Play the Game | Bonus Stories | Patreon
Hi all!
To catapault myself get back into the creative mindset, I've been doing a sketch-a-day over on Patreon this month! So 21 so far - mostly Nameless with a couple of fanarts.
Previews below, and also Ho-Oh makes an appearance in one? Either way, there's lots to enjoy! 🧡
And one other announcement...
I'll be streaming this weekend for the first time! For now it'll be art, but eventually I may have some writing/game work up.
The stream will be this Saturday, April 27, at 1500 GMT for ~3-4 hours. You can find me on Twitch now, and I'll post a link here again once I'm live.
The plan is for it to be pretty chill, just drawing and chatting and would love to have you stop by to say hi 🧡 See you there!

CONTEXT: the gaza freedom flotilla coalition aims to bring emergency aid (food, medical supplies, etc) to a starving and besieged gaza. activists and journalists from all over the world (including diaspora palestinians like dylan) will be participating, and they know the risk — in 2010 turkish activists attempting a similar mission had their flagship raided by israeli forces, who murdered 10 activists aboard (9 died on site and another died later from critical injuries).

SPOILER WARNING Soooo, even if you call your dear bosses you end up Scytha's enemy before you even land? I was going for an inside infiltration, but that's not an option, bc they try to kill you one way or another anyway? Or am I just that bad in picking my choices? I'd love to know, before nitpicking at how much of an asshole I can be to Lance before things turn south.
unfortunately, yes - at this point, scytha are out on cleanup duty. the director's already decided you're dead; she's just seeing if she can extract any useful information from you before she um. extracts anything else.

how prevalent is religion in the PH universe? I'm guessing not very much and obviously it's not part of the operatives' lives but, for example, are/could there be pockets of humans who are religious? I'm not sure I'm wording this right haha I hope it's understandable
it definitely exists! ofc with the advances in science and space travel some things are recontextualised, with some beliefs becoming less prevalent and others becoming more so, but certainly science and religion aren't mutually exclusive and it's still pretty prevalent. some planets are more religious or more spiritually homogenous than others, but there's no galaxy-wide dominant religion or anything like that.
I think religion in scifi is a really interesting topic and smth worth exploring! I'm not doing it in hadea bc it's kind of beyond the scope of the game with everything else I wanted to include, so the characters are by and large generically nonpractising but that's not bc religion has been wiped out or is considered archaic or disproven on a galactic level.
#I think it's a very boring take to say that science at a certain level simply cancels out religion or spiritual belief#and I think people will always find things to believe in. I think that's part of human nature and I'd like to think more about the interpla#of that with things like AI. how does that intersect with ideas about souls??#but it's just smth that I haven't given myself the space to do properly#anon

Have u heard about the flotillas departing now/soon for palestine
yes!!! i think everyone should learn about the freedom flotilla, which is setting sail for gaza very soon and needs to have eyes and ears on it, as israel has a long history of attacking, raiding and occaisonally killing humanitarian workers on aid ships to gaza, as they did in 2010 with the first freedom flotilla (because that's how long Gaza has been under siege)
here's an interview with journalist and lawyer dylan saba, who is setting sail on it and is a good person to follow to learn more about it:
and this is their website:
remember to follow and check #freedomflotilla on twitter in the coming days.

