#updated work in progress

[rudrakitty]

Sneak peak at my sketchbook page, still gotta finish the other side :3

I ended up cutting out and pasting my clay tiger drawing in here and decided to make a Tiger themed page! The drawings at the bottom were made with Conté à Paris pencils. But anyway, yeah just a lil sneak peak I’ll update to my sketchbook tab on my site when I finish!

[isat-script-project]

ISAT's script is finished!

With this page, one year and nearly three months after it began, we're officially concluding ISAT's script. It's done. (Hopefully) every single ounce of text to be found on ISAT has been dutifully transcribed and put up for your reading pleasure.

Is this the end of the ISAT Script Project?

In short: No!

In long: Not for a while yet. We've still got START AGAIN: a prologue left to cover, and there's been interest at looking at In Stars and Time DEMO as well, since that features some exclusive scenes that may be interesting to all.

In addition to that, Gold has been looking into whether we can make the site bilingual, and also host the japanese script! Newcomer to the squad LunarDusk has been hammering out the search engine you've all been waiting for, and I no longer have any excuse to put off my fantranslation of ISAT into german. (Though that wouldn't be on this website, exactly.)

So you're stuck with us a little longer! Just a moment longer, a second longer... Hehe.

Thank you, everyone, for all your love and support in this project!

It cannot be understated how motivating it was (and is) to know how the fandom has come to love this project. Just seeing stray screenshots of it, seeing fanworks quote obscure game text en-masse, and to know we've helped you love this wonderful game even more by picking it apart, warms my heart.

This is, statisically speaking, the most impactful thing I have ever made, in my life.

And now, it's perhaps time for me to stop hogging the spotlight and let the other wonderful folks without whom I wouldn't have gotten this far speak:

From @goldstargloww (aka: Gold), who is responsible for the site looking as pretty as it does:

this has been really fun :D! i love that despite my social anxiety i'm somehow fine dming random people on the internet asking them questions, because that's exactly what i did here, and it's gotten me involved in some really cool projects :> i've learned a lot coding-wise and i've been able to make things i'm proud of and it's overall just been really fun. i love seeing the script project in the wild it's so fun, i love being part of projects that help a lot of people and make them happy, this is also probably the most impactful thing i've done in my life and it's been really fun and i've learned a lot :D

From @onenightbreak (aka: Wren), who is responsible for many wonderful beautiful pages:

ISAT defeated!!! the other folks on the script project have been lovely to work with, and i've had a lot of fun crawling through isat and contributing to the project! skill acquired: it student now knows how to use git XD i have to agree with feli and gold, seeing the script in the wild and knowing how widespread it is for the fandom is crazy, and it's been amazing being part of this <3

Many thanks also to @candycoatedrox (aka: Molly) who made a huge chunk of pages alongside Wren, and without whom this all would've taken much longer than it did. And thanks to Vixia Raine, for catching so many typos and random mistakes. Just. So many.

[robinsceramics]

the kiln is firing!!!!

it'll take about 2-4 weeks for me to glaze and photograph my stock—I'll announce an exact date and time for the shop drop at least a week ahead, but it'll be sometime in mid-May to early June.

-WIP- Functional Closet Mod

After 16 years (I still can't believe how old TS3 is...), we're finally going to have a working closet in the game and not just a deco one 😊 Big thanks to @zoeoe-sims for helping me figure out the animation ❤

[traumasurvivors]

I am finally putting together a FAQ for easy access for people new to my blog since a lot of these posts I think are helpful are buried. Some of these links link to posts on my blog, but some link to my personal website. My website is not monetized in any way, so there should be no ads or anything intrusive.

About Coping

How can I make a self-care box?

Here's some instructions I wrote!

How can I make a safe space?

Here are some ideas!

What are some ways I can ground myself?

Here is an article with a bunch of examples, but there are so many more that aren't listed here!

I'm struggling with trauma around the holidays and/or a traumaversary.

Here's an article I wrote on trauma around the holidays!

Here's an article I wrote with advice for traumaversaries.

General Trauma FAQ

Do I have to forgive them in order to heal?

The short answer is "no." What everyone needs differs. While someone may need to forgive as a part of their healing journey, this isn't necessarily true for everyone. Here's a post I wrote about this.

What about myself? Should I forgive myself?

That's up to you. For some of us, healing is realizing we never needed forgiveness all along. And for others, it can mean that we can't get to a place where we feel we did nothing wrong, and therefore, forgiving ourselves is the best way to move forward. Here's an article I wrote on self-forgiveness.

What is trauma bonding?

This term is often used in a colloquial sense when two people who have suffered trauma bond together over their trauma. This article talks about the technical definition and is about how someone going through trauma forms an emotional bond with the one who is traumatizing or abusing them.

Was it bad enough?

The short answer is yes. But you can read a longer blog post for why here.

