Happy TDOV! If you're feeling a bit lost, maybe this short VN about being trans and wrestling with identity can help you find some direction or catharsis today.

Now that video length has increased, I can finally upload my trailer for BondPyre as a proper embed!

I'd heard @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social was leaving signed copies at the local book store, but didn't think I'd be lucky enough to actually snag one.

So, to bring things in line, I took the liberty of inking and coloring over those original modified images. This saved time that I would have wasted working out button and image placements from scratch.

To do this initially, we set about modifying a web page with inspect element. This allowed us to replace images and text with our own content, which we could then save as an image.
