Nothing like the leaders of an elite army battalion raiding a kitchen like newborn dear cause none of them know how to actually cook.

In case it wasn't obvious I had stupid amounts of fun drawing this one. It was meant to be a silly warm up sketch but hahaha cut to a few hours later and I put my whole ass into drawing these dorks.

Public Demo Update 9/29/2024

The public demo has been updated. Play the updated demo here!

Content Warning: The added branch of the demo includes violence, mild descriptions of corpses, and panic associated with claustrophobia (if chosen).

Keep reading for a brief list of changes, which can also be found here.

The entirety of the Team B branch has been added, concluding the different branches that can be chosen when dealing with Janus Terminal. All branches are now playable until the "aftermath" section, at which point the demo ends.

Join Kiran in the Team B branch and witness their very hands-on ways of dealing with obstacles. Share a conversation or two. Chill out and have just a little moral quandary, as a treat. Nothing crazy happens in this route. It's a lazy river adventure.

None of the previously existing variables were altered, so old saves might still work. If you experience any errors when using an old save, please attempt to replicate the error on a brand new save before reporting. Thank you!

Other changes include:

General grammar and spelling fixes

Minor plot revisions to aid with continuity

~Small references to objects in certain scenes. Honestly, this change might not even be noticed. 😂

When talking with Zero in Chapter 2, conversation with her should now correctly reference the route you chose in Chapter 1

~The variable in this scene incorrectly referenced a ch2-specific variable instead of a ch1-specific variable, causing the scene to default into thinking the reader had taken the "talk" route no matter what. Now it will recognize which chapter 1 route you picked.

Fixed a broken link (AGAIN) in the Team A/Team B routes, resulting from a misspelled variable.

~You should now be able to attempt to intimidate the raider in the escape pod bay.

~This error was reported multiple times over multiple updates both public and early access, and every time I found something else wrong with the clause in question. It should be working correctly now. If it isn't, I'm going to run into the woods never to be seen again. Or perhaps shoot myself into the sun, whichever feels more appropriate when it happens.

He's beauty, he's grace...

He's kind of... odder-looking in the face. Huh.

Following an impulse poll you were all kind enough to play around with me on, the winner of the poll for a new minecraft skin is Sommie! (Now extra long and cursed-proportioned.) As also featured in Sharena Week, not only am I making Sommie's skin available, but previous skins, Kiran and Sharena too!

For instructions on how to install skins, view the read more below!

For Sommie's skin, download the following image:

For Kiran / The Summoner's skin, download the following image:

For Sharena's skin, download the following image:

But wait, there's more!

You may be wondering: Wait, Sharena looks a little different from last time. And the structures look weirdly familiar. And what's that on Sharena's head and arm?!

That's because the world currently featured is the Hermitcraft world (Season 9, this being specifically the Bedrock version), and as an apology for stealing borrowing the world as a quick backdrop, here's some other goodies to mess with for those of you who have your own skins and want to either become summoners of your own, or walk away with some Jellie-themed Scarland goodies.

With your preferred skin, save the following images to overlay it for summoner clothes or Jellie accessories:

And that's all for now! Continuing on with the polls and doing it in order of votes (yes I've watched), next up will be Lif, followed by Robin and Alfonse.

To install all the skins, you must have Minecraft, and you must do the following (Note that all skins shown here assume it's proportioned to the Steve/wide style skin and has not been tested on Alex/slim style skins.):

Save all skin files you want as a png and make sure to name them and save them where you can easily find them.

Log into your minecraft account in the hub

For Java players, go to the Skins tab, and click on New Skin. Browse and upload the skin file, name it however you like, and make sure to set it to Wide. Save or Save & Use the skin.

For Bedrock players, go into your Bedrock game and go into Dressing Room. Choose any skin slot that you don't mind using for your new skin (note that you can only save one custom skin and multiple skin slots featuring a custom skin will default to whichever current custom skin you were currently using last). Click on Change Classic Skin (if this is not visible, click on Edit Character then click on the coat-hanger icon on your left). Click on the grey, blank model under "Owned Skins", then click Choose New Skin. After uploading the skin you want, click on the right model and exit out of the menu to save this current skin.

