EMERGENCY COMISSIONS/ DONATIONS

hi yall, I'm moving in a week ! Due to a number of wonderful supports we're well on our way to making it to safety, but we're about 300 dollars shy of some extra fees, namely pet transportation for our 2 wonderful ESAs, packing materials, finalizing ticket costs, and some moving company fees.

If you're able to support our move, I have a kofi, patreon, paypal, cashapp, and venmo! I take commissions for SFW/NSFW, OC's, fanart, furries, w/e!! Even of you don't have anything to spare I would really appreciate a reblog so I can finally make it to safety.

If you need some more context for the situation myself, my spouse, and my roommate have been in, feel free to reach out and I'm happy to answer any questions, but we are an all trans and disabled household trying to escape doxxing threats and abuse.

Thank you so much

Lowell gets a frog mini cookie house and maybe a frog ornament for the tree

Is winter a somber moment for them?

Lowell isn't big on Christmas but doesn't really mind it either. He's really into Krampusnacht tho!

NSFW short Drabble of Lowell using a paddle on us then?

:3c

I even picked a paddle for u ur welcome

NSFW below the cut, includes GN reader, spanking with an aluminum implement, brat taming, teasing, rope bondage, crying, stoplight safeword check ins (all green), and mild degradation

"Oh you pretty little thing," Lowell tuts, tracing the outline of the paddle across the outside of your thigh. You shiver, glancing down at the smooth pink metal surface and trying not to betray any nerves. Your throat bobs as you swallow, and you have a feeling that you'd let on a lot more than you intended when he giggles, reaching up to grab at your chin with his free hand.

"Do you want to remind me why I had to tie you up, Doll?" You wrench your face away from him, defiant. If he was going to act so smug, you sure as hell wanted to give him a run for his money.

"Because you're a freak who can't keep it in your pants?" You hiss, squirming against the thick red ropes wound tight around your arms and torso. The answering smack of metal against flesh has you biting your lip, trying to keep down the whimper building in your throat with everything you had.

"Aww, that's not the answer I was looking for, my little plaything. I like my toys well behaved, you know. Why don't you try again?"

"Fuck off," you reply, voice laced with petulant venom. You screwed up your eyes as the answering strikes came hard across your ass, failing to keep down a small cry in response.

"Again," he states, voice a little harder now under the teasing lilt. "Something about you not listening to me," smack, "something about you deliberately disobeying me," smack, "something about you being a relentless, needy little brat."

Smack!

Hot tears well up in your eyes, the pain of the increasingly firm strikes spilling over the lines of your self control. You sob a little, a shaking, tremulous thing from deep in your chest, and the paddle comes to rest gently on what you're sure is the vibrant blooming red of a series of heart shaped impressions on your skin. The chill surface of the aluminum implement, so cruel only moments before, now cools the sting of the previously strikes slightly, offering a second of relief.

"Color," Lowell murmurs, tone briefly soft again as he assesses your condition.

"Green."

The paddle comes down hard again, and you're reminded of the strength of Lowell's arms- working, baker's arms- with brutal clarity.

Tears are spilling freely down your face now, and Lowell takes a moment to catch a bead on his thumb, pulling it up to his mouth to lick it away with a sickening sweet smile.

"Come up with anything yet, Doll? I can do this alllllll day, you know~ I'm sure you'll have such cute bruises when I'm done with you!"

You bury your chin into your chest, heaving out a breath.

"I was a brat, sir."

"Aaaaand?" He urges, bouncing the paddle lightly on the inside of your thigh.

"And uh- fuck, I- I should have listened to you, and now you've gotta make me."

Seemingly satisfied with your answer, Lowell delivered another quick strike to the sensitive flesh of your inner thigh, humming appreciatively at your responding whimper.

"You're so lovely when you break down for me, Dolly. I knew you'd come around." That sugared tone of his sent shivers crawling down your spine, and you pushed your hips forward a little, coming to realize exactly how much his harsh treatment had been affecting you when the evidence of your arousal slid against your underwear. He looked down, noticing as you had what he was doing to you, and discarded the paddle somewhere in the sheets.

"Oh you desperate thing," he sighed. "My desperate little slut, I really got you that worked up just putting you back in your place, huh? Looks like my toy wants me to play with them a little more~" He snickered at that, hands tracing over the purpling impressions he'd left on you before settling over your crotch, his breathing becoming heavy as they played with your waistband.

"Go on now, Doll," he urged, a dark, hungry expression taking over his features, smile becoming more unhinged by the second as he took in the sight of you. "Tell me exactly what else I should do to fuck that bratty attitude of yours right out~"

SO, YOU WANNA MAKE AN INDIE HORROR VISUAL NOVEL ON TUMBLR

Have you been seeing some cool blogs for hot, murderous men who are attached to indie projects? Have you ever wanted to try and make your own, especially as someone who doesn't come from a game design background? Not sure where to start, whether with your Tumblr blog to promote it or with the game itself?

Hi, I'm Kat. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Game Design. I've been making games for 4 years and visual novels for 2. You may know me for Art Without Blood, 10:16, or Limerence. I'm here to help you make your first visual novel.

Though this is specifically geared for a Tumblr crowd making horror games, horror/yandere dating sims, murdersims, etc, I think anyone will find this useful! All of my advice is under the cut.

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE STARTING

You should be wanting to make a game because you want to make a game. I'm sure there's someone out there who is only making a visual novel because they saw that dev's OCs and artwork get their own fandom. Do you want to make a game, or do you just want the attention that comes from making a game?

You cannot be a perfectionist, especially with a demo.

YOUR FIRST PROJECT WILL NOT BE GOOD. THAT'S OKAY. No one's first anything is good.

Some of this advice may sound rude. It's not meant to me. It's just meant to be realistic. Making games isn't fun 24/7. It'll be stressful. And that'll be okay.

