Sorry for the silence >.< I'm still here! + Merry Christmas :3
I'm currently a zombie >.< (aka - my medication/mental health is crippling me)
Alrighty, so I'm gonna have to start out with apologising for going quiet for so darn long >.< Some of the time I was just working away on the project and not realising how much time had gone by, but for a lot of it, I've just been totally and utterly overwhelmed by life in general! I'll also apologise for the fact that this is gonna get very long and rambly, haha.
Frustratingly, I'm not even close to making the target I set for myself to have the next episode out in time for Christmas :( Progress on it has been made, but nowhere near as much as I would have liked.
Anyone who has spoken to me personally or has read my recent newsletters from the last couple of months on Patron already knows that my mental health has taken a serious nosedive recently >.< I mean, it's never been great, haha. I've struggled with anxiety and depression all my life, and like everyone, I have my ups and downs. The problem is, my downs can be really bad sometimes. Pretty much crippling. And since finishing Spooktober VN Jam 2021 at the start of October, I've fallen into a pretty bad depression pit.
I don't think the new antidepressants my therapist recommended I start in September have been of much help either. If anything, I have a bad feeling they've made things much worse :( I've just slowly become quite the zombie. I know I'm still me, but I feel less... if that makes any sort of sense? xD They make me incredibly sleepy, to the point that I can have a sound 8 hours sleep and still feel exhausted as though I haven't slept at all. And on top of that, they have a whole bunch of other physical side effects that haven't really gone away despite having been on the medication for over 3 months now.
The original plan...
My plan was to finish Spooktober Jam, take a break throughout October to play some of the games from the jam + attend the scare events I usually do around Halloween, and then get back to working on DD full time throughout November and December, with a Christmas update containing additional content for Castor/ia while also introducing the next character in the lineup with an introductory episode equal in length to Castor/ia's + more.
It should have been doable if I were able to maintain any sort of project working routine, even if it was a little less than my crazy jam-mode working hours. But as November rolled around, I found myself becoming more and more zombified. Until it eventually reached the point that I wasn't even switching on my PC anymore because all I could manage to do in a day was eat, sleep, and exercise >.< I spend huge amounts of time just completely zoned out, staring into nothingness, like someone has flicked a switch in my head that puts me on standby mode. Then before I know, over an hour has passed and I've done literally nothing!
So I apologise to anyone who sent me emails or left comments if I haven't gotten back to you yet. I certainly didn't intend to leave things without a response for so long. I just got too overwhelmed and couldn't cope :( I've spent this week attempting to go through everything for a few hours a day, and I think I've managed to get back to everyone now, but if I've managed to miss anything, please do give me a poke and I'll do my best to get back to you :3
Current progress...
I feel awful that I haven't achieved what I wanted to by the time I wanted to >.< And I don't want to let any of you guys down when I know you're waiting for more content. Especially when you've been kind enough to support the development of the project, which I appreciate more than I can put into words :3 As people keep telling me though, I need to try and stop beating myself up and actually focus on looking after myself I guess.
In terms of where I'm at with the next update, I've got just over 6k words done. For comparison, Castor/ia's intro episode/what's currently available to play right now is around 9k words. I want to make sure each character's intro episode is roughly equal in length, which means I have about 3k words left to write for the next character's episode. HOWEVER, I'm also planning to write additional content for Castor/ia that I want to include in the same update. So I'd say I'm only about 50% done with the writing for the next update. Then I've got to actually start coding everything, sorting out the sprites to edit, and, of course, getting voice actors to record lines! I think I will make an effort to stay away from participating in jams in 2022 because if I hadn't made games for Otome Jame 2021 and Spooktober VN Jam 2021, I probably would've had an update or two out for DD by now >.< Though, I did learn a hell of a lot participating in those jams, alongside meeting some wonderful new friends :3
Another funding goal met! \^0^/
Speaking of voice acting, thanks to everyone's incredible support across here, Patreon, and KOFI, there should now be enough funding to have the next 2 episodes of DD fully voiced :3 Which is just amazing and I can't thank you all enough!
The new plan...
My plan going forward is to try my best to just stay away from my PC and project work throughout the remainder of December, and make sure to spend time with my loved ones in January. I'm then hoping to begin getting back into a serious working routine of making progress on DD at the beginning of February.
