Music dingus. I do Dungeon Synth as Vaelastrasz and sometimes I do other things.

It is bandcamp Friday and as some of you have seen, I have a new album out.

Death In Its Decadence, a temporary departure from pure dungeon synth to focus more on lyric-driven melancholy and folk instrumentation.

I hope you all enjoy the new album.

Just watched the Pluribus pilot again + 1 year of Arcane 2

I am moving on from my problematic wlw ship (Cops) to another problematic wlw ship (allegory for AI)

Sucks to hear what happened to Vice President Cheney. We used to jerk it to yaoi back in the day. Fudanshi Dick is what we called him. He's gooning with the best of 'em now.

here’s your sunday read: how fossil fuel ads, islamophobia and self-hatred in the beltway press corpse led me to write “horseglue,” a two-minute clarion call for accountability in the mainstream media.

if it bleeds, it leads. here we go 🖤

In almost forever, I've uploaded a new mashup.

What does cult favorite German neofolk artist Forseti and once-beloved-now-chopped-to-bits pop star Katy Perry have in common?

People like to bring up stuff like the MCU and the Big Bang Theory as reasons for the death of proper nerd culture, which makes sense, but you can make a strong case that the late 2000s/early 2010s prevalence to make fun of anything 'cringe' was also a key contributor

Hails, friends

It is bandcamp Friday. Any support in this case would help tremendously as I face the idiotic, looming hospital bills from my recent bout with appendicitis.

You can support my projects here.

And of course, Hail Vael.

The other night I was arguing with someone at the gay club in chinatown because they told me season 2 of Arcane was better than season 1; the argument was taken place right next to a big vagina-shaped bed

Elyvilon is an honorary t-boy when he hangs with the girlies (the t stands for Tristan)
Finally posting pics from Dungeon Siege West. Most dungeon synth feats feel very alienating to me, and this was no exception, but there were moments with dear friends that I will cherish til the grave.

If I had a nickel for every animated movie about pop idols that had a character named Rumi in it, I'd have two nickels.

She's collecting all the 2010s 'metal adjacent' girlies

In another life Ethel would've been on a list titled "top 10 'female-fronted female metal' bands you should check out" published in 2015

She's getting 2 secret sets at Roadburn and making a statement about why she left Sargent House
