there's something rumbling in the streets. kicking around in the sheets. black, and blue, and as real as a bruised eye. a split lip. some gross, unsightly thing, that mari dai thinks she ought to carve right open. unzip to its bones. peel back layers, until the grotesque rears its ugly head. she heard it through the grapevine. crooned sweet between the lines. she followed it home; crawled inside its mouth. looking for nothing but trouble, and tussles, and tough guys to send flying— first rule of fight club: don't talk about fight club.
"i explicitly told you not to say my name." — @monstroum, the narrator.
second rule of fight club? ... well, now this one she'll have to stick around to find out. "touchy." mari's lips make the shape of an O, before licking clear to a smile. a bat of her lashes nearly seems innocent, mild, a naive indication to brighter futures— are you fooled? "relax," a foot props itself underneath the bar stool, fingers dancing around the rim of a glass. scraped knuckles, as evidence, marr tanned flesh. "i'm not breaking any r — rules, am i? just having a conversation, and as far as i know—" darkened gaze flickers, focuses, and fixates. "that makes me just as innocent as anyone else here."

hello you are really funny and have good takes and I have a puppy crush on you??? can you please tell me more about your visual novel :) what is your favorite page you've drawn so far?
hehe thank u :3c this is so flattering!
since u didn't specify what u want to hear about my visual novel, I'm just gonna ramble about what's on my mind with it if that's ok :-) (and I'll share my fav pages at the end ofc)
first random thought: the novel presents the character Case as the narrator/protagonist, but I think the secret real protagonist is Dane. case is in charge for the first chapter & most of the second chapter, but in the second chapter there's a turning point where dane becomes the center of the narrative (even as the story is still told from case's POV). I think this is fun. dane is the best character, and that's an objective fact.
second random thought: this is subject to change as I continue working and drawing from different sources, but right now some of the media that's inspiring my vn are: psycholonials, echo vn, the last house on dead end street, nekromantik, interview with the vampire (tv), hardcoded, midori, homestuck, fight club (book), and hellraiser.
third random thought: I think a big thing I'm worried about is the story (once it's finished) being misinterpreted. if it gets downloaded by Anyone who isn't one of my immediate friends/followers, I think there's a good chance someone's gonna miss the point or get "the wrong thing" out of it, as is the inherent nature of art. and I try to find peace with this, especially since it'll still be many months At Least before it'll be ready for release (if not longer considering I keep bouncing between different projects). but it's a story about a violent and unhealthy sexual lesbian relationship. + it deals with themes of kink, depression/mental health, transphobia, misogyny, and people living on the fringes of society. these are all themes that interest me, especially in horror, but they're also very prone to sparking backlash especially when coming from a smaller creator. or if not backlash, then the themes being flattened by the force of fandom culture. I spend a lot of time thinking about hypothetical outcomes like "what if I get called out for romanticizing transphobia, because I depict a character experiencing it" or "what if people ship case and dane (<-something that would be fine on it's own fwiw) so hard that they ignore the messier and more thematically relevant aspects of their relationship". or omg I Especially worry about "what if people see a depiction of a realistically messy kink relationship, decide it's wholly bad and evil, and therefor determine the story must be anti-kink or bad kink representation or something".
it's funny that these are the things I worry about actually, because irl I'm always watching horror that's way less sensitive or good-intentioned than my work is, and I'm always finding things to enjoy about it anyway (or often Because of the way it is - sorry for finding the horror genre interesting, flaws and all! as if it's my fault). like really and truly the internet is just a moral OCD generator. and it's my awareness of that that's pushing me to keep working on my visual novel despite my fears <3
also the most realistic outcome continues to be "like 5-10 people download it, only half of them finish it, and they just think it's like.... weird but alright".
as for my favorite page so far, it'd be one of these:
(cw for a guro image under the cut!!)
---
(the second image is censored for tumblr. & I'm hoping what's still visible doesn't get me in trouble.)
