TOUCHSTARVED Updated Demo Shtuff

[SPOILERS] Anyone feeling a bit unsure about some of the changes to the demo?

Tag I'm using for this topic: #touchstarved updated demo spoilers

Honestly, idk how to feel about the changes to Leander's dialogue and personality... but I want to play the whole thing a few times before really formulating an opinion. We're naturally going to be somewhat resistant to change when it comes to things that work, and I don't want to be too biased.

For now, I guess I'll say that I really liked the new area that the main character gets to explore with Kuras... ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡) ... That was a nice change of scenery, for sure. Very beautiful drawing.

Also, the Hound backstory is gone! That's so incredibly sad! I've been designing an MC and that backstory was the best for them :(( I'm probably going to use it anyway, tbh... There was so much potential to it...

Current minor gripes:

The game continues to imply that the MC is shorter than the cast sometimes, which can be a bit eh...

I think the editor may have forgotten that the MC sleeps the entire day away after meeting Leander. There's some points where the game acts as though everything is still happening on the same day. That is, unless I'm actually blind.

If Mhin is from somewhere else, as Kuras implies in his route, but Mhin outright states that they grew up in Eridia when you first meet them in the new version, why doesn't the MC notice that when talking to Kuras? Either Mhin is lying about their origins to both the MC and Kuras, or they've told Kuras one thing and the MC another, or it's an error. Anyone else notice this?

The NECK description for that lowlife guy, man. It wasn't great before (my thighs are massive lmaooo - dude would be built like a one piece character), but I don't think it's great now, either. I honestly think they should just show that the guy is an imposing figure through other means. They continue to imply that Ais is taller, but this guy can't be?

Mhin deserved more :( I liked their intro, but... idk... I would have liked more? (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

Nvm I decided to add most of what I feel here:

I guess there is one thing I find odd about the characterization of Leander, and it's all the little moments that we've lost. Like the moment where the Bloodhounds (now Adderstones (?)) get angry at the MC for bringing up the Senobium. Leander didn't act until they looked to him for help, but in this one, he simply gets up and takes the MC outside. Hrm...

Overall, they seem to have made him more earnest and a bit more straightforward, likely to lull the player and the MC into thinking he's harmless, but after all the advertising... all that marketing basically confirming that he's a real piece of work... I dunno. I think it could've been more subtle?? Like in the previous demo?? His cheerful and flirty attitude, which is muted in the updated demo until later, is what almost got me in the previous version of the game. I wasn't completely suspicious. It kept me guessing.

Now, I just see through every gesture. That scene we get with him at the end of his route thus, and please forgive my language, freaked me the absolute fuck out. Had the game not shoved it in your face that he's a Bad Guy so much, I feel as though I wouldn't have immediately panicked when he locked the door. I'm likely to get a bad end with him because I'm so cautious now, tbh. Whoops lmao. Like, okay, anyone can get away with a few comments (the leash one was wild), and MC does question him a bit after all that manipulation, but surely a situation like THAT is bound to be more alarming to a person? Especially after so many near death experiences and meeting so many shady people? Is my preference for a slower pace, like in the other routes, making me a bit of a dingus?

There's a real good moment, though, and it's after the MC shows Leander their curse. He asks their name. Suddenly, after revealing what could be a weapon against the Senobium, you become a person of interest to him. Although, person might be a stretch. As such, I kind of understand these changes. He's the reassuring, trustworthy guy in a sea of assholes. Guy wants to isolate you as soon as possible so that you'll become reliant on him and only him, and what better way to do that than giving the MC what they so desperately crave while they incur debt after debt? I just... I wish they hadn't jumped the gun so fast?

Anyway, these are all my thoughts. Leander's route was still enjoyable for the most part haha. It really shows the kind of person he is. I haven't felt that unnerved by a character in a while!

I dunno! It's my first playthrough, so my opinion is liable to change. I'd love to hear other people's thoughts, too.

[dyellogin]

Heyyyy! I have a question about the au: Do they still have the same interests as they do in the comics? Or are their interests completely different?

Yap incoming, lolol

The OGs and the Gen Z have different interests due to the eras they grew up in.

