hi ★彡

okay but I Really hope iswm wins an emmy not just bc obviously I love it and it’s amazing and deserves to win, but also for the sheer hilarity of mark being an emmy-winning youtuber and also the guy who made an onlyfans for charity and to get people to see his documentary about his mom

😭😭 CAN I JUST SAY i can't believe i spent most of yesterday drawing him in soft pastel colors looking all sweet while this dirty mf was about to drop the news of him and H doing onlyfans on us >:((

So I'm legitimately getting back into things now, and I'm pretty excited ! I ended up having some more stuff happen that put me in a dark place for a while, but I am finished being in that place !! And ready to show the internet my naked body !!

Considering Donation Platforms

So with the demo out and the next lead well on its way, I've been thinking a lot about the future of this project and about how to dedicate more of my time to it. The honest truth is, I am a full time student and part time worker and it's difficult maintaining all three at the same time. I want to be as consistent with this game as possible, but I also don't want to sacrifice my marks, and I frankly can't afford to take fewer shifts at work right now.

The solution to this is pretty obvious- starting a Patreon or Ko-fi would allow me to make a bit of extra cash while working on the game, if I'm able to build it up enough. Obviously this is not right around the corner, as I'd like to have a bit of extra content built up by the time I launch either of those, and my primary focus right now is the main game. But I want to talk about those, which platform people generally prefer, and what kind of extra content people are interested in seeing.

Patreon has higher fees and is geared towards long term memberships. I'd be able to offer patrons early access to new updates (which will hopefully be relatively frequent, as progress during development has been pretty fast) and access to a back catalogue of art and side stories. It would also mean I could share NSFW content, like explicit stories or nude pinups, which is a bonus cause I know y'all nasty. But the biggest thing I'm excited for would be offering polls to decide what is worked on next. Because the game will be updated lead-by-lead, that means patrons would be able to directly decide what they see in early access that month.

Ko-fi has lower fees and more breadth of services, so I could use the same platform to offer commissions, sell side stories, and offer memberships for early access. However, Ko-fi doesn't allow explicit sexual content, so no sexy pinups and no sexy stories. Sorry nasty people. And since traditional romance won't exactly be the focus of the game, commissioned writing probably wouldn't be as interesting of an offer for you folks anyway. No polls, either. But the big benefit is that people may be more willing to pay a one time fee to purchase something rather than becoming a patron for a longer period of time.

Yes, I can set up both- but if I'm making content for Patreon, Ko-fi would just be a tip jar for people who don't want to use itch.io! I'm specifically thinking about which platform I want to offer content through.

I originall had a little google form here, but y'know what? I'm probably better off just doing a quick poll.

tumblr live is like. the Most i've seen every user on a website agree unanimously with a decision this bad. last time ive seen tumblr this mad at a new feature was tumblr+, and even then it like. it really never took off?? it kind of did, but i think the same amount of people that use tumblr live also used tumblr+ before (maybe even less)

manifesting even more kind generous and horny feeders cross my path. I will be treated like a princess by current feeders and future feeders I’m manifesting it and it will happen

wish it was easier to just like, know what you want to do in life. what do you mean i have to go through a whole self-discovery journey just to get a job in this capitalist hellscape. is it not enough to just exist.

iDubbz: I apologize for my past content, including but not limited to where I encouraged people to use the N-word and other slurs frequently and freely - Charlie (for some reason): You shouldn’t have to apologize for that. In fact apologizing is spitting in the face of your viewers that loved that content and that makes you a bad person. - ???

I talked about it before, but I was in high school when the idubbz slur era was at his peak. He basically gave a pass to edgy high school boys to say the n word freely, I personally saw this. My friend's annoying ass cousins were idubbz fans and started saying the n word every other sentence after the tana mongeau drama happened. I really fucking hated his "all or nothing" idea when it came to slurs. His catch phrase was literally "(n word) faggot" and he said that to people to get a rise out of them on purpose. He did this for years until youtube started demonizing him. His apology was honestly far too late, 5 years too late, he made a whole generation of edgy teenagers who didn't understand nuisance; not that there was nuisance, they were fucking slurs. People with underdeveloped brains aren't really thinking about "he's right, we should remove power from words" they just hear the funny youtuber say hey let's say slurs because it gets snowflakes angry

I think most normal people would go, yeah he shouldn't have done any of that. So when Charlie said he shouldn't have apologized, I lost what little respect I had for him. He seems like a people pleasing fence hopper to me, and I think his opinion was in the minority. Ian wasn't exactly making highbrow art pieces 😭 "spit in the face of fans" when Ian made decent at the time fancy callout videos of YouTubers everyone already hated. He stopped making them years ago, and most of his fans grew out of him. Of course Charlie doesn't care, he's not affected by these slurs. He couldn't even pretend to care and at least lied saying idubbz shouldn't have done that. Anyway I don't know how to end this penguinz0 just makes very low effort and lazy content idc I'm just annoyed that other youtubers keep mentioning him like he's some youtubing god

Finland and Norway sloppy make out session both of them in white and pink crop tops and sinfully short shorts and skirts. that’s all I’ve got today <3
