Oh yeah, there's nothing wrong with itch and no one's panicking at all, let me just have a look at my page view and download analytics. #looking-at-those-numbers #those-are-rookie-numbers #everyone-go-download-my-smut-and-smut-adjacent-projects

A fucking tiny group of christofascists has fucking destroyed half of the fucking adult industry within the span of a couple fucking weeks and there has been no fucking pushback whatsofuckingever.

OK, I think I've found a new type of gay panic: less horny accidentally staring at someone's boobs when you first meet them Character A is facing away from B, B turns them around. A assumes they're the same height and looks straight and their eye level is the clavicle and neck of the othe[...]

I am...how you say..."the big mad" cause I finished a draft of the redux of my first chapter and it's exactly 2500 words on the dot. I just know when I do an editing pass it won't be worth the effort to keep it there. #Writing #why-can't-it-be-magical-all-the-time

Guess who had to learn that overcoming trauma is always a temporary thing again? Like a fool I was to think I was free of the demons of my past by simply outrunning them once. #I-joke-but #I-am-currently-incapable-of-receiving-a-hug-or-sitting-next-to-my-wife #without-crying-or-trying-to-[...]

Started again on my romance story after discarding pretty much everything is written the last few months. And the first bit of feedback I get is: "This door sounds interesting, I wanna hear more about that." #Writing #futility-of-the-author

Anonymous asked: reading some of your zines off itch.io I keep meaning to get back and write more zines. But rearing my own progeny takes up a lot of time. And I've also been trying to do some TTRPG design and writing a romance story. And transfriendly and gamedev lessons take a good amou[...]

Gotta love my very normal and reasonable responses to stuff. I finally got someone i know to read what I've been writing the last few months. And now I'm going to remove it from the internet cause I dont consider it good enough to exist. #Sensible-and-reasonable-reactions #also-very-real #[...]

I've done it. I've put my first "can't think straight" in the mouth of a character unaware of how much gay panic they're exhibiting. #Mission-accomplished #toxic-yuri-purveyor #the-classics-are-classic-for-a-reason

There's a period after finishing something where if its too close to me doing that, I don't want anyone i personally know to experience it. But once enough time has passed, I'm fine for anyone to see it. Cause now its not something I made, its some thing past-me did. And we're entierly dif[...]

Gotta decide if Wattpad has any use for me. I've been cross posting the same story on both Wattpad and Scribblehub, but only doing self promo posts that link to the Wattpad version. Yet somehow the Scribblehub copy has way more engagement and views than Wattpad. Maybe the genre I'm writing[...]

I don't get why it's such a big deal that trans people want to play in cis people sports. We let cis people participate in speedrunning tournaments.

I can now join the ranks of my fellow toxic yuri purveyors. I just wrote a scene where a lady who's sexually frustrated makes out with someone having a mental breakdown and helps them associate being safe and cared for with sexual gratification. Do i know this is a bad thing for these c[...]

There's some board games that aren't really board games and are just ice breakers in a hat. Well I've come u0 with one that's sure to be more than 50% arguments. I call it: Supercatagory Its simple, the old phrase "All A's are B, but not all B's are A." It's just a bunch of prompts for two[...]

One thing I think I'm good at when it comes to writing, it accurately describing what its like to fear for your safety when you think about an abuser and they're not actually present. Just the shadow of your trauma cast on the wall is a little too thrilling and all your blood tries to mak[...]

After consulting the Oratrice Mechanique d'Analyse Cardinale (aka my story notes) I'm up to writing the first kiss in my slow burn story. But first I need to write a character having a panic attack followed by a bit of a mental break. #the-kiss-is-a-bit-of-a-reward-for-them-getting-this-fa[...]

Love going back to creative notes I wrote months/years ago only to find a different opinion in how the characters would refer to one another. So now I need to translate functionally someone else's notes (past me) into present me's way of thinking about the story. Can't catch me actually r[...]

This might be the longest I've stuck with a writing project. I don't know if knowing no one is reading it is helping me keep going, or I'm just mature enough now to like my own work. Either way, I've just published chapter 7. https://www.wattpad.com/story/395478580-her-love-makes-safe-ha[...]

New writing tip: poorly describe your characters guestures so the reader can perfectly fill them in "I don't want to say 'this is a white neighborhood that'd call the cops on you' buuuuuuuut..." Debug gestured at the houses along the street and made a face that tried to finish her sentenc[...]

More writing of mine i really enjoy out of context. making the noise of a microwave warming something up while she thought. #Writing #its-like-a-1st-person-narration-but-from-a-3rd-person-perspective #so-the-descriptions-are-in-the-style-of-the-POV-character #and-this-one-harkens-stuff-to[...]

Sometimes I don't know if I'm a good writer, and then I re-read some throwaway line and just lose it. She hadn't been thinking much about the person she was caring for, but without a shirt or pants they certainly seemed like a lady who had lost a fight with a homophobic flight of stairs. [...]

Guild Wars 2 has the correct amount of effort put into their skyboxes so you can take cool ass screenshots #Gw2 #guild-wars-2 #this-is-also-half-the-reason-for-new-emotes

U-G-L-Y That is how I'm gonna cry Its ugly eh eh Cry ugly!

Having spent some time playing Get In The Car, Loser i think it has the same problem that Xenoblade has: inscrutable depth at its shallowest point. The combat system seems fine, until you try and use it on purpose and then stuff stops being clear. You've got functionally an Active Time B[...]

Sometimes I think I'm normal, and then on a bad day my wife comes over and asks if I want a hug (a thing I am known for loving and always wanting more of) and my brain can only kick me into the fight mode of fight or flight. #She-can-tell-something's-wrong-cause-i-subtly-turn-side-on-and-d[...]

