Welcome! I'm Viv.

I love weaving my own tales and immersing myself in stories crafted by independent creatives.

Manifesting a full-time career for me in 2026 where I curate and review indie media (games, films, books, etc) independently. I want to be purposeful with my time and uplift/highlight the works of creatives who pour their heart and soul into a project that has likely kept them sane and happy.

AI does offer high volume content but I offer something better: high stress content. I am the bearer of chaos. A prompt could never.

Putting this here in case anyone in the future needs/wants a clear message:

I am making the executive decision to merge CitruSEA and Aspective Media and put it all under Big Top Indies. Instead of them being their own separate entities, they will now be child brands, with BTI being the parent.

The moment I turned away from the belief that I have to be part of a media's fandom to enjoy it was the moment that I started having faith in (creative) humanity again.

Patreon + Ko-Fi will be coming back.

Outside of priority voting on games + other media to feature & review, there won't be any additional rewards - they will just be platforms for people to contribute to my growth as an indie media curator if they are able to.

Happy Holidays!

I've been living life offline, but I still think about my friends in the indie gaming/book/media spaces.

I hope you're all staying safe. ❤️

I've said this about 700 times and I'll say it again, Parfum Nostalgique (made by @princerosalium.bsky.social) has some of the most beautiful art I've ever seen. I need more like it. Someone throw a billion dollars at Rosario so they can bless us with more of their beautiful art okay thank you
