Happy July!
I haven't done a proper news update in a while, so I wanted to touch base again. I also decided to do something a little different with this month's news update!
For those that are subscribed, there's an ASMR audio version of this post! I had greater aspirations for it, such as actually doing the reading in VR and recording it, but in the middle of setting up and testing, my Index died. Like, died-died. I'm pretty sure it's a break in the cable. 7 years of regular use will do that, though. The good news is I've bought a friend's used Index, though I won't have it for a few weeks. I decided to just go ahead with an audio-only version since I didn't want to wait weeks to do a news post!
First up, I'll be doing some basic housekeeping this week, such as refreshing passwords on various archives. Nothing major, just a heads up for the $5/10 tier patrons that they'll need to check Discord for the updated passwords sometime this week.
Next, I'm slowly bringing an assistant onboard to help me with a few things. For now it'll be helping me organize myself, working on my stream VOD channel, crossposting my work (whether it be samples or releases) to other sites, and perhaps eventually aiding me in the editing process for animations.
On the subject of animations, they're still on the way... I have a hefty backlog of things ready to be worked on, I just honestly haven't had the energy. That's where the assistant comes into things, though. Once I've got less on my mind, I'll feel better about working on things other than just writing & recording.
For now, I've been posting small, silly little anims to my twitter & bsky to get my head back in the game a bit. Nothing crazy, but if you want to see them, check out the Media tabs on those accounts. I don't post a ton of bullshit, so they're very near the top of the tab!

Something else that has been on my mind has been reopening my Marshmallow for anonymous Q&A stuff! I kind of have this in discord for patrons with the feedback channel, but I wanted to do something a bit more public as well.

I've got some old questions on here (like, 2+ years old) I never answered that I might go back and reply to as well. Do note that anything you submit may be replied to publicly, but it is anonymous. The last time I opened this I got a lot of good questions, but I also got some really abusive messages too, so I've been hesitating to take public Q&A again.
Moving on, I want to talk about the list of active projects I'm working on, where they're at and what you can expect in the future. As with anything, these are all subject to my mood, energy and whims. I don't often talk about some of these because I don't want someone to get super hyped for one of the ideas and then I don't do it for a year or something.
As I've mentioned before, I've got a few half-finished audios. Wolf MILF knotting, which is a futa audio, obviously. I've got another audio of Hisame that's short and sex-focused with a little touch of lore and character building, but more on the porn side. Then I've got a completely nsfw-focused, short audio that Fleur wrote involving an alien girl convincing you to take off your suit and let her play with you. These are all pretty close so I'm not going to go into deep detail on them right now, as you'll get to find out more about them soon enough. There's also the dom demon queen audio from before that I still have on the docket for a futa-on-listener edit.
Then, I've got a bunch of scenarios that haven't had audio work started yet. Some are written, some are still being written, others are just a vague concept.
I want to bring back the Fox Priestess and do a few audios for her. Something short as an intro to her being in the setting, and fill out a bit more lore. I updated her design, which you saw in a prior post, and the idea for her script is basically 'you're looking for a healer for your party, she replies to the listing and then you fuck to seal the deal'.
I have a completely finished script for a big titty dragon MILF that you wake up to stop the impending end of the world and she's like, 'oh if i was revived with this type of body i suppose i'm intended to help with repopulation as well'. This isn't in my fantasy setting, just a one-off. Or I guess I could say it's in setting, just displaced from the current timeline I'm writing in.
Next, I've started fleshing out the western part of the continent, where the map doesn't exist yet. That doesn't mean I'll stop working on the current region, just that I'm thinking about more of the world.
I've got two scripts taking place out there. The first is being interrogated by an inquisitor lady and convinced to join up with her for the greater good of the people. I've posted her design in discord, not sure if I shared it on here or not. This one is almost fully written.
The other is that you're a prince/princess and you've snuck out of town to give away military secrets to the big titty futa orc MILF in exchange for being made her pet and getting dicked down. I've had some trepidation about this in discord from people that don't like typical orc portrayals, but I'm confident in the spin I put on it. This one is almost fully written, too.
Back to the main region, I've got a half-written script for my terrestrial harpy girl Safi. I am pretty sure I've posted her design on here. This is another futa-on-listener audio, with a decent amount of lore to it. This takes place in the desert, which will make some people happy to revisit.
I've got an idea for Mercuria where you visit her massage parlor, in the fantasy setting, and she gives you a back massage while some of her 'trainees' milk your dick through a hole in the massage table.
I intend to bring the Ink Kitsune back by reworking her into my setting. It won't be a sequel to the original, but a reimagining of her. That isn't to say she'll change immensely, just that she'll be adapted to the setting the way I am doing Mercuria and the fox priestess.
I also had a dream that stuck with me, about being trapped in a magically sealed cave with a demon girl that sleeps amongst a field of blue flowers. I don't have any details beyond that, but the dream struck me so much that I put it directly into the work folder.
Thinking about another lamia asmr as well, taking place in the swampy regions of my setting, so I can explore that region a bit more. Not a ton in my mind yet other than wrapping around you and milking your dick (and maybe doing a version where she has a double-dick and puts it in you).
There's also a drippy, inky, latex gothic-lolita styled girl I posted either in discord or on patreon that I am working on a scenario for, but I honestly feel like I can do more with her than just an ASMR video, so I've held off on putting too much time into the idea until I get other things done and decide on what to do with her.
Fleur has also handed me something like five or six scripts that I've read, approved, and want to work on, but just haven't done anything with other than saved them. Her stuff is usually a bit of a different vibe than what I write, but she is basically responsible for the recent Wolf MILF, so if you liked that then I hope you'll like her other writing too. They're all generally shorter scenarios, so I'm not going to go too into detail on this news post.
This isn't EVERYTHING I've got on my project list, there's a bunch of things that are in a folder with a paragraph concept at most, but these are all just things I've started or thought about actively starting.
Lastly, I've had Pride refreshing some of my old OCs and designing new ones! Here's a bunch of art, some of which I've shared in discord, and some I haven't shared at all! Some of these have concepts for an audio written down already, but most don't. Sometimes the idea comes first and the art later, and other times it happens the other way around.
Some of these may already have been posted on here, sorry if I have any repeats!
Kejoro Girl (part of Mercuria's new monster girl 'massage parlor')
Plant Alien Girl (for an upcoming audio that Fleur wrote, I'll include other versions of her after that releases)
Dragon MILF (for audio mentioned above)
Tired Vampire NEET (for a future audio that i am still concepting, i think i posted all her variants in discord)
Gyaru Cat (not really for an audio, just a personal OC i want to get more porn of. maybe an audio later if i can get the voice right)
Half-Dragon Adventurer Lady (refresh of an old OC of mine, no concept yet, she has a dick)
Kitsune Lady (no concept yet, refresh of an old OC)
Vampire Doctor (has a concept, nothing written yet)
This isn't everything I've got in my back pocket. There's more that I don't plan on posting directly on the patreon currently, or that I just forgot to post, haha. I've got some of those in the Patron Discord, but they aren't really organized or anything. I know I've said it before, but even when I'm quiet and not doing regular news updates, I've got SOMETHING cooking, and I'm pretty good at posting about my status in discord.
Anyway, that's all for now! Thanks for listening, and thank you for supporting me! I will keep working hard to catch up on audios.
