Goodbye Volcano High screenshot. Interior of the Lava Java cafe in darkness due to a power outage. Halfway down the image you see more lights from cellphones as well as a few more dinosaurs (left to right: a light green dino with a purple head spine and yellow hair, a light brown dino with pink pigtails and a yellow shirt, a light green dinosaur with multiple head spikes and curly hair wearing a white hoodie) all pointed at the center of the image, where Fang (light grey pterosaur, black tank top, high-waisted ripped black pants, necklace, long grey hair) is playing a light brown acoustic guitar. To their right is a music stand with a black midi controller on it). The Goodbye Volcano High logo (cream all caps text, asteroid cutting through the second “o” in “Goodbye” and forming the line of the bottom “n” on “Volcano”) is large in the center of the frame. In the top right is a dashed circle around the words “GONE GOLD” in all caps.ALT

Goodbye Volcano High has gone gold!

KO_OP has announced today that GVH has gone gold and is ready for be released on August 29th! They had initially planned to release it in 2021, but major events (including a narrative reboot with a new writing team, a global pandemic, avoiding developer crunch, and dealing with an ongoing anti-trans harassment campaign) pushed the date back to were it is now. But it’s finally done!

If you don’t know what this game is or what it’s about, I made a most describing it here.

You can wishlist it on Steam and on the PlayStation Store!

I mean I think people should curate their own fandom experience and whatnot and it's perfectly fair to just avoid things one is uncomfortable with...

That being said. From personal experience? Immunizing myself to all my discomforts by browsing through pixiv and kink memes with raised eyebrows while searching for things I am interested in back when tagging was non-existent has really made my fandom experience much more pleasant nowadays.

I have preferences, for sure. But I have no fear. I have no cringe. The filthiest, grossest fanwork holds no powers over me. I am a god.

Like honestly dl;dr and block on sight is respectable and all but I genuinely think everyone could just benefit from purposefully exposing yourself to your nOTP and non-triggering squicks sometimes? (And obviously don't go bother the creators for it.) If only so that it makes it easier/safer to search for content you like without living in fear of accidentally glimpsing something you hate and having that ruin your day.

Training oneself to be comfortable with mild discomfort is a highly under-rated skill in this day and age

I think its interesting that "desensitized" is a dirty word now. Like...when I did my therapy, being desensitized was the GOAL. It was the fucking dream.

But also, desensitization essentially gives you the agency to say, "okay so that felt bad, now I can either put it away, really explore and understand what that discomfort is trying to tell me, or discard it." Idk...some of yall are so fucking distressed all the time and you call it "being normal" or "being a decent human being" but...it isn't normal to be distressed all the time. It isn't decent to be distressed all the time. And like...I have disords and chemical shit going on in my brain but if you don't have all that....I think you need to look at your distress and ask why it is actually enduring and who benefits from you being distressed (lessons from a pre-bush era american).

One of the best writing advice I have gotten in all the months I have been writing is "if you can't go anywhere from a sentence, the problem isn't in you, it's in the last sentence." and I'm mad because it works so well and barely anyone talks about it. If you're stuck at a line, go back. Backspace those last two lines and write it from another angle or take it to some other route. You're stuck because you thought up to that exact sentence and nothing after that. Well, delete that sentence, make your brain think because the dead end is gone. It has worked wonders for me for so long it's unreal
