Hey, I'm Frey.

I'm a reluctantly American artist/writer who moonlights in IT. I like to shitpost about video games, my various travels, and Per Aspera ad Astra, the queer fantasy story I create with my partner @quintelance.bsky.social.💜

Cara: cara.app/cosmichorr0r...

An ornate black, gold and amethyst encrusted sword and shield, resting against each other.

a sketch of Koru and Astra, two male demons, kissing in the pose depicted in “Il Bacio” by Francisco Hayez (1859), as part of the #KissArtFebruary challenge started by Violette Nouvelle. Koru has his back to the viewer, and an arm on Astra's shoulder, while Astra holds Koru's head in his hands and has a foot up on an implied stair to one side. Art by @quintelance. Characters belong to us both.

A drawing of Enceladus and Vesta in bed, cast in moonlight. Vesta appears to be half asleep, but raises one of his many arms to stroke Enci's face, who looks over him protectively, holding him gently, another arm holding one of his on the pillow. Art by @quintelance. Characters belong to us both.

A drawing of Vesta and Vex, two male demons with long dark hair that blends in together between them. Vesta tilts his head with a rueful smile towards the other, almost as though he's going in for a kiss, with one hand reaching up to his face, but within it are two graphic golden lines, mirroring the border of the piece, as though he's driving a blade into Vex's heart. Vex grins back at him, at ease, as though willing him to come closer. The background is notably darker on Vex's side of the piece. Art by @quintelance. Characters below to us both.

Yesterday (and the evening prior) was travel day. After eight long months of wrapping up my life in America, packing everything I own into 4 suitcases and mailing the rest over in 10 boxes, I left to rejoin @quintelance.bsky.social in Finland.

I'm finally here, and I'm not leaving this time.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Spotify has the WORST audio quality out of every other streaming platform

It is also the most expensive

They support Joe Rogan

Apple and amazon let you upload your own files to the library.

Tidal and Apple have spatial audio even on PC (need atmos+AC3)

There is no reason to use spotify

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

Heal

A black and white drawing of a character with curly horns and long dark hair worn in two loose braids, surrounded by a forest background and a decorative frame. There's a scar running across their mid chest and ribs. The character is gently holding their hands over the scar, with a calm expression on their face, eyes closed.

Listen, I really love being connected with everyone but it is starting to seem any social media out there just forgets that Nazis are bad and marginalized folks are culture as soon as they hit a dozen million users.

Hmm. I think it's finally time to give CR a try, especially with the start of a new campaign.

I have a longhaul flight this week, so that might be what I watch during my layover.

It can be incredibly hard to see your progress when recovering from depression or burnout. The whole world keeps demanding certain benchmarks of you to the point that it’s easy to feel like a failure despite your hard work. Remember your progress is your own journey. Every win means something.