Growing up in the 90s, the OG likely discovered their passions through friends talking about it or visiting comic book shops. That's why they're into mostly nerdy stuff. Back then, the internet wasn't as big, so word-of-mouth and local shops were the main ways to learn about dominant media, and god knows how pretentious those starwars and Marvel fans back then were.

Gen Z, on the other hand, were introduced to the world through the internet from a young age. This exposed them to different "sections" or categories of interests. The web has made it easier than ever to find information on any topic imaginable, so their tastes are more diverse.

Back when YouTube was just taking off, the content was much more niche and community-focused. People mostly uploaded personal vlogs, funny skits, gossip, and hobby-related content. During that time, I feel Bill's a big fan of Pewdiepie in his teen years, I know he's more popular as a gaming channel but he's also an anime fan, i remmembered he does fanfics reading, so Pewdiepie is probably the one that introduces Bill to shounen anime and fanfics reading. Then, it branches to Bill checking out opinionated channels, anime reviews, and #dramaalert. (Micro yap. Not only this, but ofc he's into forums, trolling, and negative sides of internet)

Pete doesn't really get or care much about fandom stuff, mainly because he comes from a big, mostly offline family. Chances are, he'd feel embarrassed if his brothers caught him watching to something like a Konata Kirby remix. Growing up, cartoons and anime were often seen as shows for weird kids, so Pete avoided them to fit in. Instead, he kept up with celebrity gossip and drama, saving stuff to brag the things he found. Like, leaked contents of some popular people to his big brothers to look cool and edgy. He'd probably check websites like Perez Hilton or StickyDrama. The more borderline illegal they are, the better (Micro yap... StickyDrama was such a hellhole of those popular bitchy emo teens, yknow how looks are just everything? I feel like this is how he develops interest in anorexic people). Bonus points on sites where he can interact with big guys and creators in real time.

These days, when something big happens, like Kanye West abandoned his pills for the week and post those Twitter tweets, Pete and Bill definitely immediately talk about it. They probably live stream calls on Discord and chuckle about it.

Joshie was an autistic child (still autistic tho) who has intense hyperfixation with kid's cartoons, books, and art. (Micro yap.. . .. . She also develops interest in warrior cats, homestuck, etc) She spends countless hours indulging in these media and creating her own fanwork (fanfictions mostly, she's not confident in her artworks) inspired by it. When she first gets online, she's mostly active on platforms like DeviantArt and Tumblr. She doesn't care about much else beyond these websites and forums. Joshie's knowledge is limited to the politics and discussions happening within these online spaces; shipping wars, diversity debates, and some conversations about mental health. She can talk for hours about these topics but struggles to name more than a few U.S. presidents.

Jerry is into anime, shows, and enjoys drawing in his free time. While he has these interests, he doesn't let them consume his life or take things too seriously. Jerry stays well-informed about what's happening in the world. He's not some shut-in or recluse. Jerry is about as socially normal and well-adjusted as they come. One thing he really loves is memes and hanging out with out-of-pocket eccentric people who keep him entertained in his dull life.

Bumblebee, Arcee, Ultra Magnus and Smokescreen reacting to human reader recovering from depression and drawing them because the autobots make them happy. Reader does whatever feels right, so sometimes the drawings actually resemble the autobots and sometimes they're coloured differently, from small things like Magnus having lighter shades of blue and gold to Smokescreen being pastel. Even the backgrounds can be fantastical, with things like pink skys and blue grass.

Message - This is so adorable! Sorry if I didn't do too much, but hopefully it's cute enough!

Bumblebee, Arcee, Ultra Magnus, Smokescreen x Reader SFW

Summary - Headcanons of their reactions to you painting them a picture of them in different styles!

Warnings - Hints of Depression

Bumblebee He was there for you everyday of your progress. Everything is so much nicer with him and it made the process of healing a lot quicker. Grabbing your easel and some paints, you watched Bumblebee talking to Ratchet and started to draw. Making the edges of his frame a lot rounder and his yellow a lot brighter, you made a lovely portrait of him. He loved it, adored it, can he hang it on the wall? Hugs is everything and Bumblebee gave you one as a thank you. Beeping at you excitedly about how much he adores the art piece. This lovable man is the reason why your life was a lot brighter and you needed to show him how much you appreciate him. He would let you on his shoulder and chill while he goes scouting so both of you can have some peace with each other alone.

