Snake:Byte and the Pink Pegasus Crew
Posted 3 weeks agoLong time, no talk!
Has anyone here played Snake:Byte by GroveDev? I don't usually play hentai games since porn is free and I shouldn't have to work for it, but this game...okay, the mechanics are simple and won't win any awards, but the premise and fetishes present absolutely hit! Hypnosis, dronification, exhibitionism...bro, this game was made for me! OAO
Normally, that'd keep my attention for about 30 minutes, but also the story is really good. I haven't gotten too far yet, but the characters are really endearing and have me invested. I actually want to see where this story goes, and that's not something I usually say about hentai games.
Even more so, it gives me inspiration for the Pink Pegasus universe with Sammi and friends. First of all, it's about time I lower the stakes; as much fun as it was to give Sammi insane levels of plot armor, it just didn't really fit to have all of this tongue-in-cheek "peril" next to the possibility of severe bodily harm and death. Second of all, I plan to add a new villain faction with a new character! I won't reveal too much yet, but I do have it nailed down that she'll be a snake with hypnotic eyes, a squad of drones that obey her every word without question, and weapons which fire a "smart tar" to encase their targets. She needs a little more time in the oven, but I'm really excited to breathe life into her :>
Lastly, don't think that Xikori's going anywhere! She's being demoted from Sammi's nemesis to more of a "Catwoman" character; while she has her own goals (which usually align with her whomever has hired her services) and often works against the interests of the Pink Pegasus and its crew, she means no ill will. If anything, she rather enjoys "playing" with Sammi, and the feeling is mutual (though both of them accept that what they briefly had years ago isn't going to work anymore). In the event of a three-way conflict between Xikori, the Pink Pegasus, and this new villain faction, however...she would always aid Sammi.

Writing Update
Posted 2 years agoHey all.
To everyone who enjoys the writing I do, either in conjunction with art I get or independent of it, I want to thank you. Even if I'm talking into the void here, this is something I've been wanting to vent about for a while.
For the past few months, I've been having a sort of existential crisis in regard to my writing. It began with a more critical evaluation of my Carnelia fic, "Ascendance". I really enjoyed writing it, but over time, it's become more and more of a personal embarrassment.
I always intended Carnelia to be a sort of Palpatine-esque character. While her pursuit of power is motivated by a higher purpose rather than the lust for power, itself, she would also primarily rely upon her charisma and wits to accomplish her goals. Her combat abilities (and especially her dark magical powers) were always meant to be kept in her back pocket for when there was absolutely no other way out. This makes the context of "Ascendance" even more embarrassing as it implies that her charisma or wits were not enough to accomplish her goals. I realize I gave in to my ego and my desire to portray her at the height of her power, but in doing so I cast her as little more than a simple brute. A part of me even realized that as I was writing it, but I only considered whether the action fit in with her philosophy and not whether or not it was a practical application of her skillset.
Afterwards, I started looking with a more critical eye towards the other universes I've been developing and wondering whether I'm in over my head. Captain Erin Reed and crew is another universe I've been investing a lot in behind the scenes. Her entire character has revolved around my fascination with military culture and military sci-fi as a genre. I have a lot of ideas for things to pursue with her, but a lot of them inevitably end up clashing with my desire to be earnest and realistic.
For example, with Erin in her pilot-verse, as much as I want to apply all of the cool terminology and tactics I've learned from watching DCS videos, most of those tactics are obsolete even now in the modern era. One option is to do what amateur military sci-fi writers the world over have done and just have future pilots using 4th generation or even WWII tactics. However, I couldn't even allow myself to abide by that. If I couldn't predict what advancements would be made in aerial combat in the coming centuries, then I would need to be like Frank Herbert and come up with a justification for the anachronism. These world-building questions piled up and sapped every little bit of fun from the experience, which is why I primarily favored Erin's captain-verse (until the exact same thing happened there).
I think it's safe to leave it at those two examples as they are the ones that have been causing me the most grief. It was within the last few weeks that I finally forced myself to gaze inward and introspect on what it was that I was doing wrong. The answer I arrived at was one that a few people reading this may have already arrived at: I got a bit pretentious. I wanted to create a badass character that people would idolize; build a world around them that was filled with every last bit of esoteric information I had osmotically absorbed from Youtube videos; and wrap it all up with a plot so airtight, not even a bacterium wouldn't be able to find a hole to slip through. All I would need was the time, energy, and passion to dive deep into research, stress test my builds, and plot out my story bit by bit while ironing out plot holes.
Needless to say, working full-time and GMing multiple TTRPG campaigns has left little time, energy, or passion for my other projects. That didn't stop me from trying to have my cake and eat it, too, which led to either information overload and burnout (as is the case with Erin), or under-developed characters demanding respect based upon what they are on a conceptual level (as is the case with Carnelia).
While I may have spent a lot of this post lamenting, it feels quite liberating to acknowledge all of this. Exploring my anxieties here has helped me to understand my own faults as well as to be content with my current ability. I feel that my biggest mistake was building my passion projects based upon what I thought other people would think about them. I do enjoy writing, but constantly worrying about making mistakes has made it incredibly daunting to sit down and start typing.
I've been trying to type this out for the past few hours, it's getting late, and I'm starting to get delirious. To those of you who made it this far, thank you again for coming on this journey with me, and I hope it's helped you to find comfort in your own passions, as well (if you hadn't already). Take care :)

Hypnovember Writing Event!
Posted 3 years agoHey all!
Thanks to
, I've discovered a list of Hypnovember prompts that are absolutely enticing! You can find it here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49173907/
I don't intend to do every day for a number of reasons. The first being that I haven't prepared at all, and I just learned about this today (lol). The second is that some of these work better as drawing prompts rather than writing prompts. The third and final reason is that I work full time and simply wouldn't have the time or energy to write a short story every day. Instead, I intend to go through and pick out my favorites. I'm going to try and stick to the days each prompt is for, but I'm not going to guarantee that I'll be able to do that.
Lastly, before I close out, I'd like to give another shout out to
for both introducing me to the idea and also accepting my offer to do a story trade with him! He'll write a story with Sammi in return for my own story involving his android girl, Ceres, so be on the lookout for both :3 Meanwhile, he's also offering Hypnovember story commissions for $15 a slot, so if you want a story based on any of the listed prompts, head on over to his profile, give him a watch and throw your money at him! He does great work and is well worth the price!
Happy Hypnovember, everyone! Turn on, tune in, and surrender to the swirls~

500 Watcher Milestone!
Posted 3 years agoHey guys!
I don't make a whole lot of journals (as you could probably tell), but I thought reaching 500 watchers was as good a time to pop that cherry as any. Where did you all come from? One minute I'm sitting here in my own quiet little corner of FA, and the next I'm a niche internet micro-celebrity! It still gets me when I join a kink server and get recognized as the owner of that one pink dolphin in the bodysuit that gets zonked all the time.
Well, I hope the place is to your liking! It's certainly a fixer-upper; I'll need to create proper folders for all my characters as well as a proper page heading at some point.
Although I'm willing to wager that most people here follow me for Samantha, she's far from the only character I have. My hope is that I don't give people whiplash from posting a zonked space dolphin one week and a blood-drenched, traumatized Victorian tyrant the next! I enjoy reading and writing a wide range of genres, so I've got a veritable selection of OCs for most everyone's tastes :p
Thank you so much for watching, and I hope you enjoy your stay!
