This is incredible. One of the best VNs I've ever played. It drips with the aimless alienation of growing up in the suburbs, queer and placeless, and the way it brings together its shoujo influences with its modernist style is nothing short of genius

thank you all for 1000 downloads and many kind comments on Half Step Princess. the response has exceeded all our wildest expectations. let's keep sparring, just like this. ok? 🍂🤺💖
now that ive built sufficient brain power back to be able to work on different things at once again, im reaching the state where i can in a single day read / play music / engage with cinema/animation / practice drawing and i once again feel like i have to catch up to the entire world
earlier this month, i obtained 102 internal git repositories from music ai company Suno, which was hacked in November. that source code is now being released through @ddosecrets.org in the public interest. ddosecrets.org/article/suno... 🧵

Half Step Princess by Monica Callaghan
toxic teenage lesbian romance in XXXXXXX, ontario, with swords

transphobic fencer who fully supports trans women in women's fencing so that she has a chance to hit them with swords
I alsooo collected all of the cut ins and CGs I did for Half Step Princess here, just to have em all in one place. ✌️🐇
July sketchbook is up on Patreon! I also muse a bit about Angel’s Egg and Patlabor 2 and my shifting feelings on heavy handed visual metaphor.
almost 500 toxic yuri visual novels to read. that's more than i can count on my fingers and toes. you should read a couple, maybe one, or two, or a couple dozen, or maybe a couple hundred #toxicyurivnjam itch.io/jam/toxic-yu...

played through half step princess by @monica-callaghan.bsky.social and liked it a lot. hoping this is in character for them
this was absolutely incredible. riyoko ikeda, ontario gothic, transfeminine isolation, lesbian alienation. parry, riposte. some of the most beautiful dialogue & prose i've read in a visual novel, embraced by gorgeous art and music. sword fights are bodily intimacies. this is an all-timer recommend