Arcee This woman was one of the only bots that related to your situation the most. Yeah she wasn't human, but she showed you that you were not alone and shouldn't deal with it alone. She loves you for going above and beyond. You wanted to show her how important she was to your process so you take some paint cans and get to work on an abandoned wall. Her silhouette being painted on the wall looked mysterious, but also showed a beauty side to the image. Arcee loved it, leaning on the opposite wall of the alley way and smiling at it. "This is a masterpiece." The history of her being painted on human architecture was showing her how much you cherished her and it would be memories she would never forget, even if she still had millions of years left in her. She takes you for a ride out in the country afterwards to help you feel free.

Magnus At first, he had no idea what depression was. Searching it up, he than wanted to help you everyday anytime you needed it. Anytime you ask him if he wanted to hang out, he dropped everything to help comfort you on what you were thinking. Grabbing some colored paper, you start to make a paper origami statue of Magnus. He takes a lot of his time at work, so it wasn't hard to hide the paper sculpture from him. When you show him, he wouldn't stop complimenting your extreme detail to his color pallet and how delicate it looks. He keeps it in a glass casing in his birth to look at every night before he goes to stasis. Even after the gift, he takes his time with you and goes out star gazing to talk about your progress. Adoring everything you tell him and even taking notes for what he needs to do to help the progress continue.

Smokescreen He helped in the most Smokescreen way possible. This guy was very touchy, and tried to hug you anytime you needed one. Being as touched starved as you were at the time, it really did help you feel a lot better during your time of healing. You grabbed watercolor and thick pieces of paper to start slowly painting Smokescreen in a way no one would describe him of being. People see him as a loud mouth and annoying young mech (Ratchet's words, not yours). Drawing him in an elegant, whispy, and bright way would be impossible for others. You knew who he truly was, and was able to make every stroke look important. He loved the painting you made and kept it protected in his sub-space. Holding you like a teddy bear for the rest of the day and handing you whatever you wanted. Of course he would spoil you and snuggle your body while watching your favorite movie.

I FINISHED YESTERDAYS DRAWING

this au i made is so dear to me rn so i'm going to rant about it

Okay first of all they get the same miraculouses as in canon but for different reasons

Nathaniel gets his miraculous because the Supreme sees potential in him, as he is one of the most recognized young artists in Paris and embodies the concept of passion because of his art and stuff.

Marc gets his miraculous also from the Supreme, because in this universe the goat and the rooster have to have a connection, so they gave it to him because of his relationship with Nathaniel + because he embodies it's concept perfectly; if he wants it, he'll make it happen.

And they themselves meet under different circumstances, too. They meet in the first year of high school, a lot earlier than in canon.

Marc from this universe is the whole opposite of canon Marc: he's super overconfident and outgoing. Everybody knows him and he also diverts from canon because he's been playing soccer his whole life, so he's known for that too.

Nathaniel, on the other hand, has always been reserved like in canon. But instead of chickening out when people bullied him, he actually responded. And since he said really harsh things to people who had done him wrong, and even got in fights, he has an ass reputation in campus.

And, about their relationship, they never started as friends. Marc's friends used to talk shit about Nathaniel, and he'd get very very angry with all of them, even though Marc never really got engaged with the gossip about him. Marc has the guts to tell him that that's not fair at all and to fuck off, and since then they become the nemesis of each other.

They do NOT stand seeing each other in the corridors. At least from Nathaniel's perspective. Marc actually enjoys to encounter him and start an argument, just so he can get to talk to Nathaniel. But he takes it seriously and doesn't realize that Marc might be sliding a bit of flirting into their fights.

SO that's why in the drawing he's looking at Marc like "what the hell is wrong with you" and Marc does NOT care at all.

And yes. In this universe, Marc used to be a lot taller than Nathaniel, but in their seventh year of high school he randomly grew up. Since then, he's been taller.

That's all the ranting for today :) I need to write a fanfic about this

[xxplastic-cubexx]

what if (only if you want to btw) you draw charles holding baby erik (the one someone sent in the asks)

who put his ass on baby duty

cannot STAND this guy

[eternitas]

I'm gonna be fucking cringe but here is my comment!

First of all: merry Debutmas! I am so so happy for you guys to finally have your first vchapter out! rewriting from the very beginning definitely isn't easy but you still pushed through and I am so excited to be here for this journey!!!

