“Stop writing villains as aroace! It’s bad and perpetuates the stereotype that aroace’s are evil!”
Okay, but have you considered that I am the evil aroace??

Before we call anon rude because let’s see it from their perspective, imagine getting an entire feast to eat. That can be pretty hard to start with so much that’s going on, but if they start with one thing they know they’ll like (aka one character they like) that can be the start for them leaping to other characters to finish the story and the bigger story. I struggle the same way to start book series if I don’t have at least one character that drives me to read it, it’s all about what can be the hook to push them through. Sounds like the anon is neurodivergent (just a guess) so they might genuinely not see it as rude and see it as a solution to even play the game to start with.
Btw absolutely adore the game, the complex and rich characters making them all so unique is amazing. The art is so pleasing to the eyes I love it!! I’m waiting for it all to get out at once so I don’t get too impatient. Shae however interests me the most, which routes will have the most lore for them? Will there be routes that give more lore in general based on decisions you make or do they all share the same amount? (I mean general lore not just Shae lore)
Apologies; we are not trying to accuse any asker of being rude! We are simply explaining our perspective as the developers / are trying to broadly encourage folks to dip their toes into other areas of the story outside of the main route(s) they're interested in, especially considering some routes will be made available sooner than others, and these other routes will likely contain additional scenes/lore of everyone's fave(s) regardless! We want to give each main cast member an equal amount of love (and lore) regardless of their overall popularity, so our goal is not to tut-tut anyone for having strong preferences for one character over the others, but rather to explain that you may be surprised by how much *more* you learn about your preferred characters in the other routes. That's all!
For Shae... Well, they were a foot soldier for one of the worst periods of the War. Lore wise, any other story that touches on the War will likely have content relevant to them and their experiences. ^^
#ask#clotho answers#edit/final note: we got a *few* asks on this subject and will not likely answer all of them for the sake of our followers' dashboards#but we also want to note that part of our encouragements here come from the fact that Flan/Keagan are our most popular characters by a lot#and we want to do what we can to gently nudge folks who may not want to romance the fem / nb characters into checking out their stories#despite not being into them romantically. this is half of why we have platonic routes to begin with#we recognize veterans to the dating sim world may feel less inclined to romance characters that don't align with their irl orientations#this isn't a bad thing. some people steer clear of dating sims altogether because they're aro or just not interested in romance stories etc#but the unintentional side effect of this is it has a chilling effect on developers even in the indie sphere to make less diverse stories#if Flan and Keagan are our most popular characters then they will be our most *profitable* characters in the long run#and as much as we would love to not care about money and just produce the story we want to tell#we live in a society (tm) and need to eat#if at the end of ndm's development we see that 90% of our engagement went toward the boys it is hard to ignore the financial incentive#to redirect our energy toward leaning into the 'tried and true' formula that assures we can buy groceries and make rent#basically what i am candidly saying here is capitalism is pretty bad for creative liberty unless you're already rich / able to self finance#which we are not. and currently none of the core devs make *anything* from ndm#it would be nice if it does turn a profit but that isn't a guarantee - which the team has accepted as a normal risk in game development#anyway this is getting rambly but the Point is that this goes beyond us wanting to make sure all sides of our story are equally appreciated#it is *partly* that - we do want players to experience the entirety of our artwork#but it's not just for our egos - it's so we can keep making art like this#i considered including this in the body of the post but money talk suuucks man#and i don't want anyone to think we're glaring at them in a holier than thou 'ah-ha! you don't want to play maeve's route because she's a#woman!' sort of way because i think that's a reductive way to look at things#people like what they like and there's nothing intrinsically wrong with that#but if you like that we're making a diverse story#with masc routes fem routes and nb routes#even if you don't personally want to romance x or y#it would help us if y'all play the platonic routes#we are trying our very very best to make the fem/nb routes interesting for Everyone so those stories don't get sidelined#and if you don't like them for their own sake - fair enough! can't win em all and we'll deeply appreciate that you tried anyway!

thinking about Princess Tutu again. 100% serious when I say that Ahiru's solo pas de deux scene was a level of badassery on par with Ashitaka pushing open that door in Princess Mononoke. absolutely hardcore
#I LOVE PRINCESS TUTU!#that scene is the rock lee vs gaara fight of shojo anime. to me#everyone should watch princess tutu absolutely one of th best anime of all time. so much fun. so creative#like its defintely a shojo its very youth oriented but that shouldnt devalue it#its sooo good! its a really cool story!!#and its Gay. in my opinion#-_-#princess tutu