My therapist is supposed to be helping me come off of this medication I'm on around the start of March, but I'm going to ask her if she can maybe make that sooner because I feel as though it's really destroying me and making it quite difficult to function >.< I just want to keep making this game, darn it, haha.
So yeah, that's what's happening! It was awfully long-winded, and I apologise for that >.< I just didn't wanna leave you guys in the dark + I just think that it's best to always be honest about stuff.
Happy holidays! :3
Before I go, I just want to say a great big Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to everyone! I hope you're all managing to stay safe during these crazy times >.< Thank you so much again for your support and your patience :3 And I hope you have a very happy new year! ^_^/

its been 2 years since i first saw one of ur projects, and even tho i cant really do much to support u since im still broke af, and im also not as active as i used to be around here... just gotta let u know that even tho i really enjoyed the projects that i played, the actual reason as to why i still decided so stick around and check every once in a while is bc of u, the way that u express urself, how u just dont give up easily on projects, and being able to understand some of the things you've been going through.
Even tho im just some random dude on the internet and it might not mean much, just know that ur important and the fact that u havent let these emotions completely drag u down just shows how strong u truly are.
Holy moly, that is quite some time, haha. Man, sometimes I forget that I've been doing this for a while now x3 I always think back to when I released SR as being the start, but then I end up reminding myself that I was working on that darn project for like 3 years + before finally releasing it xD
Aww, that's so sweet of you to say :3 I feel like I'm just bumbling around the internet splurging out my thoughts while making games, haha. I guess it's probably not ver professional of me always going on about my mental health struggles and stuff >.< but I've never really liked the idea of hiding that sort of thing! I much prefer just being upfront and honest about it all.
It means more than you know anyhow :3 I can't even describe how uplifting it can be if I'm really down and I end up seeing a really sweet comment about one of my projects. That sort of support is honestly priceless! Sometimes it's the difference between having the motivation to get stuff done in a day or not.
So yeah, I really appreciate it :3 And I hope the new year is treating you as well as can be!
I'd also like to chime in here in agreement with the person you replied to. It takes a great deal of fortitude and courage to come out and admit these kinds of things, especially to strangers on the internet. I admire and appreciate the work you have done and continue to do. I will do what I can on my end to help you out as a cheerleader if nothing else :)
Aww, thank you :3 That's sweet of you to say! I'm super grateful to have such supportive folks around me both in my close personal life and here online. It really does make a world of difference when you've got folks you can speak to. The last thing I'd want is for anyone to have to suffer with their problems alone because if I'd had to do that myself, I wouldn't even be here now >.< So yeah, I feel like it's better to be open and talk about stuff. Especially when you never know if someone else nearby could be suffering in silence! Life is definitely easier when you've got a support network to help drag you outta big old depression holes x3
Hey hey ! I know I'm seeing this... quite a bit late but then again your mental health is what matters the most ! Take care of yourself :3
Tbh I personally stopped working on my game cause of my crappy mental health aha :')
But yeah, I can't say I'm not pumped for the next update, but... You shouldn't push yourself too hard ! We can wait for sure :)
Have a nice day/night ! <3
That sucks that you stopped working on your game because of poopy mental health too :( I hope you manage to feel well enough at some point to carry on with it :3 But yeah, definitely don't do what I have a bad habit of doing and trying to force yourself to work when you're not feeling it x3 That never seems to work out well for me, haha.
Things are slowly getting better for me :3 Coming off the antidepressants has helped a hell of a lot! I'm trying to take thing s a bit slower now, but I'm feeling the desire to get what I can done :D I've missed not working on stuff a lot, haha.
