Blair comes in two different variations based: an AMAB who uses he/they and an AFAB that uses she/they. This was done to represent the genders and sexes a bisexual person can be attracted to.

Historically, a bisexual person was attracted to men and women. But now, a bi person can be attracted to multiple sexes and/or genders, but typically has a preference

The bi flag is also one of the older pride flags, being created and adopted all the way back in 1998.

Gary the gay man here kinda looks like he has a bunch of gems on his face. He's supposed to have a multi coloured beard. Honestly it kinda slays either way.

In recent years, gay men have been using a flag similar to that of the lesbian's sunset flag, but featuring teals and blues rather than oranges and pinks. The previous gay man flag, the rainbow stripe flag[s] were more used to represtent the queer community as a whole, as opposed to just gay men. This flag is also inclusinary to genderqueer men/AMABs.

Sappho here takes inspiration from the Greek poet who shares her name.

Sappho[the real one] was a Greek poet from the island of Lesbos most known for her lyrical poetry. Sadly, almost all of her poems have become lost to time. The only one to survive was Ode to Aphrodite. Ode to Aphrodite tells the story of Sappho herself asking the goddess of love to help her pursue another woman. This poem led to Sappho being seen as a lesbian icon, as well as birthing the terms sapphic and lesbian.

The term sapphic means a woman/AFAB who can fall in love with other women/AFABs, however, they may not be exclusively able to love other women/AFABs. In contrast, a lesbian is a purely gay woman/AFAB who is only able to fall in love with other women/AFAB. Yeah these terms can get a bit confusing.

Lacy here is holding up a labrys and demands respect for her and her fellow women.

The labrys flag was the former flag used by feminist lesbians created in 1999. However, the labrys[a double headed axe] and the black triangle[an old symbol used by 1940s Germany to represent lesbian women as well as other "shameful" groups] were used as lesbian symbols in the 1970s. The colour purple represented lesbian love in the works of Sappho. The flag has fallen somewhat out of favor, as the sunset flag is more commonly used.

Lacy represents a strong progressive feminist woman. She's tough, punk rock, and doesn't take anything from anybody. She represents the kind of people you would see at women's marches and No Kings protests.

Lana and her "scene" clone are holding up the 5 striped lesbian flag.

The lesbian flag came to be the main symbol of the lesbian community starting around 2018 and comes in two variations: A 5 striped and a 7 striped. To my knowledge there is no difference between the two. Due to its colouration, the lesbian flag is sometimes known as the sunset flag.

Lesbians tend to be incredilby diverse, so representing them all in one character is impossible. I tried to create a character who was somewhat feminine, but not a full blown girly girl.

Day 2's technically features 3 different variations of the same flag. That flag being the classic rainbow flag.

The first rainbow flag was created in 1978 by Gilbert Baker, and featured 8 stripes: Pink, red, orange, yellow, green, aqua, blue, and purple. The aqua stripe was dropped about a year later, and then the pink. These colours were dropped due to the difficulty of getting the fabric. After all, pride flags were hand made for parades and protests. The 6 striped flag isn't used as commonly anymore, as it has been replaced by the progress flag.

Gilbert here represents my attempt at a young man in the 1970s. Back then, you had to "hide your pride" so he's not as flashy as some of the others. I couldn't help myself with the disco outfit.

I've Never Drank a Butterfly Before

So I was perusing a Japanese import store the other day, and came across a Monster that I have been wanting to try for ages but otherwise couldn't get. That being Papillon, sometimes known as Monarch.

Papillon is a sister flavour to Khaotic, both having butterfly inspired cans designed by the same artist.

Papillon's can is a light orange and features butterflies with a monarch pattern. It's quite beautiful, giving off the feeling of going in a butterfly garden.

As much as I would love to read all of the blurb, it is entirely in Japanese, and translator apps can only go so far. Instead, I will leave you with a fun fact: In Japan, Juice Monsters aren't under the Juice branding, but instead are labeled as "Monster Energy Energy + 10% juice."

Inportant note for the flavour, I'm drinking the Japanese version, so it may difer from the American version. Some Monsters[especially the Juice ones] can vary in flavour depending on region.

