I wanted to address this considering I've had an interaction with @peachiseas before and it wasn't at all a good one.
For context, @gb-patch hired new sensitivity readers. And while most of these people are generally normal, one person in particular is being completely unprofessional. I will say my personal opinion on this but first I'd like to lay out the facts.
Here is Rose admitting to intentionally starting discourse.
Erasing Tamarack's identity as someone who loves more than one gender and a str
In this post are several things Rose said. But I also want to add these from my interaction I had with them.
If you can't figure out the problem with what's happening here, I'll be glad to fully explain it and give my own thoughts.
Rose is transphobic. In my opinion. This behavior is completely unacceptable.
First of all, who the hell talks to the person who hired them like that? Seriously? There's a way to criticize something that's misrepresented without being literally disrespectful.
Why are they purposely starting discourse? Why would you do that? Your JOB is to give actual feedback, not to just start drama. Again, it is literally unprofessional. Then they erased Tamarack's BISPEC identity. The game is supposed to cater to everyone. You can't expect people to only ship her with women or nonbinary people because SHE IS PANSEXUAL. It's honestly biphobic.
I also want to discuss my conversation with them. Saying that Terry is "sexualized" because he has clothing folds and hips is still the stupidest thing ever. Do you expect his hips to magically disappear? Is he only allowed to wear baggy shirts now? What a misguided idea of trans people. That they have to look a certain way to be trans. It's honestly disgusting. And then they called me racist and transphobic for saying something about it. They used the "I'm black and trans" thing, not realizing I'M black and trans. And why would that even matter anyway?
Oh, not to mention this. Definitely interesting! Wonder who we're talking about? Definitely not the person who hired you, right?
It's honestly just terrible behavior. I thought this was just a person I disagreed with, but no. They're an actual asshole. GBLady doesn't deserve this. She hired you so she could write better characters and represent cultures more faithfully. But instead you act like an absolute jerk. There needs to be something done about this.

A macro that allows readers to toggle for topics they find triggering/sensitive to hide them unless clicked/pressed. This simplifies the process by a lot, and comes with additional features!
For instructions, follow the link to the code above. Below, I will be explaining more in-depth about how it simplifies the process, and includes additional features. :)
Simplified how?
When you want to section off portions of the text as it has sensitive content, you may use an if condition to check if the reader is sensitive to it, followed by a linkreplace.
However, doing this multiple times can be exhaustive. It also likely requires you to copy the text twice, for both in the case the reader is sensitive, and the case they are not. This can be unwieldy if you have a lot of paragraphs or a big one. See example below.
Using the macro, however, you can shorten it to this:
Not only is this much more readable, it does not artificially inflate the word count of your game and take up space, and it is also much quicker to write!
And some other neat features...
Can section off only parts of a paragraph!
Content warning text is generated automatically, but can optionally be rewritten!
Content warnings only list sensitive topics relevant to the reader, even if that section has multiple other content warnings!

"if mushrooms are the superior lifeform that really calls the shots on this earth, why haven't they destroyed us yet?" listen to yourself. have we as humans gotten rid of every mountain on the planet just because we are smarter than big rocks? no!! because they don't pose a threat to us. sure some people die rock climbing or skiing and that's tragic but mountains aren't dangerous to us as a global society. do you see where i am going with this. it's your misplaced hubris that makes you think that humankind is worth destroying to a mushroom. we are a part of the mundane landscape on the surface. we pose no threat to the mycelian era. humble yourself
( Ioseph. Inspired by Eddie Redmayne in Savage Grace. I had him for a while now. Hesitated on making it into an IF because of his very nsfw, nsfl nature. It definitely wonāt be allowed on HoG, but I decided to take my chances with Itch.io. 18+, Viewer discretion Heavily advised, Content Warnings to the max. )
Moribund Manor. A horror survival interactive novel. Set in the turn of the century; year 2000, October.
The protagonist finds themself in possession of an Invitation after winning it in a scary short story contest from their small horror writing club.Ā āWe cordially invite you to a five night stay at Moribund Manorā. The letter goes on to describe a mysterious past tragedy and subsequent hauntings. A horror themed retreat. A perfect opportunity to overcome writerās block.
Characters will be MC, a fellow winner from the club (one of two ROs, depends on MCās vote in the contest. One is a found footage/ paranormal investiagtion nerd and the other is a goth anime/manga horror/guro fan), and three other guests; a homophobic middle aged man and a straight couple, and the eccentric host; Ioseph.
Iāve already stated itās a horror survival. People are going to die, and the order of their death will depend on the choices MC makes. MC themself may not survive (donāt worry, Iāll implement saves). The longer a character survives, the more you get to see of their perspectives and intimate fears.
Itāll be something of a nostalgia for both mainstream classic horror and underground sex horror. Itāll have some perverse, depraved, and even grotesque scenes. I wonāt go full on exploitative genre -- I cannot stomach that, nor do I want to. But considerinig how tame IF usually is, Iāll be slapping on as many warnings as possible. The thing I can never handle in horror is loved ones/pets being hurt and not being able to do anything about it. I absolutely hate it when itās played for horror. Iāll try to avoid that, but if MC gets attached to someone, and they happen to die... oh well. Nothing I can do about that.
For above reasons and because itās not the focus, there wonāt be romance deeply formed enough to be love -- all the characters are ones mc has only met recently. But there will be opportunities for a budding romance with the fellow club member, and many opportunities for casual sex with almost everyone.