Note for Bedrock players: Custom skins cannot be used in console, and custom skins will NOT work in official minecraft event servers such as the (currently ongoing) MCC bedrock world. This is not the same as a marketplace skin (which is selectable outright in its own group) and custom skins will default to one of the OG Minecraft skins in event servers.

wait that's so embarrassing omg because i got 9/31 mexican states but im neither mexican in nationality nor heritage .. theyre also not blasted everywhere on global media either. how do you live in the USA and only know 5-6 states 😭 kiran how are people like this

what really gets me is that it's not just a lack of curiosity but a petulant, hostile rejection of any information about other people as though being asked to know or care about anyone other than themselves and their immediate surroundings is so annoying they can't help but lash out. like they react to being asked to care as though the idea is a harassment. it's genuinely unfathomable to me like it makes me feel nuts 😭 if someone can't be fucked to learn the most basic info about people who live 200km from them they are definitely not putting that effort in for people who live 5000km away. it's just baffling

[riordanverserpdatabase]

We're back for day three users!!! Let's see who's next!!!

Cabin 9 - Hephaestus

Here's our first vote of the day!!!

Leo, why would you be a good fit for head counselor? @fire-boy-official

It would be funny.

Autry, why would you be a good fit for head counselor? @autrythethingmaker

I'm older, and I have a lot of siblings back home. It's second nature for me to take care of my cabin, and I like doing it. They're all that matters to me.

Cabin 9, let's hear what you have to say!!

My Control 2 Wishlist

I've had this on my mind the last few weeks after seeing Alan Wake 2 and what Remedy's really capable of when they push the limits of genre and storytelling. No one asked for this list, but I thought it would be fun to divulge some of my thoughts on the matter.

More Music

This list would be remiss if I didn't say I wanted a real musical number for Control. I want singing. I want choreography. Drama. Poets of the Fall jamming out even more. Maybe more of Ahti's dulcet singing voice. Maybe even Darling's too? A duet?

I want even more variety with the genres, too. Give us a love ballad. Give us more storytelling through music.

2. A Mixture of Enemies

I want Jesse to fight more monsters than just the Hiss. I want her to fight paracriminals, especially.

3. More Altered Items and OOPs

Mostly the latter. I would love to hear more about the OOPs Northmoor bound and used.

4. More Inter-Departmental Drama

I want to hear what people think about Jesse as Director following the Hiss invasion. Do people still feel as inspired by her?

5. A LITTLE More Tie-Ins with Alan Wake

I don't want this to swing too hard in the Alan Wake pendulum, but I think there's so many questions regarding the world at large through Alan Wake's story, I want to see some plot threads get tied up through Control.

I still want the story to focus on the Bureau and its agents, but I think it's fine to bring in characters from AW2, namely Anderson and Casey. I also want to know how the Oceanview ties into everything.

6. More Kiran Estevez, and an Update on the Bureau at Large

What it says on the tin. Agent Estevez was a badass. Give us more. Also tell us about her ex-wife and about her rebound relationship she definitely had (or have her get back with her wife).

What happened to the Bureau over the last few years? What's going on? We need an update.

7. More Darling, More Trench

This wouldn't be a wishlist without including them. I'm biased. I love them so much your honor and I want Trench to come back, either as a mentor or in the flesh because why not? Give us a chance to even play as either of these characters for a spell.

8. More Uh, Horniness?

Look, I'm not talking about outright explicit sexual content. But let's be honest. Alan Wake 2 was a bit more horny than it had any right to be. Explain yourself, Sam Lake. Explain yourself, Remedy. Keep bringing hot people doing hot things, especially with the use of FMV. Your fans will love it.

8. The Actual Number 8: More Slice of Life

What I'm genuinely alluding to, all joking aside, is more slice of life interjected into the Bureau's dynamics. More everyday banter. Maybe I just want to see people flirt with Jesse a little. Maybe some gentle nudging from Polaris for Jesse to let down her hair a little.

9. A Follow-Up With Dylan

I think for Jesse's character development, it will be important to address Dylan and what's his status. By extension, I would love to hear more about his potential connection to Mr. Door.

10. More FMV

Goes without saying, but this should become Remedy's signature cherry on top with their games. They have perfected the style and I hope to see more of it.

