doodle of Vae, Caelle, and Shen in the water. Shen is holding a camera, suggesting she was the one who "photographed" the previous drawing. "Was that one good?" Vae asks. "Yeah, probably," Shen replies, "but you should splash her forty to fifty more times just to be safe." Caelle, soaking wet, laughs hysterically.

I've seen a number of people over the past month misunderstanding what I was trying to say in "Everyone's Friend", so I wrote a little bit more about it on tumblr to clarify:

a drawing in dark cyan or blue on a grey background of a wrecked sailing ship on a beach, viewed from the ocean. Behind it is a dense tropical forest. In the distant sky there is a dragon-like creature chasing a flock of bird-like creatures

MUTUALS WHO HAVE WEBSITES: do you have one of those whimsical little 88x31 buttons that I could put on my website to link to your website? I would like to accumulate a beautiful garish heap of funny little buttons for my links page, so let me know if you'd like to be included. Here's mine btw:

old-timey web button that says 'Aesungaia' in fancy golden lettering. Bluesky is going to absolutely deep-fry this poor little png so if you intended on actually using it maybe go grab the uncompressed version on my links page instead lol

Someone on tumblr almost asked me about the burrito so I took the opportunity to elaborate on the burrito even though that's not what they asked. This is one of my real-life favorite foods, which, for soon-to-be-obvious reasons, I have dubbed "The Burrito That Makes You Have To Go To Bed":

A detailed drawing of 'The Burrito That Makes You Have To Go To Bed', with its attributes listed to the side: 'Chicken. Bacon. French Fries. Guacamole. Sour Cream. That special secret white cheese that only manifests inside your best local Mexican restaurants. The whole thing is deep fried. Hot sauce on the side so you can have some bites with it and some bites without it. It's the size of your goddamn head so you can have leftovers."

My notifications are unusable right now so sorry if I've missed anything. Thank you for reading my extremely sad comic and I hope it stops being relatable sooner than later. I am making a rule for myself: no more sad comics for the rest of the year, if not longer. Doing these is not good for me

It feels like more and more games these days are including some kind of photography minigame/sidequest and I just don't understand what part of it I'm supposed to be enjoying or why it's there.

first drawings of the year

drawing of Vae wearing a yellow graphic tee and blue jeans. The shirt has Aesungaian lettering and some kind of creature on it. Her hair is pulled back into a ponytail.

Drawing of Shen wearing a purple hoodie and a green skirt. She's smiling and looking at her phone. Her hair is pulled up into a bun.

Drawing of Caelle wearing a baggy, white button-up shirt and brown, striped pants.

Drawing of Isaac wearing a button-up shirt with a tropical plant pattern.

sketch of Vae and Caelle sitting together on a rock in a forest. Vae is resting her cheek on Caelle's back, her head turned away from the viewer, while Caelle rests her chin in her hands, smiling, looking back at Vae, and humming to herself.

I'M AN EXPLORER (1/4)

Front cover of a picture book titled 'I'm an Explorer'. The title is written out in big, blocky letters, and is accompanied by a rectangular rainbow of Myrrh in various scenes.

Illustration of Myrrh sitting on a hillside looking out at a towering structure in the mountains as two suns rise over the horizon. The narration reads: 'I'm an explorer. I love to explore new places. But I don't want to learn. I just want to see.'

Illustration of Myrrh playing under a waterfall. The river is flanked on either side by pink grass and mysterious stone carvings. The narration continues: 'I'm an explorer. I love to traverse new spaces. But I don't want to stay. I'm just here to play. And let everything wash over me.'

thought about my video game preferences for too long and started making flowcharts

Flow chart titled 'Is it possible for me to enjoy your game's combat?'
the first bubble says 'Am I selecting actions from a menu or hotbar as my primary method of interaction?' if the answer is no, the path concludes: 'It is within the realm of possibility that I will find your combat fun'. if the answer was yes instead, it leads to another bubble, which reads: 'Is your combat turn-based, or real-time', the three possible answers to which are 'real-time', 'turn-based', or 'both/neither'. If you answer 'real-time', the path concludes: 'It is very nearly impossible that I will find your combat fun'. The other two answers instead both point to the earlier conclusion of 'It is within the realm of possibility that I will find your combat fun'.

Another chart, titled 'What is your game's primary focus?' The first bubble says: 'Is your game primarily PvP or PvE?' The possible responses are 'PvP', 'PvE (single-player)', and 'PvE (co-op)'. If you answer 'PvP', the path concludes: 'I probably will not even try your game'. If you answer 'PvE (single-player)', the path concludes: 'Ok!'. If you answer 'PvE (co-op)', the path concludes: 'thank you thank you thank you', over and over again, the thank yous overflowing out of the box and spilling off the bottom of the image.

Another chart, titled 'How aposematic is your game?' The first bubble reads: 'Is your game a free-to-play live-service game?' If you answer 'no', the path concludes: 'You have my attention'. If you answer 'yes', the path concludes: 'I have already exited out of
your game because your main menu looks poisonous. I don't even have to add any other branches to the chart about your FOMO bullshit or your vapid gameplay or your exploitative monetization because the menu thing alone is disqualifying enough. Seriously, looking at your menu stresses me out so much I feel like I'm looking at pinterest or a fandom wiki or a sketchy download website with my adblocker turned off. Your menu makes me feel like I need to run a virus scan on my computer'

Another chart, titled 'This one's a joke but only kind of'.
The first bubble reads 'Is your game Monster Hunter?'
The possible responses are 'Yes', 'No,' and 'Sort of?'. Answering 'Yes' or 'Sort of?' leads to the conclusion: 'YAYYYY YAHOO YIPPEEEE'. Answering 'No' leads to the conclusion 'You're on thin ice, buddy'.

Got an automated DM the other day from something called "ap.brid.gy", saying someone on mastodon (I think?) was trying to follow my bluesky through this weird proxy ‘bridge’ thing, but in order for them to follow me I had to follow the "brid.gy" account in order to ‘bridge’ my account.

Photo of a DIY-physical copy of 'There's a cat tree in my house', sitting in the grass.

Flyer-style advertisement for a sale happening on my itch.io store. The advertisement reads, in several different fonts: 'Oh shit it's the Aesungaia Pride Month Sale!! 25% off everything all month! For approximately twenty three dollars you can get pretty much everything I've ever made in the last decade!' A smaller caption at the bottom of the flyer points out that 'I'm an Explorer' and 'There's a Cat Tree in my House' are free anyway, but jokes that they are now '25% more free'.
