I've been super inspired by emma bers and decided to use playdoh in my graphic design. The goal was to invoke some sort of fucked up childhood by making playdog sculpts and punching them with the full force of my estrogenated fist.

Return to Lilancholy, with new writing, new layout, and new art, OCTOBER 18th!

If you like fairies, childhood trauma, and that sinking feeling that you've ruined your entire life and when you trace it back it leads to this one strange interaction you had as a kid, then you'll love this~

yeah, I think there's so many cool ways to think about ttrpgs in this fashion, and art is a huge one.

I've been working on an essay about The Struggles of TTRPG Outreach and Fandom but I think this tumblr post just captured the whole sentiment im like 100 words.

Fact: Apart from pure recognition factor, one of the major reasons your fanart gets more eyes on it than your OCd is because people are perverts for narrative context, and your OCs don't have any.

Corollary: you don't actually need to write a whole-ass graphic novel to achieve that narrative context. You do need to know what your OC's story is, but once you do, you can literally just draw contextless snapshots from that story that raise more questions than they answer and people will fill in the blanks.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Anyways, I've been designing games for almost 10 years at this point and it's really cool to meet new people and stuff, especially with all the folks you lose between switching platforms.

I'm snow, I'm trans, I'm hot, and yeah, check my stuff out <3

Lilancholy is back in a new paperback printing! I'll be running a small, short backerkit campaign in TWO SATURDAYS to raise the funds for it. It features new layout from me, removing the old layout artist completely, a new forward by me, and it won't have my deadname on it anymore :3

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.