[there-will-be-a-way]

Introduction to my parts

1. Chris | 2. Kiran | 3. Tato

4. Adrian | 5. Young N. | 6. Freya

7. BR | 9. Amely

Chris

Chris is a part who escapes real life by writing or playing video games. He comes out when I am stressed and flees from the world. He carries some heavy depression and feelings of alienation. The whole world is "too much" for him and he just wants to be left alone.

Kiran

I have no idea who this guy is. The only reason I know of his existence is that he has a profile in our SimplyPlural app and has written a message before.

Tato

Tato is a part who holds the positive memories of living with our family and caring for the horses. She misses our old life and has trouble with us being trans - she is the only part who still views us as a whole as a woman.

Adrian

Adrian is the part who holds our addictions. He is very depressed, suicidal and impulsive. He feels hopeless and stuck, as if every try to get better is in vain.

Young N.

Young N. is between 15 and 17 years old. He remembers some of our trauma and is angry about it - he is especially angry at the older parts who are in denial. He likes listening to Linkin Park and Rap and generally fits the role of an angry, angsty teenager.

Freya

Freya is a gatekeeper who can open "portals" in our inner world and move parts from one place to another. She is grumpy and shows she cares via tough love. She comes out in high stress situations and goes through the motions like a robot (aka without any feelings that make her "weak").

BR (aka "Business Rose")

BR is the responsible adult in our system. She handles appointments and deals with angry men, or people who make us uncomfortable in general. She is a huge fawner.

Amely

Amely is about 15 years old and a part who is loyal to our family. She is really homesick, although she remembers the trauma we went through in our childhood home. She carries a lot of guilt about being "a bad daughter" and cries easily.

Other parts:

N.

N. is a gatekeeper and our Big Boss who doesn't like being talked about so I leave it at that.

Darius

Darius is a social part who comes out only around our sister or parents. He formed during our first stay at a psych ward and fills the role of appearing to be happy, funny and easy going - he doesn't allow people to see our "broken" side.

Rose

Rose has been dormant for years. She holds the trauma with an ex partner and some of our family trauma. She was very caring towards other parts and worked hard on our healing.

"Me"

Me is a part who practices zen buddhism and helps other parts.

[perenlop]

OOPS i forgot to send you some pmd questions too. 3, 4 and 9 ^^

YAYYY its ok love <3

3. fav partner character?

Honestly, I constantly flop between Explorers and Super. I guess if we go to my specific interpretations (Nimbus and Nova) it's Super? I think they're the best-written one at the very least.

4. what did you name your hero and partner characters? and why?

Nuri (Rescue Hero): Nuri can mean "my light" in arabic and "world" in korean. I figured both were fitting considering her role in the plot, both genuinely and ironically since she's a pretty terrible hero at first. (Nuri is on a redemption quest as opposed to canon) Despite her rough start, she ends up becoming so important to so many people...

Chip (Rescue Partner): It's partly because the name is just super cute for a Skitty, and it's also a reference to his tooth and the phrase "chip off the old block" considering how much he takes after his rescuer father.

Rin (Explorers Hero): Tbh I don't remember my original reason for naming her that. I think it's because the name can mean "dream" in japanese and that's important to pmd2 hero's deal? I don't recall though.

Nimbus (Explorers Partner): Nimbus clouds!

Eris (GTI Hero): Eris means "strife" and is a reference to the Greek Goddess! I didn't pay too much attention to the Greek part though tbh. The name refers to how Hydreigon chose him as a Hero on accident and turned him into an unfitting Pokemon, so he had a hard time adapting to his situation and believed that he'd never be able to stop the Bittercold because he'd only make it worse with his own mental illness.

Kiran (GTI Partner): Kiran is an Indian name that refers to a ray of light, and it can also mean hope! Perfect for Kiran's goals of creating a Paradise and spreading hope and sympathy across the land. Also how xe's the light of Eris's life...

Kit (PSMD Hero): Can mean hope and hero! Also very simple and cute, which fits Kit.

Nova (PSMD Partner): Astrology/Universe themed, which fits with her true identity, but also means "new"...

9. what do you ship in the games? just like. in general.