I'm struggling with anger after trauma.

That's a really valid way to feel. Here is some more info on it.

What is hypersexuality and/or sex repulsion?

See this article here.

What is Trauma Imposter Syndrome?

This is when a survivor invalidates themselves by saying something like “my trauma isn’t so bad, other people have it worse than me.” Here's my post on it.

How do I talk about my trauma?

First, remember that you do not have to talk about anything you don't want to. But if you do, here are some tips I have.

How do I listen to someone talk about their trauma?

The first thing I want you to remember, when someone tells you that they want to talk to you about their trauma, is that their needs do not negate your own needs. Here's my post on it.

Is Healing Linear?

No. Healing is a rollercoaster. Here's a post on it.

About Abuse and Specific Forms of Trauma

What are some different types of abuse?

Physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse, cultural abuse. You can read more about these here.

What is Medical Trauma?

It is a vast term that includes many different things, mostly linked to major emotional distress that occurs as a result of hospital stays, illness, or treatment (so yes, therapy trauma is valid.) You can see my longer article here.

What is Parentification?

Parentification is a form of abuse where a child is forced to take on the role of a parent. You can see my longer article here.

Why do I love and/or miss my abuser?

Nothing is wrong with you if you love and/or miss your abuser. There are any number of reasons why you could be feeling this way, and I will share some examples with you. You can see my article on this here!

Other

Are they trying to manipulate me?

While there isn't a clear cut guide, some of the points in this article might help you in getting more information about one of your relationships.

What is consent?

Consent is a freely-given yes. See this post here.

How can I be prepared for sex?

See this post here.

I also wrote this article that covers the same points as the first post, but focuses from a trauma perspective. A lot of the info is the same.

Why is it important to validate my feelings?

See this post here.

I'm struggling with self-harm/What is self-harm?

Here's a post on this.

Haunted car au part 19

Previous. Masterpost

Out of all the days the past week, today was pretty good. He has an actual day off that he plans to use by getting to hang out with his little brothers. He hasn't spent time with Duke in a while. Maybe he should plan a brother bonding hour with him, then have lunch with Tim, take Damian to that one documentary about the ecosystem of Madagascar, and wrap up the day by dragging Jason back to the manor to have an impromptu kids dinner. Alfred might be convinced to make a pot of Mac and Cheese and hot dogs if he gives him some pictures he snuck of Tim and Damian ‘tolerating each other's presence’ while comparing lighting in a picture Tim took vs a painting Dami did of the same alleyway. Dick was proud of his little brother's artistic abilities. Even if they all use it to mock his fantastic skills at drawing stick figures. 

Dick was just about to open the cave door when it opened without his input and the Batmobile roared out, barely missing him. 

“Ooooh someone is going to get Grounded™.”

Dick sped into the cave and changed into his gear in record time, and followed where the Batmobile may have gone. It wasn't hard with all the daytime gothamites filming and excitedly talking about the Batmobile showing him where to go. He caught up soon after, making ‘wee-woo’ noises in his com to try to get whichever sibling in the car to respond. 

“ACAB!”

“Hood, please pull over.” Dick asked, voice full of affection and exasperation.

“Only if you ask Danny nicely N.” Duke laughed out.

“Ok? Danny, could you please pull over?” 

Dick was half deafened by the song ‘Fuck Tha Police’ over the coms before the Batmobile revved it's engine and went faster though Gotham.

“Well, Sugar Honey Iced Tea.”

An Update On Things

Hello everybody, I'm writing this to give an update on things. So, you may have noticed that I stopped posting Love In Stasis. You may be thinking to yourself, "Why did you stop working on it?"

I didn't! It's done!

Unfortunately, it wasn't getting the reception here that I was hoping for, and with a good two months of consistent chapters, I think that's a fair run. So, I'm going over revisions now and making major changes to it. Primarily, it's not going to be in third person omniscient anymore, and is instead going to switch first person POV's. I think it'll be a great way to explore the story and let me be even more descriptive with character's emotions and thoughts. I'm going to be looking to publish it once revisions and edits and beta reading is done. Unfortunately, that does mean I have to take what little of it there is available off Patreon and Tumblr.

It's my first ever officially finished project, and I honestly am very proud of that. The first draft ended up being 89k words and around 400 pages (after setting it to 5.5 x 8.5 margins). I have paused payments on the patreon. It was one thing when I was putting out content regularly, but now that I'm not really sure what I'm doing with the patreon, I don't feel comfortable collecting people's money.

I've been thinking, and I'm not sure I'm going to do all the side stories I was planning for The Bureau, however I WILL finish it. I am going to finish it. I just hope the knowledge that I've fully completed a project is enough to show people I have the dedication to do so. I'll admit, it was much easier writing static fiction. I started Love In Stasis in later October, so it took about 5 and a half months for me to write the first draft of it. That's pretty good in my book (no pun intended).