The taste is extremely similar to Ultra Peachy Keen, otherwise known as intense peach flavoring. It was super peachy with a hint of nectarine at the finish. I quite like this one actually, but admit it was pretty strong. I'd still drink it again. 8.5/10.

Happy pride and men's mental health month everyone!I'm gonna try to do another 30 day challenge again. Let's see how long this one goes for. This was supposed to be for yesterday, but I finished it at 1 AM.

Since yesterday was June 1st, what better place to start than with the progress flag. The progress flag became the defacto symbol of the LGBTQ+ starting around 2018 representing the progress and increased diversity of the community, replacing the older rainbow flag.

This character, who I've named Pax, represents most forms of modern diversity. They are a person of colour, representation racial diversity, uses all pronouns to represent gender diversity, plus sized to represent body diversity, AFAB to represent the good side of feminism, and AuDHD.

Drinking Patriotic Juice

I just got Monster's newest limited edition flavour, Juice Monster Strawberry Lemonade.

For America's 250th anniversary, Monster released two different flavours: Ultra Red, White, and Blue Razz, and this one.

The can is white with various patriotic images, such as a bald eagle head with a USA hat and US Thomas Jefferson on a bike, and Uncle Sam sunbathing. No joke, I thought the can was beige, as any picture I've seen of it gives it a warm tint. If I'm being honest, the can design feels inspired by AI. Like the designer typed in "American patriotism and symbolism" into Chat GPT and went from there. It lacks some of that cohesive flow that other cans have. It's just random "America great" imagery. I am not saying that the can's patterns are AI generated, just that it feels odd and generic. I'm also not sure why they released 2 different patriotic flavours. 1 is enough.

The blurb reads: "12 score and 10 years ago, our great nation was born. Now, we celebrate with our limited edition Juice Monster Strawberry Lemonade! It's like an AP Honor US History book packed into a can. Not a tiny Euro can...an American size 16 oz can! Bursting with real juice, perfectly tart lemonade, and the sweet taste of strawberries, plus a full load of our energy blend. Happy birthday America." Alright I don't usually comment on the blurb, but there's a few oddities. First, ain't nobody is excited for America's 250th anniversary, especially Americans. Our country has fallen for a million reasons. Second, why bashing Europe? What did they do? Third, "tiny Euro can?" Bro your own European cans are larger than the 16 oz can. They're 18.5 oz.

Beside the mid messy can design and self indulgent blurb, how does it taste? It tastes like pink lemonade, which is lemonade with some sort of red/pink fruit juice. It doesn't immediately read as "strawberry" but I do get a hint of a sweet fruit. There is also quite a tart lemony taste without being too sour. Defiantly akin to a summer treat.

7.5/10 good flavour, but knocked down quite a bit due to the wank bank can design.

Hantavirus

I saw a post on SpaceHey about the hantavirus currently going around, and wanted to give my own thoughts about it. Specifically about letting people off the ship, as well as how it spreads: 1. Many people were let off the ship because, at the time, it was unknown whether or not they had the virus. The Andes virus takes quite a while[1-8 weeks according to the WHO and CDC] to show symptoms. Those who were let off the ship prior to May 9th likely weren't showing symptoms, and it was unknown that they had the virus. Remember, exposure does not equate to infection. Maybe we should have moved them into an isolated area, but unfortunately, hindsight is 20/20, and there isn't much we can do now other than monitor the situation. 

2. Some people who were let off the ship needed immediate medical attention. As much as we wish it was, cruise ships are not a replacement for a hospital. These patients were likely transported in as best of quarantine as possible, but they still would have needed to be let off.

3. It is true that hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome has a high fatality rate[sometimes as high as 50%], it's unlikely to be the next mass pandemic. Andes hantavirus spreads very differently than COVID-19. Andes hantavirus spreads through frequent close contact to infected people, especially bodily fluids. Hence why it's spread easier on commercial flights for example[air is constantly recirculated]. COVID is highly contagious as it spreads through ultra fine droplets that can spread super far. That's why social distancing was such a big deal. COVID was also known as a "novel coronavirus," meaning that it was completely new to science when it was discovered in late 2019. Andes hantavirus, while lacking an individualized treatment/prevention, has at least been known since the mid 90s, so we know more of what we're dealing with better than COVID.

