Adam's Birthday!! [12.29] ft. Hermit (the creator)!

I forgot to post this uh-

have this doodle too- give stabby man a kiss...

[onelastskip]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEJA!!! my most beautiful shining princess i love her

[lavender-teardroplettes]

Saw this post getting a lot of note, so I decided to update and color it with YaH Si's redesign! Look at them, absolutely smitten for each other. ^u^

I had the idea that this was a look into Si going to one of CAKE's concerts for the first time. Adam's being a good (obsessed) boyfriend and reassuring Si not to worry about the crowds or being recognized.~ 💕

[clownboymcchucklefuck]

That one anon got me simping hard for Saffron now holy shit-

[kim-jongin-s]

svt fic recs (mostly nc-17; minwon, jeongcheol, wonchan + other)

MINWON

"🥀 service 🥀". au: waiter!mg. oneshot, 4k. nc-17.

Working the VIP room at a restaurant, Mingyu accidentally makes a mess of the rich patron's expensive suit, however Wonwoo saved Mingyu from getting fired and offers him even more.

"back 2 u (am 01:27)". au: football player!mg. oneshot, 6k. nc-17.

Mingyu breaks up with Wonwoo. They don't stop seeing each other.

"regal love". royalty!au: commander!ww, emperor!mg, omegaverse: beta!ww, alpha!mg. oneshot, 8k. pg-13.

"Sica wouldn't be under our rule if it wasn't for you. And that's why I would like to appoint you as the Minister of the province."

Dark eyes stared up at the emperor, lips pulled into a polite smile that never reached his eyes. Raven eyes that saw too much and lips that spoke too little. "I'm afraid I would have to turn down the offer your highness. Sica doesn't have you."

"in your orbit". band!au. oneshot, 8.6k. nc-17.

Wonwoo nearly kisses Mingyu on stage and even though Mingyu's dreamt about the moment for so long, it was never like this. He does the only logical thing—run away.

"bloodstained". fantasy!au: vampire!ww, werewolf!mg. 5 chapters, 49k. nc-17.

When he meets Wonwoo for the first time, Mingyu is about to die.

"what is it to burn". omegaverse: omega!ww, alpha!mg. 15 chapters, 103k. nc-17.

Mingyu isn't the only one with a secret. Wonwoo is the sole omega in the group of thirteen—a truth he's always kept concealed from the public.

When a dire situation arises, the boundaries between friendship and something more begin to blur.

JEONGCHEOL

"like a tsunami". college!au, oneshot, 1k. nc-17.

What's wetter? The shower or..?

"hate that you know me so well". oneshot, 5k. r.

Seungcheol wants Jeonghan. The group knows it. The fans know it. And it'd be great for everyone if Seungcheol could just god damn admit it.

"the dance of sea monsters and mermaids". office!au. oneshot, 12.5k. nc-17.

Competitors have been asking how Coupsmetics gets ahead of branding and market, when the only differences of their brands are subtle alterations of formula.

“A magician never spills his secrets.” Seungcheol would only offer a polite smile before he looks over to Secretary Yoon.

"tornado warnings". oneshot, 20k. pg-13. ♡

This was Jeonghan’s idea, and Seungcheol has the texts to prove it. Jeonghan is almost always the one calling for these things: let’s go eat, Cheolie-yah. Let’s take a walk, Seungcheol-ah. The lake is pretty, isn’t it? Let’s sit for a while, Seungcheolie. Seungcheolie—it’s cold. Give me your sweater.

And Seungcheol caves, and caves, and only offers the amount of resistance it takes to make Jeonghan smile again.

WONCHAN

"(i) put a spell on you". omegaverse: alpha!ww, omega!dn. oneshot, 7k. nc-17.

Wonchan are extremely, nastily obsessed with each other, and get nastier after a drought: the fic.

"love's awakened root". omegaverse: alpha!ww, omega!dn. oneshot, 9k. nc-17.

"I'm spending your rut with you," Chan says to Wonwoo. "Right?"

