Raviyoli's Literatures
(2024) Cason Samwell, a photographer from Delaware, lives in a vicious cycle of overworking, social isolation, and sleep deprivation. And yet, he always makes time to ogle his wealthy, picture-perfect neighbor, Tobias Phillips, who likely doesn't remember he exists. Shortly after accepting the man was way out of his league, all hell broke loose, and the so-called rich guy found himself freeloading off the artsy guy in a rubber duck-covered tie, the close quarters only fueling Cason's obsession.
(2022-present) Oh lordy, the Splatoon brainrot is real in this one, broh. Each chapter is its own short story, but they're still meant to be read in chronological order. The story highlights how Raviyoli ended up moving to Splatsville after ruining his relationship with his best friend, and the chaos he faced once in...well, the City of Chaos itself.
(2023) Kaspian Xoldek, a Mzoi city boy, gets himself lost on Iinowae while trying to kick-start his journalism career. It's bad enough that the backward planet targets Xibagantans, but the Commander's not too keen on his authoritarian practices being published either. And to his poor luck, Kass unknowingly ends up in the backyard of his species' greatest enemy. But without having a name to a face, he wasn't "The Commander" to Kass. He was merely Eustace Cabuxiri.
(2023) An Irregular Iinowaen couple, Hiro and Yuki, take the plunge that most of their kind don't have the guts to do. Instead of giving up and becoming another execution statistic, they spend their whole childhood perfecting a plan to leave the galaxy in search of asylum. It's a 50/50 shot: Escaping the Commander's reign of tyranny and reaching Earth, or losing their lives even before leaving Iinowae's atmosphere. At this point, what's another risk?
(2020-2022) After being arrested right before graduating high school, Jean Asher, now in his early 20s, is getting back on his feet after his childhood sweetheart, Carter Hughes, bailed him out. While life seemed to be smooth sailing, life after incarceration is never easy, even if the love of your life has your back.
Each chapter of After Hours is its own short story, either preceding or following the events of Barcode Boy.
(2019/2022) Barcode Boy follows the story of Jean Asher, a young boy from Pennsylvania who ended his high school years behind bars after succumbing to his anger. Nevertheless, Carter Hughes, his childhood best friend, bailed him out as he couldn't imagine living without him. Despite their close bond in high school, Jean's secrets and suppressed feelings weakened their relationship. Even with a fresh start, he remained hesitant to reveal the truth. If only they could pick up where they left off.
(2021) Nick Acosta, a college sophomore struggling with work, relationships, and living on his own, appears to be using alcohol as his coping strategy. Yet to his luck, one intoxicated night, he meets Kyler Wells, a closeted upperclassman who, despite his array of friends and popularity, would rather devote himself to helping out his new undergraduate crush.
Welcome to the encyclopedia for the Delta Cider Galaxy (EST. 2017), home to Iinowae, Xibagantu, and a few other planets. There are a few short stories scattered within but most of it is, well, like an encyclopedia. If you're interested, I recommend checking out the primary documents first. (I'm currently too lazy to add every alien profile to the cast so just check the character tab below lol).
