I like to write about (mainly) queer characters going through strange and twisted things! I hope my stories help remind others that there's always meaning in life and you are never alone. ✨ Creator of Perchance to Dream (VN) https://linktr.ee/moribundt

A vintage postcard of an off-white color depicting a black cat walking on two legs with a red umbrella and a flowery red suitcase in its paws. The text reads "I don't know where I'm going but I'm gay" The cat has a sort of blank expression on its face as it walks towards an unknown destination to the right which is part of its charm. There is a bit of musical score on the top left and on the top right is a sign that says "From" with a hand pointing off to the right.

🙄 On top of everything now have to worry that my games are "unfit" to be hosted by a website and nuked from the internet because someone in Australia clutched their pearls. Something something capitalism censoring "adult" content but somehow just hurts sex workers, queer people, and survivors. 😒

Today I saw Perchance to Dream passed 100 downloads!!! I couldn't be prouder of this project and more thankful to everyone who has given it a chance. 💓 I know I still have many things left to do and many things left to learn- the journey is far from over! 💪 #indiegame #gamedev #visualnovel

This is Patient D! He doesn't really like labels, but pansexual would fit him best. He had a great support system and always felt secure in his identity.

Sorry I've just been on Cloud 9 all day. I already have to "mask" so much at work. So much of my art is informed by my politics, so why hide them? I've never been ashamed to be a Socialist. Just often very sad and tired. But NOT TODAY!! ✨✨✨ SOCIALIST NYC!! We're gonna be the beacon on the hill!!!! ☀️

For the first time in years I feel hopeful about electoral politics. For the first time in my life I got to vote for someone who aligns with my ideology. So proud of the city I've chosen to call home & my fellow devotees who pulled off a miracle! This win was ours!! 🔥💓💪 Brighter future ahead!!!

This is Patient C! He's trans, and being able to write his storyline which touches on very specific transmasculine issues meant a lot.

This is the protagonist, Z! He starts out identifying as bi but there are routes where he becomes more comfortable identifying as pan so I included both. 😊

FOUR...it's rather number fascinating, isn't it? Visually asymmetrical, but representative of a perfect state of equilibrium. Hmm... okay, I'll allow it. 😤🐉
