Hell Has Frozen Over And I Am Open For Commissions!

Operating

This is such an adorable concept for a species based around stars! 💫 I like how their magic cloths and celestial ribbons grow along with them and they become more colourful and fancy, and that they rely on each other to grow up properly! I’d love to see more of them in any sort of creative medium.

Also, I wonder what the elderly look like and if they live as long as and die like regular stars do? And if they do to supernova, do their remains create the next generation of star children?

the um !! some random oc species biology (?) stuff

Hi, everyone, I'm really hoping if any of my posts can blow up again it's this one.

Trans rights are getting worse and worse in the U. S.

Currently, several states are moving to completely ban trans healthcare for minors, limit trans healthcare for adults 26 and younger, ban public drag, place limitations on trans participation in sports, and a lot of other horrific shit.

My only other post that really blew up was about discourse, and so is this one.

I need you all to listen to me. Please.

We don't have a place for discourse right now.

Please, regardless of your stance on queer/LGBTQIA+ topics and the inter-community discourse, remember that we can't win anything divided.

That means, regardless of your view on that one controversial subset of the community, you need to work with us. That means regardless of your views on dysphoria, you need to work with us. We can't afford to get divided on the million different flavors of queer discourse running rampant through the community.

Those laws I mentioned earlier? Their endgame is to make trans existence illegal.

They will keep pushing the age for transitioning back further and further until it's basically inaccessible. They will make performative drag illegal, then all drag, and drag will include trans people in their eyes. They will keep going until we are forced to detransition and go into the closet.

This is really fucking scary and we need, above all else, to be a united community right now.

So please. Fucking please. Set aside your hot takes and discourse. We all live and die by what rights we can get in an allocishet society.

This means stand with each other. Stand with aces, with aros, with enbies, with pan people, poly people, stand with mspec gays and lesbians, stand with kinksters and furries too, because we have our differences but if we get caught up fighting each other then the people that want us all dead will take advantage of that distraction and criminalize us all.

Discourse is a fucking psyop and we need to wise up to it really, really fast.

Please boost this. And please don't argue with me on this post.

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

My project just went live on kickstarter

…and I’m both excited and terrified, lol

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/aurans/visual-novel-aurans

Aurans is a visual novel about growing up and saving the multiverse while wearing wet shoes.

When homely nobody Rowan Nightingale gets hit by a car, she doesn’t die, but instead is chosen to become an Auran - a being who can make anything happen, on three conditions: she has to be able to imagine it, believe it, and then create it. Taken under her mentor’s wing, she travels to other dimensions and learns to harness the power of her imagination, slowly growing more confident in herself. But dark forces are lurking in the shadows, and who better to manipulate than a young, naïve Auran such as her? Soon, Rowan must fight her inner demons - quite literally - in order to save the dimensions from being destroyed. But can you truly believe that you are stronger than the darkest, most evil force in the entire multiverse, when all your life you have believed you weren’t worth anything at all?

The first seeds of the Aurans universe were thought of in 2006, when I was only 11. Since then, the story, characters, and environments have been fine-tuned over and over again. At first, Aurans was written as a book, but the lack of audiovisual content felt wrong. Many other mediums were brainstormed; A comic? An animated series? A movie? For many different reasons, none of those really seemed to fit. Then it became clear: It had to be a visual novel; the perfect blend of text, image, and sound.

After working with the companies Nix Hydra and Dorian, I felt that I had a grasp on the visual novel medium and the surrounding industry to the point where Aurans would be able to come to life. Teaming up with background artist Ivan Sapnu, the two of us got to work, and now, the first installment is almost complete. All we need is that last push - that’s where you come in.

A super quick overview:

GAME GENRE: Visual Novel / Young Adult / Fantasy / Coming of Age

GRAPHICS:  2D illustrations and sprites on static backgrounds

ART DIRECTION: Stylized and cartoony in vein of W.I.T.C.H., the works of Noelle Stevenson, and  the works of Becky Cloonan

PLATFORM:  PC, possibly Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch in the future

PLAYERS:  Singleplayer

ENGINE:  Ren’Py

MARKET:  Anybody age 12-35 with a love of young adult fantasy stories

Fully hand drawn graphics, deep world and lore

Representation of LGBTQ*, diverse body types and POC, with mentions of neurodiversity, while touching upon the themes of self-worth, identity,and bullying

Can stand alone, but is planned as the first installment of the Auran trilogy

~800 USD (~745 euro) will be used to pay our background artist for the remaining backgrounds.

100 USD (93 euro) will be spent on getting the game onto Steam.

Project funded: 900 USD / 850 euro

STRETCH GOALS:

2500 euro / 2700 USD = Original soundtrack; currently the game will use royalty free music primarily provided by Kevin MacLeod, but how sweet would it be to get a soundtrack specifically made for Aurans?

August 24 2023: Kickstarter end

September 1st 2023 - November 30th 2023: Creation and implementation of the remaining backgrounds, music, and sprites. If stretch goal is reached, soundtrack will be commissioned.