Tumblr media
this first image is my fav cause case is both scary and kinda hot... and I'm into that. I'm not a masochist but I'd let her tie me up and beat me with her crowbar at least once. whatever. this drawing isn't technically done yet but I just need to add more filters/effects to it basically.
Tumblr media
this second image is my fav cause it's just really pretty to look at imo. I did a more painterly style with it (different pages have completely different art styles & I don't care) and In My Humble Opinion I think it captures a really nice balance between horror/disgust and eroticism, which is what I need it to do for the scene it's in. idk what other people see in it, especially in this post where it's removed from context lol oops, but whenever I look at it I simultaneously feel the emotions "wow this is so beautiful" and dread. which is great, that's such a good combo of emotions. I love dread!! give it up for dread!

Anon said: Congrats on the 1k milestone!! And for the event could I remain anon? Thank u!!
This is probably one of my favorite screenshots. It's so funny that Riddle started touching you, for which Jade started to fight him. Outcome of the fight: you died
yandere!Riddle Rosehearts x you x yandere!Jade Leech
Perhaps you expected too much from student life, but one way or another, all your expectations were met with a vengeance. Night Raven College was everything you imagined and even more. You were able to make friends, went in class, and to join a club. The head of the dorm suggested you join his. You did not like horses, but the mountains have attracted you for a long time. So when you found out that there was such a club in college, you immediately went there without a second's hesitation.
It wasn't the first thing that came to your mind. How did you not think that you would become the second participant. Well, not everyone liked gargoyles either - you heard about another club with one member. The President scared you at first, but after the first campaign you were completely captured. It turned out that he loved the mountains with the same passion as you, except that his interest was much inferior to mushrooms.
He showed you so many new species that you had no idea about before. Also he shared with you his other hobby - decorating aquariums. You thought that it was insanely cute. So somehow you tried to make something similar yourself and gave it to him.
However, with time it became more difficult to pay attention to the club, especially when Riddle began to party more often than usual. You didn't mind, but this was getting pretty annoying. Looking at the many colorful cakes on the plates, you thought about the fresh mountain air, about planning your next hike, about anything but the place where you were now. Therefore, you, looking around and realizing that no one was looking, decided to quietly slip away. Might be Jade hadn't left yet. You might still be able to catch him.
You successfully managed to get into the room of mirrors, but before you could rush to the club room, a displeased voice that you heard so often lately came from behind you. "Unauthorized leaving a mandatory event is a direct violation of the rules. Name, I am ready to turn a blind eye to your misconduct if you immediately return back with me."
Rosehearts' tone didn't bode well, but you were too tired of everything. In principle, walking around with a collar for a couple of days didn't sound so bad. So you turned around and said as firmly as you could, "I'm sorry, dorm head, but I have urgent business. I don't mind accepting punishment later, but now let me leave."
Riddle frowned, it was obvious that he was not satisfied with your answer. However, you did not intend to retreat, continuing to look at the young man with melting confidence. With more and more vivid irritation on his face, he began to slowly approach you, closing the distance. You didn’t like it, so you repeated his actions, retreating. Soon you felt like you had reached the wall, the path further was closed.
At that moment, the young man extended his hand to your face, from which you instinctively closed your eyes. After a second, you opened them, noticing that he propped up the wall behind you on both sides with his palms, completely limiting your movements.
"A good student is obliged to give all for the good of the dormitory and college, but the more I watch you, Name, the less I see the reflection of these words in you," the closeness began to create a feeling of discomfort. You glanced at the aisles, hoping that someone would come and save you from this situation. "You're coming back with me right away and getting rid of all sorts of distractions. By all, I mean absolutely everything."
As Riddle's face got even closer that you could feel his breath on your lips, another voice came out that you'd rather not hear, not in this situation. "Oya, what an interesting observation. I didn't know problems in Heartslabyul were handled like that. Name-san," Jade addressed you. "I was wondering what could have been holding you up so long, and it looks like I was able to find the answer to my question. Riddle-san, please stand back, your behavior in this situation is unacceptable."