Howdy, I'm still alive. Not many drawings lately, but a lot of ling fun time. I just wanted to share my crafts hehe
My niece had fun playing with the ling plushies, I taught her about the goolings, and she drew Wiwi a couple times. I made her a Wiwi plushie and I'm gonna make a Lewling and a Hoardling too since she really wants her own. Makes me happy. That's what they're made for to make folks happy.
But sewing is so tedious 😵💫
#im making gooling plushies right now maybe i can sell those too#but thinking about selling got me stressed in the first place. im not enjoying myself in anything cause i keep thinking#you have to make money out of this. so i havent been drawing cause all i can think of is#now you can open commissions soon! i cant. no i cant i mustnt#so ive just been doing various crafts and diy projects because my relationship wkth drawing is strained at the moment#idk if theres a therapist out there that is creative oriented to help me love art again because i just#art has been destroyed by monetization and its breaking my brain#so no new drawings. its too much for me right now i feel like im gonna cry now about it. i need to enjoy myself and drawing wont help#so ill post other things i do meanwhile. just to update you guys im still alive and kicking and screaming sighhh#other#crafts#wiwi#hoardling#lewling#little creatures

maybe this is just me being a skeptic but i really hate how social media-oriented yagp has been getting in recent years. it's my fault for always clicking on their story but damn
#i just really hate ads#i hate the corporatisation of creativity#all the constant posts about “check out this dancer! on our youtube! link here!” are slowly driving me insane#we get it you found out you can monetise ballet easily because all the copyright holders are long dead#theres nothing morally wrong with this i think its just a pet peeve#also the challenges#like is there anything wrong with them? no. but they are so reminiscent of mainstream child-oriented clickbait titles of youtubers#not to hold ballet in a higher regard than any other dance style or anything#but it does feel so wrong to condense such a history-rich art form into a social media challenge#i know its not that deep and theyre probably fun for some people and its easy content to make#but ultimately it's all for the money so. supreme ick

Good morning beautiful people <3
#ㅤ as per usual i have been up since 3AM bc i'm ✨ working ✨ - i have managed to clear up my likes & asks! feel super productive ngl#ㅤ but i also think i may have pinpointed the exact reason why i feel 'the ick' ( as the kids say ) every time i get on here - SO!#ㅤ i'll be hopping to work on Kitty things Sundays & Wednesdays ( you thought i was gonna say delete + remake huh? 😏 ) not only to keep-#ㅤ -my creative juices flowing but to not burn myself ( i love Kitty way too much & i don't want to take a month long hiatus again )#ㅤ i'll pop in every now & then but writing will be on a set schedule... i'll be sparse in the DMs but i am always on Discord!#ㅤ I'm half entertaining the thought of remaking some of her graphics ( the promo for example ) + i wanna be A LOT MORE plot oriented...#ㅤ ANYWAY; feel free send me ALL the inbox things! 😁😁😁 Striker's blog is getting a much needed blog makeover so i'm HYPED about that!

Man, having something that people straight up refuse to tag for (even if asked) be a hard squick/trigger makes consuming almost any erotic content ever a fucking minefield, doesn't it.
I'm so exasperated. One would think that tagging for a somewhat common kink would be in the poster's best interest as well (y'know, if only so that the people looking for that kink specifically can actually find it), but no. No, that'd probably make too much sense.
#squirrel speaks#i just wish people would tag their fucking pregnancy/breeding garbage#like what do you want me to do if you refuse to tag; filter every tense of all verbs used to talk about it?#wanna catch all creative writing that uses an expression like “a pregnant pause”????#ensure that i never again see an abortion/healthcare-oriented post?#because of this i can never see anything related to DOG BREEDS now? because fuck me I guess?#just because “oh it's common”. i am in your walls.#i will piss on all your insulation#and then you can add a content warning for that. but of course my request is far less valid isn't it#UGH ignore me I'm just grumbling. been up since 2 am and my mood? it is foul and rotten#and i just saw something that's probably gonna make me feel like shit for another 3-4 hours so. thanks for that i guess

all shall be well :')))) ALL SHALL BE WELL
#always a timely reminder for us all!#this is re: texting troubles. breadmaking shenanigans. all the things going on in the world.#on an unrelated note (i just watched miss americana today): do you (referring to tswift lovers) pray for her?#i wonder how many people are praying for her. i know for kpop there's a small fraction of kpop fans who pray for their favourite singers#this is a sudden thought because my word has she Gone Through It a lot in her life. and she DOES have this incredibly golden#and somewhat firmly oriented moral imagination when it comes to what SHOULD be in the world#(i.e. eucatastrophic turns in sad songs/lyrics; tswift clearly SEES and names heartache and sorrow but also is able to draw out#such beautiful and true images and motifs and so on and so forth) but though she says she's a Christian (in the 2020 documentary anyway) i#don't know if THE Eucatastrophe (as prof jirt would put it) is a part of her creative big picture/perspective ?#anyway love y'all happy pentecost (it's almost midnight here. alas) LOVE YOUUUU :D#songbird again

