I haven't started going to AO3 for it yet, but I just finally watched Project Hail Mary and now I need to look up Grace x Carl (I think the ship name is astrofathers) Grocky works have come to me like a tidal wave, but I need more astrofathers in my life!

I hate it when I was going to say something in a discord channel but forgot and then get a notification that someone else said something in the channel and go "oh right I was going to make a post!" But like it's rude as hell to immediately post about something different after someone else posted lol

So yesterday I tried to get the perfect photo of the odd-eyed sisters Cheerio (dwarf) and Fruit Loop (standard) together. Suffice to say it was harder than I thought it would be, mostly because I was trying to get them both looking at me (to show their matching peepers lol)...

This is also me after being diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and getting a CPAP. And being diagnosed with OCD and getting therapy specific to it instead of just general anxiety. Many such cases lol

There are so many things I wish I would have realized were abnormal and gotten looked at a lot earlier so I wouldn't have to have been dealing with shit untreated for so long. Aka I just finally got diagnosed with chronic migraines and having meds for it sure does help lol

Going back early is both because money and also because going back with a short week before I have a full week to ease myself in sounds like a reeeaallyyyy good idea

I've decided to go back to work 10/7 instead of 10/12 as originally planned, and part of me is like "okay time to get on track going to bed early and getting enough rest to prepare!" But the other part of me is like "shit it's time to stay up late to play as much BG3 as possible before I go back!"

CONTINUED, The Boy From Venus #15 🍄

Panel 1: Audrey and Val are facing one another on the river bank, seemingly in the late afternoon. They're wearing their last respective outfits from the previous episode. Audrey is saying "Well, you live right near the corner store, right? I was thinking, when I get off work ... I could bring over some snacks and we could watch a movie or something."

Panel 2: Val has a strained expression and starts sweating, sucking in her lips, like she is trying really hard to decide what to say.

Panel 3: Audrey holds his hands up and says "Okay, yep, no. That's definitely the NO face. Say no more!"

Panel 4: Val looks to the side with a strained, nervous expression, replying "No, no, Audrey, it's just, I don't think my apartment is ... Ready for visitors."

Panel 5: Audrey tilts his head and asks "Oh? What's up with it?" as Val turns her head away from his, sweating.

Panel 6: Val says "UH," rapidly swinging her head back to face Audrey but with his eyes lagging to the side, giving her time to think.

Panel 7: Val recalls her room, which is an absolute mess, empty pizza boxes, trash bags, socks, unopened mail, miscellaneous chargers, and stains littering the floor. The mattress has no cover, the trash bin is overflowing, and there's a single sound insulating foam panel on the wall behind the computer monitor. A sound of a fly buzzing emanates through the room.

Panel 8: "Black mold," replies Val, finally looking directly at Audrey.

Panel 9: Audrey suddenly leans close to Val and balls his hands with a worried expression, yelling "BLACK MOLD?? Val, you CAN'T BE LIVING THERE!!" Val leans back a bit.

Panel 10: Val gives a thumbs up and a close-eyed nervous smile, saying "No no it's okay. I like ... wear a mask."

Panel 11: Audrey has a comedically sad expression, like a toddler who got told that magic isn't real. Water eyes, tensed chin, as if about to cry.

Panel 12: Val, by contrast, just has her brow furrowed in slight annoyance, asking "What."

Panel 13: Audrey, still watery-eyed, begins speaking in a baby talk voice, saying "My besht fwiend's wivving wiz bwack mowod."

Panel 14: Fisheye lens closeup of Val looking very unamused, brow still furrowed, the setting sun casting a hard shadow on half of the face. She says "Audrey. Audrey you know I hate the V-tuber baby voice."

Panel 15: Audrey raises his head and begins saying into sky, "OOWOWW DA BWACK MOWD IS" and Val interrupts him, hands together in a pleading gesture and eyes shut tight, saying "OKAY OKAY I'll call a mold specialist TODAY. And we can hang out tomorrow. No more ear terrorism."