IM THE PERSON WHO WAS TALKING ABOUT THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE WE LAST SPOKE A FEW DAYS AGO And i agree about how sad it is that most queer horror authors i dont vibe with. do you have any you DO like? im always on the lookout for more and from what i’ve seen of your book taste on here we have pretty similar taste in books. can be any genre of horror tbh im not picky
hehehe yes i'd love to give u some recommendations! though if i'm being honest i really haven't found that many authors in the genre that i really vibe with yet. im still on the hunt... may leitz is probably the only one i can recommend that is kinda in the same vein as the "popular" ones, but Leitz is someone who i think does well balancing the extreme aspects of it with characters that are actually interesting and sympathetic to read (as opposed to just one-dimensional cannon fodder for random violence)
i don't know if any of these authors actually refer to themselves as "queer horror" authors nor do i know with certainty if all of them are a part of the lgbt community, but um. well i like their books. these also all aren't strictly about the characters identity; some focus more on it than others so i'll just say it's horror + lgbt characters.
i'll start with extreme horror:
fluids by may leitz - this will be the most extreme book i recommend, and i've talked about it a few times before. it's about two women, named Dahlia and Lauren, who meet on tinder during the pandemic, and after only a few days of talking Lauren takes it upon herself to drive to Dahlia's hometown and try and "save" her. things escalate, and the two women's paths diverge. cw: extreme violence and gore, rape, incest (the two girls pretend to be related), emetophobia, suicide, eating disorder, murder, literally everything you can think of. this is Extreme Horror, and i wouldn't recommend this one for anyone that's not already familiar with the genre.
girl flesh by may leitz - while i didn't like this one as much as fluids, i'm just a fan of may leitz's writing in general so i'd still recommend it. this one has a bit of a pacing problem & does a lot of telling rather than showing, but i like the direction leitz takes this one in the end. i've talked about this one before too so you might remember me rambling about it. this one is about two women who are kidnapped and wake up restrained in a dirty hotel in the middle of the texas mesa. they work together to escape their captors as well as the wild mesa and maybe even fall in love a little bit on the way. cw: extreme violence, gore, transphobia/deadnaming, eating disorder, emetophobia, self-harm, rape. this one isn't as extreme as fluids but i'd still be cautious with it.
to be devoured by sara tantlinger - this one is a short novella you can read in one sitting. Andi really really really wants to know what carrion tastes like. she's fascinated by the vultures that circle the edge of her property, but her fascination soon turns to obsession, and Andi will stop at nothing to learn their secrets. cw: blood consumption, cannibalism, violence and gore, very graphic animal harm and animal death
okay now the rest are just more general horror:
house of hunger by alexis henderson - loosely based on the legend of Elizabeth of Bathory, this story takes place in a society that runs on blood. Marion travels to the House of Hunger to begin her term as a bloodmaid under Countess Lisavet, who has a mysterious ailment that renders her weak and bedbound unless she has a constant flow of blood to treat it. Marion gets to know the other bloodmaids, and in time begins to realize not all is as it seems at the House of Hunger. cw: blood consumption, violence, abusive relationships/gaslighting, death
alexis henderson has also written the year of the witching, and she just announced an academy for liars. i really like her writing so i plan to check out her other work soon-ish.
apparitions by adam pottle - again i talked about this one recently so you may have seen it already, but i NEED more people to read this book. this follows the story of a young man who was born deaf and raised in an abusive household until he was able to escape as a teenager, only to be institutionalized immediately after. there he meets another deaf teen, and for the first time in his life, he has a language that he can speak with and can finally be understood. cw: child abuse, institutionalization, homophobia, abusive relationship, ableism, violence, death, religious trauma, animal harm and animal death.
the luminous dead by caitlin starling - gyre price is a lone caver swaddled inside a hi-tech suit that allows her to dive deep underground to map mineral deposits off-planet. however, the person on the other end of the suit has other plans, and easily takes control of gyre and her suit, putting the two at odds with each other as gyre spirals into uncertainty and paranoia while also having to deal with the terrifying presence of the tunneler. cw: claustrophobia, death, forced drugging, violence, gore, abusive/toxic relationship
caitlin starling also has a few other books though i haven't gotten around to reading them yet and i honestly haven't heard much about them so i can't say how they compare, but the luminous dead is one of my favorites of all time.
the Sworn Soldier series by T. Kingfisher - i love these books, they're just short fun horror stories with a really charming main character. Alex Easton is a retired soldier from Gallacia, and has their own special pronouns in Gallacian (kan/kanself) as part of their occupation and culture, and is what we would consider nonbinary (not all soldiers identify this way, but Alex does). vicars in Gallacia use van/vanself, there are different pronouns for children and adults, etc. i think it's just really interesting and i enjoy what the author has done with the worldbuilding and language, and how seamlessly it fits into her writing. the first book is a retelling of the fall of the house of usher (and is the stronger of the two) while the second one has Alex returning home to Gallacia and facing off with an old Gallacian superstition that's haunting their family cottage.
again i don't really know how T. Kingfisher/Ursula Vernon personally identifies but i do recommend her writing regardless, she's written other horror books as well as some fantasy books & she's just incredibly skilled imo, easy and fun to read.
most of my TBR that i'm working towards is horror so maybe i'll update this post later with more.... i'm currently reading providence girls by morgan dante and into the drowning deep by mira grant.
morgan dante has a few other books that are all some flavor of gothic horror/romance and i'm very excited for their new book that just came out TODAY that's a carmilla/elizabeth of bathory reimagining. i'm planning on reading that Immediately (i preordered it) so i'll report back for it and once i finish providence girls, too.
the next few books on my TBR that are all lgbt + horror:
The Seep by Chana Porter
Thirst by Marina Yuszczuk
A Dowry of Blood & An Education in Malice, both by S.T. Gibson
Little Rot by Akwaeke Emezi (i think this one is a thriller actually and also isnt out yet but whatever. i recommend this author, they genre-hop a lot & have a decent amount of work published already)
Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon
and of course i always recommend looking up content warnings if you need to especially for the last few since i haven't read them myself and can't vouch for them just yet. but ummm hopefully you see something you like 😭 i'll stop yapping <3

Hi! I'm sorry if this has been asked before but when you call rohan's contacts to help you out, you get more interaction with other characters and the opportunity to develop your relationship with them. But it's not the same when calling scytha, which i understand why, but I was wondering if it is smth that is going to be balanced when the next update is out? Or that is the purpose of both routes. You call syctha, you can get back IVI. You call rohan's contact, you get to build relationships.
it's a bit of both, really - there won't be equivalent scenes on each route, and there will be things that you can only do on specific routes. I do still intend there to be a roughly even number of scenes per RO on each route, and you shouldn't be locked out of a romance simply because of your choices there, but ultimately, yes, there will be choices that give you more time with the ROs and choices that give you other benefits.
#sorry I recognise that this is a non answer#on the whole the routes should be fairly balanced and I don't intend to make either one of them prohibitive to the romance. however.#sometimes things will play out differently and that's just how it is#anon#hadea spoilers#kinda sorta

what did the operatives do before they joined scytha?
that's up to you, really - fine details like this, what age they signed up, etc, probably won't be choices in the game (and if I do put them in, I'll leave them vague)
#the operatives whole identity is very intentionally tied up with scytha and their time as an operative#who they were before doesn't matter to them really#anon