OTHER

"feelin' so hot (i got the fire)". soongyu. oneshot, 3k. nc-17.

Soonyoung hasn’t been touched in months. When he finally has a day off (and plans out a little self-care), he’s interrupted by a desperate call from Mingyu asking for help with the latest choreography. It won’t take long, right?

"everlasting arms". verkwan. omegaverse: omega!sk, alpha!vn. oneshot, 4k. nc-17.

Hansol's hoodies are missing. All of them.

"pretty please". seoksoon. omegaverse: omega!hs, omega!dk, rule 63. oneshot, 5k. nc-17.

For everything that leads her to fuck Jihoon's sister, Soonyoung blames heats. Heats, plural, as a concept. Heats for lesbian omegas, more specifically.

"a prayer for spring rain". jeonghan/wonwoo/dk. wolf!au: omega!jh, alpha!ww, beta!dk. oneshot, 7k. nc-17.

Wonwoo is no ordinary alpha. He wants something he will never get. That is until Seokmin and Jeonghan approach him with a proposition.

"all this manufactured desire". seokcheol. magical realism: sex pollen. oneshot, 10k. nc-17.

Seokmin braces himself, and he feels Seungcheol do the same, even without looking. Even while they both pointedly don’t look at each other.

“It’s some sort of lust spell, inducing feelings or urges so strong until it becomes unbearable,” Seungkwan says in a remarkably steady tone of voice, all things considered. "The, uh, only solution is to…fuck it out.”

"warm blood (underneath your skin)". jigyu. au: camboy!mg. oneshot, 11k. nc-17.

Jihoon’s skin prickles as he watches because all he can do is watch. Electricity lights up his muscles in a way that screams “reach out and take”, and it’s the inability that’s burning him up. He doesn’t normally feel this way watching Mingyu.

"if we don't do it, i can imagine it". seokwoo. roomate!au, gamer!ww, camboy!dk. oneshot, 26k. nc-17. ♡♡

Everything’s fine. Wonwoo might be in the process of developing a porn addiction and he’s certainly going to die alone and pining, but everything’s fine.

"in danger of a true romance". gyushua. au. 5 chapters, 33k. nc-17. ♡♡♡

When his best friend gets engaged after Joshua goes through a string of bad breakups and worse first dates, he swears off of dating. Unfortunately, the universe (and Jeonghan) has other plans. The man of honor he's supposed to plan this wedding with may look like Joshua's type on the surface (tall and eager), but he's a romantic -- and Joshua learned the hard way that romance isn't something he gets.

[blank-house]

hey there, blank house! just poppin' in to say that I REALLYYY really love keyframes, Elio is such a cutie patootie and boooy im the mother of the group in my irl circle of friends and that's bleeding into my keyframes mc with deja and cam HWDKSBSJ but may i just ask this? because picture my very pleasant surprise when reynah spoke tagalog! i was like — WAIT WHAT is there a fellow filipino in the team of one of my fave vns? as a writer myself, seeing filipino representation in games (not necessarily needed for a filipino to be in the team of devs) really inspires me to write more because! so yah, that's my question, i'm just reaaaally curious! thank you so much for releasing this lovely game AAA

AYYYY KABABAYANNN 🇵🇭☀️

But yeah haha hi! It’s me, the sole filo amongst the leads— buuuut I’m happy to report I’m not the only filo in the team. Two of our voice actors are Filipino as well!

FILO NATION RISE AHHH

But glad to hear you’re enjoying the game and even more that you’re inspired to write because of us. Happy to report that there’s tons more of us in the indie community too. ^^

[queenlilithprime]

I finally counted out how many VNs I'm working on and helping people with and uh...

It's 12.

12 visual novels 💀

2 that I've been hired to be the coder on (@campwillowpeak and @smoginthecity 's Yours Truly)

2 from my studio (@fluorescent-red-studios) that I do code clean up on (STNAF and YAH)

2 that are group projects with other devs and creators (@areelobsessionvn and one we haven't announced)

2 projects I'm working on with @lavender-teardroplettes

And then 4 of my own... 💀💀💀💀

Man.

