Thnks Fr Th Mmrs/Official Goodbye Post

Well this was clearly going to happen eventually after retirement but I think it's for the best that I finally step away from this blog.

First things first, I want to thank everyone who supported me throughout the years. I started this blog in the middle of 2020 and all of you who supported me helped me get through some tough times, including the death of a family member. For a while, this blog was tons of fun. Ideas and words were flowing onto pages and the creative spark was immensely satisfying. Seeing people enjoy my own niche but vanilla works helped me feel good about my writing.

Like I said, this blog was a lot of fun. Until it wasn't. The pressure to perform, the idea that each piece had to be better than the one before it, even if nobody expected that. The growing "meta" of the community with certain idols becoming "mainstream". While I never tried to focus too much on notes, it did quickly get demoralizing to see pieces I poured countless hours of work into get less notes than some random pieces just because the idol I chose was less popular. It wasn't even really about the notes, it was about wanting to feel like the work I put in was acknowledged. Even though I shouldn't have let it affect me, as someone who always struggled with acknowledgement of others, it was tough on me. Eventually it felt like more and more of a chore to write because why bother if I'm not going to be acknowledged for my effort anyway?

This combined with drama from other writers (since this is goodbye post I don't feel bad about airing the dirty laundry, Peach you're still a bitch whose fragile ego couldn't take the same trash talk you dished to countless other people) and the community shifting to younger and younger idols to the point that I felt massively uncomfortable just communicating with some of the other writers in this circle of the internet, killed the spark I had for this hobby.

So I decided to retire. I flirted with a comeback every once in awhile, tried to finish at least a few of the multitude of partial drafts I had started to varying degrees over the years. But despite all of these efforts, I found that my love for this community truly died. But I still held onto to whatever vague attachments I had to this blog and tried to transform it into a random space to geek about my various hobbies since this was the biggest platform I've ever achieved while also messaging the few writers I still talked to. But as more and more of those writers also disappeared, it's time for me to accept that it's time to say goodbye.

Over the past few months I've been taking big steps to get my life into a place I want it to be and I think a big part of that now also involves laying this blog to rest. It's not fair to you guys who are still here expecting some type of possible comeback, and it's not fair to me to hold onto these feelings that at this point can only be reduced to nostalgia. While my catalog might not be as long or extensive as some of the other writers in the community, I'm still pretty proud of the work I put out for the most part.

If by any chance anyone still even reads any of my works, don't worry. The blog itself isn't going anywhere, I'm not deleting it. It'll stay here for a good long time. It just won't be a place I visit anymore.

Even though most of the following people are now gone, I want to take this time to thank some of the most influential people behind my time on this blog.

First, huge thanks once again to the amazing @lockefanfic and @sinsatmidnight. I've said it a million times but you two were the whole reason I started writing in the first place. You helped me onto this amazing journey and I'll always appreciate you for it.

@ggidolsmuts, @cataboliac, @themanthemyththeverite, you guys were some of my best friends in this community and I appreciate everything you all did for me. I love you guys.

A special shoutout to @kingmaker-a, you were my biggest fan and you were a huge reason why I kept going for a while. My last couple of pieces are definitely out because of your support.

A giant thank you to the 9,500ish who were here over the years. While I never quite got to 10k followers or hit 1k notes, the fact that there's still so many of you here never ceased to amaze me, especially since I never expected to get 100 followers, let alone almost 100 times that. Truly amazing and you all hold a special place in my heart.

And finally, to quote a manga I enjoy, "if you liked my work I'm happy, and if you didn't, I'm sorry but I can't do shit about that."

I'll stay on for a little bit to answer any potential farewell asks but I don't know how long that will last.

Thnks Fr Th Mmrs and keep on rocking!

Yandere Mina x Yandere Kazuha X male reader? The ballet princess the two black swans with white swan personas make the reader breathe their suffocating love?

His Innocence

YANDERE MINA & KAZUHA X MALE READER

The practice room echoed with the tortured notes of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Mina, the undisputed Black Swan Queen of Korean ballet, moved across the floor like a storm cloud, her every step infused with a dark grace. Her obsidian eyes, usually reserved for her most intense performances, were fixated on a single figure by the observation window.

Y/n. A new trainee, with limbs that resembled tangled marionette strings and a face etched with the awkwardness of an adolescent deer. Yet, it was this very awkwardness that held a strange allure for Mina. Perhaps it was the contrast to her own practiced perfection, the flicker of innocence in his eyes that mirrored the white swan Odette.