You noticed that Rosehearts made no inch to move away. As well as the fact that Leech's gaze became even colder than before. There was still a smile on his face, although the atmosphere around was almost sparkling with tension.

â†Ș  GUIDELINES
Tumblr media
ïżœïżœ JAMIL VIPER
jamil never honestly paid them much mind in the beginning, mostly because he was babysitting watching over kalim.
he probably started to notice them more when they started participating in club sports and the magishift tournaments.
the reason they start interacting because one of their lizards, their asian water monitor to be exact, ended up getting out and saving jamil from a beetle.
queue them running up, heaving a massive lizard in their arms, and apologize for starting jamil mistaking his yell of fear for the beetle for their fear of their scaly baby.
the two strike up a conversation and sort of hit it off after that point, more or less because they constantly come up to him when they see him and start talking afterwards.
jamil has the underlying inferiority after constantly having to put himself below kalim, therefore doesn’t do well with those who look down on him or challenge his worth.
with his s/o, they understand that feeling because everything they have done in life was to fight and prove themselves of being someone worthy.
knowing about each other’s pasts and how each of them has to fight to be even glanced at as someone worrying is part of what brings them together.
the both of them have a lot of untapped or unrecognized potential but it would get better.
the two of them compliment each other in many ways and tend to be the leverage the other can use to bring out the best of themselves.
jamil is the type to actually train with his s/o, while he might not be trained in the same swordsmanship art as them, it’s an enjoyable moment for him because it’s just him and his s/o.
most time it happens he just stumbles upon his s/o practicing and joins in, as much as he loves watching it feels far more intimate to participate in their training because it’s almost like a dance between opponents.
jamil braids his own hair with magic and having a s/o who also has long hair, he would offer to do their hair for them rather happily, be it with or without magic, but he does enjoy running his fingers through their dark hair.
if his s/o asks him if they can braid his hair, he might just pass on to the next life right then and there. catch his s/o decorating his hair with unique trinkets from their home too.
jamil has grown up at the constant service of other people, so his s/o offering to do something for him is not only surprising but extremely heartwarming.
and sharing similar backgrounds he and his s/o would do small services for each other as a sort of show of their affection for one another.
as a person who keeps lots of reptiles, they introduce all of their scaly babies to jamil rather early on, if only to say they have a special fondness for even their beloved viper.
Tumblr media
— LEONA KINGSCHOLAR
of course he found them annoying at first but it’s also not every day someone dares to square up with him. he’s used to submission and compliance from others out of fear.
he finds them overly annoying but they always seemed to run into each other until one day they actually got to talking.
turns out they were quite dedicated to their family.
leona has never had a great relationship with his family, so he doesn’t quite understand how someone could be so devoted to their family to put themselves in harm’s way for them.
is not always the most respectful of his dearest s/o but when he steps too far out of line you can bet they’re setting him straight again.
leona is extremely impressed with his s/o skills, particularly their swordsmanship.
these two are literally yin and yang when it comes down to it, opposites but they perfectly balance each other out to keep each other in check.
he likes to watch them practice on the ground after classes when he’s lounging and napping. they always have such an adorably serious expression and appear almost as if they’re dancing.
absolutely will drag his s/o from their practice to nap with him in the gardens.
other times he just plops in their lap while they’re reading or studying.
is actually very impressed, if not a little jealous, of their defensive magically abilities.
leona’s specialty is ancient curses. his s/o specialty is defensive magic, particularly against curses.
not that he would ever throw a curse at them but his s/o has already proven to break more than a few of his little testers for them.
learns about their background somewhere down the line of being together.
his s/o was very reluctant to talk about it given that he was a prince, so trying to explain the work and hardships they had to endure to support and protect their family, particularly their father, seemed like a bad conversation.
leona is actually very attentive when they finally open up and it makes more sense to him the more he hears.
he understands to a degree, but again he never had to struggle with wealth or safety, nor did he have the same dedication to his family due to childhood complications. 