Hope you're doing a bit better and that 2022 is being kind to you so far :3
I hope so too ! Tho I reeally don't feel like doing anything at all these times :'/
That's really cool ! I'm so glad you're doing better :D also relatable aha
Kind of but it really depends TwT I'm having a really bad year so far but I try to mostly see the best in it (spoiler alert : it's haaard lol). Thanks anyways, you're really nice :)
I know when you're going through a crappy time it's pretty hard to see the good stuff in life, but try to remember that nothing lasts forever, which means eventually, the bad times will be over and the good times will roll in :3
I know that's not very helpful, and I really suck at remembering that myself xD but still! I hope your year ends up getting better at some point, especially since we're only in the first quarter of it :3
It is ! And I know that but it's sadly often uneasy to see :/
I get that ! And it's not yet better but I'm hoping it'll be the case soon enough. I can't continue like that anyways X)
Have a nice day/night and stay safe
Keep hanging in there! x3 It sucks things aren't any better still >.< If I could rearrange the universe to give you a break then I would! Since I can't, all I can do is get out my pom poms, cheer you on, and keep hoping things will improve for you sooner rather than later :3
I showed up here after watching about half of Manly's video. My policy with watching a playthrough of any game is simply "If it looks interesting enough i have to pause the video and get the game to play it myself" This game is one of the ones i had to check out and i got excited seeing that there's even more content coming. I'll be offering what support i can. Take care of yourself in the meantime. You have a gem of a game here
Like we said Melody-san, take care of yourself first!
We'll be understanding and wait for the good news, your health comes first. Always take care and thank you for your work~
I'm so sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well :'( *sends you a virtual hug*
Please, don't beat yourself up, you don't have to apologize for not feeling well, your health is always the topmost priority!! Take care of yourself and spend time with your loved ones!!
I wish you all the best, hope you have an amazing new year!! <3
Thank you for all your kind words :3 And I'm sorry I still haven't gotten around to replying to you on Discord >.< I have read your message! I've been reading everything people have sent, I just haven't had it in me to respond to stuff until now. I'll get there though :3
Now that I'm back and feeling well enough to work on things again, I'm trying to take it a little slower so as not to end up burning out immediately x3 haha.
I hope you've been having a happy 2022 so far! :3
Hey, Mari Mel! Sorry for the late reply, been a bit busy myself >_<
Don't worry about the reply, take your time! <3
Happy to hear you're feeling better!! * hugs *
Hope you're having a happy 2022 so far too!! ^w^/
Oh, the whole situation is very understandable. Most people who don't have depression can't grasp the concept of it following you in life, as something that requires adapting your daily life to(I've lately come to the realization that the social system, even public layouts, are designed FOR people who are not neurodivergent). It is important to find what routine modifications work for you personally. It took me almost 5 years to somewhat accept depressive moods as a valid part of my life and adapt so they do fit into my rhythm. It's less of a fight for me and more of finding ways to work alongside my behaviors. Just doing things a bit different than other people but managing to gain from life exactly what I want.
I'd recommend adapting your near surroundings for what differences your own 'brand' of anxiety and depression makes to it. Like this(and that one has helped me greatly):
if empty food wrappers keep piling up on a desk or just someplace - place a tray/bucket/bin there; if you keep piling up laundry on a chair - a container of sorts there also helps; assess how much energy you feel at the start of the day and, liking it to coins, decide how many you have. and each time you feel like you've exerted said energy, mentally lessen the count by how much it took out of you to do it. when you have no coins left, it means you've done all you could today.
I don't know much about medications but definitely tell your therapist if the medication doesn't suit you. For me personally, Zoloft has worked alright so far. Might not wanna get any meds with ingredients imported from India. I've tried Sertrolin once and it had the same effect as straight up sedatives. A nasty thing, that one.
With that in mind, I've been taken with your work quite a bit. Haven't found anything like it in a while. Your stories have that delightfully realistic edge to them. It's positively ravishing ;)
Yeeeeah, that's pretty much how my mum is x3 She seems to think that depression is a case of just being lazy, and that simply getting a job will solve all your problems >.< She's just a very different person to me though. Sure, she has her ups and downs, but I think she's ever truly experienced what it's like to have poor mental health, and so she's just unable to understand how debilitating it can be.
Being neurodiverse certainly doesn't help the situation either, haha. As you say, society, in general, isn't really designed for non-neurotypical people, so it's kinda like already being at a major disadvantage before you even factor in stuff like anxiety and depression >.<
I'm sorry that you've had to go through everything that you have :( But also, that's a huge achievement to have gotten to the point where you are able to accept that sort of thing, even if it did take 5 years! My therapist kept trying to drill into me that it's impossible to be consistent each day in terms of productivity because each day is different and brings different challenges, so it's impossible to expect myself to be able to keep on being as productive as days that have passed x3
Hearing that you're able to acknowledge something like that for yourself gives me hope that I might be able to someday too :3 I think I'm maybe a bit too stubborn for my own good xD even when I'm struggling like crazy, I keep pushing myself onwards, and it never turns out well, but I never learn my lesson either >.< haha.
