VatDS Update Originally, the festival was going to be a single chapter, and yet I ended up writing enough words that it's become four somehow. There's just too many important little moments… OTL 78 — The Worst Wheel in History Story Page

VatDS Update! You know, this chapter is supposed to be about the longest day in the year, which is also in the middle of summer. I wasn't expecting to release it on a weekend where it feels like summer in the middle of winter… 77 — Round One Story Page

And here is the bonus chapter for March. Happy reading! The Seven to Six

VatDS update! It's actually really convenient for me that this week's chapter is a bit more lowkey. I've had a pretty stressful past couple of weeks, so revising and editing this one was kind of what I needed to destress. Everyone needs a holiday. 76 — The Devil's Days Story Page

It's such a good picture. Love Cera's artwork

VatDS update! While technically the number of chapters in the future I am varies, I do have most of the story "prewritten." I had to make one exception though just because it was such an adorable picture and concept... I mean, who doesn't want one? 74 — And He Had as Radiant a Smile Story Page

VatDS Update! Even though whatever language they're speaking is probably some extreme derivative of a fantasy language, I still imagine his "that's no good at all!" to be in perfect modern English exactly as written. Possibly with a funny accent. 73 — Care to Dance Story Page

This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!

Also please check out this piece of art by the wonderful cera, as commissioned by @sister-carmilla.bsky.social once more. Lycoris using her gramps as a jungle gym is so good. Really shows how tiny she is… also if you want to see these piece of art and get updates right away, join the discord!

VatDS Update! If you don't understand what Raine was talking about, don't worry about it because neither do I (for clarification, this is a joke (I spent way too much time over the course of my life thinking about esoteric world building things)). 72 — The Cornerstone of Civilization Story Page

#Anime #FateStrangeFake 2 I have been waiting to find out who this green haired twink is for yearssss. Soon I will know who you are! It's funny I'm picking up this series not knowing a thing about the Fate series because I'm a sucker for pretty faces moving and I cannot look away from this.

VatDS Update! Wherein, I throw a little shade at people as a fellow leftie. As a treat; one ponders how forty thousand years really wouldn't be much, they'd have to add another few zeroes onto that "40k." And finally… I should put ice cream on my shopping list. 71 — Perenniel Friendship Story Page

VatDS Update! Frankly, I think its more impressive that Lycoris managed to sleep given how excited she must have been for what today brings. I guess in that sense, maybe the nightmares helped... hm... 70 — Sword Story Page

Also available, the January bonus chapter! for 5 and 10 dollar subscribers, you can read the first of several monthly bonus stories right here~

VatDS update! It's always interesting to think back to my original drafts. The Oxalis sisters weren't a permanent fixture. Not that they weren't going to exist at all, they were just going to be in the background instead of having this much screen time 69 — Assemblage Story Page

pointing at the screen

#ももにな 🍑🦔の体型差、めっちゃ好きなんだけど、ちょっと描きすぎちゃったかも

VatDS Update! The downside to writing thesis-like text is having to edit it again later and not have your eyes glaze over. It's some real sowing/reaping dynamics. 68 — It Pours Story Page

VatDS Update! You can't just spoil them forever after all! There comes a time when you gotta put your foot down and say enough is enough. Also bird saliva is not only a thing, but apocryphally has medicinal properties. Not that Lycoris needs dragon or myrh spit to heal. 67 — Good Enough Story Page

this is kinda what gender dysphoria is like

VatDS update! Let's be honest, this is like the least surprising development the story has had thus far. To the point that at first I was worried people would go "what, that's it?" 66 — An Unstable Element Story Page

VatDS Update! He means well, honestly! The real question is, does he even stand a chance? Also featuring my worst personal nightmare: those somehow permanently-dated feeling touchpad terminals that are always seemingly out of order. 65 — A Stable Environment Story Page

Need more people to know about this so i'm just gonna do unpaid advertisement now. Please read Vampire and the Dayspring Star! www.royalroad.com/fiction/9292...