I even have thoughts of a follow up book in mind: Love In Motion.

Thank you for your patience with The Bureau. I'm gonna reign in the scope a little bit, cut down on some of the side stories (though I'd be open to adding them in later as free DLC or something) and get it done after the revisions to my novel.

Stay Brilliant,

Vi

[noctivagant-ghost]

this novel has curled itself around my bones. every scene feels like remembering something i never lived through, but somehow still regret.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

from my upcoming novel, the lighthouse a story about memory, grief, and the versions of ourselves we leave behind just to keep breathing.

to enter amazon’s writing contest, i have to self-publish it. i’ll be pricing it as low as possible as i just want to share this story. it means more to me than anything i've ever written.

reblogs are deeply appreciated. i’d love for this book to find the readers who need it.

releasing August 31 2025.

[asgodsfall-if]

Public update: Chapters 4 & 5 out now!

I'm happy to deliver a brand new public update that concluded the core story of act 1 by adding chapters 4 and 5. What you'll get to do in the new chapters:

Chase down the few remaining leads

Witness a calamity that shakes the city further into chaos

Stand face to face with a goddess (and possibly receive her blessing)

On top of that the demo now includes the up to this point Patreon exclusive side content including a mission with Paoni and an opportunity to witness a vision of the future. The new total word count for the demo is now slightly over 113 thousand words including code.

You can try the demo here:

With the main parts of act 1 concluded I will most likely use this chance to fill out the side content starting with most likely the opening to Mesar's and the werewolves side quests. Unless there's something else you think I should do first. Either way stay tuned and I hope you'll enjoy what this update has to offer. Sameless Patreon and Kofi plugs:

Hi dear patrons ❤️

So this last month was really rouge. Fell sick and and was just exceedingly and unnecessarily busy at work.

But I spent every moment I could on the game, and still, unfortunately, I won't be able to finish the update any time soon.

It’s frustrating, to say the least, because I’m constantly anxious about losing momentum with the game and people moving on from it—and I've kind of reached a point where I'm just torturing myself over it.

So as the non-functioning perfectionist that I am, I'm forcing myself to be honest instead of pretending everything is going well!

Things are hard right now, but I'm not giving up and will finish as soon as I can.

Sorry for keeping you waiting, thanks for sticking with me, and see you soon on the abyss (but like, soon-ish)

[uniquethingtastemaker]

I’m also working on another Vil x Reader idea that involves MC misunderstanding Vil’s immediate criticism upon meeting them as some sort of weird Pomefiore custom. So they also criticized Vil in the most honest, genuine and well mean way possible. Here’s a section I wrote. I apologize for any mistakes. It’s 3 in the morning lol

Congratulations, here’s the teaser:

—————

Vil took your hand as he responded, “It’s nice to meet you too. You should really put some benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid on that breakout.”

You blinked, bewildered. You hadn’t expected that. Was this some sort of strange Pomefiore greeting you didn’t know about? Vil pointed out something you could work on. The wording was terrible, but it seemed in line with what the dorm stood for: continuous self-improvement. Maybe this was a way to show respect and consideration within the dorm? You thought it was only polite to return the favor. Even if you were wrong, Pomefiore seemed to respect bold improv choices and you could always apologize.

You gave a sharp, decisive nod and a small grin.

“Thanks! I’ve been meaning to get some products with those ingredients, but my budget's been tight,” you explained.

You gave the Pomefiore greeting back.

“If you greet everyone like that, you’ll never break out of your villain role,” you responded with sincerity.

You felt Vil freeze as you released his hand. Before you had time to observe his reaction, your attention was ripped away by your best friends yelling at you.

“Why did you say that?!” Ace shouted, mortified.

Startled by the sudden outburst, you matched his volume.

“I thought it was some weird Pomefiore greeting!” You defended, “Heartlabyul has strange rules and customs that Riddle is always strict about that. I thought as the head of Pomefiore, he was doing something similar.”

“What do you mean?” Deuce asked, stunned.

“Isn’t Pomefiore all about improving oneself? He greeted me with something I should work on, so I was just returning the favor,” you answered.

Deuce was silent for a moment, before speaking, “You could’ve phrased it better.”

You crossed your arms. “That was the point, though. I wanted to show him that coming up to someone and pointing out a potentially sensitive flaw could make someone upset and defensive. It sounds like an insult rather than constructive criticism. Public opinion is shallow. If it sounds mean, they’ll think you are even if you’re trying to be helpful. The only reason I didn’t get offended is because he’s the head of Pomefiore and friends with Rook. The hunter is equally weird and also disregards general social norms like Vil was.”

The four of them stared at you in silence.

————————

It’s 3am. I might’ve worded stuff strangely, so forgive me if I did.

I was just excited with what I wrote and wanted to share. I hope you all enjoyed. I always look forward to your comments!