4. There is a lot of misinformation and fearmongering going around about the hantavirus. While there should be a degree of concern, some grifters are taking it upon themselves to feed into people's valid fears to milk those afraid of another pandemic for engagement. As of right now, it is highly unlikely that there will be a COVID level pandemic[those kinds of pandemics are actually quite rare] but it is important to stay informed. However, this fear can become paranoia, which can completely dessimate your mental health[believe me, been there done that.] Be concerned, but don't be afraid. Stay as up to date from legit sources as possible, and if you know that you have been in close contact with someone who did test positive, get tested as soon as you can.

Fancy Euro Monster

I got a chance to try the Import Monster. This was a version of OG Monster made specifically for the European market brought to the US in a resealable, slightly larger can.

At first glance, the can looks pretty similar to a standard OG Monster can, but there are a few differences. Firstly, the can is slightly larger, clocking in at about 550 mL, as opposed to the standard Monster can of 473 mL. That's 18.6 fl oz for the Import, and 16 fl oz for those who speak Americana. The design features a mythical bird[I'm assuming some sort of eagle] behind a shield and a ribbon that says "IMPORT." It looks like if Monster had their own coat of arms. The most stand out feature of this can is its resealable nature. Apparently, you're supposed to gently spin a piece of plastic to open and close the can, but in my confusion, I ended up pulling on the mechanism and breaking it, spraying Monster everywhere. Don't do that. It was also covered by a sticker, and said sticker went onto my "new" iMac Roxy. Neat idea, I just wish there was some sort of explanation on how to open the can, as resealable cans are a rarity in the states.

The blurb reads as follows: "While in Europe at the Spanish MotoGP, we saw a cool resealable can and knew it would be perfect for Monster. The can company said 'only available in Europe.' We said B.S., we gotta have it! Next stop, the Netherlands at specialty plant to fill the funky can with our new super premium Monster Import formula. Monster Import has a clean, smooth Euro-flavor, a little less sweet, but still gets you off as good as the original. If you can open and close the can with one hand you probably dated a lot when you were younger."

The taste is far less sweet and far smoother than American OG Monster. Monster has always had a "bite" to it, if that makes sense. This one takes away that bite, and is easier to drink than any other flavour out there. Even the ones claimed to be "easy drinking." 8.5/10 best variation of OG Monster.

I made a blog

It's called Pots and Pans, and here's the link:https://potsandpansblog.blogspot.com/

It's currently in it's very early stages, so it doesn't  look very good, but it will improve with time.

Gaming Unpopular Opinions

These are a bit too much fun to make, so here's some gaming ones:

The majority of well regarded popular games aren't all that great. These include Breath of the Wild, Skyrim, GTA5, Minecraft, and more. I can see the appeal, but I personally find many of these to be super boring.

Just about every game released on the 5th generation consoles[N64, Dreamcast, PS1, Saturn] are so dated that they are hard to recommend. As boundary pushing as Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 were, they are plagued with poor cameras and loose controls. For anyone who didn't grow up with these games, I don't recommend them.

I am so sick of Persona. Now, I've never actually played any of them, but it seems like Atlus is milking this series to hell and back. This has caused them to neglect their other franchise. As a Trauma Center fan, this pisses me off. Just port the games to PC, that's all that I ask. We also don't need the billionth port of Persona 5.

Shooters, racers, sports games, and fighters are the most overrated genres. They are super repetitive and just generic. On ya if you like these games. They just aren't for me. Open World just squeaks by on the fact that dicking around in these worlds is sometimes fun. Same with cozy games.

Horror is way too oversaturated currently. Thanks to the popularity of FNAF, just about every game that gets any sort of attention is some jumpscare horror game. They blend in and just become the same game with a different skin.

