Wrote some words but I don't think they're very good. It's one of those days, guess I won't force it.

Since childhood I've been suspected of having autism and it always felt like it fit but also completely didn't. I've been reading up about the ball of contradiction known as autism x ADHD and things are finally clicking for me... I didn't know there was a name for my specific type of dysfunction.

Out of the Ocean has been released! It's a cute, wholesome yuri story with two heroines (including a mermaid!), a poly ending, and a lot of adorable artwork.
You can find the VN on Steam and Itchio!

Screenshot from Bread Makes The Heart Aflutter. Shows the bakery scene, with sprites of three fairies floating in the middle of the screen, and Emile's side portrait in the bottom left. The text reads: "Emile: Hello, Snowdrop. Hello, Azalea. Hello, Magnolia. It's good to see you, too!" Cropped artwork of Eileen, the mascot of the visual novel engine RenPy, happily pulling a book out of a bookshelf. The book has the python logo on it. Cropped artwork featuring the vtubers from Holostars English. The two in frame are Banzoin Hakka — who is holding up a drink with an excited look on his face — and Josuiji Shinri — who is looking at him with a smile on his face. Just out of view are Machina X Flayon and Regis Altare. Screenshot from The Mysterious Thief Forget Me Not. It shows the museum interior, with Irina's sprite in the middle of the screen and Desirée's portrait in the bottom left. The dialogue reads: "Desirée: (It's just the two of us right now...)"
