This has been a long time coming, but you can finally read up on some of my characters on my website! Updates to these might be slow due to a variety of factors, but at least I have a place for people to learn more.
And if this is your first time hearing about my website, go check it out! I've put a lot of care into it feeling unique and personal, and it includes some information about me if you've ever been curious but too shy to ask!
Some behind-the-scenes on why it took so long:
I'm a good programmer, and that is a problem, because I have a terrible habit of reinventing wheels. Why should I use a premade markdown parser when I can make my own to my exact specifications?
Pretty much every single aspect of the website is custom-made, even the SSG (the program that generates the website itself from a bunch of files) is custom-made. While this does mean that the website works exactly how I want it to, it also means that things take roughly 20x as much to get made since I make everything from scratch.
Anyways it's a habit I need to break out of somehow. For now, these character pages are just hand-written HTML.
Thanks for the patience, apologies for how frustrating it must be to be a fan of mine đ
I've never really put much thought into dinosaurs. I could just say whatever dinosaur first comes to mind that I've heard through osmosis, but I like to do things correctly, so...
Instead I found a List of Dinosaurs and signed them up for a single elimination tournament to determine objectively the best dinosaur.
It's Minmi.

tbh this specific illustration is doing it a lot of service, it looks really cute like this, but considering it's kind of impossible to get photographs of dinosaurs I don't think I can disqualify it based on that
Thanks for the ask!
If you're wondering, the dinosaurs highlighted in pink are dinosaurs that I liked while going through this whole process, if I were to pick more than just one winner it'd include those too!
It's June, motherfuckers, and you know what that means! Apart from firing a few rent-lowering shots to filter out the chuds from my following, it's probably also a good time to post a reminder that there are many strange ways to be queer, and this is one of them.
video transcript below the cut, may be slightly inaccurate, I tend to ad-lib when reading my scripts into voiceover
As for me, well, I'm not trans, but I do occupy my own little space in the rainbow flags which looks like this. I am aromantic.
We are generally not as visible as many of our queer siblings, probably at least partly because it's kind of a difficult identity to even discover in yourself, you basically have to prove a negative.
But what is this thing, "aromantic"? Well⊠okay, let's say you're a straight guy, right. You know the way you feel romantically about other men? I feel exactly the same way, and then I also feel that way about women, and then also the same way about all of the other genders.
Now, aromantic often goes along with asexual, there's a lot of co-occurrence of the two, but not always, and that is my situation. Yes to sex, no to romance, which being a man, yes, I know, that just makes me the same as 90% of the men you match on Hinge. "Ha ha ha didn't realize "fuccboi" was an orientation now," I know. I get it. I understand. I have had all the same thoughts myself, especially when I was questioning.
Which is the difficulty with being aromantic, because in order to figure out that that's what you are, you have to prove a negative. I have never been in love, and I have no reason to think I ever will be⊠but what if someday I meet The One??? What if there's a special divinely designated perfect soulmate out there, just waiting for me, and one day our eyes will meet across the room and it will be love at first sight forever?
And like. I can't prove that won't happen, anymore than I can prove that there isn't a flowery pink teapot currently hiding somewhere in the orbit of Saturn. And frankly, if it did happen, I wouldn't be mad. Why would I be? I would have a soulmate! That's a pretty big W, I think.
But⊠I've had over thirty years to encounter someoneâanyoneâwho can spark my romantic interest, and thus far, every challenger of every gender has failed. So either I am aromantic, or else you people have a skill issue.
Anyway, like anything to do with queerness, aromantic is a sprawling and diverse spectrum. You got your aroaces, aroallos, aroflux, arospikes, demiromantics, frayromantics, grayromantics, cupioromantics, there's a whole world of different experiences present under this umbrella. For me, though, just "aromantic" is fine. That's the broad label, that's the one I fall under, that's the identity I take pride in. Happy June!
Fangâs a young hero in the making whoâs naive, determined and impulsive when it comes to helping others. Unfortunately for him, heâs possessed by a demon known as Nocturn, whoâs slowly been taking control of his mind / body throughout the years.
Nocturnâs malicious, sarcastic and blood thirsty- his desires are primal & selfish. Fang is aware of Nocturnâs vile nature & that heâs not to be trusted, but Nocturnâs sweet, patient and helpful towards him. Nocturn can help Fang get enhanced agility and strength, but if Fang isnât careful with this added power, Nocturn can take control of their body, resulting in catastrophic consequences. The only way to calm Nocturnâs rampages are magic or if he eventually tires out the shared body (he needs to constantly eat to replenish energy so a rampage can last a week or 2).
