Just reminding myself how much I fucking love the the Lone Wolf Gamebooks. Yes I spent all week blazing through the lot. Yes I still definitely ship Lone Wolf/Banedon. If this is an adventure and I'm the hero, and I'm gay, then Lone Wolf gets to be gay too. QED.

sleep deprived headcanons

joe walsh: mommy issues and choking kink, will probably be rude and steal from you, acts like a man outside but will cry in your arms if you show him an ounce of kindness

oliver quick: sadist dom, aggressive top, won't take no for an answer, he bites and gaslights, will actually try to choke you out with his cock until you pass out for fun, willing to power bottom for felix only but will bitch about it

curtis biddick: lil needy princess, likes to be lifted up, often pretends to be black out drunk with his ass out just to see what bucky will do to him, is pouty, will knock out anyone who so much as look bucky sideways

dympna devers: has never seen a pussy in his life, closeted homosexual (everyone knows), will try anything to get a peek at arm's body, calling him a good boy, is always trying to get arm coked up somewhere quiet hoping he'll get the hint but arm is too damn slow

@fedyascoffin requested more ;_;

dominic kearney: has a lot of trouble separating sex and violence, probably thinks women are into non consensual acts because that's all he knows. it will take someone kind, gentle and patient to help him heal and let him blossom into his own he probably will eat your pussy for breakfast. i actually think he'd be an amazing partner and a really good father as he is so in touch with his inner child

tommy: i could see her transitioning in a couple of years tbh, she's just a princess (with a freaky heart). i think she loves it when the bullies pin her against walls in quiet alleys, and i think she pretends losing the dope on purpose so her uncle will beat her to a pulp and fuck her like the little slut she is

From Joe Dever's Combat Heroes

[lots-of-little-books]

So I've tried my hand at bookbinding!

I think we can all agree that books are pretty cool. The problem is that not enough things that could be books are actually available in print. I have on occasion tried to bind my own books, but only recently have I made something that I think actually came out nice! So behold!

Technically not miniatures as they are both 5 1/4 inches in height, but I am happy with them!

The books I bound are the first two of Joe Dever's Combat Heroes series. These two books as a set are a functional first-person shooter game. You and a friend would each get one book, flipping to different pages depending on how you move- like a choose-your-own adventure book for two players!

I first heard of these books from this one YouTube video. I love it when books have weird interactive features like this, so I tried to track down some copies of these books for myself. But I just couldn't find them anywhere. It looks like they weren't in print for very long, and no used copies were available anywhere.

I did, however, find PDFs of the books online. (Legitimate, licensed PDFs, no less!) It's really great of the author to distribute his work online, but the whole appeal of Combat Heroes is that it uses physical books. A PDF of an interactive book just feels like a video game with an incredibly slow frame rate, y'know? So naturally I thought this would make a great project for bookbinding.

And the books came out great! I'll probably try making the next pair of books in the series eventually, when I find the time.
