i've been avoiding any of the sprite art because i was struggling so bad with it during the jam but like it's actually easy really if you draw the way you normally do instead of doing some other different shit

i like her so much. i committed to my design principles for two seconds instead of making her a vehicle for my full list of aesthetic preferences and now i am obsessed with her and i'm so mad about that. sucks to be right all the time

if i did like a. taxidermy version of what's here would anyone read that. it looks about 70% done and i am 100% never going to go back and finish it, i am not the same guy who started writing it in too many fundamental ways. but like it's cute
dialogue between two characters indicated by font changing at each line:
"Certainly, it was the fault of the one deciding on the story, wasn't it?"
"I wasn't asking you."
"Who were you asking? Them? They can only answer with whatever words you shove into their mouth."
"I'm not shoving anything in anyone's mouth, thank you. I'm providing options." (options is italicised)
"Is that so?"
"'I think it was actually (redacted)'s fault, also, you're so funny and cool and smart,' you say." (the text is red to indicate it is interactable)

just so charmed
Now, "The Scorpion and The Frog" is a 20th century story from Russia, likely altered from an earlier Persian story of "The Scorpion and The Turtle". There is a similar fable accredited to Aesop, of a mouse crossing a river on the back of a frog, but there, The Frog attempts to drown The Mouse. Afterwards, both mouse and frog are eaten by a passing kite.

There are versions written where The Mouse makes it out alive, and, as I'm sure you surmised, The Turtle isn't too affected by the attempted murder-suicide, but in those stories, as well as in our more famous one, The Frog and The Scorpion always die.

It's an interesting format, isn't it? To characterize the predative instincts of an animal as a defecit of its character, and in turn to make out the failings of people as an inevitable facet of nature."I have been swimming for such a long time,"
said The Turtle to The Scorpion. "Would it bother you too much if I were to take a little rest?"

"You have been such a good friend to me, in spite of my
ceaseless stinging," said The Scorpion to The Turtle. "Please, take as long as you need."

The Turtle slipped down under the water to rest.
The Scorpion clung onto The Turtle's slimy back, as tightly as it could with its small paws.

No matter how long The Turtle spent down there, The Scorpion still held on. To let go of The Turtle's back would mean certain doom. Scorpions cannot swim, after all.

The Turtle would be terribly offended, too, that The Scorpion would rather drown than trust it, and then what would The Scorpion do? Nobody wants to be friends with a scorpion, after all.

(aitsf spoilers) platonic eyeball fingering @ryusaidate.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
i guess the thing is that i want to retool everything from the top but i would rather put out a finished version of the game i like less than not finish it at all. ham ham

and i don't know if i want to finish that version of the game? it's angry in a very listless way, or like, directed at people i don't want to direct anger at. i don't know. i want to finish *a* version of the game, and i think *this* version of the game has value, but i don't know.

thinkiiiiing. the jam version of tail chaser was like. basically entirely an exercise in anti-player sentiment, it is very obvious i was trying to make something "lighter and more accessible" and then instantly went insane and made chess for hogs and added 3 minutes of forced waiting

-- evil creatures pretending to be human and hapless stupid victims, which is the kind of thing that leads to thinking "well no he's not abusing me he's a person with feelings, not The Thing from The Thing (1982). and i am conscious and making the decision to be here". you know

outside of the "why would a woman feel safer with a kidnapper than The Police? she must be crazy" thing i feel like the idea that the idea loving someone who is hurting you is A Syndrome kind of plays into that concept of abuse being something that happens between --

all good, i figured as much! it gets used a bunch as shorthand to the point i don't really think to mention it in like, discussion of torture-as-kink scenarios, but it hit weird in the middle of a message about the character study elements of the fic
strawpage message: anon from yesterday here, i apologize for using that term in my messages!! i honestly didn't know it was outdated/inaccurate! i basically wanted to say that ryuki gaslighting himself that saito really cares for him and that everything is fine in dislocation end was really good

discord message from 'sorry fujoshi': i know everything (i can imagine anything.png)
point being: its not stockholm syndrome because they are soulmates and it's actually good that all that happened. it was good. and i condone it in real life
the only one with stockholm syndrome here is Me because i'm sitting here going "man. i miss ryuki. i hope we get an AI3 :)" no you don't!!!!!!

rysdt.straw.page .....!!! thank you so muchies........ i'm glad you enjoyed the game and my fic :^) the mizuki saito parallels are literally so so so important. and he is literally embarrassing about it
strawpage ask: i played aitsf recently and saito ended up being my fave, so i came across your ryusaito art and felt very compelled by the idea of this ship and your vision of these two. so i read misclaim and finished it the other day. this was one of the very few long fics i've ever read fully. i loved how detailed of a character study this is for saito+ryuki+mizuki especially. the mizuki+saito parallels were scathing. i liked how some events in the fic parallel the ones in aini. and i love how saito successfully creates a stockholm syndrome victim out of ryuki by the end. (2/?i think one of the things i love most about it (besides the sex/gaslighting/manipulation) is how you humanize saito. there's a few moments where you can see past his veneer of being untouchable and realize oh this is just a guy in denial about his trauma + is embarrassing about it. (3/?)anyway this fic + your art made me like ryusaito more than possibly any other aitsf ship. the way you portray their dynamic resonates with my tastes so much. thank you for the brainrot (4/4)

"this is a puzzle where you're meant to carry a box around to solve a handful of puzzles with it" "playtesters keep putting the box down and then forget about it or get frustrated having to walk back to get it" "put a heart on it and say 'the box is your friend :)'" what an incredible solution

new uchikoshi game: "what if the narrative dead girl was alive and also kind of annoying and sucks. what if the player experience you have playing a visual novel was acknowledged and given weight rather than treated as an obstacle to the 'real linear story'" 
uchikoshi game sequel: "what if you had moon rock cancer and it made you experience time backwards but you were in a recreation of tokyo built underneath the real tokyo where everything is the same except backwards. also your choices are actually the protagonist asking chatgpt what to do and you (as chatgpt) answer him but you didn't notice because he's holding his phone off screen the whole time"

on one hand so much shit is inexcusable for a game released in twenty-twenty-five, on the other hand the game is bad, but on third hand: the character designs are good? it could have been so good if it was a video game and not smashing your dick with a hammer for 10 hours
