Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 319: Focused Arrow Strike

Keke swallowed the building lump in her throat as she observed the furlocke at a distance. She used a tree for cover while she watched it munch on a large piece of pink fruit that bore large, black thorns. Protracted black claws carved through the fruit with sharp tips, piercing the skin without meeting resistance as it weaved between the thorns. Dark eyes surveyed its surroundings while it ate, and its slender snout sniffed at the air. The creature was so much longer and larger than it had a...

August Behind the Scenes: The Games that Inspire Us

Happy end of August! We hope you've stayed cool and have created at least a few fun summer memories for 2025.

This month, we wanted to talk about the video games that have inspired us over the years as storytellers. Games are a unique medium, and we both feel very lucky to have grown up during a time when we started with the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) and the Sega Genesis, and now we can play massive, graphically intensive games with our friends at the touch of a button.

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 318: Stone Curse

Cailu did not sleep for the remainder of the evening. Kirti had entrusted him with a journal with a worn leather cover and her hastily scrawled dictations from Magni’s stone, and he pored over the entries again and again until the first rays of sunlight teetered over the horizon. 

Reason warred against every sentence. He wanted to believe that the records were from Kirti alone—that her claim to hearing stones was another piece of her crazed ravings, and this book was an extensi...

Of Trails and Snails | Chapter 10: Here Be Dragons

Two days later, Jack had a new vest, Skye’s armor was buffed and polished, and Mia was still talking about meeting the frogs when they boarded the turtle to Pomacea. The shell had independent ridges that rose and fell in black and yellow pyramids, then tapered off to a flat edge on the sides. The shape was to Jack’s relief—the ropes wouldn’t be needed this round.

Mia called this one “Humphrey.” Skye called it “Just a wood turtle.” A snailgirl with dark skin and braided h...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 317: Ankle Snare

Sam was positively jubilant with the thought of camping. It took immense effort not to skip down the halls and hum a merry tune. She couldn’t remember the last time she was out in the wilderness, where she could take in the smells and sounds of nature and truly hunt her own game, share stories around a campfire, and just let loose.

And Matt seems like just the kinda guy who’s fun to have around a campfire.

Being one of the Queen’s Own was an honor of the highest reg...

Beach Keke Full Res Art by Hokuya

We're super excited that Jack worked with Hokuya again! They're the same artist who brought us this gorgeous Ceres piece, and this time it's Keke!

Thank you, Jack! This is just the thing we needed to cool down in this heat.

As always, art is for personal use only :)

Jack Full Res Art by PaulDNG

This is still one of my favorite art pieces by Paul (and was the first that we did with him!).

Jack relaxing in a tavern. Probably gambling the rest of the Shells away. No problem.

Of Trails and Snails | Chapter 9: The Frog Prince

Jack waited at the Achantina for Mia to change while Skye tended to Slinky. He nursed a tankard of dew between both hands, wondering when he should order their meals. This time, it wasn’t for lack of funds that he needed to make the drink last, but due to exhaustion. If he drank too fast, one of the other girls was likely to notice. And a lot of them looked particularly eager to join him. One lascivious girl held the key to the blue room and wiggled it between her fingers when his gaze reac...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Chapter 316: Soul Exhale

I’d reached that point of tired where I swore that I was beginning to see things that weren’t there. Like Queen Nehalennia holding Ruyah.

But as I approached the throne and her long fingers ran through a sleeping kitten’s silver hair, I realized that I wasn’t hallucinating. Those sharp red nails were indeed stroking Ruyah’s scalp.

Why does she have my kid?

I stopped about five steps away from the stairs leading to the throne—it was about the same distanc...

Madeline Full Res Art by Maon

A huge thank you to Eragon for commissioning "I Am NOT a Catgirl!" and the artwork. Maon could not have cooked harder on this piece.

Make sure to read the story for context ;)

Everyone's a Catgirl! Side Quest: Celestia’s Reason

Celestia cradled her teacup while Janusz divulged the details regarding the recent dragon sightings. The last few months had proven to be some of the worst, with the creature devastating countless crops and devouring farm life. Half of Catania had been razed to the ground, the Knights of Sorentina were practically defunct, and the queen could not afford to send her [Crusader]s due to the ongoing Defiled threat in Nyarlothep.

“There is no one else,” Janusz insisted, wringing his hand...

Xariir x Jack SFW & NSFW Full Res Art by Aridan Black

We had these art pieces done a while ago and I've been so excited to share it with everyone. Now that the chapter it centers around is live, I can!

I love Xariir's design and how Aridan interpreted her. A huge thank you to Sky for sponsoring these artworks! Hooray for monstergirls!

Of Trails and Snails | Chapter 8: Grows on Trees

“Jack, it’s time to wake up,” Mia whispered, then kissed his forehead. “Let’s go home.”

Jack yawned and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. At some point, he’d fallen asleep against Mia’s shoulder, and she’d thrown one of the blankets she always carried in her pack over his lap. “How can you tell?”

“Scarlet told us.” She held up the completed dress and squealed. “Isn’t it beautiful?”

It was, but Jack couldn’t help but think of Xariir’s hip sas...

Of Trails and Snails | Chapter 7: Walking Into Spiderwebs (NSFW)

Even with Xariir sitting down, Jack’s head only came up to her waist. He wondered if he should sit or stand before settling on leaning against the nearby wall with his arms crossed over his chest. He still wasn’t sure where to look.

“You may sit if you wish.” Xariir maneuvered all eight of her legs to reposition herself to face him.

The thought of his head being even lower than it already was unnerved him. “I’m okay for now.” Maybe if he could find a boulder t...

Of Snails and Trails | Chapter 6: Silk Song

“Thank you.” There was a series of short squeaking noises, and then a gentle blue light illuminated the dark outline before them. As Jack’s eyes adjusted, he found a black widow the size of a golden retriever. It tapped two tiny arms in front of its mouth together and looked up at them with beady eyes. “This one hopes the new light is sufficient.”

Jack looked around. The light glowed around the web that ran down either side of the cavern. He hummed in thought. I don’t re...
