How I started collecting figurines and stopped worrying.

I wanted to start collecting since I was a teen. While I am happy that I started in my early 30s, I can't say I am happy about the reason that solidified my decision. I don't want to go into too many details; I will just say that my life was constantly in danger due to reasons that were much, much bigger than me. It was just a fact: my life could abruptly end at any moment. So I chose to pursue my…

I carefully hold you. [New art]

He is here to stay. I try to hold him. He needs more attention from me, that's why I need some daily time for personal art. Or a daily life outside of my graphic tablet.

Oh my

I haven't written anything since the end of March. I can't say I was depressed or tired; I just didn't feel like blogging. Many things happened during this time; I don't want to recap everything, because fuck it. I am not documenting my life; I just exist in my place at my pace. I'd like to have a place that would hold me accountable, though. That would kick my ass. But for that I need people who…

Enigma and me

I think I was 17 when I got a disc with all of Enigma's albums and bonus materials (music videos) as a Christmas gift. And man, was I in awe when I watched these videos. A lot of them were so psychedelic, and it hit the right spot in my brain. TNT for the Brain is love. And Beyond the Invisible? It's absolutely crazy and stunning at the same time! I feel like I am missing this freaky side in my…

Friends and allies [TTRPG bluebooking]

CW: mentions of child abuse. Axel was, indeed, one of the filthiest people Philanthropist has ever met. And by filth, he meant his demeanor and negotiation habits. The bastard used his own son as a special "treat" for every willing business partner. Disgusting disgrace to humanity. Phil was here to take him down. But before that he had to play along. He needed an ally, and he knew who could be the…

Making amends [TTRPG bluebooking]

CW: R-rated Orion met him dressed in that cursed combo of oversized cat-eared hoodie and sweatpants. He looked a bit upset, even though he was doing his best to not show it. Smiling gently, genuinely happy to see Minz. "Hi. Are you alright?" Minz forgot everything he wanted to say. And he couldn't even remember, because the next thing he felt was a tight hug. He yearned for those hugs so much all…

Therapy session [TTRPG bluebooking]

"I don't understand. I don't understand why I felt loved more when I was worse. Now I ask myself, was it actually worse or …" Minz could go back to Orion after that party. He could have made a scene; he could have accused and screamed and let his anger and frustration be known. But he didn't. Instead, he decided to head to his apartment and sleep this all away. And in the morning, ask Phil if he…

Surgery recovery [TTRPG bluebooking]

This month was both amazing and terrible. Although Minz's wish was finally fulfilled, there was still a cost to bear, and it wasn't just about money. The surgery itself was fine. But despite all the talk, consulting, and research he did beforehand, he wasn't ready for the full weight of the recovery process. He reminded himself of a freshly molted centipede: weak, vulnerable, and hiding from the…
