Sea Thomas is truly THE pioneer of dramaturgy and narrative design in Actual Play to me (and notoriously shy about accepting recognition) so I need everyone to give them their flowers!! 🌸

I really hate asking this, esp before the holiday, but I’m having an emergency. My filling broke and I have a painful abscess that needs immediate care. I don’t have dental insurance and could really use a hand. I’m so sorry to ask. I can barely eat or sleep. #mutualaid

Spoilers- Spider-Man: No Way Home. Just had a flashback, while watching Spider-Man: No Way Home. I literally started crying as soon as Aunt May said “with great power comes great responsibility “ and the kid is looking at me sobbing like nothing happened. I knew she was about to die, right then.

What's up, y'all! I'm Quinn, a writer and TTRPG designer with a knack for horror—but I can tackle any genre/format you throw my way. I'm on the lookout for paid writing gigs, big or small. My turnaround time is pretty quick, and my rates? Honestly, probably too low.