If I can somehow learn that it's completely valid for me to have these dips without beating myself up for them, I'll probably be a lot better off!
I really love your energy = coins analogy! I'm gonna attempt to give that a go because I certainly do find myself trying to take on too much and then getting myself worked up when I ultimately fail to do everything I had hoped to x3 Perhaps using that method, I can try and be a bit more realistic with myself about what's achievable!
In the end, my therapist agreed that I should come off of the medication I was on at the time (Duloxetine), though she did think I should try something else. I told her that I would prefer to go without for now, because every time I've tried medication, it just seems to make things worse in one way or another >.< I tried Sertraline years ago and I know what you mean! It was awful. I could barely get out of bed :( I believe Fluoxetine did the same thing to me as well. Citalopram made me gain a crazy amount of weight and begin to lose any and all feeling >.< And Mirtazapine turned me into a ravenous monster with an insatiable appetite that wanted to eat anything and everything in sight xD Even a carrot was a delicious treat to me while I was on that! Unfortunately, I was on it around Easter time, so when stores reduced all their Easter chocolate, I went mad buying all the leftovers o.O Luckily, I had enough willpower in me to not eat them, and to tell my GP at the time that it was getting kinda ridiculous, haha. All the chocolate went to a local foodbank in the end, haha.
I'm super glad you've been enjoying my stuff anyhow :3 I hope I can produce equally satisfying content in the future! :D Thanks for all your kind words and support! I hope 2022 has been treating you well so far :3
Uncooperative relatives sure are a trend these days. I sometimes bristle at how condescending and patronising they can be when you're trying to make an effort to be understood. Mine, 50+ year old mother obviously notwithstanding. Old dogs can learn some tricks but not all. Then, you have to decide whether it's worth it keeping them nearby. (Or, at least at apartment's door length, for me. It's hard, and I'm at times like jello)
From my experience, it's certainly worthwhile to try new ways in which you can change your routine. A 'just do it' analogy, funny enough, really is applicable here. I myself have decided to just go to whatever social events(free ones, cause I'm hella broke) in my city, unless I'm sick. It's nice to meet new people, kinda lifts off the atmosphere that otherwise hangs over your usual life.
Each time I feel better for it, I'm surprised once again. Even If I have to do it week after week, seeing as my attention span makes these fresh revelations fade a bit.
You know, doing the dishes after every meal is kinda gratifying. No, really, the feeling of accomplishment just slides into place. So weird (⁀ᗢ⁀).
I guess, I'm one of the more or less functioning people out there(at least in my extremely sad territorial area). Yet, I was forced to take the rest of the year off. By my college administration. Cause 'we aren't equipped to deal with you' , even though they have accomodations for _physically_ disabled people. But really, It's cause I've got a scholarship when I've enrolled there, 3 years ago. They don't do this sort of thing to people who pay tuition fees. Those would get a slap on the wrist and that's it. But a free budget place is too succulent of a thing to not kick me in the arse. Well, repeating a year ain't that bad. But f*ck them.
Glad you've notified your therapist. Food is good. Food is nice. A delicious treat has never run amiss (.❛ ᴗ ❛.) (Lemon tart... my beloved ｡ﾟ･ (>﹏<) ･ﾟ｡)
My parents are like polar opposites, haha. My mum just doesn't really take much interest or think much of what I'm doing, but my dad is super supportive, even going as far as to help me out on Limbo Line by taking some epic photos of geese to go on Nine's PC xD And then we have my brother, who thinks I'm not a proper dev because I don't have a studio, I'm not being paid, and worst of all, because I'm making VNs, which he doesn't consider to be proper games >.>
Holy moly, you have a lot more confidence than me to go out to social events and stuff! That honestly sounds like my idea of a nightmare I'm that averse to socialising x3 Not only have I got my autism and social anxiety to deal with, but I'm a huuuuuge introvert, so it doesn't take much at all in the way of socialising to drain me dry, haha. I don't really feel as though I need any more people in my personal life anyways since I'm super close to my dad, lucky enough to have an amazing best friend (even if she does live 3 hours away from me, haha), and some really wonderful friends online too :3 That'll do me, haha. I don't think I could even physically cope with more than that even if I wanted to xD
More power to you though for putting yourself out there like that cos that really can't be easy at all! It must take a lot of guts :3
I sort of know what you mean though cos whenever I meet up with my best friend, just travelling to see her and hanging out with her feels like it shakes things up a bit :3 Along with reminding me that there is more to life than my usual daily routine and safety bubble. Sometimes it even gives me a bit of a boost to try and be more social, but whenever I've acted on that in the past it's just ended in disaster xD
I can't say I ever feel particularly gratified doing the dishes x3 More just a sense of irritability for the fact that I have to clean up after my brother cos he's too lazy to ever do it himself >.<" He won't even do them himself when my dad and I are away! We just come back to a giant pile of washing up and no clean dishes left to eat off of :( I tend to do them while doing something else, like making coffee or cooking dinner, just because I like it when I can get multiple monotonous tasks done at once to save time, haha.
