City of Cards is the story of Plato, a former wrestler haunted by his past mistakes, and Ace, the person Plato loves more than anything— an amnesiac literally haunted by ghosts.

Together with their friends, they keep each other going despite the burden society places on them.

It’s a story of love and hope in the darkest of times.

doing my best to summon up the will to crosspost this, so... here goes

at urging of friends, I'm making a difficult statement: I'm currently living under abuse, and it's deeply impacting my ability to function... this includes an almost total drop-off in personal artwork (which has probably been distinctly noticeable over the past 2 years bearing the situation), and now an increasing cost on my ability to work. if I can't work, I'm well and truly stuck, so, I'm trying to get out as soon as I can to return to normalcy and safety

I have an exit strategy, and while it's hard for me to put this out there, you're welcome to donate via my kofi to help with my move. everything I receive will go towards the inconvenient cost of moving in a pinch