Just as Y/n tripped over his own two feet for the tenth time, the door swung open, revealing another vision in black – Kazuha. Her long, raven hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, her crimson lips a stark contrast to her pale skin. Her eyes, usually holding a cool indifference, blazed with a possessiveness that sent a shiver down Mina's spine.

"Pathetic," Kazuha drawled, her voice laced with disdain. "Is this what passes for 'talent' these days?"

Y/n flushed scarlet, mumbling an apology. Both Mina and Kazuha watched him, a silent competition sparking between them. They weren't just rivals on stage anymore; their gaze locked in a battle for this new, unpolished gem.

That night, Y/n couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. His phone buzzed with a text, the sender unknown. It contained a single image – a black swan feather, impossibly perfect, lying on a bed of blood-red roses. Sleep evaded him, the image a chilling premonition of what was to come.

Mina's approach was subtle. She slipped into his practice room after hours, the moonlight casting silver streaks on her lithe figure. "You have potential," she said, her voice a low murmur. "But you need discipline, the kind only the Black Swan can teach."

Her touch was firm, bordering on cruel, her voice a constant whisper of encouragement that felt more like a threat. She pushed him beyond his limits, forcing him to contort his untrained body into impossible positions. Each groan of pain she dismissed as a necessary sacrifice, a perverse baptism by fire.

The next day, Kazuha materialized in his dorm room, her perfectly painted nails tapping an eerie rhythm against the windowpane. "Tired of Mina's torture sessions?" she purred, her eyes gleaming with a devilish light. "I offer a different kind of training… one that awakens the darkness within."

Kazuha's sessions were more unorthodox. She took him to abandoned buildings, their decaying walls echoing with the rhythmic thud of his forced movements. Her movements were a dark ballet of sensuality and aggression, a seductive invitation laced with a hint of violence. She whispered promises of greatness, of unlocking the hidden darkness within him – a darkness that mirrored her own.

Y/n was caught in a terrifying ballet, his innocence withering under the relentless attention of the Black Swans. The nights were haunted by nightmares of feathers and blood, his days filled with a growing sense of paranoia. He couldn't escape their gaze, their possessiveness a suffocating shroud.

One night, as Y/n lay awake in his dorm room, a bloodcurdling scream pierced the silence. He found another trainee, a girl who dared to show him a shred of kindness, sprawled on the floor, unconscious, a single black feather clutched in her lifeless hand. A message, clear and chilling.

Fear propelled Y/n to the rooftop, the only place he felt a sliver of peace. There, bathed in the moonlight, were Mina and Kazuha. The tension between them was gone, replaced by a disturbing camaraderie.

"Trying to escape?" Mina said, her voice devoid of its usual coldness.

"We can offer you something better," Kazuha added, a cruel smile playing on her lips.

Y/n stumbled back, his mind reeling. He understood now. They weren't just rivals; they were partners in a twisted obsession. They saw him not as a dancer, but as their possession, their plaything.

"We can make you perfect," Mina said, her voice a seductive whisper. "Together."

A dark plan unfolded. They started slipping him strange concoctions, elixirs they claimed would unlock his hidden potential. The once vibrant world around him began to fade, replaced by a disturbing clarity when it came to the two dancers. He saw not just their beauty, but the darkness that simmered beneath the surface, a darkness that mirrored the growing desperation in his own heart.

Their training sessions morphed into something more sinister. Mirrors lined the walls, reflecting their every move, a twisted ballet of control and submission. His body, once clumsy and awkward, began to contort with an unnatural grace. The concoctions, a potent mix of herbs and rumored aphrodisiacs, fueled his stamina and blurred the lines between pain and pleasure. He found himself mimicking their movements, the raw passion in their eyes infecting him, turning his steps into a desperate plea for acceptance.

One night, after a particularly grueling session, Mina led him to a secluded part of the practice hall. The air hung heavy with the scent of incense and something metallic. She lit a circle of candles, their flickering flames casting long, dancing shadows on the walls.

"Tonight," Mina murmured, her voice laced with a dangerous sensuality, "we complete your transformation."

Kazuha materialized from the shadows, a wicked glint in her eyes. They held him down, chanting in a language he didn't understand. As they pressed a cold, obsidian amulet against his chest, a searing pain ripped through him. He screamed, the sound echoing through the empty building, but no one came.

