call it visual arts for how much i am trying to picture things in my head for my story rn 💀

and sure publication is nice and all but what's better is the love of the game, can you believe it

my mecha story feels functional in that its 2k words long so far and i have a semi coherent idea of where its headed but it is also extremely dysfunctional in that i feel like the complete version of it will end up being 8k+ and its due tonight 💀

inkfoundry is so goated bro

Day 1: "Chī Ku" by J.Y. Zhang from @othersidespec.bsky.social This one challenged me to be patient, lulled me with the sickly sweet fig imagery, and then gut punched me with mournful longing and the weight of memory. othersidespec.com/pieces/chi-ku/

Chī Kǔ - OTHERSIDE

In the clutches of Winter, I eat a dried fig for dinner and dream of the woman I left on the bridge. At the threshold where Xīngpíng ends and the road begins, she once clasped my hands and told me, ea...

Issue 2 is out now! This week, we’re continuing to highlight the pieces in this issue. Up next is @jyzh.bsky.social's “Chī Kǔ.” This lush story is perfectly bittersweet—endless yearning contained in a handful of rotten figs and only 1700 words. ❄️ Read it here: othersidespec.com/pieces/chi-ku/

6th story! "Chī Kǔ" by @jyzh.bsky.social is so short but weighs so heavy--I've been thinking about it all day (and in my timezone, I write this close to midnight). Beautifully written and so full of yearning. I love the core relationship here. The worldbuilding is also so lush and soft 💜

The portal fantasy continuation that I never knew I needed 🫂😭 “You know she loves you, but you also know she would choose the portal over you.”

My story is in @othersidespec.bsky.social!! othersidespec.com/pieces/remad... RRR is a post-portal quest. It's the Pevensies reverting back to children, & Peter taking Jane when he finds Wendy is all grown up, but set it in the PH🇵🇭 w/ a mother & a daughter who've never known how to reach each other

ISSUE 2 IS NOW FREE TO READ ONLINE! Tiger princesses! Cyborgs! Spacefaring scientists and sword-wielding students! Our second issue is warm, tender, hopeful, and sometimes horrifying in the best way. It was a joy to assemble, and we hope you enjoy it too🪐🗡️🌈 othersidespec.com/issues/issue-2/

had an issue where the two main menu knights would fall out of sync and stop fighting. To fix this, ive put in a check so if they haven't attacked for long enough they start making out theres also a 1 in 1000 chance for it to happen if u idle on the main menu long enough. #indiegame #gamedev

i'm getting choked up over this story oh my god T_T and the writing is so gorgeous. "The way of your world was sunrise and tiger-cry and sunset, your place immutable and evergreen."
