Heya all! MercyArt was kind enough to do a funny little sketch of 'Bunny-Ben' for the Year of the Rabbit, and I just had to share. I hope y'all enjoy it as much as I do.

I hate myself for this.
Never again will I allow my mouth to make cheques my brain can't cash.
Ugh.
A year ago, just for a little bit, we hit the big goal of me embarrassing the hell out of myself by singing the Fire Emblem Heroes opening.
Now. I cannot sing. I am very self-conscious of this fact. This, for me, is torture, and I do not have a degradation kink. I have no experience mixing audio or anything like that, so this is just me singing al...

Yeah! We did it! We survived! Fuck this year, man!
Also, new preview! I don’t actually know if this is gonna stick in the final chapter, because it was an idea I had separately from the usual flow and wrote down so I didn’t forget it, but it’s cute and funny either way. I was also debating having SI!Ben ask “So, so I get to kick you in the crotch now?” as a throwback to the haunted house arc, but figured flabbergasted was funnier.
So, I said I’d finish 2022 hopefully ...
2022-12-31 11:56:17 +0000 UTC View PostOkay. Okay, I know it's been a while, and that's absolutely on me. I had no intention of going dark for so long, but good lord, I swear to god November was trying to kill me.
I'm gonna start by saying that no, this will not be my final 'update' of 2022. I'm finishing this year on a high note... I was gonna say 'if it kills me', but last time I said that it damn near did. So. Uh. Yeah, will post a happier update around New Year.
I'm not gonna beat around the bush here, ...

Hello, all! Happy Belated Halloween! Sorry for the radio-silence during October. My bad. No, this preview is not canon, but it made me laugh so I couldn't help myself.
So! Yeah. October was not so fun for me. I wrote out a big long paragraph about what's going on, but it just felt like whining, so I'll stick to the main points. Turns out that I'm having some fairly serious negative reactions to my medication, and as I'm going through the public system it takes forever to get an ap...

Howdy, all! I guess I owe y'all an explanation for my radio-silence over the last month. Have a gander at a little comedy I wrote earlier this week as a palate cleanser.
So, I'll start by saying that I'm happy to report I do not have cancer in my ass. XD
Long-time supporters may recall me being unwell quite often over the last year or so. Well, when you're told 'it could be a tumour in your bowels' you tend to freak out a bit. Fortunately, as I stated earlier, my ass is canc...
2022-09-26 18:42:38 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the delay on this chapter, but it's finally done! I actually ended up adding more than I thought I would, nearly 2k extra words! Blame TheRealOG and their historical knowledge for that. So much extra content... So! If you did end up reading the draft of the previous version, I urge you to check out this one as well.
Anyway, yes! Chapter's done. Like always, I'm not satisfied, but I've been agonizing over it for three days now and it just needed to be put to rest. I hope ...

Howdy all! I’m sorry for the long radio-silence again, but life has a way of kicking me in the nuts. I’ve taken to calling it the ‘Metallover Curse’.
Basically, last month myself, MinuteRice and TheRealOG all got sick. And I mean sick. Rice caught the dreaded ‘rona, and while it’s not my place to say what was wrong with OG, I do have permission to say that they, too, were struck down by the Metallover Curse. As for me, I actually spent a few days hospitali...
2022-08-01 22:08:33 +0000 UTC View PostWellp, I did say I needed to get something done by the end of the month. I managed to get this draft done, but MinuteRice has been sick and TheRealOG is in the middle of their exams, so... have a draft lol.
I'm pretty sure it won't take us much longer to get a final version done, but just in case... have a gander at the first draft I've finished in six months! Yay!
I'm pretty sure not much is going to change; a lot is just adding detail and clarification, mostly around the m...

Next on the chopping block is the Three Houses Self Insert short, then Dark. Progress!
I haven’t really got a lot else to update on. I have been to the doctor today, and I’m getting steroid injections in my spine next week. So, yeah, hopefully something comes of...

Morning all! Long time no see, huh? Sorry, that’s my bad, but have some new Self Insert preview goodness, fresh off the press!
So I have news. I have neutral, good, and bad news.
Neutral news is that I’ve decided that if I can’t get something substantial done by the end of June, I’m putting a temporary hold on Patreon so no one is charged again until I remove the hold. Y’all have been super supportive over the last six months, but this is something for my benefit; I fee...

Morning, all! Take a gander at the next Self Insert chapter. Hopefully it’s not too lewd for y’all.
So! The plan is thus: finish this Self Insert chapter, then the Self Insert Three Houses thing, then Dark, and then we’ll see. I’m getting back into the swing of things now, slowly but surely, and am actually getting back into writing fairly regularly again. It’s nowhere near where I was before, but it’s a start. We’ve come up with all kinds of crazy ideas, too, which I’m...

Sorry that Dark is inaccessible at the moment; all the current Dark chapters are attached to this post, so feel free to binge to your heart's content.

I've included a little short piece I wrote between SI!Ben and Su'ko as a little feel-good thing. I may use this as an opener for the chapter after the next, but felt it was good timing for something a little wholesome. I'm also working on a dumb little Three Houses Self Insert short cross over thing. If I can get it somewhat presentable, I'll be uploading it sometime this weekend. Hopefully. We'll see what happens.
Is there any specific characters y...

I really don't know why this took the better part of two freakin' months. But, it's done, we're done, it's here, and I hope y'all enjoy. Not a lot actually changed, just a few minor dialogue adjustments and some little tweaks here and there. Nothing major, but enough to make me go "ugh" every time I thought about it for the last month. Because so little has changed, and because the chapter's been up since December, and because I want to publicly annou...

Sorry for the long radio silence. Working hospitality at this time of year is rough at the best of times, but with the rona finally spreading around my city (and my workplace, holy shit I’m amazed I haven’t caught it myself yet) it’s been made so much worse than usual. But! The Christmas/New Year rush is over, things are calming down, and I can finally breathe again.
Now, the reason for this pseudo-hiatus was obviously my...

Morning, all! Sorry for the radio silence last week. I was kinda preoccupied with… well, one of the worst hangovers I’ve had since I was a teenager. I’m getting too old for binge sessions. Apparently, though, I was quite the riot on the discord voice chat. Aaaaaaand then I aggressively came onto my editor MinuteRice. It was a wild ride, and I remember none of it.
Anecdotal, though. Have a look at the new Dark chapter!

I am literally uploading this the second I finished it, as promised. So it's probably rough, especially towards the end because I am running on fumes right now. But, it's done. The contents probably won't change much in the end, but we'll see.
The plan is to get one more chapter done before the end of the year, so hopefully... yeah. I ...
2021-12-04 03:13:17 +0000 UTC View PostSorry to spam y'all with these updates, but it was suggested on the Discord server (which is open to the public, by all means, come check it out) that we have a 'battle royale' between Ben's three 'servants' to see who is the Helper Prime between Elle, Su'ko and Gaila. I fucking loved the idea, so this is happening next chapter. Now, there's a few things to keep in mind:
Elle has been training regularly with Toady off-screen, as I'm sure long-term supporters will remember from the total...

I will freely admit I am struggling with this Dark chapter. There’s three perspective shifts in it, which might be a mistake given Dark’s comparative short word count, and it’s tripping me up. I’m trying to write from Velne’s perspective, which I haven’t done before, and it’s driving me mental trying the get her ‘voice’ right. The hardest part, though, is...
