Basic Blog Information:

Hey there, Anon!

Not a dumb question at all! Now that you mention it, I probably should put up a note in the FAQ.

As for your question, I, unfortunately, can't provide an ETA. I had hoped to be well into release by now, but shortly after I first made the blog and announced the games I got hit with some major health crisis. I've essentially been bedridden this entire time, so production more or less halted on like... everything. I'm literally more than a year behind my original schedule.

That all being said, however, I can at least say that I am finally, finally doing better. I've been able to get out of bed more in the past few weeks, and have had some energy back. I don't want to make promises yet, but my hope is that this spells good things and progress in the near future.

Would you guys be interested in the complete dictionaries and grammar rules for the various languages I've made for TTO? I'm also working on developing unique alphabets for them, which I will be able to turn into useable fonts. I can also make the fonts available for you guys, too, if there's interest?

Aw, Anon.🥺

I am so sorry that you've had to go through these things. I definitely understand the feeling of 'this is my parent who raised me' and the responsibility and obligation that can come with it, but if you'll pardon me for being forward, I think it's always important to say this much, too: she may be your mother, but that doesn't give her the right to have treated you in this way or to have disregarded your feelings.

You are absolutely allowed to feel angry and hurt over it, and you are in no way obligated to forgive her. And, feeling this way does not make you a bad person or ungrateful child. You're a human being, and both now as an adult and back then as a child, you deserve to be treated with the respect and understanding that all people have the right to.

Thank you for feeling comfortable reaching out to vent, and I want you to know that there is nothing wrong with you or how you feel about all this. There are people out there who understand your struggle, and you are most certainly loved and supported just as you are!

God this is a mood. I had the same reaction when it came to my own diagnosis. 😂

Hello, my loves!

I am writing this post because I realized I made a mistake, and I wanted to let you all know that I recognized my error and have made changes to fix it, as well as wanting to issue an apology to anyone my mistake my have harmed or made uncomfortable.

The mistake in question was using language on the introduction post for TMP that was unintentionally othering towards trans people. Namely, that I did not specifically list the cis characters, but did specify which character was trans. After reading several opinions on the matter, as well as having personal discussions on it, I realize now how hurtful and othering this kind of language is and I am deeply sorry for perpetuating the behavior with my post.

After listening to several opinions on the matter, I have opted to edit the post to specify all the character’s genders, rather than entirely removing specifications. My hope with this approach is to not only remove any othering language or implications, but also to satisfy those who like seeing trans characters represented in intro-type posts at-a-glance. However, the discussion is not closed, and if there are any questions or concerns about my approach to this, I encourage you to reach out to me! My inbox and messenger are always open!

In closing, I want to say that I am definitely still learning, both in regard to my personal experience with gender, as well as with how language is evolving to be more inclusive, and I’m grateful that I’ve had this opportunity to learn more (even if I regret it came about in a way that may have hurt people). I want to assure everyone that I will now, and always, endeavor to keep learning and to implement this knowledge into my life and works so that everyone can feel welcome and safe.