Um. I saw some posts so⦠My fell star mc Ein. @fell-star-if
I adore the lunacy powers. I feel like⦠lunacy is in a way confronting the unstable, subjective, and unknowable nature of reality head on and revelling in it. Maybe itās a sign of madness on my part but I think you could call it a peak form of sanity. āNo virtue you heroes hold on to are immutably real. Just let go and float awayā. Very post modern, yes yes š Itās why I gave them many eyes
This passage about rain from Raids on The Unspeakable (Thomas Merton) reminds me of Alphons.
Think of it: all that speech pouring down, selling nothing, judging nobody, drenching the thick mulch of dead leaves, soaking the trees, filling the gullies and crannies of the wood with water, washing out the places where men have stripped the hillside! What a thing it is to sit absolutely alone, in the forest, at night, cherished by this wonderful, unintelligible, perfectly innocent speech, the most comforting speech in the world, the talk that rain makes by itself all over the ridges, and the talk of the watercourses everywhere in the hollows!
Nobody started it, nobody is going to stop it. It will talk as long as it wants, this rain. As long as it talks I am going to listen.
Part of the Shene world. Maybe will take place in the same story as the parasite IF. Maybe Iāll make this one into an IF too. Weāll see how the RP goes.
These seasonal sand and dust storms are giving me an idea.
Imagine a glowing mushroom forest in some area of the world, and when seasonal wind that happens to coincide with breeding blows the colorful bioluminescent spores travel to neighbouring countries, making the sky glow and glitter.
Could make it a whole festival. The protective masks and goggles could have evolved into a full blown carnival costume.
Yeah Iām adding this to the blind seer story, since itās France/Germany/Italy inspired.

Premise: Seer navigates space through a series of rapid predictions. Uses it to join vigilantism.
Aesthetics: 18th century France/Holy Roman Empire/Italy inspired
Genre: Vigilante
Four main noble houses, easily discernible by appearance. Each may have a āChosenā. Depending on the house; The Conduit, The Master, The Shifter, The Seer.
//Ā ReligionĀ //
Ā Heaven and Hell are morally equal, balance of the two is encouraged as humans are believed to be a product of both. Heaven (Divinity) represents the beyond human comprehension. The vastness of universes. Otherworldy. In the Grand Scale, human emotions and social constructs matter not. Objectivity becomes the obvious choice. Hell (Carnality) is down to earth. Very Worldly. All about the human things; Emotions and Power.
// Houses //
First house: Represents Divinity.
Genetic Traits: Presence, Divine sense (connection to the ābeyondā), Iridescent opal white irises.
Tradition: Law, Fairness, Priests of Divinity. Are pressured to let go of carnality and find divine zen state and pure objectivity.
House Colours: Shades of White (opal, silk etc)
Chosen: The Conduit. Rare. May happen to an adult who has crossed the threshold of Divinity. Change is mentally/spiritually painful and takes days, experiences pure terror and awe, may not survive. Pupil disappears. Loses humanity. Experiences senses and knowledge humans arenāt meant to experience. Like a single photon, everything is at once. Becomes invincible, but not immortal (The body requires nothing, but the spirit burns out eventually and dies). Near catatonic state, but may have lucid moments to give sage advice. Treated as a living God. Unlike others of the house, ranks above royalty.
Second House: Represents Carnality.
Genetic Traits: Presence, Allure, Astute in sensing the map of Power. Grey eyes with a single crimson line streaking across each iris.
Tradition: Carnality, Pleasure, Power, Economy and Politics.
House Colours: Shades of Red, Black, Grey
Chosen: The Master. Rare. May happen to an adult who has fully embodied the spirit of Hell. Change is physically painful and takes days. Grows horns, fangs, and tail. Ability to make others obey (not too many at the same time though), strong allure. Treated as a living God. Like the Conduit, ranks above royalty.
Third House: The Owls
Genetic Traits: High intelligence when it comes to understanding how things work, superior memory. Arcana aptitude. Eyes are shades of dark blue and purple with white speckles like a starry night sky.
Tradition: House of Scholars and Inventors. Astronomy. Arcane magic.
House Colours: Shades of blue and purple, silver and bronze accents
Chosen: The Seer. May happen to one at 8~10 years old. Happens every few generations, never more than two seers exist at the same time. Pupil disappears as iris takes over the whole eye, leaving one blind. Can make accurate predictions on simple things like coin tosses. Further and more complicated predictions are difficult, but sometimes a clear prophecy is given.
Fourth House: The Wolves
Genetic Traits: Strength, Agility, Combat aptitude, Pale hair, Sky blue + amber partial heterochromia
Tradition: Soldiers, Guards.
House Colours:
Chosen: The Shifter. Born that way. Full heterochromia. Ability to shift into large canine form. Relatively common.
//Ā GeneticsĀ //
Ā Born between main houses -> trait follows either one of the houses or a mixture of both. If mix, child of mix will follow the non-mix parentās trait. If both are mix, child will also be a mix. / Born between main noble and non-main -> trait follows main house
///Ā CharactersĀ //
Ā The Jester (Royal Jester/Spy Master/Talent Recruiter/Theatre Patron. Also paramour of both the King and Queen), The Genius (āDivine candid libertineā. Musician. Minor noble, friend of MC), The Servant (MCās personal servant since childhood, fashion geek but has to wear a servantās outfit), The Rogue (charming rogue archetype, quips, eyepatch), and more.
