It still needs support to stay online. More information: aarinfantasy.com/forum/f12/t1...

Me: It’s National Book Lovers Day!

Them: ‘Kay, but are you really reading BL in the office??

Me: They’re lovers. And they’re in a book.

Japan makes so many good films, and sadly most of the live action ones are completely non-viable in the English market. Which means that this platform is absolutely priceless.

What a lovely collection!

I've brought this up in interviews I've done with queer adult game devs

There are no safe spaces for queer games in general as long as payment providers/banks get to set the terms of our existence

This is the right-wing playbook. Get queer lives declared porn, then outlaw queer people

I hate this

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

Ah, I was waiting for this! Citrus Con has uploaded several videos from the latest convention. I wasn't able to attend every panel, but knew that some of them would be put on YouTube afterwards!

DRAMAtical Murder did introduce me to GOATBED and I really love the music in that game, but then I started to listen to their older and newer work. There is a lot of good music created by them!

It is a song by the Japanese music unit GOATBED. 😁
(if you know DRAMAtical Murder, you should be familiar with GOATBED's music)

Two columns of panels from the webcomic Into the Smoke are shown. Text above the first column reads, "Blaze flirting with the living." Below it, Blaze is shown standing face to face with a tall, handsome man in a grocery store. Then, blushing and smiling awkwardly, he holds up a food container and says, "Oh, uh... Did you want..." The container label says "Tofu," along with the words "extra firm" and an arrow pointing downward. Text above the second column reads, "Blaze flirting with the dead." Below it, Blaze is shown standing in front of the same man, who's now a ghost. Blaze stares down at him with a sultry smirk, his shirt open past his ribs, and he toys with the ends of his long red hair. The ghost says, “You’re kidding me. Tofu guy.” Blaze leans in with a coy, confident smile and says, “If you wanted to get in bed with me so bad, you could’ve just asked at the grocery store.”

Dead people are just less complicated, okay? 👻

Into the Smoke is my webcomic about a gay medium who loves his ghosts a little too much. It updates in big chunks every other Wednesday!

Yessss, do it! :D

So... I started to rewatch Sekaiichi Hatsukoi for the fourth (?) time! During stressful moments, I tend to go back to series that bring me comfort while I resolve the situation I am in. It has been a busy month, and I just simply longed for another round of Sekaiichi Hatsukoi! #BoysLove

Good luck, good luck!

Checking up the Citrus Con Discord server and seeing that it is still active, it warms my heart!

I can't wait for the next edition! What was your favourite #CitrusCon2025 activity/panel?
