Guys I noticed something in the comic..

King Dice has no flower in this comic.

But in this one he does.

And what is The Devil sniffing in the newspaper?

The same fucking flower.

I love you Zack Keller and Shawn Dickinson

[dimensionau]

Whoever made this I love you.

You can not look at me dead in the eyes and say they aren’t dating… LOOK 😭😭

HELLO?? HIS BONES? Devil we talked about this ☹️/hj

He's an atheist for all the wrong reasons

Last night I managed to detangle the beginning scene of this chapter from something that felt almost impossible to finish to something actually reasonable. Which feels amazing--I've been throwing myself at that scene over and over and it felt like chipping away at an iceberg.

I just moved the argument/conversation section from before going into the gas station to back at the funeral home. Significantly less branching, and I didn't like the Ravi or Jay individual scenes nearly as much as I like the combined ones anyway.

Less amazing is the amount of the chapter I had to remove/I'll be reworking to do it, but wordcount doesn't matter if the chapter never gets finished 😔

@void-flesh asked: do you have other recs while we're on the subject

Yes, yes I do! Here's the books I read and reread the past year:

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison

I liked this book for its court intrige and enduring kindness and really unprecedent depth of storytelling

Witch King by Marta Wells

I liked this book for being a cool concept, easy to read while having deep subject matter and absolutely no romance while really being about the connection between people

Swordcrossed by Freya Marske

I liked the textile industry intrige but mostly it's about the gay swordfighting thirst

The Murderbot Chronicles by Martha Wells

I love these for being so funny, so easy to read and so contemplative about the nature of personhood and self determination

Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell

Romance that is all about personal boundaries, court intrige and Prince Kiem, one of the best people person characters I ever read.

Maurice by E.M. Forster

A classic gay novel for classic gay feelings. Gave me unexpected aro feelings as well. A happy ending despite it being a 1914 novel.

Astielle by Kitty Unpretty

I will happily accept the fact that this is a monsterfucker webnovel for the prequel chapters which are a heartbreaking account of empire building featuring Vaelon, a man so charming the moonlight grew legs to follow him around. I adore him. Also this one is free to read, but not finished yet

The Grand Princess by 墨书白

This one is a cnovel that's only partially translated, but the show is on Netflix so I'm watching that now. Don't know how it ends yet, but I love the slow romance of two political power houses who killed each other in a past life. This is the fan translation I've read

Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett

I'm rereading this one because I was told I should be falling asleep thinking about adding value to my company and it sounded so much like this person needed Mr Nutt in his life

not to talk about bleak shit on main but truly, i wish neil gaiman had just kept his mouth shut at this point. his tumblr went dead fucking silent as soon as the first allegations dropped, and that spoke volumes to me - this was a man who regularly answered asks and engaged with the platform and to this day the last post there was six months ago. he knew he was fucked. but to then go on his web blog, a site where (let's be honest) only his most loyal fans are likely to be tracking activity, and give several paragraphs of wishy-washy handwaving about "misinformation" and claims snowballing into untruths and whatever else. like. neil. stop. my respect for you is already dead in the ground, stop pissing on its grave.

And then The Devil proceeded to punch him-/j

It's just that scene from Frozen, no other context, I just wanted to draw Dice saying that lol

[dimensionau]

I'm on YouTube and these mf's appear on my FYP, whoever animated this I fucking love you because I'm crying and laughing bc the voice for King Dice caught me so off guard and I had my headphones all the way up so my soul left my body 💀🙏 https://youtube.com/watch?v=0C8qVl2DVKg&si=o4LKRK7wa6-PVmkM

[yorhanic]

Toxic old mans here smh

Okay everyone I've done it.

HERE is the new link to the cogdemos.ink version of The Lonely Shore. I'll be going through and updating all of my links quick here before bed. I'll port over the 2k special and the preview for ch3 tomorrow.

I'm going to go ahead and delete the demo off of dashingdon. I'm deeply sorry, because I know this will destroy everyone's saves, but this is what I'm most comfortable with.

Also. Technically this new demo has some ~bells and whistles~ that weren't in the old demo. There is now a stats mode (lets you know which stats are being changed/tested), a romance indicator mode (shows a little heart for romance-based choices), and a photo mode (not actually relevant yet, but will be in the upcoming chapter).

In addition, you can now select a nickname that Willow calls MC in addition to their name; there are two new job options (tattoo artist & unemployed); and skills have been. Um. Completely changed.

The stats screen looks quite different, so feel free to poke around if you'd like when you next do a playthrough. There's the new Keepsakes page I've mentioned before, as well as a Traits & Skills page, which is where you'll be able to see how I'm doing skills now.

lo! the conclusion of my phanfic bookbinding quest!

I finished binding together two final books! each one is a 144-page, 28,863-word collection of six of the phanfics i've written in 2024. the book with the starry-cover is unquestionably the neatest, prettiest book i've made since I started learning about bookbinding back in august. but i'm actually kind of emotional over both of them and think they turned out to be really cool objects.

here are some pictures i took of them on this rainy sunday morning (+ a few more under the cut) 🌧️🌧️🌧️

previous bookbinding updates: 1, 2, 3, 4