VatDS Update! Someone in the discord asked if the family names had a specific etymology in mind or if they were simply sound-based. In response, all I can say is... 64 — The Hydra's Venom Story Page

VatDS Update! No major news updates today, but we get to meet a few exciting new characters! Although... you know what they say about first impressions, ...And you know Lycoris is wondering why *she* gets to wear pants. 63 — Pecking Order Story Page

VatDS Update! You know, rampant slaughter is probably looked down on in the first place, but of course *this* is what mother warned child about. I guess it's true what they say about getting older means caring less... 62 — A Force More Dreadful than Exaltare Story Page

Also We had our first ever Q&A, and I personally think it went great! There were a bunch of questions I was half-expecting, but also quite a few that caught me totally off-guard. The whole thing has been slightly touched up and posted to Patreon here if you don't want to join the server to read it!

VatDS update! Everyone talks about how they wish they could teleport to see friends, that it removes the hassle of air travel etc, but if you really think about it... You're not really removing the hassle, just changing it 61 — Hello to my lycoris-colored campus life Story Page

Also! The Q&A has a date: On November 8th (Saturday) at 3PM UTC. (which is 10am EST for those who are more familiar with American time zones) Be sure to join the Discord server if you want to read, and sub to my patreon if you want to ask questions.

Yuri between a rogue who is in prison for stealing jewels, and an awkward mole girl who accidently tunneled her way through rogue's cell floor while lost. Mole girl gets roped into helping rogue in her new spree of crime.

VatDS Update! **Please read the pre-chapter note** Everyone has their own threshold and tolerance for this sort of thing, so I hesitate to call it "mild" or "severe", but it's at least brief and you can kind of get the picture regardless. 60 — On Any Other Day, a Relished Opportunity Story Page

We'll draw them in. Made on stream for the Night of Treats as a Subscriber Suggestion winner, Shadow Kurt from Fire Emblem Shadows! #pixelart #ドット絵 #fanart

[Review] What is it with kitsune and girls named Hinako?

Aaaaaahhhh my precious baby, and her scary mom... Absolutely gorgeous fanart, thank you so much!

🦇 fanart of @matoi.bsky.social's story

Thank you so much (both of you!) this piece is fantastic. I'm not sure if Sister Camilla shared my gushing over it but I adore the composition of it all along with the sort of cozyish scene.

Some things never change, do they Lycoris? Poor dear was made to walk on two legs and nothing else.

Comm for @sister-carmilla.bsky.social, ft. @matoi.bsky.social's Elham, *****, Mizar and Tatyana from Vampire and the Dayspring Star. Unfortunately, ***** is suffering from a bad case of teleportation sickness.

VatDS update! Sorry to all LilyThena enjoyers for this one. But we got some history dating back uh, multiple millenia here. Which is longer than our darling maid has been alive for! Also somewhere, Lycoris is feeling an incredible bout of jealousy... Interlude — Shattered Teeth Story Page

Hati but her face looks more like a wolf🐺💙 #fireemblem #fireemblemshadows

Yesterday I had a dream where I was playing FE Shadows and everything was the same except that Carina looked like this: #FireEmblem

VatDS... Announcement...? As promised, I've posted a poll for patreon subscribers of $5 or higher to respond with what times work best for them for my Q&A. If you want to ask questions, make sure to subscribe at that tier, connect your patreon to your discord, and join my server!

Teleporting bird 🪶 I'm not a good Zasha player, but I love his design so I'm trying to improve. #FireEmblem

Face Yourself⚔️ #FEshadows

VatDS update! make sure to read the pre-chapter bit as there's relevant information on the Discord, how I'll be handling the Q&A and setting it up... whenever that happens. I've also put a link to the discord in the story synopsis, for those who aren't caught up yet. 59 — Fury and Fear Story Page
