You're probably here for one of three reasons: you wanna read stories, you wanna read blog posts (usually about stories or video games) or you have literally no idea how you got here.
In any of these three incredibly specific scenarios, I've got you. Looking for dark mode? You have to earn it. It's a privilige only for enlightened individuals. ...Nah I'm just playin', check the bottom of the page. Give light mode a try sometimes though! It was the first style I designed and I think it's pretty! Every box is partially colored with natural colors. We abducted 'em from their free range pasture, dude.
The story section has a bunch of cool options for you to customize your viewing experience. I care about your eyes, and also your aesthetic preferences. You can find more of my rambling in the blog section, and you can learn way too much about me in the about section. Internet security hazard? Maybe. Stylish? Definitely.
Oh, and you can learn about my very-produced super projects under the books section. I'm still kinda figuring out what exactly I want my professional writing repetoire to look like, and it'll be a hot minute 'till it's populated... I'll make sure to update this description when I get that ball rolling.
I figured I'd write a news post that wasn't my somewhat lengthy and abstract one about the nature of self-fulfilling prophecies, expectations and the coming global distrust epidemic. I don't know that last one for sure, but I've got a mighty big hunch!
We're approaching enough polish on the story system for me to slap together a fan blog website. But I'm not sure how I wanna style it...
My writing serves two purposes. One: being funny and a generally interesting window into different cultures and people. Two: an exploration and commentary on the mechanics and problems associated with how people regulate their own identities. The boundaries which people with strong personalities must maintain, and the irony behind how unenviable yet coveted their positions are.
If the 2000s were defined by experimental CG music videos and post-90s pop music, the 2010s were defined by twenty year old dudes on YouTube playing video games and just killing time. It was an optimistic time. I'd know it quite well, because this twenty year period was my childhood, and remains my home.
For added context, I also spent a lot of time as a teenager on flash game websites, ROBLOX, and as an adolescent, Disney's ToonTown Online. These experiences, both social yet shallow, built the foundation beneath my understanding of people. It was very urban in spirit— and I might agree in that sense that the internet was always like "a city block." With so many people in one place, how could it ever be anything but?
As a child without standards, I stumbled into everything. It was not to escape boredom, but to embrace it. In the words of William Blake, "if the fool would persist in their folly, they would become wise." But I could never ask other people to fuck around and find out the way I did. I only did it because that's where I was in life. This process taught me about all the choices I have the power to make, and for a time I used this knowledge as social leverage. It's very easy to be confident about your own ability to learn things.
That's why I want to write stories that are high in contrast. Something that captures that spontaneous and experimental element for others, without people having to change themselves just to get it. Sad, happy, normal and weird, contrast doesn't write itself. So I'm also gonna be blogging about all kinds of stuff. There'll probably be a focus on the internet and writing.
Be on the look-out for my video game and fanfiction blog!
Alright ramblers, let's get ramblin'!
