Hi, I’m Allison!

Here’s the things I usually post or talk about:
- Memes and jokes 🤣
- My nerdy interests 🎮
- Painting Warhammer minis 🖌️
- My writing journey 📖
- Astronomy 🔭
- My cat, Elsie 🐈

On top of that, I always strive to be positive and uplifting. But be warned, there’s occasional chaos too!

Okay, stayed up late to paint. Should probably go to bed now.

Inspiration for this model 👇

The more people act horrible to others in my nerd spaces, the more I want to make things there to try and bring a little light. Art, tutorials, whatever I can. I'm time poor and mainly working on DnD related stuff atm, but I want to get back into it. Need to finish this fan art also.

A warhammer mini—a space marine captain with a notably feminine head, wielding a bolter and power fist, and painted in Crimson Fists chapter colours, mostly dark blue with mauve/red details.

Oh no, I watched the film like a dozen times when I was younger! I did completely miss the radio and tv series, though.

Considering I never finished it the first time found, I’m giving it another go on a whim. My next read!

For context, in my PhD I was studying asteroids.

I earned that PhD, I was a good girl for that PhD, I spent a whole year indoors avoiding the plague for that PhD, I willingly moved to Milton Keynes for that PhD, I transed my gender for that PhD…

Proof of friendship:

The same black and white tuxedo cat as above, now rubbing up against my leg as I pet its back.

Made a cat friend while I was out as well!

Caught a sunset!

A photo of a sunset over the lake on a hazy evening. The sun sits just above the silhouetted trees in the far shore, illuminating the sky in a golden glow and casting a column of light across the rippling water surface.

This would VERY well if flirting with me.

Went out for a walk earlier. Not so much sun today but the colours of autumn more than made up for it!

Trans books. They’re awesome.

The one with the magic girls? It rocks.

Greek god mechs? Bangin’.

Badass lady Achilles? Epic.

And the force-femme basement? Totally underground!

Not so much I’m afraid—while I have read memoirs in the past, my hunger is for fiction!

That being said, I’m curious to hear what you were thinking of?
