /#for the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels .name lenore / lost to me forevermore#(then there is another stanza; bird-infested word bonanza / which i used to know at some point but do not know anymore /)#something something something door. darkness there and nothing more#oh it's the 'silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain / thrilled me filled me with fantastic terrors never known before' bit#anyway. deep into that darkness peering something stood i hoping fearing / doubting?? dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before#but the silence was unbroken and the stillness gave no token / and the only word there spoken was the whispered word lenore#(more missing chunks)#oh i remember 'surely said i surely that is / something at my window lattice' because it's such a stupid rhyme#bird time bust time idk#ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore / tell me what thy lordly name is on the night's plutonian shore /#a billion more stanzas i dont remember. except for 'prophet!' said i 'thing of evil! prophet still if bird or devil!#whether tempter sent or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore /' etc. wait you can only add 30 tags to posts now?? i had more raven chunks#ask#anon

Mr president, if that is your real name…
May I ask why your policies directly attack and disrupt scavenger populations while you have a known war criminal as your personal Secret Service member!?

Update Wordcount: 59,904 Total Wordcount: 114,296
Finally, the chapter one (part one) update is here! I've been fighting tooth and nail against my own perfectionism, but my partner assures me that the chapter is good and I think I'm finally happy with where it's at. In this update you can:
Wake up!
Have a conversation with your host (Jay, Ravi, or Dr. Jones)
Go for a drive!
Return to the lake, or check out a gas station in the middle of nowhere.
Eat Breakfast! Meet Beck & Perri!
And that's it, nothing else weird will happen at all, I promise <3
There's a good amount of branching in this one. Three starts, two distinct middle paths, and it all comes together at the end. Because of that it might feel a little shorter than its almost 60k words (somehow the edit made it longer this time???), but I'm feeling good with the length.
Tumblr media
Apologies in advance, but you'll need to start a fresh save for the update. I ended up changing the variables in the prologue quite significantly. Additionally, the content warnings page has been updated for chapter one, part one, and can be found here. Feedback is always welcome! My askbox is open, and the forum post for the WIP is another great place for feedback. That can be found here. Thank you so much for your support, and I hope you enjoy!

is anybody else out there still creating twdg fanworks 😭📢 where is everyone please dont say reddit i cant go back there
#im gods bravest little soldier for following fandom tags but its rough in there#guess i should specifically say where are the twdg fans who didnt hate violet#sometimes i remember how homophobic (and racist?? in the lee and clem game??) people were during s4 (and still are on reddit/yt) and think:#maybe i should stop looking and just let the cool people find me#go knocking on enough doors and the devil may answer#but i want to see fanart 🥺#was only Slightly surprised by the misogyny because this is clems game series but hoo boy the misogyny towards violet......#ive gotten used to how quiet it is i gotta remind myself a dead fandom is better than an annoying one 💀burning shores reminded me of that#so hard being a wlw in video game spaces please where are my other wlw video game enjoyers i need to find u 😭#gotta draw some more ellie to lure them in like an angler fish#im honestly surprised how dead twdg seems to be esp with the way the final season ended?? its set up so well for fanworks??#theres a lot of unaccounted for time even before clem got to the school. and its set up that their lives could be anything now#is it just because people were burned so hard by seasons 2 and 3 that a lot of people just didnt even play 4??#or maybe they didnt even know s4 was un-cancelled??#because i know theres a lot of people who stopped after 3#but 4 is such a return to form. its like the other side of the coin to s1 for me. like if s1 was more hopeful instead of dreadful#it is Such a love letter to s1 honestly. imagine if telltale didnt shut down in the middle of production and they got a full budget.....#sometimes i imagine it... s4 with a full 5 episodes??? in my dreams. literally.#oof this turned into a ramble im just fandom lonely#twdg#it speaks
