(She/Her) Trans Empress and Gin-drinking Calligraphist. TTRPG player, amateur writer, and aspiring immortal witch.

If you are interested is some custom Calligraphy pieces shoot me a DM.
PAX Unplugged was such a wonderful time this year. Stacks of liteRPGs that inspire creativity. Panels on worldbuilding culture, religions, morality, villains, building monsters and ecology around them. Meeting interesting people, and fantastic vibes.🥰

Will I be at PAX Unplugged 2026? Absolutely!

The last panel I went to at #PAXU was about world building for avoiding narrative railroading. It was a super interesting discussion and really inspired me to start getting back to writing for my world. No matter how much I want to run some #TTRPG sessions or write stories I can't if I don't write.

Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45.

It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you.

Embrace your passion.

I have returned from the camping! Tents, campfires, nature sounds, bathing in the river, eating good food, keeping good company, scribbling in a journal, and disconnecting from this ridiculous world to do bear things. A much needed reset to the brainsmeats.

This is hard for me, because I don't generally post my art since I'm self conscious about it... but it occurs to me that I'm not the only one who may feel this way sometimes. Just a reminder to not let yourself be bullied by your inner demons. Be kind to yourself, ok?

Finally made the call to the probate court to find out what I need to get my name legally changed. Seems like I will be starting next year with a name change.