Wow... That's just absolutely awful about your college admin. What a horrible and outdated attitude to have >.< I'm sorry you have to deal with something like that. They sound like assholes for treating you that way :( It shouldn't matter whether you got a scholarship or are paying tuition fees, everyone should be treated equally >.<
Not quite lemon tart, but I just had a mini limoncello pannetone for lunch xD Oh how I wish you could devour what you like without putting on weight x3 I love food, haha.
Hope you're getting to have a happy weekend at least :3
Although I missed the free giveaway, I am appreciative of all the work you've done as well as your passion and dedication.
That said, take care of yourself first so that you're still around to enjoy the fruits of your work!
Also don't feel the need to fit an arbitrary word count. If you remove conjunctions then the word count drops far quicker before the reader realizes how empty it is. Quality > Quantity.
If you need a key, feel free to let me know where to send one and I'll get one to you asap :3
Things are finally beginning to improve enough to the point where I feel like I can manage to make a little progress with projects again :3 I think I just have to accept that I'm gonna have these big ups and downs because they seem to be a regular part of my life and the way my silly brain works >.< haha.
True, true about the word count! The main thing I want to do is make sure that each character is getting a similar amount of attention in their route because I don't want one to have a lot more content than another. But yeah, I'll try to be a bit more relaxed about it :3
Thank you for the kind words of support!
I kinda wanted to do this via DM/PM, but no such system exists on the itch.io platform to my knowledge. I am on the Discord network (linked in my itch.io profile) if you prefer to use that method of contact. Fortunately it supports e-mail signups (no phone # required) and browser-based access (so no download or apps required to use it). I'm considering a shift to a self-hosted 'Matrix' instance (basically Discord but open-source and self-hosted) in the future once other aspects of my life fall into place.
Lengthy blurb out of the way, yes I'd appreciate if you could send me a key (an itch key and/or Steam key) privately so that I can give the game a good shake and promote it on my Discord server and to other networks that I participate in.
Yeah, it is kinda weird that there's no system like that on here >.< I can certainly shoot you a message on Discord anyhow :3 Just know that I'm very rarely on there, haha. And almost always set to invisible because I can't handle the stress of instant messaging x3 I pretty much reply to everything as though it's an email, no matter what platform I'm using, haha.
I'll get you a key sent over after I send this reply anyhow :3 I can only do itch for now because I don't have any of my stuff on Steam yet (that $100 fee is kind of a killer when most of my games are free jam games and I lack the ability to promote anything >.< I also feel like it would be a waste to put DD on there in its current state since it's only akin to a demo right now! I definitely wanna try and get it on there once I've got a few more episodes released that show more of what the game will be like though :3)
The most important is nothing but you when ı read this post ı felt really sad because I can also feel like this sometimes..so please take care of yourself even ıt means the goals will have to wait..as ı said you are far way more important than them ı hope you will become better with time ^^ .
I'm sorry you feel like that sometimes too :( It's not a nice place to be in and I sure as hell wouldn't wish it on anyone!
Things are slowly improving as time goes on, and finally coming off of the antidepressants has helped a lot (oh, the irony x3) So I'm finally feeling like I can make a bit of progress on my projects again :3
Thank you for all the kind words and support!
