Thanks to @sterliewrites.bsky.social for asking me to make another track for his babies as a #VGenCommission โค I like Margaret a lot! Disaster lesbians are kind of my brand. Mechanics are also my brand. She fits a specific niche I'm very fond of.

Heya #TeaseYaGame! NonPlatonic Forms is a meta-horror visual novel about loving the artistic process a little too literally. It's my love letter to games like Umineko, Saya no Uta, and The House in Fata Morgana.

Anime girl King Arthur and the history of genderbending in the Fate series

While occasionally thematically messy and narratively convoluted, #Fateโ€™s long history of genderbending is rooted in a genuine interest in exploring gender, identity, and personhood.

this is all it's been doing recently. it'll get 5 stitches into a part of the design and jam on the bottom from too much top thread bunched on the bottom. I've rethreaded it so many times, tried multiple different top & bottom threads, tried different patterns, cleaned the bottom part, etc.
