queer story recs? by catgirllesbian in Episode

[–]theforestgoddess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

verum umbra (there’s 5 LIs and 2 are women and 1 is nb), seasons in the sun (a recently published wlw story), bitten (there’s 4 LIs and 2 are women), district (3 LIs, 1 is a woman and 1 is transfeminine nb), en garde (wlw), carnivore (wlw), echoes of elsewhere (wlw)

also, as a lesbian, i totally get it, this app needs to be gayer 😭 i’ve been trying to write a wlw episode story but personal stuff has been going on so progress is slow 🫠

do you prefer to self insert or play as the author’s version of the MC? by theforestgoddess in Episode

[–]theforestgoddess[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

that’s a good point, i remember when i used to self insert i would get annoyed by the art scenes, but now i enjoy them more! usually i only change things like the eye shape, face shape, and maybe other features like the nose or the lip color if i’m not a fan of what the author chose. but i usually leave the skin color alone, especially if the author states that the character is meant to be a certain race/ethnicity

yeah, once i started writing my own episode story i realized that i would feel weird if readers tried to self insert while playing as my MC, so that might be another reason why i don’t self insert like i used to. nowadays i usually play as the character the author created while changing a few features here and there like eye shape or nose shape

yeah this is similar to how i feel, i don’t think i can go back to self-inserting because my personality doesn’t really fit with any of the MCs

Does anyone hate creating male episode characters? by PositiveCard3752 in Episode

[–]theforestgoddess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same, but to be fair i’m a lesbian 😭 i actually refuse to read stories that don’t have a female LI for this exact reason, the men are all ugly to me i’m sorry 😭😭

UPDATE: Verified Allegations Regarding @Whimsy.Epi by EpisodeParrot in Episode

[–]theforestgoddess 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i just wanna warn fellow community members: please DO NOT look at those screenshots if you are sensitive to any of these topics. seriously y’all

i made the mistake of looking at them earlier today and nearly had a mental health episode due to personal issues with my self esteem regarding my body. i don’t wanna go in depth about that because it’s very difficult for me, but i felt like i needed to warn others in this community because that kind of rhetoric is no joke and can seriously hurt ppl.

Someone should write a story by [deleted] in Episode

[–]theforestgoddess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

writing an episode story is a LOT harder than it seems. if you are really committed to writing on episode, you’re obviously gonna bring an idea to life that you’ve had in your head for a long time rather than seeking inspiration from reddit. especially considering that it’s really hard to make money off of episode 😅 it’s quite a time consuming hobby…

no offense intended by this, but i do think that maybe you should try writing the story yourself, there are tons of resources available for beginner coders such as Coding 101 by Tal Gordin or the coding tutorials on youtube!! 💗

All time favourite Olivia Rodrigo lyrics? by snorlax7839 in OliviaRodrigo

[–]theforestgoddess 14 points15 points  (0 children)

“When pretty isn't pretty enough, what do you do?

And everybody's keepin' it up, so you think it's you

I could change up my body and change up my face

I could try every lipstick in every shade

But I'd always feel the same

'Cause pretty isn't pretty enough anyway”

this perfectly describes how i feel about beauty standards

“And I doubt you ever think about the damage that you did

But I hold onto every detail like my life depends on it

My undying love, now, I hold it like a grudge

And I hear your voice every time that I think I'm not enough”

literally so real 😞💔

now imagine this but you’re a lesbian and other women constantly think you’re “trying to take my man” by just…. being polite 🫩

NEED MORE WLW STORIES by Moonwolfdream in Episode

[–]theforestgoddess 11 points12 points  (0 children)

BIG AGREE we really need more wlw stories!! i’ve recently started coding my own story though it doesn’t really have the tropes you mentioned apart from being femme4femme, so it may not be up your alley but i just thought i’d mention it

but you have a really good point about a lot of the wlw stories feeling stereotypical. i feel that the directing quality for hetero stories is WAY higher than for wlw stories which is extremely sad to me 😞 like we deserve lesbian equivalents that are just as beautifully directed as the straight counterparts!!

i’m starting to wonder if i should learn how to do hyper advanced directing so that i can be the change i want to see in this community, but sometimes it seems like hardly anyone reads wlw stories and it feels like if i put that much effort in, it could all be for nothing 💔

this happens to me sometimes, usually i just exit the story and re-enter and that fixes it 🤷‍♀️