I've had a quick look at a few other titles on Wattpad and some of them are like a few hundred words a chapter. Like If I started a new chapter every time I did a perspective shift I would have written like 3 chapters today and still written longer chapters than these chucklefucks. Not to [...]

Quickly, before Arenanet can prove me wrong. Guesses on which profession gets which new elite spec based solely on vibes and the fact 2 of them are Paragon and Rituralist. #Gw2 #guild-wars-2 #new-expac-teasers #got-some-ideas-of-what-each-one-might-actually-get-as-a-mechanic-too #but-that[...]

Chapter 5. Chapter 5. Give it up for Chapter 5. https://www.wattpad.com/story/395478580 We're approaching the hints of romance as two characters share a hug while a third has what I can only describe as a "hypervigilance attack". #One-day-my-blorbos-will-kiss #in-the-not-too-distant-future[...]

Had a wild dream where I was in a yugioh like situation, except instead of a puzzle Pharaoh I had soul bonded with a pregnant orc lady who gave me the momentary strength of a mom and the hormones of a pregnant lady as the super powers. #Still-managed-to-pull-ladies-in-the-dream-realm #my-b[...]

Writing some fantasy world building and getting to changeling and how they're maligned due to their cuckoo style of child rearing and how "anyone could be a changeling in disguise" is actually very much the modern radfem opposition line to trans folk existing. #When-the-themes-sneak-up-on-[...]

I've seen some people point at 1st and 3rd person shooters (especially online ones) and say "this is a violent and immoral depiction of violent fantasy and we shouldn't encourage it". And while I agree it is often violent and sometimes needlessly so, it isn't a fantasy. And not in the sens[...]

Had a chat with my wife about a dilemma she's facing: she met her heroes in music and they're cool people who like to spend time with her. But due to "crushing depression" she doesn't think she's worthy of being on equal footing with these lauded professionals in her industry. She asked me[...]

Thanks Wattpad. I deserve that award. #This-is-more-an-inditement-in-how-under-represented-poly-romances-are-on-wattpad #that-me-reading-my-own-story-can-get-in-the-sub-thousands-ranking #we-as-a-community-need-to-do-better #we-need-to-write-more-poly-relationships

I find it very silly that I, a milf looking trans woman, am wearing underware that says "alpha male" over and over around the waistband. #Trans #milf-life

Writing trick: characters can ask one another to let them know if something they do makes them uncomfortable, and even agree to do so, and still not say anything. Cause that'd what I'd do. I held hands with someone with a broken arm hour like 30 minutes and didn't tell them it was excrucia[...]

Wanna see the coolest thing i found in the steam summer sales? https://store.steampowered.com/app/3474840/Good_Lord_Everyone_at_the_Reunion_For_My_Religious_AllGirls_School_Is_a_Trans_Man_And_Theyre_Hot/ A dating sim VN where almost everyone is a transman. And its not even on sale...cause its free.

Back into the crushing 3rd job of being my own hype squad: I finished the 4th chapter of my lebsian romance story today (including proof reading and editing) and according to Wattpad's tools its almost an hour of reading. No kissing yet, but someone almost passes out this chapter. Slow bur[...]

@gabboman.at.app.wafrn.net found a display bug where text wrapping seems to use a different resolution to UI scaling in the mobile browser version of the site. I use a Samsung galaxy fold z (the one that can become twice as wide) and text on wafrn seems to wrap based on the smaller width r[...]

Me while writing a character suffering from the repercussions of physical trauma: Wow, writing about my own experiences through the lens of a fictional character is so easy, the words are just flowing onto the page...also why do I need to keep taking breaks and getting emotionally overwhel[...]

I know I'm not the intended audience for games when instead of trying to work out a puzzle based on clues the game has given me, I'll try to guess the intention of the developer and sus out what they are aiming for and how they've approached similar things before to work out a puzzle. This[...]

Ive had the opinion that one of the better nonsense super powers would be the ability to redo a 2 minute stretch of time over and over until you get a result you want. You dont age in the loops, but you can develop muscle and train reflexes and remember the last 50 or so. So if you have th[...]

Edgy Rougelike intro:"A dark wind blows*" *in 90's slang vernacular when an object or event blew it was of poor or undesirable quality or exacted some societal toll on the commenter #Can't-stop-reading-it-with-the-voice-of-a-miffed-teenager

There's really something to be said for mini-game based combat in RPGs. Deltarune is the current example that sticks in my mind cause it's the one I'm playing. But the shallow minigame of Octopath Traveler's break system and Sea of Stars with their energy gathering, Etrian Odyssey with it'[...]

So now that I'm several chapters into writing a lesbian romance surely there's been some sparks between the characters? Well...one of them took the other to hospital and then did insurance fraud to keep them safe. SPICY!!!! #writing-is-hard #slow-burn-romance-also-means-a-lot-of-giving-the[...]

Need a undercover name for one of the characters in my lesbian romance novel. Currently two of the characters have names they go by that cant be traced to them since its not related to their legal name. But the third is lacking and I'm bad at naming characters (takes me ages to settle) so [...]

Combatitive card game idea: "fish fear me" One player is the fisher, all other players are fish. Remove all face cards from the deck, they aren't used in this game. The fisher sets three cards in front of them that represents three different rods they have set up attached to their boat or [...]

I've listened to people talk about their writing process like watching a dysfunctional colony of ants leading their own story or having the characters speak out in their mind to write their own bit of prose. Today I finally had something like that: A plot I'd already blocked out got to a p[...]