Panel 16: With her hands still together, Val looks down towards the ground, her pupils hazy, as a bead of sweat rolls down her face. "God I am so f*cked," she thinks.

Excited to hear about the bitsy game jam via @dotzip.online but then realizing binksy, the game engine I used for The Worst Game Jam in January, is based on bipsi, not bitsy, so I can't use it for the jam. Ah well. Still going to try it out since it's a 100 day jam anyway! Plenty of time to learn.

As one who has been on the receiving end of this: "a guy irrationally hates you" is not a controversy, it's not political, it's not tricky. It's some chucklefuck choosing to launch an attack, and it's the job of community leaders to notice the instigators are wrong and laugh them out of the room.

I'm still extremely scared of even the slightest jumpscares and squicked to hell and back by gore, but hot damn had my appreciation for horror as a genre imploded in the past five or so years.

Jackie aka Jax @jaxyacks.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

If you had told me a decade ago I willingly, voluntarily, was the one who suggested going to see a single horror movie in theaters, I would have been skeptical. If you said I did it more than once within a few months, I would think you were absolutely insane.

Jackie aka Jax @jaxyacks.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Tbh I am probably not up for dedicating two hours sitting in a movie theater right now anyway. I'm sure it would be fine, but I'm not sure I want to stake $$ on it lol Especially since I shouldn't be splurging too much rn anyway But still

Jackie aka Jax @jaxyacks.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Very rarely do I go out to watch movies in the theater. I could count the # of times I've done it in the past five years on one hand. This year I have watched 3 in theaters, all horror (which I could also count the # I watched in the past 5 years on one hand!) and now I hear the RE movie is good...

A few thoughts from the Competition Director.

I apologize to anyone who follows here to escape politics, but I felt the need to give my thoughts on a few issues using all the platforms available to me. I'm Jewish, and I'm disgusted with the horrific war crimes that have been committed by Israel, including the killing of over 20,000 children in Gaza. I'm American, and I'm outraged that our tax dollars have paid for many of the weapons used in these war crimes. Stop sending weapons to war criminals. Free Palestinians from the blockades, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, land theft, and genocide carried out by Israel. Free Palestine. -Charlie Weisman, Competition Director of NYC Midnight

Anyway. Game really cool, really aspirational! I really really really need to work on my longfic and I said I would wait to work on Caedes until I finished Bondless Prince, Bloodless Knight, but I might break that to at least tinker around with some of the variables and such

Jackie aka Jax @jaxyacks.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

One day I would like to make a small game in a bunch of different interactive fiction languages to demonstrate the differences. Not sure if I would include Ren'Py in that just because it has the inherent visual element, but it's something to consider

100

Jackie aka Jax @jaxyacks.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I don't have the artistic abilities or partnership to make a visual novel, so I won't be switching over to Ren'Py for Caedes, but I've used it before and will again eventually, so it's helpful to compare them on top of just finding it kind of neat

110

Jackie aka Jax @jaxyacks.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

It's also been neat looking at it in Ren'Py and thinking about how I would write that in Ink. Is there a more efficient way? Is the more efficient way I'm thinking of actually quicker writing or just looks cleaner? Are there things I prefer in Ren'Py? Can I possibly actually do that in Ink?

100

Jackie aka Jax @jaxyacks.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

It's also been really fun seeing how much work went into "if the player decides to eat gross shit and puke in front of a bunch of people" since you can puke in like 5 different locations I think?? There's so much! It's so cool seeing exactly how differently things can go and how much is remembered

Jackie aka Jax @jaxyacks.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I did end up decompiling SH so I could look at all the behind the scenes stuff. Not to metagame, just to see how they set everything up; not just the relationship points but also the other one off variables.

Being in a relationship means opening yourself up to someone you can never fully know - a vulnerability that can be as wonderful as it can be dangerous. There's no saying the "right" thing to safely win someone's heart in Scarlet Hollow, because everyone has their own motivations outside of you.
