After re-reading Squeakers' Christmas over the holidays, I have decided that I need Lena Belle as an Alchemist hero immediately.
Thank you.

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti.

Truly the heroes we need during these times.

2025 has unequivocally been the most successful year of my life. Ten different countries, endless opportunities for work and a chunk of card games with more new friends than I could have asked for.
Happy New Year, everyone. I hope your 2026 is also bigger and brighter 🥰

There's something bleak about the fact that the quickest way for me to take public transport home got Christmas is to spend an hour and a half going the wrong way.

To be a little soppy for a moment:
Thanks for the constant love this year. It's been surprisingly hard to manage this much change (albeit *mostly* good) and I'm not sure I'd have managed it without so many people coming to bat for me.
Happy holidays, y'all. Love ya 💜

Was one of the lucky ones to get a ticket for Riftbound Regional Bologna, but I'm so disappointed that nearly every modern TCGs ticket sales are unapologetically a crapshoot.

Many feel devalued for their efforts and shellshocked by the change. I appreciate that people who don’t cosplay already may like this, but I do think you will see less higher effort cosplays at events going forward sadly which makes me sad as I enjoyed seeing the growth in skill year over year.

This... isn't my favourite change.
Taking away that "Stage Moment" from our performers and not rewarding those who go above and beyond seem like big misses, especially given that nobody knew Worlds was the "last time"
I also never got to host the cosplay contest, which frankly kinda sucks 😔

Today, I am extra grateful for all the places and people I've met thanks to the inexplicable magic of tiny cardboard squares.
I hope to meet more of you in wilder places next year 💜
