I was watching Pluribus with my mom and she got really grossed out by the swab & petri dish scene and I said it wasn't that bad and she retorted: "Of course you don't think it's that bad: You watched that one anime about the spit." IT'S BEEN OVER 10 YEARS AND I'M STILL CATCHING STRAYS.

Realizing it is probably worth it to invest in a projector when I get the funds. The paper I use isn't so thick a lightbox doesn't work, but the details get fuzzy and I hate the guesswork.

Once when I was running DnD I had a shark in a casino that these mobsters fed debtors to. After my players defeated the mobsters they talked to the shark and I gave her a baby Cockney accent; cue them spending 20 minutes trying to figure out how to take her with them.

I never understand when people go: "Oh, romance is so boring, you know they're going to end up together and happy. It's so limiting, you can only have so many emotions at play" I'm like-What? You know two people don't gotta be happy, good people, in a good situation etc. to stay together, right?

What did they do to my girl Madoka? She's so ugly now. What is that dress?

I finally watched Fionna and Cake season twooooo, and I thought it suckeddddd.

I will never understand creatives who are fueled by bitterness. They're always motivated to make "thing but good" & it's an attitude I've seen from countless people over the years. If you engage with thing & take time to study it, maybe you'll learn why others love it so.

The random dreams I have where I meet someone I admire and want to ask questions, but we're doing something mundane like cooking and I feel too awkward, so I just keep the subject off business. This happened today and all I could ask her was: "So, did your grandma give you this cornbread recipe?"

Tusks is one of the few movies that I've been told to shut up about when I've brought it up in the past. I really like it, but I know why people don't wanna hear me talk about it. Anyway...my husband hasn't seen it so I gotta fix that.

I finally made gumbo. It was good and I'm so pleased. I ended up burning myself while stirring the roux, but it was worth it.

*Watching the new Spider-man trailer with my husband* Me: "I mean this in the least sexual way possible, but Spider-Man writers really like cuckolding him, huh?" Husband: "Yes... 😭"

For some reason my cold has fried my brain in such a way that I am very chatty if given the opportunity. Usually I am cranky and languid when catching the sick.

Forgot to post the Eileen I did for one of Ren'Py's postcards. Remember being super excited painting it.

Got sick again.

When I started learning CDDs for Alia and the 6 Paths I knew I'd get bored if I tried to practice with something not for the game, so I just learned how to do the side-scroller stuff I wanted. Forgive Alia's nakeyness: it's a placeholder sprite.

Me going onto a Tumblr page and crying when I see: Indy Theme by Safe as Milk. I don't like endless scrollingggg! Give me page numbers!

I ALMOST FORGOT My #MVNA entry is out! A Renpy Dating Sim Framework. lemonademochi.itch.io/dating-sim-f... Features~ ❤️Affection System ❤️Stat Raising ❤️Calendar System ❤️Event System ❤️Ability to make dates and break 'em 💔

My #MVNA project is released! It comes with many art assets by wonderful artists to make immersive particle effects right away. I spent far too much time adding all sorts of movement options and customization to it, so it would mean a lot if you checked it out! feniksdev.itch.io/immersive-pa...

I wanna make gumboooooo.

My grandfather calling me to wish me a happy birthday: "So, have you started walking funny yet?"

It's my day of birth.

MVNA jam submission 2/2 This is now Version 3 of this idea. This one is especially for the sprites where all the different parts of the face are separated. V3 integrates into the Interactive Director which means no loading times. Instant script edits. Speeeeeed. cuteshadow.itch.io/layeredimage...

Making proper documentation and helper functions for the Dating Sim Framework reminding me I can indeed be nicer to myself on projects.

Doing a dating sim frame work for #MVNA and I was not expecting the "Make dates with a chosen LI" part to be the hardest. The logic isn't hard, just how to present it cleanly in screens is. I want people to be able to cancel dates by bumping previous engagements off and whatnot.

Super bummed I couldn't get my Sealed with a Kiss jam submission done. Hoping I can work myself up to finishing it in the next month or two because I really did like the story.

Always finding a way to use "smorgasbord" in my writings because I watched too much Charlotte's Web as a child.

Feeling like a teenager searching up stuff like "Shirtless man" and "Six-pack" because I need the reference for a character sprite and my husband's all: "Why not just look up pictures of Henry Cavill shirtless?" WELL I MEAN IF I HAVE PERMISSION I GUESS 😭

I remember being super excited when the Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku Restart trailer dropped, and then having to come to terms with the fact that Pechka has an ugly-ass bird tail.

I wanted to name the dog in my SWAK jam entry "Hambone", but my husband forbade it, so his name is "Biscuits" now.

Surprise! My gothic horror vampire otome Duskbound was released on Steam today 🥳

Beautiful Brides Titania, Mist, and Mia. Oscar is here too.

#OtomeAssortment jam has wrapped with over 50 entries! What #otome game will you be playing next? A big shoutout to all the #otomedev who participated!! 🎊

Finally learned how to use lambda. On my way to cool nerd one-liner code that no one else can read.

Happy New Year! I started off this wonderful year with a cold.

I watched Del Toro's Frankenstein last night, thought it was very alright. But I dreamed of a dating sim where you're a girl and make Frankenstein, and have to work hard to make it so he doesn't kill you or himself by earning certain points.

Planning for Sealed with a Kiss jam and I'm like- "Lemonade, are you going to put another shame boner into your romance story?"

My husband made the mistake of asking me about Big Hero 6. (I do not like Big Hero 6)

When I was a little kid I used to think our car was psychic because I didn't understand turn signals and thought it pointed the way home.

Me forcing my friends to listen to me scream about how Apollo is trying to use his "Cousin in" like Jonah Hill's character in Wolf of Wall Street, and that I should be able to bang Odysseus. Or Prometheus, or Heracles. I dunno man, I don't wanna romance 3/4ths of the available smoochies.

My little brother decided to show me his thanks on Thanksgiving by reading off recent SpongeBob episode synopses.

Chronos has flippers for feet.

I dream a lot and force all my friends to hear about them: whether they want to or not. They're all collected into one place, and one day I'd actually like to post some of the more horrifying/funny ones. However for now I will post excerpts that I find amusing.

Playing Hades II and every time I fight Prometheus I'm just like- "Bro, you can't zip-a-dee-doo-dah up to me like that. I am but a girl and your masculinity frightens me. Grandpa would never fistfight me like this, he's a gentleman. This is not self-defense: you and your bird are whaling on me."

I was eating some broccoli out of a tiny bowl and my husband saw me and called me a hamster! 😭