Figuring out Adams' new team because it's killing me and I make charts to cope:
Confirmed: Irey West, Jai West, Maxine Baker
Strongly hinted at: Cerdian of Shayeris, Robert Long
Very likely: Lian Harper, Mar'i Grayson, Kathy Branden
Potentially one of: Maps Mizoguchi, Mara al Ghul, Maya Ducard, Tiffany Fox, Sin Lance
Potentially one of (but unlikely): Tai Pham, Keli Quintela, Milagro Reyes
Potentially (but unlikely): Otho-Ra & Osul-Ra OR Chris Kent
Unlikely: Colin Wilkes, Johnny Tyler, Helen Jordan, Rani Carter
(Reminder: the # of kids will likely be 6-8)
#additional reminder: Adams isn't allowed to use Damian or Jon#okay final thoughts#blue for meta orange for alien green for gl and red for no powers#top two are set#third row are all extremely strong contenders#i think ONE of the red line picks could be in it as well. especially if he isn't allowed to use Lian#the bottom three lines? i would be shocked#Keli or Tai i could see. but people famously didn't like Keli and using Tai when he's under the creative control of another writer is...#it might not fly. and milagro isn't actually a gl. thats fanon#so that whole line just. is extremely unlikely.#the kent twins are in the superfam book and idk that theyd share creative control tbh#and adding chris kent back into canon after Clark adopted two other kids and the superfam is doing a whole series?#can't see editorial being okay with that#colins powers aren't really team oriented. johnny would be the third speedster on the team. helen doesn't have powers or training#and Rani... well actually idk. Gold Beetle would probably be related to Rani but... nah GB is endgame for Jai#they wouldn't put Rani and GB into Jai's storyline#imo? max 8 kids. there are already five.#so you can mix and match three other kids.#(keeping in mind that you will probably need at least one red)#tbh Sin is a very strong contender if he can't use Lian because he personally likes Sin a lot.#if Mar'i can't be used then Maps or Tiffany cause the bat rep#Kathy is just a strong contender all around. powers? check. right age? check. suit? check. experience? check. blank slate writing wise? yep#plus Adams knows about her which is half the battle#Maya would go with Kathy though. they are a package deal#oof#this is my last time posting about this i swear.... for today#going a little insane over the possibilities because this is kinda everything ive ever wanted/dreamed about#and having this actually happen would be insane#dc#dc comics

I’m going to study medicine. One of the hardest things to learn. For fun!#Meg is on some other shit#live read#re-alr

FINALLY started titanfall 2, the movement will take a little getting used to but i'm pleased to find it's way easier to pull off than i thought it would be, the ghost runner is so helpful and i like the game's clever ways of giving you Cool Badass Moments very organically.
#ignore me#i'm very early in - sewage treatment plant section pre-cain fight#i got swarmed by the ticks and megaexploded for the first time and went 'ooo this is gonna be annoying. im gonna stop for a bit'#i'm having a bit of trouble orienting myself and keeping track of my surroundings but that's how i am in Every Game i get lost super easy#and the very minimal hud/quest tracker is nice and unobtrusive but also aids me in getting lost a bit#not too much though! i get turned around a little and then i figure it out#they're good at signposting your path pretty clearly with lighting & such so i can get back on track easy#a lot of the weapons feel VERY good to use too#probably my favorite moment so far is coming back from grabbing the first battery to find the imc guys around bt#and theyre talking about scrapping and selling him and i was sneaking up stealthy#and one of them says something like 'you'll say something different when the pilot has a gun to your head'#and i was like aha! my cue! and promptly landed a headshot on All Of Them in sequence which felt SO GOOD#so my review is 10000/10 good fucking game i'm bad at it but it's great#for context i have always been hesitant about platformers/games that require you to Be Creative about Movement#bc i was traumatized in my early years by fancy pants adventure 2 NO IM NOT KIDDING#I NEVER FIGURED OUT WALL JUMPS AND I FELT BAD ABOUT IT FOR AGES AND I DO STILL THINK ABOUT IT AND GET SAD