Hmmm that's a bit difficult to answer because I'm not a huge shipper anymore... I like polyam future trio, romantic pmd2 hero/partner and psmd hero/partner (but not for pmd1 or gti). Hydreigon/Eris is a ship I REALLY wanna do more with.... Gengar/Nuri is like a joke ship to me and idk how seriously I'm really taking it since I don't know if I want all of my heroes to get into a romantic relationship, but I love the idea of it.

[bethanyactually]

9 people you'd like to get to know better

I was tagged by the lovely @pixiestickers--thanks!

3 Ships: Nancy/Ace from the CW's Nancy Drew, Bellamy/Clarke from The 100, Ben/Devi from Never Have I Ever

I'm listing ones I've most recently read fic about, but really the one that's living in my brain rent-free is Nancy/Ace, as anyone who's followed me for the past couple years is unsurprised to hear. Bellamy/Clarke is an old ship but I've recently been comfort-reading a lot of @ponyregrets's excellent fic. And Ben/Devi are blorbos-in-law written beautifully by @catty-words, whose fic I've recently beta-read.

First Ship Ever: uhhh what metric are we using? The first pair I ever remember thinking, 'they're both so nice, they should get married' about was Bob and Linda from Sesame Street, when I was about 4. When I was a bit older, I watched Remington Steele with my mom and thought Laura and Steele should definitely kiss, partly because my mom thought so. David and Maddie on Moonlighting were probably the first ship I could rightfully call my blorbos. The first ship that made me think, "I bet someone on the internet is talking about them," was Mulder/Scully. The first ship I read fic for was Chuck/Sarah from Chuck.

Last Song:

Last Movie: I think it was Elemental, which we watched in Oregon with my best friend and her family when we were visiting a couple weeks ago.

Currently Reading: Re-listening to the Murderbot series in anticipation of System Collapse being released next week, currently in the middle of Exit Strategy. Just re-read @ponyregrets's excellent The 100/The Good Place fusion series, Knocking on Heaven's Door.

Reading The Canterbury Tales with Elliora for school. And we just started reading A Midsummer Night's Dream out loud and it's been SO FUN because Elliora is loving it. We're reading it fairly slowly, with lots of stopping to discuss what things mean, and she finds it hilarious how similar the sentiments of these 16th-century characters are to humans today. She especially liked the lines, "You have her father’s love, Demetrius; Let me have Hermia’s. Do you marry him," when I explained that was basically Lysander saying, "If you like Hermia's dad so much, why don't you marry him." (My kid is enjoying Shakespeare!!!)

Currently Watching: Star Trek Lower Decks, perpetually rewatching Nancy Drew and Elementary, just started a Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency rewatch with @pressdbtwnpages that we're gonna get back to any day now, need to watch like the last four D20 series while I crochet this blanket I'm about to start working on for my best friend's sister.

Currently Consuming: Coffee

Currently Craving: a visit with friends in California I haven't seen in entirely too long

low-key, no-pressure tagging Corissa, Chash, and Kelsey since I mentioned them in this post, along with @demigodofhoolemere, @kiran-wears-science-blues, @somethinginthestatic, @mumbledletters, @the-errant-bard, @pepperf, and anyone else who'd like to do this!

[hulloitsdani]

DAY 9: HALLOWEEN!!! HELL YEAH!!!

Someone really has to take these ruffles away from me.

Vampire Kiran, what else can I say! Drawing teeth is fun! Found this pose on Pinterest and decided to keep it simple after the brave alt. I wanted to lean away from a more typical Dracula type, both to avoid similarities to the bridal alt and Henry's Halloween alt. So I landed on a more "blood on the white cravat" type beat. Is going a little feral. As a treat. Might be preparing to claw your eyes out or give you a really big hug who knows.

[butchkaramazov]

Chapter 9

The car rolled to a stop as I noticed the familiar green gates of Paro’s house. Kiran shifted the gears, turning to look at Paro snuggled up in my arms. They looked at my despairing eyes and her peaceful form melded into my body. 

“What are you planning to do with that?” they asked pointedly.

“I’ll do what I have to do, I guess,” I muttered.

Kiran put their hands up in surrender. “I have no headgear on me, so you do you,” they said, opening the car door for me.

Slowly, I shifted Paro’s position, lightly placing my left hand at her neck and the other at her waist. I shifted towards the door, her head in the crook of my neck. Kiran guided me out and held the gate open. “Careful,” they murmured.

