Most people think of Joe Hills as the god of literature, giving inspiration to those who need it. At surface level, it makes sense. He's often heard reciting poetry and prose to anyone willing to put up with him as she works. But Joe's not to kind of person to take things at face value, and neither should they be. So some look further, calling him the god of inspiration or artistry. "More broad", They say, "she covers not just the written word but all forms of expression". They look at not just what he says, but how, and why, and for whom. They look at their art in all forms: architecture, photography, fashion. Some feel this is still not right, and so They call her the god of the medium, whether that be in an artistic sense or in a more traditional meaning. After all, he is a ghost and a historian, a muse of art forms esoteric. They point to the Juppet as an example of this, of the fine line between the puppet and puppeteer, of possessing yourself.

They are all wrong. And yet right.

Joe Hills is the inspiration that strikes after a long night of discarded drafts. He is the person closing up shop hours after the last customer has left, having finally finished taking inventory. She is the painting finally hung up after the humidity prevented the adhesive from sticking the first dozen times. They are the calluses on the violinist's fingers after practicing the same song a hundred times to finally hit that one stubborn note.

Joe Hills from Nashville, Tennessee, is the god of perseverance.

He doesn't show it in large, grandiose displays of power. That's too cliché. She prefers a more personal approach. They're always there when the server says goodnight for the last time, making final touches to projects or jumping on pumpkins. He takes time to get the smallest details right, the ones no one but him would notice, even if this means they're moving the walls a block for the third time this week. She trades when she has no diamonds to give because sometimes capitalism forgets to pay you but you still need to eat. They're the one doing the large, menial tasks that need to get done, but worth all the time at the end.

Even before Hermitcraft, Joe Hills persevered. Often found caught in the games of the trickster god Vechs, he persevered, walking hard, standing tall, keeping her head up through it all. Deathloops, hidden traps, impossible challenges, he persevered. No matter how super hostile the landscape, Joe remained. She found themself in other death games, facing unknown faces, although one face would become familiar, another who chose to persevere. He became the face of those who never stop, a checklist that never ends, those who never rest and continue their work even in undeath.

Joe Hills from Nashville, Tennessee, is the god of perseverance.

After all, listen to the first song written in his name.

"Who's the guy who can conquer death? That's Joe Hills."

PSA ! Because I've seen it be brought up in YouTube videos, in the comments section on Itch, and in quite a few asks on Tumblr... Here are some common misconceptions about "14 Days With You" that I'd like to clear up!

14 Days With You is not an otome game; it's an amare game!! The main character (Angel) is not a female heroine/female protagonist, and they're not written to be female-coded. Yes, you have the option to customise your pronouns and how others perceive you, but there is no "default" or fixed narrative perspective for 14DWY (outside of a gender-neutral perspective).

If it isn't already obvious, Ren's characterisation heavily leans into the "dere" aspect of a yandere. He genuinely loves Angel... Just to a terrifying degree.

None of the cast members are heterosexual, so please don't assume that all of Teo's exes/flings were women, that Leon has only had girlfriends in the past, that Olivia is only attracted to good-looking men, etc. In a similar vein, I want to remind everyone that Jae-Hyun is gay and Kiara is a lesbian.

14DWY is also a romance game!! The whole point is to get to know Ren, grow closer with him, and ultimately romance him. So please stop asking me to include BTD, TDDUP, or W1WD mechanics in the game. It's completely fine if you like those types of genres — and I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum — but it's not the vibe I'm going for with 14DWY, and it's not something I want to write about.

Ren dyes his hair! He isn't wearing a pink wig.

Similarly... Violet, Jae, Moth, and Teo all dye their hair as well. But I'm happy if folks want to headcanon that "unnatural" hair colours can exist in the 14DWY universe.

Ren does not have DID or BPD. He's merely a desperate yandere who changes aspects of himself + creates different "personas" to appease Angel (and essentially become their ideal type). He definitely has a pessimistic outlook on his real self, though he does not identify or feel genuine in any of his created personas. I'm comfortable for those who have DID/BPD/etc to headcanon Ren as such, but I heavily discourage everyone else from doing so as I don't want to give them an incorrect or bad reputation.

The 18+ scenes are optional!!!!! The game is intended to be played without them — it's even turned off by default. Nobody is forced to sleep with Ren.

14 Days With You is a passion project that I work on in my free time for fun. I'm not making a profit off of it, I'm not looking to turn it into a career, and in the most /pos way possible; it's not important enough for me to make a priority. So... Please stop guilt-tripping me for updates when I already don't have enough time or luxury to work on it ;v;

The Greywaren

Quite suddenly Ronan was cross with both voices. He was cross with himself. Both sides telling him what he was, and him believing it. How long had he been asking: Tell me what I am?.

Never once had he simply decided for himself.

It wasn't a choice at all.

He woke up.
