Patch Notes: removed electronic prosthetic from the bath. made vash even more obnoxious (unrelated)

i'm so glad goncharov happened when it did, right before prolific public use of AI. that was pure honest gaslighting straight from the heart. real human whimsicality and trickery thru blood sweat and tears. we were a family. and we all gonched, together. you cant replicate that with any machine.

[ayyy-pee]

waking up freezing and shivering, teeth chattering every night because your husband is a blanket hog. you know it's not on purpose. he just can't help it. doesn't even know he does it most times. you'd think after years together you'd be used to it, but waking up curled into the fetal position as you try to retain even a smidge of warmth is something you don't think you'll ever adjust to.

so you reach behind you, feeling your spouses large form wrapped snug as a bug in your shared blanket and you grip onto the fabric. you pull as hard as you can but you don't manage to move him even an inch. you try once more...same result.

"ken..." you whisper, wrapping your arms around yourself. no response. "kento..."

he doesn't budge. you're tempted to just get up and go grab another blanket, but your husband, despite his seriousness, can get quite pouty when you do that. so you tap him hard instead sure to jab him in the spot you know is his most sensitive. this seems to do the trick as he grunts in response.

"I'm cold," you tell nanami and he sits up quickly, realizing what he's done. his pajama top hangs off one shoulder. his blonde hair is pointing every which way and sleep is heavy on his eyelids, threatening to weigh him down again any minute.

"I'm sorry, love," nanami speaks, voice rough and deep with exhaustion, but the sincerity in his apology clear.

then he's throwing the blanket back over you both. only he adds in a little extra warmth as he wraps his arm around your waist and throws a large leg over your body.

nanami buries his face in your neck, adjusting himself so that he can be as close to you as possible. only a few seconds pass before you hear his light snoring behind you. and you know the warmth you feel is from more than just his touch.

And so, the moment I’ve all been waiting for! I’ve finished coloring this comic, and I am going to post it right now.

[eddiestightywhities]

eddie's dog-sitting for a neighbour and buck goes over and everything's chill until eddie's saying words like stay and beg in this commanding tone that's giving buck a mini aneurysm each time and when the puppy obeys eddie changes it up to a smooth caramel drawl and coos “good boy!” and buck has to escape to the kitchen to shove his head in the freezer and think very hard about his life choices.

Chapter 5

It's a Christmas miracle!! At long last, Chapter Five is here with +60k new words of all-new content, including:

✅ Attend a theatre ritual ✅ Disappoint Ira ✅ Disappoint yourself ✅ Make a new friend (?) ✅ Vomit on Klaus ✅ Meet some dogs ❤

You should not need to start a new game.

I only did a very brief skim of a playtest, so please lmk if you find any typos, incorrect pronouns, wrong links, etc. As usual, I probably won't reply to bug reports but I appreciate them all :)

PSA with a mild spoiler ↓↓↓ If you refuse to reenter the Theatre, there are a series of increasingly difficult stat checks. If you fail them, you will be forced into returning to the Theatre. It's not a bug, its a feature

and PSA 2: idk what the fuck happens in a theatre ritual. haven't been able to figure it out in the last six years and i sure as hell can't now.