When the pain subsided, he felt different. Stronger, sharper. He could move with an unnatural fluidity, mirroring the Black Swans' movements with a terrifying precision. But something else had changed – his eyes, once filled with fear, now held a flicker of the same darkness that consumed Mina and Kazuha.

The Black Swan ballet was no longer a dream. It was a nightmare they were weaving around him, a performance fueled by obsession and a twisted sense of love. They had broken him, molded him into their perfect partner, a dark reflection of their own twisted desires.

Their debut performance was a masterpiece of macabre beauty. The audience gasped as Y/n moved in perfect harmony with the Black Swans, his every step imbued with a terrifying grace. But beneath the surface, a silent war raged. They fought for dominance, each vying for control of his body, his mind.

The final act was a chilling display of possession. As the music reached its crescendo, Y/n, his eyes blazing with a dark fire, reached out and grabbed both Mina and Kazuha. In a move that defied gravity, he lifted them high, their screams echoing through the auditorium. The audience, mesmerized by the spectacle, didn't realize the horror unfolding before their eyes.

With a single, brutal movement, Y/n slammed them together. A collective gasp filled the air as they crumpled to the floor, their perfect black swan costumes stained crimson. Silence descended, broken only by the ragged gasps of the fallen idols.

Y/n stood alone, bathed in the spotlight, the image of a perfect Black Swan marred by the blood on his hands. A chilling smile played on his lips. He had been their plaything, their possession. But in the end, it was they who belonged to him, forever bound together in a dance of madness and death.

The Black Swan ballet had concluded with a final, horrifying twist. It was a performance that would forever be etched in the memory of the audience, a chilling reminder of the dark price of obsession and the terrifying beauty of madness.

The stage lights dimmed, plunging the auditorium into darkness. The deafening silence was a stark contrast to the thunderous applause that had just moments ago celebrated the "Black Swan's Demise." But on the stage, another kind of performance was just beginning.

Y/n, his eyes still glowing with a feral intensity, looked down at the fallen idols. Mina, pale and broken, held Kazuha's hand, a silent communication passing between them. It wasn't defeat Y/n saw in their eyes, but something else – a chilling acceptance.

A cold whisper drifted past his ear. "You did well, Y/n," Mina rasped, her voice laced with pain and a perverse pride. "You broke free, just like we wanted."

Kazuha, her crimson lips stained with blood, mirrored the sentiment. "But remember, darling," she purred, her voice a seductive rasp, "Freedom comes at a cost."

Y/n felt a strange tremor within him, a flicker of his old self battling against the darkness that consumed him. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He was a puppet on their twisted strings now, their concoctions and dark rituals having completed his transformation.

The grand practice hall of their opulent mansion became their new stage. It echoed not just with the strains of Tchaikovsky, but with their moans and gasps as they pushed Y/n further, his body now a canvas for their desires.

Night after night, the dance of possession continued. Mina, with her cold, calculated control, molded him into a flawless mirror of the Black Swan's grace, while Kazuha, fueled by a fiery passion, ignited a darkness within him that mirrored her own.

He no longer dreamed of escape. His mind, fractured and twisted, found a warped sense of belonging in their macabre embrace. Every night, he was pushed beyond his limits, his exhaustion a twisted aphrodisiac that fueled their insatiable desire.

The Black Swans, once legendary idols, had become something more monstrous. They were sculptors, molding him into their perfect creation, their unwilling lover and eternal dance partner. Theirs was a love story written in blood and sweat, a chilling symphony of obsession that reverberated through the walls of their opulent prison, a testament to the destructive power of a love that was anything but pure.

And as the sun peeked over the horizon, casting its pale light on the tangled limbs and exhausted bodies on the practice floor, Y/n knew with a chilling certainty – this was his forever. A distorted reflection of the Black Swan Queen, forever bound to his captors, forever theirs to claim in their never-ending dance of madness.

New Update: STABH Chapter 4

"I didn't realize you care…" "Why wouldn't I be?” says Charlie, genuinely confused. “It's you."

DEMO ✶ MASTERPOST

Hey guys, chapter 4 is out! ✨ This might be my favorite chapter as of yet hehe (then again, any chapter is my favorite once I write them…)

In this update, I have added MC customization, which is a thing I didn’t think I would include. But then I saw the opportunity and was like, oh well why not, wouldn’t hurt 🤷‍♀️ And it inspired me some new scenes that I really like!

