A photograph of a pencil sketch of the character "App." She is smiling with a little heart-shaped ahoge in her hair. The sketch depicts her from the bust up. A notice at the top says it is from October 3rd, 2022. Taken at 12:30 AM in New York, NY.

My phone just reminded me that I apparently drew App fan(?)art 3 years ago.
I have no memory of this.
But it does ruin the narrative that I didn't draw for 10 years. 💀

(PS: if u want to see more "drawing," play my new game To Prophecies & Valentines out now!

..Actually don't. It's not finished)

A screenshot of a YouTube video called "MY STUDENT SPIRIT | DATED TEASER | Season 2" The video thumbnail is a mostly orange row of seats with a brown haired wide-eyed young man sitting in one. A ghostly version of himself seems to loom behind him. It is 24 seconds long.

The best news I've gotten all week 😭

Haha technically I am still on this journey (maybe somewhere around Drylands of Depression? easy misturn to take around Insecurity Mountain 😂 ) but I believe I will get there someday! 😋 I'm actually really excited to return to prose writing soon~!

A vintage postcard of an off-white color depicting a black cat walking on two legs with a red umbrella and a flowery red suitcase in its paws. The text reads "I don't know where I'm going but I'm gay" The cat has a sort of blank expression on its face as it walks towards an unknown destination to the right which is part of its charm. There is a bit of musical score on the top left and on the top right is a sign that says "From" with a hand pointing off to the right.

I'ma be so for real idk how you're supposed to use this site but maybe,, someday,, I'll learn

Website is now live!!!

It has the info from the doc + some more stuff + an FAQ section

We ARE making a difference

anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co

🙄 On top of everything now have to worry that my games are "unfit" to be hosted by a website and nuked from the internet because someone in Australia clutched their pearls. Something something capitalism censoring "adult" content but somehow just hurts sex workers, queer people, and survivors. 😒

Today I saw Perchance to Dream passed 100 downloads!!! I couldn't be prouder of this project and more thankful to everyone who has given it a chance. 💓 I know I still have many things left to do and many things left to learn- the journey is far from over! 💪 #indiegame #gamedev #visualnovel

The character "Patient D" against the Pride flag.

HAPPY 🌈PRIDE!!✨

I decided to celebrate by making fun icons for the characters from my game: Perchance to Dream!

This is Patient D! He doesn't really like labels, but pansexual would fit him best. He had a great support system and always felt secure in his identity.

Sorry I've just been on Cloud 9 all day. I already have to "mask" so much at work. So much of my art is informed by my politics, so why hide them? I've never been ashamed to be a Socialist. Just often very sad and tired. But NOT TODAY!! ✨✨✨ SOCIALIST NYC!! We're gonna be the beacon on the hill!!!! ☀️

A yellow T-shirt that reads "NYC deserves a HOT mayor" "Vote for Zohran" "#Z4T" and a sparkly rainbow button which reads "Hot gays for Zohran"

An "I Voted!" Sticker from the NYC Board of Elections

For the first time in years I feel hopeful about electoral politics. For the first time in my life I got to vote for someone who aligns with my ideology. So proud of the city I've chosen to call home & my fellow devotees who pulled off a miracle! This win was ours!! 🔥💓💪 Brighter future ahead!!!

This is Patient C! He's trans, and being able to write his storyline which touches on very specific transmasculine issues meant a lot.

This is Patient B! He's just a chill gay dude. 😎🌊
Always having a strong sense of who he is he "came out" relatively young, to his best friend.

This is Patient A! He comes from a cult-like organization but is gay. I wanted to use his storyline to discuss issues of queer identity and religion.

This is the protagonist, Z! He starts out identifying as bi but there are routes where he becomes more comfortable identifying as pan so I included both. 😊

They say SIX is the sign of the beast. Guilty as charged. 😎✨

Officially 6 DAYS until the release of #visualnovel "Perchance to Dream." Almost forgot to post today cause I was so 💆‍♂️ locked in 💆‍♂️. Actually I was editing D's scenes earlier and he's such a goofball. 💫 Art by Artie (ironduuude)!