Tumblr media
— RUGGIE BUCCHI
found them interesting right off the bat. they were peculiar in ways he couldn’t quite place.
really started to like them when they told leona off one time. ruggie expected them to back down from the savanaclaw dorm leader when he started growling but they did not.
much like leona and his s/o— these two are a balance of each other, yin and yang, and his s/o often likes to remark.
his laid back and carefree nature does clash with their dedicated nature though. it’s a problem sometimes, especially when it comes to why his s/o works so hard.
it’s times like those that ruggie finds he doesn’t know a lot about his s/o, particularly their past. which he understands, as he’s sensitive about his own too, but still his s/o is a mystery to him.
it does take a lot for his s/o to open up about what they’re so focused and determined to become a great mage. and it turns out it’s all for their family, particularly their father.
that brings a new side of them to light for ruggie, brings him to admire them that much more because all their goals were never really for them.
genuinely sees a lot of similarity between him and his s/o’s pasts, sure they’re different but both of them had to learn and adapt to survive—whether it be for themselves or for those around them.
loves his s/o unique magic, being quite a prankster himself, ruggie has thought of 101 uses for his s/o magic that does not involve its usual purpose like roasting marshmallows.
however he does not like being in it’s path as he has been singed by it before ( of no fault of his s/o since they did warning him ).
in awe at his s/o swordsmanship and talent at defensive magic but doesn’t admit it.
he likes to watch but tries to be sneaky about it. getting caught causes his cheeks to tint pink and he will absolutely brush any and everything his s/o says about him staring off.
his s/o culture is vastly different from the one he knows from the afterglow savanna. so he’s curious.
will absolutely ask his s/o to prepare him tea or cook a dish from their home, whether or not they are a decent cook he will eat whatever the offer.
Tumblr media
— HEADCANONS ABOUT THIS TWST!MULAN
dresses rather ambiguously leaning masculine but can absolutely slay a skirt and heals.
everyone at night raven college actually thought they were a guy for the longest time until a conversation struck up and they mentioned they were actually nonbinary.
everyone swears their unique magic is shapeshifting because they change their presentation, style, and outfits so beautifully but literally everyone never knows what they’ll look like next.
luxurious, soft hair that’s darker than a starless night. often tied up to keep it out of their face.
red is their signature color.
their father is very frail and was deemed medically unfit to preform his job, so his dear child took his place to support their family.
the only reason they’re even a nrc is because their family persuaded them to go & eventually they agreed if just to have a way to support their family and make them proud.
from an ancient line of warriors in the war against dark magic, users were renowned for their skill with a blade and their magic against curses.
best class is obviously defense magic, more grounded in combat against curses, but no one has beat them on the defense yet anyways.
also exceptionally skilled with a sword. practices daily before or after classes to keep those skills sharp.
floyd calls them “sea dragon” ( shīdoragon-chan ) after the leafy sea dragon.
reptiles freaking love them. is constantly being stalked by some scaly friends. and yes, they absolutely do talk to them all.
on that note they also have so many reptiles in their room. whoever their poor dorm leader is, better pray for them, because it’s not uncommon for a scaly friend to get out of their enclosures and wander around looking for their master.
is a member of the horse riding club.
unique magic would be called dragon’s guidance and it’s incantation is: “ancestors hear my plea, bring honor to my family and watch over me. dragon’s guidance.” 
the magic brings to life a chinese dragon made from the sparks of fireworks from their hands. ( if you’ve ever seen the fellowship of the rings, imagine the firework dragon merry and pippin set off. or a similar firework dragon george & fred weasley from harry potter set off in the fifth movie ).
it acts as a sort of ‘guide’ towards their goal ( for example, finding the way out of the woods if they are lost ).
however their unique magic also has other purposes, as it can act like a signal flair, works well for parting thick crowds ( no one wants to get burned after all ), or a light source briefly before the sparks fizzle out.