Chapter 4 follows the aftermath of a certain revelation in chapter 3, along with some good ol’ high school drama as the cherry on top. Hope you enjoy! ✨

Thank you for your patience and support as always: I hope you all are having a great May, and I'll be back very soon! ☀️😎

So my apologies for not posting any actual advice recently. Between school and a recent PNES diagnosis I've been trying to take things slow (mostly by doing a deep dive on Majora's Mask). It's surprisingly hard to give advice when you're not feeling well.

And today (May 13th) is Captain Ahab's birthday! He is 2 years old now. I tried to do a quick photoshoot with him and my Ganondorf Amiibo, as a thanks to the people who saved his life (you guys) but he kept trying to bite kiss him, so I didn't get any good pictures.

Hopefully I can get back to regular advice posting after I've finished this semester ^°^

To begin with, I live in Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, our state has suffered a catastrophe where the ENTIRE state suffered from floods, people without homes, people and animals who lost their lives, it's horrible. There has been no water in my city for 1 week (I'm supposed to go back this week, but the place where our water treatment is located is flooding again), this part of my city that is flooding is where my father's and my sister's workplace are, and also where I work, my work is remote, I don't know when I'll be able to go back to work, I didn't want to ask, but the bills won't stop and I don't know if I'll have money to help my parents, who are also in limit, if you have the opportunity to help me with even 1 cent I would really appreciate it, luckily I had some money saved from my birthday which is exactly what will be used to maintain my computer, when it arrives I will continue posting content for you, I have a lot of projects to post, I post because I like it and it's something that has brought me a lot of comfort in this difficult time, having your support is also incredible, I have a big project for the 1000 followers that I'm almost reaching. Anyway, if you can help me, even if it's for the smallest amount, here's my Ko-Fi, if you're from Brazil and use pix, it's my email ([email protected])

I AM NOT CHARGING TO CONVERT, EVERYTHING WILL CONTINUE FOR FREE AS IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN

I Care. Comic update.

okay so here's the scoop. I didn't like how chapter 5 as a whole felt. It felt rushed and forced at some points.

So I'm redoing the whole chapter from scratch. Even though I had all the sketches done already. So it's gonna take me a bit longer to finish it. Sorwy!

Iu x taeyeon and male reader pls

The Recording Studio

IU X TAEYEON X MALE READER

GENRE : SMUT, SLIGHT SMUT, A BIT OF YANDERE

The fairy lights strung across the recording studio cast a whimsical glow on the room, but the atmosphere was anything but light. IU, perched on a plush stool, pouted at Y/n, her flawless features marred by a frown. Taeyeon, sprawled on the couch, mirrored the pout, a playful glint warring with a flicker of possessiveness in her eyes.

"This melody feels… lost," IU whined, kicking her legs listlessly. "It needs your touch, Y/n."

Her voice, usually a saccharine delight for fans, held a husky undercurrent that sent a jolt through Y/n. He met her gaze, captivated by the unspoken challenge shimmering in its depths.

"Maybe it needs a little more… fire," Taeyeon countered, her voice dripping with playful seduction as she leaned closer to the microphone. "Like the kind you brought to my last single, remember?"

The comment hung in the air, a thinly veiled jab at IU's usually innocent persona. Y/n fought back a smile. The competition was fierce, every suggestion, every shared glance, a desperate attempt to win his favor.

Days bled into weeks, the recording studio transforming into a battleground of whispered compliments and suggestive touches. IU would linger after sessions, humming the melody with a breathiness that sent shivers down his spine. Taeyeon, the confident seductress, would rewrite lyrics, her fingers brushing against his arm, lingering a beat too long.

The sexual tension crackled through the studio, a potent undercurrent to their creative collaboration. Yn, initially flattered by their attention, found himself increasingly entangled in their web.

One particularly grueling night, after countless revisions and a growing tension that choked the air, Yn slammed his laptop shut.

"Alright, ladies," he sighed, exhaustion etched on his features. "Maybe we need a fresh perspective."

Silence descended, thick and heavy. He caught their exchanged glances, a silent conversation passing between them.

"Let's call it a night," IU finally said, her voice devoid of its usual playful lilt.

They retreated to the rooftop patio, the cityscape shimmering below like a fallen galaxy. The comfortable silence stretched thin, a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing within them.

