Talkin' about Heartbite
2 months ago
Long time followers might remember me talking about Heartbite, which is my combination nonfatal-vore/petplay setting for roleplay and stories. It is more or less the 'main' canon for most of my characters - there's a few exceptions, like the teacher/breeding fetish stuff doesn't take place there, my pokemon OC's aren't there, and all of Ari's "I work at an office that allows nudity and encourages fucking in the open" stuff isn't there... but the vast majority of it is.
I've mentioned Heartbite a few times, and made various attempts at explaining it, but I feel like I mostly haven't really satisfactoraly explained it in any level of sufficient detail. So it's always been this sort of background element that surfaces in a few scattered stories, or in descriptions of artwork I commission...
... So this week I decided that I would write at least a few things down about it.
And then I kept writing. And kept writing.
... And right now, it's sitting at a meaty 12,000 words of worldbuilding, lore, and general information. And I'm not even considering it finished yet.
It's goal is to tie together (most of) my characters into one cohesive setting, provide rules on how the world works, give a feel for what it's like living in this world... and ultimately be a single document that I can simply hand off to anyone who'd like to make their own Heartbite stories or art, or do roleplaying in it, or whatever else.
I've been working on this setting on and off for nearly 8 years, mostly through brainstorming, private roleplays, and commissioned art/stories... so I'm really stoked to be getting it all down on paper to share it. I want to get it properly finished before I post it, but look for it being posted in the near future.
Really stoked.

Reminds me I should eventually write up mine again before my memory starts to break up a bit more...but, still. Nice to see such dedication to setting-work!
I hold a lot of respect for people who can make a full cohesive setting for everyone in their cast, it always smacks of a cohesive throughline.
And I just love to see it. It's fun to watch it come along so well, and for you to be so excited and deep into it.
