Back from vacation; now it's time for laundry and figuring out what to eat for the rest of the week. Also working overtime on getting another chapter of TGC out there.

Happy PMD day to all! Like countless others, my life was also touched by the series all the way back to the original Red Rescue Team. I love this series more than I could ever express through mere words; it is a part of me. I made something a little... different to share sometime later today!

I am on vacation; I saw this moth. Pretty moth.

Age verification has just claimed the account of my beta reader, RequiemsLullaby; he was literally just looking for artists to commission. Fuck you, Bluesky, fuck the tech oligarchs harvesting our entire existance for profit, and fuck this country for enabling this bullshit. We are not free.

Reposting because of the sony news

Played Casualties Unknown last night with my beta, and I have to say, as gruesome of a game it is, I had a blast. No video game has ever simulated my empathy nearly as strongly as this one; truly unique.

Life is beating my ass; so many things demanding my attention... I think this is what hostage negotiators feel like. Regardless, I'm still making progress on the next chapter. Also, contemplating a name change.

Someone please drop another kudo; my baby is stuck in zoomer hell. (Thank you for enjoying what I make 🙂)

Productivity is through the roof. I don't know what's going on, but I ain't gonna stop.

Update: The Guardian Coalition Chapter 23: Matthew's Conviction II (5.6k words) archiveofourown.org/works/49322158 Continuing to round these guys out; I'm really liking where things are going. Enjoy! #pokemon #fanfiction

"fiction normalizes-" is the ultimate calling card for puritanism it's a call for media and even fantasy to be sterilized and frictionless through nothing but a dressed-up version of "guns in video games make kids violent :(" and well-meaning people actually have adopted it without realizing this

New chapter this weekend probably. I blame my lack of uploads on a crippling Deadlock addiction.

Hold on, I'm cooking.

I do IT for a living. That said, what the fuck is a 525?? This is equivalent to your doctor asking you how you managed to swallow a handful of Lego.

I keep running into situations where I write a chapter, post it, write another chapter, have a great idea that I can't do because of something I'd written in the previous chapter. It feels very restrictive, and I think I'm going to be changing how I post things moving forward.

Pokémon has been a part of my life since I was just a young boy with his Spongebob skin Gameboy Advance; now I'm in my mid 20s and convey my love for it in my writing every day. It managed to transcend just being a video game and became something people cherish the world over for its magic.

So apparently there's a default setting to only allow DMs from people you follow, but it's *not* in the settings, it's in a submenu in the chat tab. I kind of feel like an idiot, but at the same time what the fuck.

This looks so fucking hype; hopefully it doesn't get Thanos snapped by Nintendo's lawyers.

Hey! Someone’s developing a mystery dungeon mod for Cobblemon in Minecraft! One step closer to becoming Pokemon for real!!! youtu.be/farZSK6jRoA?...

Today is a good day; I already wrote my goal this morning, actually got myself to exercise, and did some chores... and it's not even noon! Ah, the elusive feeling of being accomplished.

Update: The Guardian Coalition Chapter 23: Matthew's Conviction (6.6k words) archiveofourown.org/works/493221... Finally rounding out these guys. Enjoy! #pokemon #fanfiction

I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

I prefer to keep my politics seperate from this space-and will try to abide by that-but as things seem to be coming to a head, I need to point out that everything could be over next week if America had a general strike like Minnesota and shut down the country; we run America. generalstrikeus.com

It was about -16 out earlier today, and I caught my weather app reporting wind chills approaching -40 when I woke up at 2am this morning. Stay warm everyone; don't let you pipes freeze!

Next chapter's almost done; I'm very happy with how it's turning out.

Keep Furry Weird. The furry fandom is a radically queer, extremely imaginative movement of boundless kink-positivity and self-discovery. It is something truly precious and unique in that regard✨❤️🐀

I think I've done enough work on this to consider it done.

I had the great idea to start taking notes about my fic because it's gotten so big. Will definitely help reduce the inconsistencies that I keep finding.

"Fanfiction allows people to explore identity, sexuality, trauma and love through characters they already trust. For many queer readers and writers, it was the first place they saw themselves represented."

New fic: Christmas Spark (6.2k words, F/M, SFW) archiveofourown.org/works/76927226 This was a gift I made for my beta and great friend @requiemslullaby.bsky.social, based in a universe of one of his own fics. Be sure to check him out, too.