"Yn," Taeyeon finally spoke, her voice laced with a vulnerability that surprised him. "This… isn't working, isn't it?"

Yn looked at her, then at IU, who stood gazing out at the city, a storm brewing in her eyes. "It's… complicated," he confessed, his voice strained.

"Complicated?" IU scoffed, whirling around to face them. "Or are we just pretending this isn't some twisted fantasy we've all gotten lost in?"

The truth, harsh and undeniable, hung in the air. Their desire for him had become a dangerous game, fueled by possessiveness and a competition that threatened their friendship and their careers.

Yn felt a wave of guilt wash over him. He never intended for this to happen.

"We can't keep doing this," he said, his voice low. "It's… unhealthy."

A heavy silence descended, broken only by the distant hum of the city.

Then, to Yn's surprise, it was IU who spoke. The anger in her eyes had softened, replaced by a quiet understanding.

"You're right," she admitted, her voice barely a whisper. "We can't keep fighting over you like some prize."

Taeyeon stepped forward, her gaze locking with IU's. A silent conversation passed between them, a newfound understanding replacing the animosity.

"But maybe," Taeyeon finally said, her voice husky, "there's another way."

Yn's heart hammered against his ribs. He wasn't sure what she was suggesting, but a sliver of hope flickered within him.

"What do you mean?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper.

IU took a step forward, her eyes searching his. "Maybe… we could share you."

The suggestion hung in the air, a scandalous proposition that sent a jolt through Yn. The idea was as crazy as it was exhilarating.

"Share me?" he echoed, his voice stunned.

Taeyeon, a mischievous glint in her eyes, stepped closer. "Think about it, Yn. We could give you an experience no one else could."

IU's lips quirked up into a small smile. "An experience that would blow the charts wide open," she added, a playful glint in her eyes.

Yn felt a slow smile spread across his face. The tension that had been suffocating them began to ease, replaced by a delicious thrill. Perhaps, just perhaps, there could be a way for them to have it all.

The kiss that followed was electric. It started with a hesitant brush of lips, a testing of boundaries. IU, ever the innocent idol in the public eye, surprised Yn with the raw passion that exploded as their lips met. Her touch was a whirlwind; soft yet insistent, a plea wrapped in a demand.

Taeyeon, observing from a step back, watched with a possessiveness that morphed into a reluctant fascination. As the kiss deepened, a low growl rumbled from Yn's throat, his hands finding purchase on IU's hips, pulling her flush against him.

A single tear escaped the corner of IU's eye, a tear of desire and a hint of fear. The innocent image she cultivated crumbled under the intensity of their shared need.

Yn felt a pang of guilt at the tear, but it was quickly overshadowed by the heat burning in his veins. He pulled away from IU, his breath ragged.

"Easy," Taeyeon murmured, stepping forward and placing a hand on his chest. Her touch was cool and calming, a stark contrast to the firestorm ignited by IU.

Yn looked at her, his mind a whirlwind. This was madness, a forbidden dance they were weaving. Yet, the thought of letting either of them go was unbearable.

"We can do this," Taeyeon said, her voice a low murmur. "We can make it work."

Her words were laced with a quiet confidence, a promise that sent shivers down his spine. He looked at IU, searching for confirmation. Her gaze met his, her fear replaced by a fierce determination.

"Yes," IU rasped, her voice thick with desire. "We can make you a melody unlike any other."

The night air crackled with unspoken desires. The rooftop, once a place of contemplation, became a stage for their forbidden passion. They shed their carefully constructed personas, revealing raw emotions and a hunger that could no longer be contained.

Taeyeon's touch was different, a slow, deliberate caress that sent shivers down his spine. Her lips trailed down his neck, sending a jolt of electricity sparking through him. IU, bolder now, unbuttoned his shirt, her fingers tracing the planes of his chest, igniting a fire deep within him.

Their kisses were a symphony of need and exploration. Three bodies intertwined, a tangle of limbs and whispered promises. The line between competition and collaboration blurred, replaced by a shared surrender to the intoxicating reality of being together.

As the night wore on, inhibitions fell away like discarded clothes. They explored each other's bodies with a newfound reverence, a shared understanding blooming amidst the passion. It wasn't just about physical pleasure; it was a forging of intimacy, a delicate dance of trust and desire.

With the first rays of dawn painting the sky a delicate pink, they collapsed onto the cool rooftop, breathless and exhilarated. The forbidden taste of their love lingered on their lips, a secret melody only they could hear.

