CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@navi Hehe thank youuuu!

And aww, I see it! I still have to watch that movie lol (<--more behind the times than I thought)

The other only time I've drawn animal versions is for the substar tiers! Nobody noticed every character had an Astemar animal lol.

All of them are very cute, and no, I won't hear any other feedback!

(Dog Astemar here will always be funny for various reasons. Read alt text.)

I don't remember posting this one on here--so it'll either be a repost for some of you or a new post!

I was just thinking of this one today. It was me wondering about furry versions of Astemar, Max and Magnusm and trying my hand at that. I think it's very obvious I am not a Furry Artist lol. Having said that, I was also thinking of this because suddenly I went "oh it would be nice to try to draw dog Astemar again." Maybe one day...

I just think she's cute

Notes:
Astemar is a cute lil spaniel (sorta), Magnus is a French lop bunny and Max is just a cat. Just a cute meow meow.

Fun fact about Max on the cover here--it's been almost...a year or a year and a half since I've drawn him! And this cover is the closest he's been to the original idea design I put down for him.

I really love how he looks a lot here lol. My baby.

@WanderingM0on for real lmao, here please, be psychic for 5 minutes and read my mind xD;;

February became such a bad month for me, I couldn't finish this on time. Is the WIP readable? I don't know but I'm still submitting because I'm happy this #transhetjam exists!

I will definitely finish this story this year! Please enjoy!

THE GREAT BIG DISCONNECT (18+, WIP) by Viy Sitante

TM/F. What is the fluidity of love and attraction? A "how can Heaven love me" story.

Finishing up the transhet thing and ggaaaaaaah I hate writing the synopsis, I hate it hate it HATE IT. I have never written them well, and I know because they never scream "hey this is interesting" to random passersby, they always scream "this person wrote an academic essay and had to shrink it down to match the word count." I end up having to do a first draft, second draft and fifth draft because I write paragraphs' worth of synopsis.

i hate synospis, I just wish we could do away with them and say "here's the thing, here's like 3 trigger warnings, good luck, figure it out yourself"

or maybe get someone else to write them for me lmao.

@RxD_RxT Me realizing that, while I give birthdays to all my OCs, I...forgot to give them to the ones I've worked on for the past few years LMAO. Although the daughter of one has a bday on Valentine's just because it matches her caring, friendly and very open nature. (Valentine's is "Día de la Amistad," translated as Friendship Day, and it's more of a day for everyone, not just lovers.)

I usually either pick a random date that feels like a good match or I try to pick a zodiac sign, then get the date from there. I never keep good track of when I created my children (except for the actual year) so...oops

Despite all of this, I always have so much on my mind, that I never remember to celebrate any of their birthdays

Last week was spent trying to fix Photoshop (CS5) because it started to crash after only 5 minutes of a file being edited and open, and then one or two days of the week spent trying to fix my *computer* because it started to freeze twice ugly.

Computer seems to be fixed as of yesterday but Photoshop...ehhhh. It still crashes after a bit but it lasts longer if I don't have Firefox open??! And even then it's only about half an hour? Depending on the file itself?

I have Affinity Photo thankfully, so I'm not as (censored due to breaking TOS of life) but it doesn't have the same grey ICC profiles and it seems there's no way to share the ones in Photoshop with it, so egh (I'm good on the CMYK angle, luckily)

Anyway, all of this to say I've fallen so behind on the transhet jam, I'm not even sure I'll make it, I'm so mad, thanks again for your cooperation, Universe

@victor001 Porn.

Just found this, high-key interested, so I'll pass it along to like-minded people:

https://doujin-freaks.neocities.org/

"Doujin Freaks is a network of fans and creators who wish to bring the spirit and practice of doujin to the West. So far that's concentrated on the East Coast of the US; I myself, moon, am from central Maryland. However, my goal is to grow Doujin Freaks and encourage people to plan and hold local events no matter where they are!"

Not on Mastodon unfortunately; I'll try to ask if they'll consider bridging to here from Bsky but here's their account: https://bsky.app/profile/doujin-freaks.bsky.social

So hopefully I'll stand my own ground against myself lol.

I don't know about asking for beta readers though. I feel like it needs one at least, even if it's for an unranked jam, but I've never had much luck with beta readers, so. Eh.

idk, I really like how it turned out. Hopefully when I finish the actual thing and go through it after a break, I don't take it out. I'm sure someone would say "take it out, it's not relevant!" but like...

Some of my favorite things involve scenes that aren't "relevant" to the plot but they make the entire product LIVED-IN. Like peeking into a slice of real life through the irrealistic lens. How real life sometimes just has random scenes inserted while you go on your own journey.

But I took some time to go back to playing House of Fata Morgana, and the OST for that game made me go ham again on another intro + a scene that follows it.

If I had to describe it, it's as if I just wrote a TV treatment of a specific character drama 90s show. Including what is now one of my favorite scenes and writing, in general. I really like the character flavoring.

Only worry I have is that it may be "distracting" from the actual plot, because it's more flavor for the world than actually about Max and Astemar--even though *Max* is in the scene AND we learn a bit about his back story. Some subtle hints as well, that aren't really hints later on, but are for the characters telling the story in the scene.

(...That sentence made no sense, sorry.)

Some minor updates:

The intro I had written wasn't working out. Mainly because I was trying to make it fit in the "timeline" that 'how can Heaven love me' has, and wasn't working out because of what I had already published and had yet to publish.

Plus, it felt too much like I was asking readers to read my mind.
