I am trying to find this cat and corgi, but the setting is just not there. Is it not on the Android version or am I just missing something? Either way, LibroFM is great!

So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

I prefer to see the consequences, assuming the consequences are meaningful. I don't like when there are just a bunch of generic "You Died" endings. If the deaths are different each time, that's fine though! And I don't mind if there's a "true" ending as long as the other endings are interesting too.

Woman with long black hair reaches up toward a glowing green wisp of light. Her other hand drops a stone onto a precariously balanced stack of rocks. She wears a sparkly aquamarine off-the-shoulders dress that becomes a darker shade at the bottom and a navy blue denim jacket. The background contains lines, the silhouettes of plants, and a distant cityscape.

My new cosplay is Yumi from Brandon Sanderson's Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. Thank you to Jester's Forge Digital Arts for the beautiful edit! @jestersforge.bsky.social

Morgana plush with catlike eyes and a sassy smirk

Jacopo and Morgana plushies

The announcement of an official Morgana plush reminded me of the fanart one I made 3 years ago. She was challenging to make, but came out so cute. 💜

Colette Brunel cosplayer standing with stand outstretched, looking up. Pink wings billow behind her.

Quite possibly my favorite of all the photo edits I've gotten from Jester's Forge Digital Arts in recent years.

Cosplay of Giselle from The House in Fata Morgana in front of a wall of roses. The shadow of the manor's stained glass window of the archangel Michael is cast upon the roses. The game's original logo is at the bottom of the image.

Giselle has always been one of my favorite cosplays. (And one of my favorite game characters in general! Here it is in a stunning edit by Jester's Forge Digital Arts at ConnectiCon a few years back.

I designed the Long Quiet plush by combining 5 different patterns from Sew Desu Ne. The wings are even posable.

Serena and Colette cosplayers standing before Yggdrasil, the world tree. Serena is looking to the left with a devoted expression. Colette is looking to the right with a look of determination. The cosplayers overlap slightly in the middle. Glowing angel feathers appear at the bottom of the image. The Jester's Forge logo is in the bottom right corner.

Anniversary pic of my wife & I cosplaying together as Serena & Colette. We realized that even though they're from different games, both characters are connected to a World Tree. Fantastic edit by Jester's Forge Digital Arts.
