Hi, I'm Bobby Schroeder (she/her), an indie dev, writer, and furry artist from Florida. You may know me as the creator of Super Lesbian Animal RPG, or as the writer behind the Archie Sonic blog Thanks Ken Penders, or from any number of other side projects. This blog is the new home for my more formal writing—typically longform reviews of video games and cartoons and whatnot—and a smattering of other blog posts. Right now it's mostly a collection of things I previously posted to places like Medium, Tumblr, and Cohost (RIP), but moving forward it will be a home for original pieces as well. Enjoy!
My work is supported via my Patreon, where you can also read a bunch of behind-the-scenes deep dives about my game dev work.

In hindsight, the game that introduced me to the Kirby series was kind of a weird one.