They knew this path wouldn't be easy. The world they lived in wouldn't accept their unconventional love. But as they lay there, entangled in the aftermath of their passion, they knew they were stronger together.

They had traded competition for collaboration, creating a melody of love that resonated far deeper than any song they could ever write. As the first rays of dawn painted the sky, a comfortable silence settled over them. The rooftop, once a battlefield of competition, was now a haven for their forbidden love. They lay entangled, a tangle of limbs and whispered promises.

But amidst the euphoria, a possessiveness flickered in their eyes.

"Yn," IU murmured, tracing a finger across his chest. "This changes everything, doesn't it?"

"Everything," Taeyeon confirmed, her voice a low purr.

Yn, still dazed from the intensity of their shared pleasure, nodded. Their love was a melody he would never forget, a composition only they could perform.

"From now on," IU continued, her voice laced with a newfound possessiveness, "you only write for us. No more composing for other cute girl groups, okay?"

Taeyeon squeezed his hand, her grip a little tighter than necessary. "We're your muses now, Yn. The only inspiration you'll ever need."

A shiver ran down his spine. The playful competition of the past had morphed into something deeper, more possessive. He knew they wouldn't tolerate sharing him with anyone, artistically or romantically.

A part of him, the rational part, balked at their demands. But another part, the part awakened by their intoxicating touch, couldn't help but be enthralled by their yandere possessiveness.

"Alright," he finally whispered, his voice husky with unspoken desires. "You got me."

He knew he was walking a tightrope, but the melody they had created together was too intoxicating to resist. He would be their muse, their prisoner, their forbidden love song. The world might never know their secret symphony, but in the quiet corners of the studio, and under the cloak of night, their love would continue to burn, a melody of passion and possessiveness that would forever bind them together.

Version patch 1.2.0 is out now on Steam! This is accompanied by a hefty sale, 35% off until May 27th! Other storefronts and platforms will follow in due time, we ask for your patience! Artwork in the image above by @teoft. Go give them a follow! Read the patch notes for this release after the break!

WHAT'S NEW?!

Version 1.2.0 introduces new Game Modifiers, that allow you to spice up the game, and provide additional challenge! When starting a new save (or New Game+), after choosing which difficulty mode you want to play on, you can choose up to five modifiers to enable. These modifiers were made based on some player suggestions or feedback.

The modifiers are as follows:

MASTER LEVELS: Remixes the game's levels to provide more challenge for those who have mastered the game's movement.

RUDE ENEMIES: Changes up enemy and boss behavior to make them all, well, ruder. If this is picked in tandem with Hard Mode, bosses have more health.

DOUBLE HAZARDS: Makes the game's hazards (spikes, lava, crushing) deal double damage. Ouch.

SINGLE CREDIT: Levels need to be beaten in a single go from start, and no restarting from checkpoints via the Pause Menu. Death sends you to the Guardian Corps HQ (or beginning of level if you haven't reached that far yet). Can not be enabled with Iron Circuit.

IRON CIRCUIT: No saves until the game has been cleared, and no restarting from checkpoints via the Pause Menu. Death sends you to title screen. Can not be enabled with Single Credit.

FLIP WORLD: Walk on... Ceilings? Who's the joker that asked for this? (Note: doesn't necessarily flip everything)

Game Modifiers become available upon completing the game on any difficulty, or by inputting the following code on File Select screen: LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, BURST! A legend has it that if you beat the game with any of these modifiers enabled (or when "Everyone is There"), you might even see something little extra? Only one way to find out! ...Just make sure Speedrun Mode is disabled!

Of course, this is not all. Below is a list of other things that have been added, tweaked or fixed!

QUALITY OF LIFE ADDITIONS

Added a checkpoint menu in the mission select screen. This allows you to warp to checkpoint in a previously cleared level, as well as toggle any in-level cutscenes to play again (like boss confrontation dialogues). Mission rewards and certain challenges are disabled if this feature is used.

Added an extra toggle in the game's settings, which determines if speedrun mode is enabled by default or not when starting a new save file. If the setting is set to "default", speedrun mode is enabled by default when accessing file select screen. Otherwise, it's off. However, even if the setting is set to "off" or "default", you can manually toggle speedrun mode on/off on the file select screen, like you have been able to do up to this point. The intention is to remove any confusion caused by some players wanting to have the on-screen timer on during normal play (which determined if the speedrun mode was toggled on/off when launching the game).

