Why it is so hard for me to engage with movies

Warning, this is a heavier blog post. I should start tagging these as like.. Vent.. Personal..? I don't do Discord watch parties well. I don't actively partake in stream chats well either. It's hard for me to watch any movie or animation that slightly interests me. If you've had me join your watch parties I'm sure it's obvious that I become disengaged sometimes. I know I don't need to explain…

FFXIV FanFest 2026!!

I was lucky enough to be able to go to the NA Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival for 2026!!!! And of course I took my partner, Goolloom, as my plus one. I am here to slap in all the photos from the trip and write a quick blog about it :D For reference, I was born and raised in Southern California. I've taken Gool to Anaheim twice by now, so I was very excited when FFXIV announced that Fanfest was…

Why I love attending the Renaissance Faire

I thought I wasn’t going to enjoy this year’s Renfaire, but I’m starting to understand why I’m always drawn back to it. I’m not surrounded by LGBTQ+ communities often. RenFaires bring it home for me. It feels like Queer Joy. I can freely be myself and use it as a playground to experiment and learn how to express myself. I use the Faire as an excuse to express my gender identity. I'm surrounded by…

my new PKMN card hobby

About a month ago, I moved into a new city. Right across my place there is a Trading Card Game shop! I decided to check it out and.. Wow is it an entirely different world. An online friend has been talking about his own Pokemon TCG experiences and his collection, and the online cookies being cookies, my phone listened and started to suggest more Pokemon TCG content. Mainly the collecting part. For…

Thinking about how viral "success" was found in 2020...

Do you ever think about how a lot of content creators / small business owners people got their start during 2020? How ashamed I feel not being one of those people? Because I should’ve jumped on that bandwagon, right? Instead of having crippling depression and anxiety thinking it was the absolute end of the world. Thinking I’d never see my partner again. Thinking how my final year in college was…

being sick as a lonely adult sucks.

I got sick twice this year, and both times this year I was truly on my own. Waking up in the middle of the night to a sore throat. Itchiness hitting the roof of your mouth. Then waking up again the first day, around 9am. You can feel more symptoms coming in. You have enough energy right now to take yourself to the pharmacy before the sickness fully settles in later today. You place an online order…

life/brain update October 2025

Hi hello! It has been a hot minute, hasn’t it? I have spent the past week or two working on my personal website . I’ve been OBSESSED to say the least. I’m so tired of social media and mindlessly consuming endless feeds and timelines. Creating a space for my own ramblings and finally archiving my art feels so freeing. No more anxiety about what social media platform will catch fire next. No more…

grieving art school

In the past couple of weeks, I have been slowly reintroducing myself to the art and animation industry. Now that I think about it, might be because indie animation is on the rise and I am seeing more of it online. I am also finding that I don't want to run an online store (More on that in the future if it comes up again). I'm starting to do a bit more research on the current state of things,…

May 2025 recap

Hi there! This is my montly blog post that I keep telling myself I'd like to write. I am a day late, but that is ok. This isn't a happy post, but I don't think any of my writing is completely happy. That is just how my brain works. Apologies in advanced, but hopefully it brings some solace to some who are also in a similar situation. May was rough, but I was already feeling terrible all of April.…