I should really take more breaks 💀

[bersuara]

Usaha dalam menghidupkan kehidupan

Aku sedang mengusahakan untuk menghidupkan hidupku agar tidak mati. Salah satu usahaku adalah dengan cara mencari setiap kebahagiaan kecil yang hadir di setiap harinya.

Kemarin, pesanan manik-manikku sudah sampai. Manik-manik ini rencananya akan aku buat menjadi gelang, cincin dan strap phone. Aku beli seadanya, karena aku baru pertama kali belajar untuk membuatnya.

Sembari melihat dan menonton referensi cara membuat gelang dari manik-manik, aku juga sekalian mencoba untuk mempraktikannya.

Hasil dari percobaan pertamaku yang tidak seberapa hahaha.

Lightingnya jelek banget, jadi di foto seadanya saja.

Aku juga mencoba membuat gelang dengan motif bunga seperti di gambar. Ternyata, aku butuh kesabaran karena dalam proses pengerjaannya butuh waktu dan ketelitian. Namanya kali pertama mencoba, jadi aku ngga mau berekspektasi hasilnya akan bagus hahaha.

Lalu, apa yang sudah dibuat akan dikemanakan? Beberapa akan aku pakai sendiri, sisanya akan aku berikan ke sepupuku yang kelas dua SD. Melalui vn WhatsApp, dia sudah bilang kepadaku "Eteh, nanti gelang sama cincinnya buat aku yah. Yah eteh cantik?". Kalau sudah bawa-bawa kata imbuhan 'cantik', rasanya aku tidak mau mengecewakan dia hahahaha.

Bagaimana perasaan setelah mencari kesibukan dengan melakukan kegiatan menyenangkan dan melatih kreativitas? Perasaanku lebih lapang, pun pikiranku ngga terus-terusan berisik. Jadi, mungkin kegiatan ini akan aku lakukan untuk beberapa waktu ke depan.

[pinkprettycure]

are you still interested in one day making spinel heart?

YAH i consider it part of mwdh main universe so i dont rlly think of it as a separate thing esp since i have other stories i wanted to do w the cast as like "ova" eps

like prequels and epilogue stuff, spinel is a prequel tot he main story so i think of it the same as I think of oh i wanna write an ep about alex in middle school too lol just it'll be a separate vn and not a dlc thing

[felikatze]

ROLL CREDITS, 2!! oh hey the music bangs. did the knife ending have credits? i dont think it did.

anyway, throwing out my assumption that clover killed junpei in knife ending (also p sure clover kills people in axe ending, cuz i saw the cg from it once...?) so.

there's a tenth person on this ship hey whadda hell. WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU. GET OVER HERE. LET ME LOOK AT YOUR FACE. BITCH.

whoever stabbed everyone here also did knife ending i'm p sure. so once the gang go thru the last set of doors whoever this is just goes "yup, time to kill."

either that ORRRR one of the two people who died previously (either snake or the ninth man) managed to fake their deaths by using like... a different corpse? would have to be snake since everyone could hear the ninth man explode, and they could only identify snake's body by the clothes...?

i mainly throw this into the ring as a theory cuz that's what ashe did in a route of witch's heart, lmao. forever iconic. "hey ashe is dead and sirius disappeared" ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT. that route was sooo fun.

anyway. time for playthru 3.

i did in fact look at an ending guide, just to have an idea of what gets me where. i made some tiny charts for myself of what i wanna do in what order, because my typical modus operandi for multi choice VNs is exhaust one path before going to the next, so i'd have done 5-7-6, then 5-7-3, then 5-7-2, then 5-8-6, so on and so forth, and once i'd hit repeat endings i would probably be furious. yah.

This run was 5-3-2, for the curious.

First:

5-7-6

Second:

5-3-2

Good on the chart i have for showing me p much only the last door choice matters outside two endings, and that door 3 locks u into door 2 automatically. door 3 is such an iconic choice for junpei tho, go king be manipulative. he is kinda a shit, especially since he rigs the vote for the last doors in the 8/7 path. fuckhead. fantastic.