OKAY, SO, LIKE, HOW DO I START?

"I've never done programming in my life! I'm so fucking scared right now!" You may be telling yourself this, shaking in your boots with tears running down your face. You're going to have to learn a little programming. It's not going to be all that bad, I promise.

ENGINES

Ren'py is the number one engine you will be recommended. It is very beginner-friendly, with lots of tutorials, assets on itch.io to use and download, and support. The engine comes with a few tutorials in the form of games, whose code you can freely browse. This is the engine I use most often.

Twine is a text-based engine that most people use for interactive fiction. You can add images and audio, though, if you don't mind messing with HTML. I use Twine for text games and for outlining for my larger games.

RPG Maker has multiple versions and has been used for exclusively VNs if you don't mind fucking around with plugins. It can definitely give your game a super unique feel. I recommend RPG Maker MV, since it has the most resources. This line of engines usually costs money, but it often goes on sale for under $5-$15.

People will recommend TyranoBuilder, but as a user and player, the lack of options and the format the games often come in is just...not fun to navigate. It advertises itself as little to no code, but it's often evident in the final results. Some good games have been made in it, though, so if you want to use it for prototyping/practice, you can. I'm not a fan, but that doesn't mean that fans don't exist! This engine costs money.

There are tons of Youtube tutorials for each of these engines. Promise. It's okay to be scared of code, but you're not going to stop fearing it until you learn how to combat it.

YOUR FIRST GAME

This is probably the most important piece of advice I will ever give: DO NOT MAKE YOUR FIRST GAME A LARGE PROJECT.

Your first game will not be good. And that's okay. What I recommend is doing "one week prototypes", where you make games in a short amount of time to learn skills. It doesn't matter how bad they are, just try to make them polished, and try to learn a skill along the way.

Eventually, start working your way up until you feel that the load for your dream project is going to be manageable.

ON MAKING YOUR DEMO

Your demo does not have to be perfect. That's why it's a demo! You are free to (and often will do) change things in it for the final game.

The purpose of the demo is to showcase the features, the general theme, etc. It doesn't mean it has to be the start of your game, but with a visual novel or other narrative game, it's easier to start from the beginning. One demo I really like is Dead Space 2's for E3 because although it's 2 hours into the game, it gives you a full feel for how the real thing will be.

I would say make your demo only 5-15% of your game. If your game is going to be less than 30 minutes of playtime, there isn't really a reason to make a demo.

OUTLINE AND PLAN YOUR STUFF, especially if you aren't used to writing. Keep a list of tasks on a website such as Trello, Notion, or Jira.

Do not spend more than 3-4 months on your demo for a visual novel. You can update it later. You can add things. You can do whatever. But if you are spending more than 3 months on a demo build, then you are never going to get the full project done. Unless your project is going to be super, duper big (as in you have a longer than 2 year plan on creating it), I'd be wary of your time. You also have people who are waiting for your game. Let them know of your speed, your scope, and your own expectations.

ON MAKING YOUR BLOG

Your Tumblr blog should enhance your game. Your game should not enhance your blog.

Make your blog, I'd say, when you have 75%-ish of your demo done. There's a lot of times I've seen people make blogs when they have ideas, those blogs sit for a year, and a demo never manifests.

One thing we do in game development is the devlog, where we basically talk about what we've done with our game. Set how often you want to write a devlog. Weekly? Every two weeks? Monthly? In it, list everything you've done, some challenges, and what's to come. It keeps it real, it keeps you working, and it keeps your followers consistently excited for your game.

If people send you hate, anon or not, do not engage. I know how tempting it will be to clap back or to be upset by it, but any sort of response from you is ammunition and fulfillment to the person who sent it. The best thing to do is to delete it. Feel free to joke about it in a private group chat or something, but being public will only make you a target.

In the same breath, do not be immune or rude about genuine criticism.

It's good to be joking and casual, but keep a sense of professionalism.

People on this website are horny. You are not obligated to indulge in horny asks, even if your game is NSFW.

In fact, you are not obligated to indulge in any asks that you don't want to.

People often make tags for asks per character (I have #dorian ask, #aeron ask, etc). Make a pinned post that has your demo's link and any other important social medias for your game.

ON MAKING YOUR GAME PAST THE DEMO

Try not to overscope! Try to give yourself a deadline. "I want to finish this game in a year." Try to stick to that. It is very tempting to want to continue adding things to it, but please make sure you get the important stuff done first. Core features and core gameplay. You can add extras in later updates, helping to prolong your game.

Practice writing and art in other places. Do short writing exercises. Talk about your game and its plot with other writers to help you tweak bits.

Plan your assets. Try to set a weekly goal for yourself ("I'm going to write 5k words and do 1 background this week").

Most of us aren't musicians. That's okay. Make sure the music you get for your game is allowed to be used. You can use anything non-commercial if your game will not cost money or donations. I try to do songs in the public domain or free to use overall with credit if I don't have a musician. Consult the Creative Commons website if you're unsure how you're supposed to use a certain piece of music. If you don't use the right stuff, not only can it put you in legal trouble, but it can put streamers in hot water if they play your game and they can't upload the video because music is copyrighted.

For the love of God, have fun.

Lowell can probably make body pillows, how he react if Mc wants a big on looks like him? Cuddle buddies 4ever

He can, and he would be thrilled ! He'd probably default to a photo of himself instead of a drawing bc he is hopeless at 2D art, but he'd commission some artwork if you really wanted it to be a drawing to make it more reminiscent of a daki.

He'd love the idea of you being able to cuddle up to him even while he was at work :3

I want this man to do unfathomable things to me

Things that shan’t be fathomed I tell you!!!!

Enjoy ur 100% fathom-free freak boy shenanigans
