bipolar chimera kitty! this is sort of a simplified chimera (tiny horns, wings, and silly snake tail) combined with the concept of a chimera tortie!
i'm not really a hater so much as a disliker. occasionally the fires of hate burn within me but mostly i just encounter things and go hm. don't like that.
hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate
BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

As someone recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, one thing that’s been helping me grapple with the intense shame I have over all my “wasted potential” is accepting that potential doesn’t exist and never did.
This sounds so harsh, but please bare with me.
I procrastinated a lot growing up. I still procrastinate today, but less so. And yet, I got good grades. I could write an A+ paper that “knocked [my professor]’s socks off” in the hour before class and print it with sweat running down my face.
I was so used to hearing from teachers and family that if I just didn’t procrastinate and worked all the time, I could do anything! I had all this potential I wasn’t living up to!
And that’s true, as far as it goes, but that’s like saying if Usain Bolt just kept going he could be the fastest marathon runner in the world. Why does he stop at the end of the race??
If ANYONE could make their top speed/most productive setting the one they used all the time, anyone could do anything. But you can’t. Your top speed is not a speed you’re able to sustain.
Now, I’ve found that I do need to work on not procrastinating. Not because the product is better, even, but because it’s better for my mental health and physical health to not have a full, sweating, panicked breakdown over every task even if the task itself turns out excellently. It’s a shitty way to live! You feel bad ALL the time! And I don’t deserve to live like that anymore.
So all of this to say, I’m not wasting a ton of potential. I don’t have an ocean of productivity and accomplishments inside of me that I could easily, effortlessly access if I just sat down 8 hours a day and worked. There’s no fucking way. That’s not real. It’s an illusion. It’s fine not to live up to an illusion.
And if you have ADHD, I mean this from the bottom of my heart: you do not have limitless potential confounded by your laziness. You have the good potential of a good person, and you can access it with practice and work, but do not accept the story that you are choosing not to be all that you are or can be. You are just a human person.

Warnings: Witches of Ferngrove is aimed at 18+ audiences, and will contain graphic depictions of violence and gore, strong language, depictions of self-harm, abuse, torture, and mature content.
Summary: This is going to be an urban dark fantasy interactive fiction game targeted at adults and focused on romance. This means there won't be an option to not romance anyone, I know this might be disappointing but it's the game we want to make. It will be ran on ChoiceScript and the demo will be published here on our Tumblr when the first chapter is completed. It will be published through Dashingdon.
The game focuses on you, the eldest of a family of witches from the small, idyllic town of Ferngrove where nothing ever happens. Your family are witches in a town of humans, and as a result you grew up sheltered and unaware of the magical world, besides the little your parents deemed safe enough for you to know. Other than weak charms and potions of luck, you don't really know anything about the supernatural world. You left Ferngrove when you graduated from high school and never looked back, becoming a successful journalist at the Echo Gazette in a big city like you always dreamed. Depending on your choices, you have Skyped with your family and they might have taken trips out to see you in the city, but you have not stepped foot back in your hometown.
That is, until you get a call that changes your life forever. Your mother is dead. Aleia Craft. The woman you thought invincible. You must travel home for the funeral and contend with a darker conspiracy. As you begin to unravel the mystery of your mother's death and the secrets she left behind, you begin to realise she is a woman you didn't know at all. Soon, you see that there are things at play here bigger than you could have ever imagined. Dark forces conspire against you. It will be up to you whether you can withstand the storm brewing on the horizon. Make allies and enemies, fall in love, hone your magic, and discover your legacy. Be careful who you trust, even those closest to you are not what they seem.
Customizable MC - choose your gender (nb-inclusive), sexuality, name, appearance, skills, and personality.
Choose how you feel about magic and the supernatural world that had been hidden from you by your family. Choose whether you accept or reject your magical legacy.
Allow your unique experience to shape your skills.
Choose your magical specialty.
Investigate your mother's murder with a cast of interesting, and not-so-trustworthy characters.
Discover family secrets and navigate your family dynamics.
Gain allies and enemies.
Fall in love with 1 of 4 gender-selectable love interests.
CORA/COLTON CALLOWAY
Your childhood best friend that disappeared and cut contact with you seven years ago, right when you were both meant to move to the big city and chase your dreams together. Now, you're back in your hometown for your mother's funeral after swearing never to return. There is a reckoning coming, you can feel it in the air. But when it arrives can you forgive them after everything that happened?
"I can’t abandon them. I’m all they have left."
REN ASHIKAGA
The reclusive stranger that runs an Airbnb out of their mansion on the edge of Ferngrove. An Airbnb that you just so happen to rent out when you finally return home for the funeral. A mansion is the last thing you expect after your tumultuous journey, but Ren provides a welcome distraction. They are aloof, mysterious, and frustratingly, unnaturally attractive. But be wary of pretty faces that hide dark secrets.
"You do not choose when darkness takes hold of you. You won't even realise it's happened until someday, far in the future, someone holds up a light and you come face to face with the horror you have become."
WYATT/WILLOW KING
A witch you meet when you return to Ferngrove, who claims to want to help you find your mother's killer. Kind, enigmatic, and more secretive than they let on. W's coven sent them to investigate what happened and help the witch community in Ferngrove. Will you let them train you in the art of the arcane and teach you what your mother tried to forbid? Or will you keep them at arm's length?
"Compassion costs nothing and so many people still refuse to use it."
JULES ADDARIO
The private investigator that arrives just in time to help you with the case after you have been struggling with the bumbling human police. Jules is dark, haughty, and a little more than crazy. They're hiding something and you know it. The question is can you trust them long enough to help you find your mother's killer and uncover the secrets your family kept buried? After all, some coffins are better left unearthed.
"I am utterly unlovable. And because I am unlovable I am selfish enough to want you to love me anyway."