FNF was a fun game ruined by a terrible fanbase. I suppose you could argue this for any popular game[Roblox, Minecraft, Fortnite, etc.] I hopped on the hype train around December 2020, and really enjoyed it. I played a few of the mods, and listen to the soundtracks. But since the fanbase became so toxic and spiteful, I hesitate to call myself a fan.

Just because a game is girly doesn't mean it's shovelware. Style Savvy is a prime example of this. Granted this one isn't as widely believed anymore, but I still do see this in some circles.

Licensed games aren't always bad. Technically Kingdom Hearts is a licensed game, and it rocks. Simpsons Hit and Run, Family Guy the Video Game, Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom, and more are really fun games.

I would much rather play a unique game with some jank over a perfectly polished but boring game. The most important aspect of a game is that it's fun. If it isn't fun, it isn't worth playing. Many of my favourite games have distinct playing styles, or really engaging mechanics, or something that keeps me hooked. 

I am not looking forward to GTA6. I just don't care. It is nice that a 6th one is getting made finally, but I just have zero interest in GTA.

Preordering a game is almost never worth it. Many games ship broken and unfinished, and typically are available on day 1. Plus, digital copies don't have inventories. If it comes with some sort of bonus maybe, but that's getting rarer and rarer.

Digital and physical versions both have their benefits. Keep in mind that most physical games still rely on servers for updates and DRM, so if the servers go down, that card or disk is now useless. Anyone familiar with StarForce knows what I'm talking about. This does 100% depends on the game in question. Anyway, physical has less of a risk of being removed from stores, and some can still be played after servers go down, but they can be scratched, broken, lost, or corrupted over time. Digital doesn't suffer from rot, and don't require a physical card or disk, but more often rely on those servers. Really depends more on personal preference and availability.

Not all mobile games are soulless cash grabs. Any game on Apple Arcade don't have microtransactions. Payed games like Animal Crossing Pocket Camp complete are pretty fun. And if you do like some freemium game, that's not a bad thing. Just understand these tactics, and don't spend too much.

The whole PC vs console gaming argument is dumb. Both PC and console have their upsides and downsides, and some games are meant specifically for each platform. Hating on one or the other makes you look like an insufferable muppet.

The Switch 2 is pretty great for what it is. Yes it is far too expensive, but it's such an upgrade from the Switch 1. I got one for my birthday, replacing my launch Switch 1, and it is such an upgrade. Many people bashing it have likely never used one, and are just jumping on the bandwagon because it's trendy to hate on right now. 

On a similar note, Pokemon Legends Z-A is fun. So many people hate this game due to its $70-100 price tag, its "gamecube esque" textures, and lack of voice acting. The price complaint is valid, but the textures are on areas that you will run past in 2 seconds. Who cares? Plus, Pokemon has almost never had voice acting, and the cutscenes will probably be skipped by most players. There are legit criticisms[such as the lack of jumping], but some of these just feel like grifting for the sake of grifting.

I don't care for Pokopia. I haven't played it, but I've never been interested in building games like this. It has some moments, but I just don't care. I'm more excited for Tomodatchi Life: Living the Dream.

There is a difference between preservation, piracy, and bootlegging. Preservation is allowing people to play a game that is not available legally at all, or only through disks and outdated hardware. Piracy is downloading a currently available game for free, and bootlegging is illegally selling a game that is otherwise available or otherwise. Preservation is always valid, piracy not so much, and bootlegging defiantly not.

Companies should post their games' soundtracks to streaming. Some have, but most should. Especially Nintendo. Yeah they have Nintendo Music, but they are missing so many tracks, and focusing too heavily on the Switch 1 and 2[most of those games soundtracks are ambiance]. Not everyone wants to use Nintendo Music, so put them on Spotify or something.

[irksomempress]

Thinkning of starting a blog.

It's would be titled "Pots and Pans" and would either be a sort of public diary, or focus on issues for disabled and/or queer folk. It would probably be a bit of both.

The name comes from POTS, which I suspect that I have[need to go see a cardiologist] and pan, short for pansexual[which I somewhat identify as.]