I can already tell that this is gonna be a lot of fun, your art is definitely beautiful Ein and you even coloured it all! While I am personally not a big fan of the continued scrolling that webcomics have popularized, I am greatly enjoying this! It already starts out so good! Since I am reading on AO3 the pictures are so big and being greeted to Namimori by Tsuna getting a Basketball in his face is def a tone setter (Ser: who the hell threw that crappy pass, you pass in CHEST height!)

Damn you really hit home the bullying aspect that was such a joke in the OG manga. I can feel Sergey boiling in the background. AAAH I wanna beat those bullies up so badly, I really hate this. Really speaks for your art to be able to make me feel this strongly about it!!!

Aaaaww Kyoko looks so cute! Am I mistaken or did you make her appereance a bit different? Her hair seems shorter and blonder, tho I don't think that is bad! You still completely captured how cute she is. Tho I do always wonder why she is regarded an "idol" like in the manga she seemed liked but not too social with many people.

Ah yes, Mochida, that dirtbag, I mean to be fair so far he hasn'T done much. But still knowing hoiw he is in the OG I am dreading this. Also wow poor Tsuna;;; Please do not give up on life so fast QwQ

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH HE HAS A SMARTPHONE AND IS STALKING HER SOCIALS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH TSUNA NO THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO FUCKING HARD SDLKSLKDFNLNFOJ BOY PLEASE!!! Kind of expected his phone to be more demolished with how much happens to this boy all the time, like I was so convinced the boy would have more of a shattered screen lol.

Oooh you also made Nana a bit different, she seems a lot more actually concerned for Tsuna! I love it! And SDPFDLKNFLKSDNNEDS WOMAN PLS DO NOT JUST ACCEPT RANDOM MESSAGES LIKE THAT!!! Oh god how many scam messages did she already fall to- Also hello there reborn, can we talk about how they are more concerned of "aw a baby" and not "how the fuck did he get in here?" PRIORITIES MY GUYS Has nobody seen horror movies where the bad guy is a doll or a baby?!

ah yes, as per usual, Nana believes this all to be a toy and a game. THIS IS WHY I DONT WANNA WORK WITH KIDS THEY'RE SCARY!!!!

Oh boy I was so engrossed in reading--- Okay okay that Mafia seduction technoique i hope i see more of it in the future. Also HEY I AM JUST AS UNATHLETIC AS TSUNA LEAVE ME ALONE orz

But I have to say the Dying Will section of Tsuna being shot def was gruesome. Not that I mind but damn. Damn damn damn. Now its Dying Will Time~

I also thiiink the truck was purely in the anime but I am not sure either way I love the inclusion!

IS THAT A FUCKING KURUMI BILLBOARD?!?!?!?! THE FUCK?!?!?! I AM WHEEZING HOLY SHIT!!!

Tsuna being dead on the ground after he dared pull reborns cheeks sdlkfhskdfbskdfb also holy fuck you draw kyoko so cute and adorable i can see why Tsuna has a crush on her.

HIYO-TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!! IT'S HIYOTAAAN! *jumps around in my cage like a beast on steroids* HIYOTAN HIYOTAN HIYOTAN!!!! He is so cute I wanna pinch his cheeks!

Ah yes the all fated "meet me behind the dennys at 5" Kendo duel. I am looking forward to it but also surprised that Hibari isn't shutting this illegal student frenzy enabling thing down lol. Poor Tsuna, having so so much thrown at him!!! all in one day. I would be fleeing too. And can we talk about Reborns sheer strength just keeping the rope up with one hand while keeping a lecture? DAMN Apples boyfriend is a strong man.

I liked the flashbacks thqat kind of influenced Tsuna. I do hope he finds his place and his resolve. I mean I do knopw he does but you know what I mean!!!

Ah yes Mochida as usual is be3ing an asshole. "prize". What a fucking poser. I bet he wouldn't open his damn mouth if he stood in front oif someone like Lorenzo. Not just bc Lor is older and taller. The guy just has this superiority complex because Tsuna is an easy target. Bitch if you can't beat someone of your own strength class you need to shut up real fast.

Love whenever I spot Hiyori, I just go HIYOTAAAN HIYOTAAAAN!

