the problem with autism is sometimes you want to do something (brave) but you need someone to gently walk you through each step so you know what will happen. and people don’t like doing that

i love watching brennan hinge big supernatural introductions on emily or ally bc they react so differently to them

brennan will put the most monstrous, evil creature in front of emily and she'll meet it with compassion and empathy

brennan puts a sublime deity in front of ally and they talk to it like someone they accidentally bumped into at the mall

I can't stop thinking about "not a very happy soul, but a very kind one"

GOD something about "riz is the only character allowed to take stress for other people" and "riz is not slowing down at all; if he does, that is when he will break". something about the terror of sacrifice as an act of love and the inevitable reckoning it invites. something about scraping yourself raw and bloody against the pavement, about shouldering the weight of your future and your friends futures and every single stupid mistake you've made along the way. something about sprinting ahead even as the world vows to bring you to your knees.

when do you let your hands stop bleeding!!!

Our Life Now & Forever: Polyamorous Relationship Feature Announcement!

So, I’ve changed my own mind! You will be able to end up in a relationship with both Qiu and Tamarack if you want to when Our Life: Now & Forever is fully released. I originally didn't guarantee a polyamorous relationship option because I didn’t know for sure if it'd be possible to add it without pushing the game back, however this story would simply feel incomplete without that. It was very obvious when writing the Step 2 preview for the soon-to-release demo update. Qiu, Tamarack, and the MC are as important as a group as they are in individual pairings. It has to be done. Besides, tons of choice and having relationships be whatever makes you most comfortable is why people wait years for GB Patch to finish these games in the first place, haha.

Now, the way the optional poly relationship will work is that Qiu and Tamarack would be in a committed platonic relationship with each other and can be in a committed platonic or romantic relationship with the MC. Qiu and Tamarack won’t be romantically involved with each other regardless of the choices the MC makes.

This relationship dynamic will only be available in Step 4: Adulthood. It won’t be something you can get together during the bulk of the story because Qiu and Tamarack do need time to sort things with each other over the years before taking that kind of step.

Nothing is going to change with our plans so far. Our Life: Now & Forever will have a Kickstarter that's launching less than two weeks. If everything goes well, the goal will be to release the first three Steps and most of the DLCs in late 2025. The Step 4 Epilogue with the poly relationship option and any bonus DLCs that get funded by the Kickstarter would come out later on.

I’ll be updating the game’s information to reflect this new element as a basic part of the project ✨.

Thank you to everyone who’s loved both Tamarack and Qiu already! I hope this will make the story that much happier to experience.

Burrow's End Family Tree

Aurora keeping careful note of everything Baxter tells her until one day when he agrees to take her and the girls on a trip to his hometown and she remembers every single detail he ever gave her about the friends he had there.

So she goes full Elizabeth style and tracks down Qiu and Ren on social media and there's a really cute cliche moment where they surprise Baxter near the old bridge they used to play by and it's like they're kids again.

And the girls are there and Autumn rushes up to Qiu all excited because we share a name isnt that so cool ???

And Baxter has to explain that his emotionally unavailable ass couldnt reach out himself but he could name his daughter after the kid who actually wanted to be his friend.

Our Life: Now & Forever is gonna be having a Kickstarter and these are the two main goals we'll be working towards. Hopefully both can be met 🥹

The campaign and a demo expansion will go live in early October!

Hi @aliceoseman look at the I was born for this brazilian cover with one poster and one pin!

It's crazy that these strikes are happening given that all the writers and actors are asking for is less than 0.3% of the revenue these studios make.

Maybe if enough people watched they'd give us a season 2

And to add on this: I love Dropout's improv content but I miss scripted shows like Kingpin Katie and Ultramechatron. There's a lot of potential there for a new branch of content

Dear anyone with a Dropout subscription,

You should watch Ultramechatron Team Go!

I didn't know it existed until yesterday, when I watched the new Dropout Trailer, and then binged the whole thing and. It is truly a tragedy more people don't know about this shit.

And if Brennan in makeup is what it takes to get you in the door, it's got Brennan in makeup! (And also just the whole thing is so good, and everyone nails the vibe, and go watch it)

Can you explain this gap in your blog history

gentlemen, witness Houdini manifest.