Added an additional setting for enabling an aiming arrow that appears around Kai, which can help with aiming the hookshot during platforming sections or similar. There are three different settings for its behavior. The aiming arrow is disabled by default.

Added a toggle for adjusting double tap tolerance.

Mission Complete screen now shows the target values for max rank in relevant categories in square brackets (clear time, enemies defeated, damage taken). Rescues, if available for the level, are displayed with the icons as usual.

GAMEPLAY CHANGES/TWEAKS

Made it possible to cancel to divekick (down+attack while mid-air) from air jab (attack while mid-air).

Made it possible to gain sprint speed if the run button is held down, or "inverse" run button behavior is in use, when exiting quick warp portals in cyberspace (Warehouse Area).

Similar to above, certain aerial Armor Paint abilities are refreshed when exiting a quick warp portal.

If Loadout Swap button is assigned to the same button as Accept or Cancel, the Accept and Cancel buttons override the Loadout Swap button on the pause screen (ex: when exiting out of the pause menu with Cancel, the game won't do double input by closing the pause menu, and also swapping loadouts).

Fixed an issue where pressing attack after a wall jump might lock you out, and prevent you from moving back towards the wall. The game was simply treating like you were still in wall jumping state, and as such was applying some forces onto you.

Fixed an issue where crumbling blocks (Ore Mines) may sometimes block the hookshot from going through them when they've been crumbled.

Retracting metal spike blocks (final level) have had their hittable boxes increased in size, making them easier to clear out.

Fixed an issue where Kai did not gain sprint speed if he jumps out of a crouch while run button is held, by releasing the down button roughly on the same frame as the jump input is detected.

BURST TECHNIQUES

Burst Spark's hitbox has been increased to hit a larger area. Does damage ticks slightly faster, duration slightly shorter. Essentially you're stuck in place for a shorter duration (overall duration reduced by ~25 frames, or ~0.42 seconds).

Support Platform has been buffed. Creates three platforms to cover a wider area, the platforms take few frames longer to start falling, side platforms do slightly less damage than the main one. You can still perform the original version by holding the Burst button during the startup.

Cycle Kick can now be cancelled with a jump or hookshot at any point. Can gain sprint speed out of it if run button is held down.

ARMOR PAINTS

Hot-headed Red Armor Paint's Float Beam now does its damage ticks faster. How it affects boss invulnerability times has been adjusted.

Heavy Orange Armor Paint now grants a slight damage boost for hookshot on top of its other effects.

Scheming Pink Armor Paint can now be set to activate by pressing and holding jump while holding up, or double tapping jump while holding up. The setting can be found in the controls menu. Shop description changes to match the selected setting.

Fixed an issue where the "powered up" state of certain Burst Techniques (Heavenly Piledrive, Surface Render, Catch Interrupt) were not handled correctly if they whiffed, or Kai got struck by hazards, when using the ability of a certain Armor Paint. Similar fix was applied for Powered Walker's Self-Destruct ability (Ore Mines).

ENEMIES

Contact damage has been removed from Flip Panel Turret enemies (City Center).

Crystal Floater enemies' contact damage has been removed (Cyberspace).

Fixed an edge-case game crash involving the Battie enemies. It was unlikely to happen, but there was some potential for it.

Fixed an issue where the Virus Zombie and Turret Zombie enemies had their usual behavior code running when they were grabbed by the player (normally, any normal behavior is paused on grabbed objects). This led to some weird interactions at times.

BOSSES

Trace's (Patch Circuit) Burst Technique can now hit her own minions. This is so to prevent situations where her minions might cause undodgeable damage.

Fixed an issue with Ray (Optic Circuit), where after a certain action he always jumped towards the wrong direction from what was intended.

Fixed an issue where Crash (Break Circuit), in rare circumstances, might wind up defeating themselves due to some of the larger falling blocks.

Fixed a minor visual error where certain bosses' mugshots in their lifebars got mirrored on the horizontal axis during their Burst Technique activations.

Fixed Crash's (Break Circuit) mugshot to have a "weak flinch" animation during his boss fight. He can now properly feel pain.

And a few [SPOILER] worthy changes...

[SPOILER] Fixed a phantom hitbox from one of the later game bosses, where they grabbed an object off of the floor, and threw it. During this throwing animation, the boss would have a hitbox beneath them for one frame, that could hit the player if the boss jumped before the throw.