Ava: mmh, not a bad block for a novice. (Ser: novice?! More like alien to the conceptof swordsmanship!)

Also HELL YES YOU GO TSUNA!!! GET CHEERED ON BY KYOKO!!!! should've kept your damn mouth shut Mochida!

Also god damn kudos on drawing that sniper rifle! Guns can be so damn hard to draw!

Yeah, If even Hiyo-tan can't help you, then you're terminal my guy.

I DID ABSOLUTELY NOT GET DOKIS BY THE HINT OF DERA HAHAHAHA WHAT A JOKE WHAT AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT AHAHAHA I'D NEVER-- ///////

A drone??? Curious curious! I wonder if that is Gianini.

IS THAT KURUMI?!?!?! KURUMI PEEK?!?!?! AH NICE WE GETTING TO THE JUICY BITS NOW!

Ooooh Interesting... So they used to live in namimori and it doesn't seem like Hiyori is already part of the Oniyanagi. Oh this is going to be iiiinteresting.

---

I really enjoyed this read! You have a great way of slowly adding new elements to the story without it seeming bloated and hard to follow! The art as per usual is absolutely amazing and everyone looked great! I can't help but just praise it all! I am so excited for this journey! But please take your time! This was incredibly fun and such an enjoyable read aaaah! I can't help but squeal so much!

You did an amazing job and i am so so proud of you and Sou!!!!!!

【Webcomic】 KHRe:born!!! - Chapter 1

Looks like it's going to be a long journey. And it certainly won't end even if you die!

Let's start again from the bottom! I finally managed to release Chapter 1 of the KHR(e) webcomic. It's a fan webcomic project that features a story that's sort of similar to canon, but not exactly the same. For a more detailed info on this, you can refer to my pinned post!

Anyway, you can click any of the links below to read the chapter:

I love making Simon my personal dress up doll <3

These are a bit old now, it’s been in drafts for a while cause I forgot about it, but eh.

Random explanations under a cut for funsies—

First one is pretty standard Simon fit stuff, belts armor, a tank top, boots with the fur, etc. Inspo mostly came from just looking at random pictures of belts on Pinterest and finding one with a cool like flail head on it! Which is just neat in general, I’d imagine Simon would probably find it convenient to have the different end attachments for the whip to be easily switched out, so yeahg sure he’s got it on his belt now lol. I tried looking through my boards to find the belt image but I think it may have gotten deleted :(

This one is an outfit I ran into that said “draw ” thing, also saw it on Pinterest, but it took a bit to track down the original artist of it: the artist is “ HEAVEN . “ on Pinterest, also @/luffydguzzler on Twitter. Hopefully drawing Simon and not one of my OCs in this outfit was alright, unfortunately when I ran into the post it was from someone on Pinterest who straight up stole the artwork (;_; ). That being said, if I find out that this is against any boundaries at all, I will take this drawing down. But related to the art itself, I drew him in it because the outfit ratio fit him perfectly. Tight shirt, something on the lower arms, midriff showing, tiny skirt, belts, furry chunky boots— these are all combinations he’s had in his designs before. :3

This one I also just saw a little caplet thingy on Pinterest and went “wow he’d look cute in that” and yeahg. I actually have a Pinterest board that’s entirely for random clothing I think he’d wear! Which is such a uh very normal about a character thing to have 💀.

He’s working out— POV you are Simon’s sparring partner (he’s very happy about it) (also you’re about to get kicked you might wanna block tha— oh no eee— on your left— ooo aaa oof yowch yikes—). Anyway I feel like I made his head a little awkwardly small in this hmmm. Either that or I took the photo of it at a weird angle. But yeah now you have seen Simon with leg warmers, you’re welcome!!!

“The Ghosts at the window echo all our quiet Prayers…”

Yeah so, there is definitely a theme of loss/grief this season, and the different ways of addressing and dealing with it. Of acknowledging it. And how it changes over time. These aren’t even all of them (clearly, I mean, Arthur died too—I’d count John understanding himself as like a rebirth) I just picked three I thought fit with the lyrics from “The Garden” by the Crane Wives.

OC OTP. Just a prince (Ego, the ginger) and his wonderful energy alien fiance (Serenity) who he doesn't know is an energy alien. Ego also doesn't know that the future marriage is never going to happen and he's been lied to his whole life.
