#nauticalnightmares

In honor of the traction Nautical Nightmares has been receiving I decided to make this piece of the illustrious Nanno herself taking center stage!

Bonus version under the cut! But thank y’all for your continued support! 💖

I am floating on cloud nine right nowwwww

It's a great month to be Black, Queer, and Caribbean!! Y'all can't tell me shit!! I look forward to posting even more of all my beautiful Afro-Caribbean queer characters so stay tuned!!

I want to take this time to again talk about Nautical Nightmares! For those who don't know me yet, I'm a Black queer creative that made a psychological horror visual novel game called Nautical Nightmares Requiem! It's a murder mystery with a unique premise, and the prologue is out and free on itch.io right now so check it out!

Since it's Pride, I wanted to highlight the fact that my game actually features queer characters...in fact...all the characters in my game are queer! All except one! We got lesbians, we got genderqueers, we got transfems and transmascs!!! AND....

We got Asexual/Aromantic representation.

Of course, like I said, only the prologue out so far, but KNOW that when you play, these characters are in fact gay! And boy does that matter!

If you wanna make MY day as a Black AND queer individual, consider dropping a donation in my ko-fi, or taking the time to play my game! Both links are in my pinned post!

“Tonight you are NANNO MAKOK…and you have a dinner party to attend…”

With all the splashes being made in the indie sphere, I wanted to take the time to self promo once again because I too am an indie creator of color!

Nautical Nightmares Requiem is the game I’ve made, available on itch.io and free to download! (Though donations are appreciated💖). The first chapter prologue is available for any to play, though a maturity warning is advised!

As a black creative, I want to be apart of the creation of more of the content that I want to see in the world. I want POC characters that are fleshed out! I want nuanced conversations about mental health, intersectionality, and system oppression! I want Yuri!!

Well a large bulk of my inspiration is that I wanted to see POC represented in different art styles across history, to show that we were always here and will always continue to be here. I wanted to make a game that I'd enjoy playing, with all the aesthetics and guilty pleasures that I'd have fun drawing and writing about.

I used to roleplay a lot when I was in middle school and high school (still do but I stick to my close friends haha) and I hopped through a lot of different fandoms. If I told you where this idea started it may shock you, but let's just say it went through A LOT of changes. It took a lot of work to unpack the ways roleplaying through Discord had stunted me. I was a black queer in fandom then, and I'm still a black queer in fandom now.