Opening the door to Paro’s flat, I turned to look at him. “Thank you,” I said. Kiran waved, a beaming smile on his face.

I carried Paro up the stairs, past Madame Fosco’s house. I chuckled inwardly at the thought of her seeing me carrying a very drunk Paro up the stairs at 9 p.m—especially with Paro’s parents off on another business trip. How many business trips can one manage, honestly?

Before long, I had placed Paro on her bed, trying not to stare at her peaceful form. I almost stood up to get myself a glass of water, when I heard a muffled gasp and felt Paro’s hands on mine. I sat down again, gently holding her hands between mine. She opened her eyes.

“Renu,” she whispered. 

I leaned towards her, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “Go to sleep, doofus.”

Blatantly disobeying my words, she rolled over to the side. I tried not to be too offended. “Renu, did you bring me here? All by yourself?” she murmured, her voice raspy.

“You were pretty light,” I laughed. “It wasn’t very hard.”

Paro struggled to keep her eyes open, and I wondered how a person could look so beautiful even in such a state. “Renu,” she murmured, stifling a yawn. “Can I tell you something?”

My heart skipped a beat as I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “Anything.”

She smiled. “I love you, Renu,” she said simply. Her eyelids fluttered close, leaving me frozen on the edge of her bed. It wasn’t long before I could hear her gentle snores over the sound of my thundering heart. If only she felt the same way when she was awake.

I turned the lights off and made my way to the door, locking it from the inside. We would have things to talk about tomorrow.

[valiant-if]

How would the ro’s react to a usually bold mc 

Getting flustered around them relationship stage

Hi, anon!

Anton's not necessarily shy or bold himself—probably somewhere in the middle—so a usually bold MC can fluster him from time to time. If the MC is suddenly flustered, it's a bit of a reprieve for him, but he also takes that as a signal to take more charge in an encounter.

Switch might be a little disappointed, but she would never admit to it. I would consider her more reserved rather than shy, but a bold MC takes a lot of pressure off of her in a relationship since they are the one usually making the first move. If an MC is suddenly acting flustered around her, Switch does her best to take charge, but it's likely very awkward in a painfully obvious way that she's stepping outside of her comfort zone.

Zero would tease MC good-naturedly but only if the teasing doesn't make MC uncomfortable. She wouldn't let them suffer under the teasing for too long, though. Zero is pretty open and bold with her affections and has no problems taking the lead.

Path would tease MC, but he's not as conscientious as Zero and might not let up on the teasing even if MC is uncomfortable about it. He would turn the rare occasion into a game of cat and mouse between them, playing up the anticipation of any romantic encounter.

Depending on how the flustered MC presents themself, Kiran may or may not notice. If he does notice, though, 9 out of 10 experts say Kiran is likely to attribute the change in behavior to the MC not feeling well or to something being off about their environment. Kiran shifts to problem solving mode and tries to find the root issue.

Yulia interprets it as a game and is eager to play, upping her own boldness to make up for MC's sudden lack of it.

Hex is a little glad and he's not quiet about it, saying how nice it is that he can still manage to fluster MC sometimes. It mostly doesn't change much about his behavior though.

A2 might interpret that scenario as the MC pulling back, which would make her worry that she did something wrong or said the wrong thing. She keeps those worries under wraps, but she subtly makes extra effort to be affectionate when the two of them are in private.

Thanks for the ask!

A few sentences from my side WIP.

Even in the soft candlelight, he could see the palace was indeed the glowing heartbeat of their kingdom, blessed by Ruuve himself.

It was built along the coast, paths made out of smooth cypress planks imported from Atharis stretching the distance between land and sea. The palace, unlike the halls of Elkmire, was bright and welcoming, rooms separated by sheets of silk and organza rather than walls, a thatched roof providing the only protection from the elements. Valtans did not appear to be bothered by nature, but rather embraced it. Members of the royal court strolled along the deck, leaving little to the imagination while wearing sheer gowns with no slip underneath. Most of the men shirtless, in only thin linen pants. Kiran allowed himself only a fleeting glance before following the prince into the sea of silk. They passed through several rooms, Eri making sudden twists and turns one after another until they arrived at a set of sea green silk panels. Tiny fan-shaped shells were sewn to the edge of each curtain.
