iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

when the game is doing an extended shrek reference as a bit but the last time i had to make a dress for fiona it was so hellish instead of laughing im sitting there doing the "trying to kill the customer with my mind" stare

at least dorothy's "all fabrics" request lets me use up my ugly spare fabric, yknow? fiona is the reason the ugly fabric is in my inventory in the first place

every time fiona walks in now my blood pressure rises

another thing dressmaker captures with excrutiating accuracy: sometimes the client's demands are terrible, and in the end your only option is to hand them the most dogshit ugly dress you've ever made

Nobody who is making this statement is thinking about games like Venba, Sorry We're Closed, Dreams on a Pillow, Disco Elysium, Mundaun etc. Games that actively challenge the player with what it's trying to say while their YT recommendations haunts them with Asmongold clips

This mentality sucks not just cause of doomerism, but also bc for as great as some old games are, there's so many experiences they never showed bc the industry has historically not allowed many marginalised folks to tell their stories. I wished people cared about the creative voices we're gonna lose

if youre afraid of being chatty, expressive, loud, or silly, just remember that birds shout their silly heads off every day under the sun and everyone loves birds. its ok to be a yapper

this was mostly my fault because I refused to use the vegetable pattern fabric they so clearly wanted u to use. "i'll make fiona into a cute radish like she said she wanted!", I thought. goddddddddddd

squid lesbian 🦑🎨 💛🤍💜🖤 @squidbian.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

this comm was HELLISH what the FUCK FIONA. went thru FIVE iterations trying to make a veggie dress that fit her pattern requirements 🫠 (only some of my unsatisfactory attempts pictured) genuinely got so frustrated i started tearing up. 20/10 accurate to the IRL sewing experience lmao

(muttering under my breath) mushroom counts as a vegetable. mushroom counts as a vegetable.

dressmaker dress for fiona "walking billboard" comm. It is a poofy dress done in mushroom red polka dots.

squid lesbian 🦑🎨 💛🤍💜🖤 @squidbian.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

this one's not as good but god is the gradient satisfying to look at

dressmaker dress. incredibly frilly pink dress done in a fabric gradient

squid lesbian 🦑🎨 💛🤍💜🖤 @squidbian.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

im at least planning on drawing priya in some of the dresses i've made her. i am delighted to say that i think she and i might have similar fashion taste. her comms have all been my favourites.

Studies like this, that confirm the obvious, exist so policies can be built upon their foundation of documented evidence. Without them it can difficult to convince policy makers to give a shit, or even those unaffected to give a shit. In other words, it may seem obvious, but these are IMPORTANT

squid lesbian 🦑🎨 💛🤍💜🖤 @squidbian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

tho i must say im also incredibly charmed by edith. her slamming open the doors of the dress shop yelling "I MUST win this cosplay competition the prize is SMUT. 500 dollars". she has the unhingedness and personal drive appropriate of a woman in her 50s w a dead husband she's great

squid lesbian 🦑🎨 💛🤍💜🖤 @squidbian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

priya and prudence dressmaker seperately are both characters i would fucking die for. what a joyous occasion it is that i hear later they [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS]

squid lesbian 🦑🎨 💛🤍💜🖤 @squidbian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

yessss i feel the exact same. great way of putting it also

squid lesbian 🦑🎨 💛🤍💜🖤 @squidbian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

god i adore this woman so much. i hope she comes to buy terrible dresses from me forever

thats very true. probably some of my fatigue with this trend comes from the same place of being fatigued with the real world :")

squid lesbian 🦑🎨 💛🤍💜🖤 @squidbian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

it reeks of irony poisoning, i think is my main issue with it. it makes me feel like an idiot for being invested Before the reveal. "lmao, you stupid NERD. you REALLY thought this was gonna be about swords and dragons? well, buckle up, cuz this isnt your NORMAL fantasy world..........." 🫠

squid lesbian 🦑🎨 💛🤍💜🖤 @squidbian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

is there something wrong with Just Straight Up Fantasy??? are you incapable of imagining a world outside of our own?? idfk. i dont knowww it just feel juvenile and uninspired to me, is all. trying so hard to be cool it loops back to being lame and boring.

squid lesbian 🦑🎨 💛🤍💜🖤 @squidbian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

xbc1 gets a pass bc theres a good thematic reason for it nier straight up does not count bc ITS NOT A SECRET so it doesnt feel like im getting cheated out of anything its when theres 0 point to it and theyre all sneaky abt it not actually being a fantasy world im going 2 go Rat Mode

squid lesbian 🦑🎨 💛🤍💜🖤 @squidbian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

not naming names, but if im reading a fantasy story and the world reveals itself to be "~secretly~ a post apocalyptic modern world ooooo" at any point, i am going to gnaw off the writers fingers one by one like an oversized rat