Please don't beat yourself up, we all care so much more about you and your health than updates. It sounds super rough what you're going through and tbh I've been in that EXACT same position. So please reach out if you ever need to vent. Hope you take some time to enjoy the holiday and take care of yourself :)
I'm going to do my best to keep that in mind in the future :3 I don't know why I get it in my head that I'm failing hard if I'm not constantly making progress x3 My therapist told me a billion times over that it's not always possible to be super productive, haha.
And it sucks you've been in the same position >.< You do work crazy hard! Half the time when I spoke to you while we were working on Limbo Line, it was like you barely had a chance to breathe with being so busy x3 So I hope you manage to catch plenty of breaks yourself!
I think I still haven't replied to you on Discord yet >.< Sorry about that! I'll get round to it at some point. I'm sort of only just back on my PC and slowly going through everything I've missed. I did read everything at the time it was sent, I just didn't have anything left in me to respond >.<
I hope you actually got a chance to relax over the holidays + that 2022 is going great for you so far!! :3
No worries, I totally get it. Please take your time and when you do get back around to Discord I'll be there :)
Stay safe and go at your own pace, there’s no need to worry so much when your own health should come first and foremost!
Yeah, I do have a little bit of trouble remembering to put that stuff first x3 My family and my best friend keep trying to drill it into me though, haha. I just always feel a bit useless when I'm not able to work on project stuff, so I try to push myself and it just ends up getting worse. I really ought to have learned that by now, haha.
I'm finally in a good enough place mentally though to be able to start making some progress on projects again :3 Thank you for your kind words! I hope you've been having a happy 2022 so far!
Hey don't worry about it, you deserve a break, you've been working so hard, and kindly responding to everyone, I'm happy you get some time for yourself now :) I hope you have an amazing time with your loved ones! Take as many breaks as you need I'll always support you and your content no matter what. merry Christmas and happy new years to you! Stay safe out there :)
I did indeed have a lovely time with my family over Christmas :3 and my dad works so hard to try and keep my chin up, bless him! I'm very lucky to have a parent like that.
It took a while, but I'm about 5 weeks off of my antidepressants and feeling a lot better for it now, even if the side effects of coming off were unpleasant. It didn't take that long for me to feel my creativity come flooding back. Unfortunately, I was away from my PC with no access to a computer at the time, so I was quite frustrated that I finally felt well enough to work on projects again but was unable to do so xD
I'm back home safe and sound now though, and I'm managing to make progress here and there :3
Thanks for being so sweet and supportive! I hope you've been having a good 2022 so far :D
That's awesome, I'm so glad for you, and that's ok, you deserved a long break, I hope you have a great 2022 too keep on being amazing!
Hi MM, we once conversed about the taxes that itch.io was charging you. I found out when I was looking at Patreon and their charges that the UK assesses a 20 or 30% (depending on where you live) General Sales Tax on sales such as those you are making. So, it's not an income tax, but a sales tax. We're all rooting for you, hope your situation improves.
Well, that's interesting! All of that stuff still largely confuses me >.< but I know things got even worse since Brexit when it comes to selling stuff online! I used to sell the odd handmade accessory here and there on Etsy, but once the new rules kicked in, it just got far too confusing in terms of customs forms and certain numbers required to send stuff to Europe, so I wound up giving up on that because I didn't wanna accidentally do anything wrong!
Thank you anyhow :3 Things certainly aren't amazing, but they're slowly improving enough for me to feel like I can finally get back to working on projects, so that's something :D Hope 2022 has been good to you so far!
Glad you're feeling better. Brexit seems to be one big mistake to me as an outsider. I really don't see the purpose, except for GB to avoid the rules of the EU. I see Boris Johnson is in a bit of hot water, too. Things are going well with me, with the exception of having some car problems. My vehicle is getting old (187,000 miles) and things are starting to go wrong at a faster rate. Oh well,, these things are inevitable. Best wishes to you.
hey no problem, I just can't imagine how hard things must be right now but I hope things get better, I'm sure everyone that read through this update thinks the same. Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year also try to fit in a laugh or two and enjoy this video I accidently sent to my professor instead of my assignment great times
Thanks for the kind words :3 It's certainly been a tough ride, and I won't lie, there are still things going on in my life right now that are making things somewhat difficult, but on the bright side, I'm back on my PC again and in the right frame of mind to continue working :3
I hope the new year has gotten off to a great start for you! And that you don't accidentally send anything like that to your professor again cos that must have been awkwaaaard x3