[posts-without-the-letter-e]

No, bcaus what do you man Arcan has compltly rwrittn th rulbook on qur rprsntation in mdia, and it did it so ffortlssly that it puts so many othr shows to sham. Lik, how ar you going to tll m this animatd sris—ostnsibly a spin-off of a vido gam—has givn us som of th most nuancd, unapologtically powrful sapphic charactrs vr without rducing thm to strotyps, sid plots, or, wors, trauma porn?

Vi and Caitlyn? Thir dynamic is LCTRIC. You’v got Vi, th rough-dgd, fircly loyal, scrappy brawlr with a tndr sid that could wrck anyon motionally, and Caitlyn, th sharp, principld, dply mpathtic nforcr with a hart of gold. Th way thir rlationship is built on mutual rspct and trust whil navigating all th insan, tragic chaos around thm? Litral chf's kiss. And not onc do w gt th tird, lazy "coming out" narrativ or th "but what about th gays?" rhtoric. Thir qurnss isn’t th story—it’s just a bautifully natural part of who thy ar. And THAT is rvolutionary.

And lt’s not vn stop thr. This show handls gndr lik it’s bn waiting for vryon ls to catch up. Charactrs lik Svika, who could giv you chills with hr shr badassry and gndr-nonconforming nrgy, xist unapologtically without th narrativ vr fling th nd to spoon-fd us xplanations. It’s just thr, wovn samlssly into th fabric of th world.

So many shows claim to want to "normaliz" qur rlationships or push th nvlop, but Arcan has quitly dominatd th spac by just writing charactrs who fl authntic. Thir struggls ar about class, powr, loyalty, trauma, not tokn rprsntation or forcd divrsity. This show said, “W’r just going to mak som of th most layrd, complling charactrs you’v vr sn—and oh yah, som of thm ar gay. Kp up.”

Lik, th bar wasn’t just raisd—it was launchd into th stratosphr. What do you man this lvl of rprsntation isn’t th norm yt? Arcan said, “W’r not asking for prmission to xist. W’r just xisting.” And that? That is art.

No, because what do you mean Arcane has completely rewritten the rulebook on queer representation in media, and it did it so effortlessly that it puts so many other shows to shame. Like, how are you going to tell me this animated series—ostensibly a spin-off of a video game—has given us some of the most nuanced, unapologetically powerful sapphic characters ever without reducing them to stereotypes, side plots, or, worse, trauma porn?

Vi and Caitlyn? Their dynamic is ELECTRIC. You’ve got Vi, the rough-edged, fiercely loyal, scrappy brawler with a tender side that could wreck anyone emotionally, and Caitlyn, the sharp, principled, deeply empathetic enforcer with a heart of gold. The way their relationship is built on mutual respect and trust while navigating all the insane, tragic chaos around them? Literal chef's kiss. And not once do we get the tired, lazy "coming out" narrative or the "but what about the gays?" rhetoric. Their queerness isn’t the story—it’s just a beautifully natural part of who they are. And THAT is revolutionary.

And let’s not even stop there. This show handles gender like it’s been waiting for everyone else to catch up. Characters like Sevika, who could give you chills with her sheer badassery and gender-nonconforming energy, exist unapologetically without the narrative ever feeling the need to spoon-feed us explanations. It’s just there, woven seamlessly into the fabric of the world.

So many shows claim to want to "normalize" queer relationships or push the envelope, but Arcane has quietly dominated the space by just writing characters who feel authentic. Their struggles are about class, power, loyalty, trauma, not token representation or forced diversity. This show said, “We’re just going to make some of the most layered, compelling characters you’ve ever seen—and oh yeah, some of them are gay. Keep up.”

Like, the bar wasn’t just raised—it was launched into the stratosphere. What do you mean this level of representation isn’t the norm yet? Arcane said, “We’re not asking for permission to exist. We’re just existing.” And that? That is art.