[SPOILER] During the Final Battle, if you have gotten to a certain phase, the transition to the next happens much faster. This behavior happens by default on Speedrun Mode. If you hold down the run button before the transition were to occur, the transition plays normally without any skips.

[SPOILER] During Final Battle, if you have gotten to a certain phase, on subsequent attempts the game will drop little health before the transition described above occurs. You know you'll be receiving the health drop if your opponent is different color from before. This behavior only occurs if you are playing on Easy or Normal Mode. Hard Mode won't see this extra drop. The intention for this change is to make the Final Battle little easier for first time players, by giving them a little token of encouragement on subsequent attempts at the final portions of the game, while retaining the challenge of clearing the encounter in one go the same as before.

LEVEL ADJUSTMENTS

Adjusted the clear time goal for the main eight levels from 5min45s to flat 6 minutes for max rank.

The final level in the game has had its target clear time increased from 6 minutes to 7 minutes for max rank.

Adjusted the enemies killed goal count from 45 to 40 for the first two of final levels.

Adjusted certain enemy positions in a couple of levels to make them a bit less messy or rude.

In the Steelworks level, adjusted geometry to remove a single tile gap that was possible to squeeze into with Support Platform Burst Technique.

The final level of the game has had its level layouts slightly touched on the blue floor.

Am I hearing things in Cyberspace (Warehouse Area)?

Note: When playing levels with the Master Levels modifier (or Easy Mode), target clear times are increased by one minute. Playing with Rude Enemies modifier adds another extra minute. This is to account for the more difficult platforming, and giving players more leeway during boss fights if playing with self-imposed minimalist challenge in mind.

GENERAL BUG FIXES

Fixed Medley's (Wave Circuit, City Center) concert billboard's despawn and respawn radiuses, so it doesn't disappear if you weave back-and-forth between the screens.

Fixed a minor edge-case oversight in Warehouse Area, where in a certain portion of the level, you weren't able to drop from a ledge-grab-jab with the 'up' button, like you are supposed to. Had to press 'down', like you generally have to in all other instances.

Fixed a little oversight where during Bit's (Shift Circuit) Burst Technique, if you position yourself in certain ways, one or two of the screen slashes may not render because they're deemed "off-screen" based on their starting positions.

Fixed a scenario where if Kai is using a certain Armor Paint to carry an object, and Kai then picks an end-of-level item, releasing the hookshot button to throw the object may softlock the game entirely.

Fixed an issue where if Hardware Barrier Burst Technique was active at the same time as Emergency Accumulator Booster Chip, taking a hit would trigger both at once.

Changed the order in which certain damage calculations are applied, to fix an issue with Underflow Guard (Booster Chip). Underflow Guard is supposed to prevent you from going below 1 health if you had 2 or more, but if Function Overload (Burst Technique) is active, the damage becomes fatal anyway (because Function Overload multiplied the incoming damage after Underflow Guard's reduction by 1.2, and rounded up, meaning at low enough health any damage would bypass Underflow Guard).

Fixed an oversight where if player took damage from hazards (spikes, lava, crushing), this was not reflected in the damage number reported on the Mission Complete screen.

Fixed an oversight where when Kai grabs a stunned (gray blinking) enemy he is standing next to, the enemy may become overkilled (red blinking) from the grab action itself. This means that upon throwing the grabbed enemy it would not do any damage to other objects, due to overkilled enemies becoming intangible.

LOCALIZATION

Fixed one minor color tag issue in some dialogue in Japanese localization.

Fixed some missing text strings in Chinese (traditional) localization.

Fixed some text overflow issues in a text box in Chinese localizations.

MISC

Applied a fix that should prevent any flickering issues while streaming the game through Discord.

Wrote additional code to better ensure that, if in the event that the file that locally tracks player's challenges progress (ie. "Pat's Challenges") has through whatever means become corrupted, the game treats that as though starting from scratch. This prevents the game from crashing during startup.

Made the game crash screen little more readable with a darker blue background, as well as deploying an additional support Pat for your comfort (PC versions only).

Improved the code efficiency of various objects (ex: gray breakable crates, explosive barrels, goop dispensers, and several others). These changes help with general performance on lower-end hardware.

...And maybe some few smaller things. This has been a big patch (bigger than we anticipated), so might have forgotten to list a thing or two!
