they/them. 26. some nerd you found drifting through cyber-space. Actor, AP Performer, Photographer, sometimes 🔞
In one friend group, I'm the nerd yapping about a niche thing nobody else cares about. In another, I'm the lone person not yapping about the thing everyone else seems to love. In both i feel like I'm killing the vibes

Really maximizing the feeling of not being able to relate to people this year

every year I say "i need to run something" the exact moment we hit october-december, where everyone is already busy bc holidays and all my ttrpg space friends are also busy bc of PAX and other tabletop things held during this time

have to remind myself that if I cant fill a table, ppl are just busy

After 4 years of making this show, I've finally made a release schedule graphic. Who would have guessed people would want to know when the next episode comes out?

Any ways, we've got some horrifying things planned for you. 😘

I took both of these in the same location over a year apart with the same lens - one with the intention of being a bit more dreamy feeling, one more realistic, both affected by the texture and distortion of a lens that's older than me

An autopay transaction got me an overdraft charge and could really use some help. Just trying to get by before some client work kicks in. I would deeply appreciate any assistance.

The classic post-apocalyptic tokusatsu film Mechanical Violator Hokkaider, in the aftermath of recording Blood in the Snow, became a touchstone of the project for me

Sometimes a job typically reserved for a true hero falls into the hands of an anti-hero, a frightening dark protector
a statue of a man in a black suit is standing in front of a white wall .
Alt: Hokkaider from Mechanical Violator Hokkaider saying to the justice-obsessed christo-fascist villain the phrase "If you are justice, then I am evil," and causing one of the villain's flowers to burst into flames.

My ideal Action Sequence mechanics in a ttrpg would:

- not frame it through the lens of "how many actions per 5-10 seconds"
- be useful for nonviolent and nonlethal action
- isn't as cut and dry as Win or Lose
- still structured
- isn't built around the idea that every player must be involved

Hey gamers, without access to food stamps this month is going to be harder than it usually should. If you can share and donate I would greatly appreciate it.

There's a lot of stuff people say is "mainstream" now, but i dont think it's actually mainstream. I just think it's hypervisible. Being mainstream requires being understood as normal.

Thank you so much for the support so far!

I am almost to my first goal of $600 - anything to help me raise the last portion of this would help me for the rest of November.

Also, this is an ongoing fundraiser that would total to $2500 for the winter months. Thank you 🙏
