And I'm playing Enderal again

Now I'm plaing for a phasmalist again, this is my third prophet

They are from left to right: a psychologically unstable young scientist, a widow-huntress with the character of a caring mom and a rabid werewolf pirate

It's funny that I'm writing a little fan fiction on Enderal not about Tarael and the prophet-scientist, whom I ship, but with a huntress, because who but a wonderful woman with a big heart will help rehabilitate after such a shit

it's clearly not worth waiting for help from a dude with addictions and depression:/

Hi guys!!! (○｀ 3′○)

I am just wildly delighted with this drawing! Σ>―(〃°ω°〃)♡→ (my heart beats very fast when I look at it), for several days I could not draw it (opening Krita I wanted to close it right away… A disgusting feeling to be honest (눈_눈)

I still can't admire Сalia with wings, she is just a work of art („ಡωಡ„)

P.S. Mmmm… I had some problems with loading my posts, hopefully that's resolved (¬_¬")

hehhere a little closer for a closer look

A thousand thanks to @lairofsentinel and @alcassin to help me complete these lists!

I am finally putting all the games I know with same sex/queer romances. Mainly, I am focusing on non-dating games, so games that are about a specific plot, adventures, other non-romantic events but that do have romance options in them.

Recommended: Are all games that I played personally and that have full romance. Informational: Games I know have romance, but I have not played personally or I could not confirm there was enough romantic content, or games where the romantic content is minimal (ex. Fable)

The lists are divided (linked) in:

RPGS (ex. BG3, DA:O, DO2 etc.), in total 39 games are currently added in this list

Visual novels that do not focus around dating (ex. Solstice, Loren etc.) but that still have romantic options/romantic storylines, currently 10 games in the list

Life simulators or walking simulators (ex. Stardew Valley), currently 7 games in the list

Others, currently 7 games in the list. Others are all games that did not end up in the above categories (ex. hack and slash games like Hades, puzzle games like Newfound courage)

There is also a category for dating sim visual novels. Here I will only add games I played and enjoyed given that it is usually pretty easy to find queer visual novels.

If there is a "what to expect" summary from this blog (a lot written by lairofsentinel!!) I also linked that!

Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away.

Me when I'm trying to live out my romcom fantasies with the cute mercenary who saved my life but the inevitable destruction of everything I've ever known looms closer and closer. 👍🏻