This is an idea that I've had for a while, but I'm still not sure if I should. If so, I was going to go with blogger, and maybe make a seperate one for Tumblr.  If it is on Tumblr, it would be a different account. This account is still mostly for art and random stuff.

IDK it's still up in the air.

Tech Unpopular Opinions

Haven't posted in a while, so here's some more hot takes, cuz hot takes are fun.

Windows Vista sucks. Yes they fixed it with the service packs, but by then it was too little too late. It was buggy, slow, and didn't work on anything that wasn't high end. It did look great though. Most people who love it now either are looking at it through rose tinted nostalgia, or have never used it.

Windows ME isn't that bad. Yeah it had it's moments, and when it released DOS was seen as somewhat outdated, but to call it the worst OS ever is a bit harsh. It's really just Windows 9x third edition.

Linux is pretty great, but the stans are obnoxious twats who need to get off their high horses. Its these fanboys who are preventing people from getting into Linux[plus the learning curve/cliff]. 

Some distros of Linux aren't as bad as you'd think. I've been using Mint for the past few months, and it's very similar to Windows. Zorin OS, Elementary OS, Pop_OS! and even Ubuntu aren't too bad. You tend not to need to enter terminal that much, and when you do, there are tons of resources to help you out. I don't know how true this is with other distros, but I know in Mint, you can copy and paste commands. 

Windows 11 started off fine, but they then ruined it. When 11 came out in 2021, it really just felt the same as 10. It wasn't until they introduced CoPilot and Recall when it all went downhill.

Windows 10 wasn't all that great. It was fine, but so many people have yearnings to go back. It is better than 11, but not by much.

IOS 26 isn't that bad. I have had a few goobery moments, but it's not anything too bad. I think most people having problems are running it on older hardware. There's a reason that I haven't updated my iPhone SE[2020]. Plus, the liquid glass is cool. Ironic that the same people hating on it were the same people complaining that IOS 7-18 looked boring and generic. Some people can't be happy.

iPad OS really isn't that bad. It is not a desktop OS, and it never will be. All it is is just IOS, but for iPads. That's it. Get a Macbook Neo if you want something a bit more beefy.

Wired headphones will always be superior to wireless ones[I say as I'm wearing airpods pros lol.] The way audio travels it benefits from a cable. That's not to say that wireless headphones don't have their benefits, but they sound worse, and will eventually break. The two wired headphones I commonly use have removable cables, so if the cable breaks, just replace it. 

I really don't care about frame rates or resolution. 4K, 60 fps just never really mattered to me. Just so long as a game is playable or a show/movie is watchable, I'm happy. It also feels more "authentic" for some things to be in SD quality with 24fps.

Be careful with physical media. Physical media is great, but many systems needed to run these pieces are old and may need repairs. Disk rot is also a real problem, especially with DVDs, HDDVDs, and BluRays. Cassetes and VHS tapes can have damage to their magnetic tape, and vinyls can have scratches. Know what your getting yourself into, and be sure to test your devices every so often. This is even true with DAPs like iPods. The hard drives can fail at any moment. If you know what you're doing, these can be fun projects. If not, they can be an expensive nightmare. Trust me.

Don't always blame the tech. Smartphones, for example, aren't necessary the issue. It's companies who make their apps as addicting as possible. Having a supercomputer in your pocket isn't helping, but certain apps are specifically designed to hack your brain.

Kids and teens should have access to tech, but in a limited capacity. No 8 year old needs a social media account, but to fully block them off from tech until 18 is also a bad idea. Taking a green list, red list approach and setting limits on when and for how long a child/teen can be on a device is a better option. Introducing them to tech early can help too, but only if they are ready. As for minors on phones, start with a flip phone or an old smartphone. Let them prove themselves before getting them newer devices. Remember that tech illiterate kids become tech illiterate adults, and these adults will be more susceptible to scams, hacks, malware, and more.

There's so much more than social media. Granted if you're reading this you probably already know that, but there are some pretty fun sites, you just need to find them. Try Neocities or even the useless web.

Microsoft Bob had potential, but said potential was squandered. For those OOTL, Microsoft Bob was a shell that was placed over Windows 3.1 and 95 released in 1995. The program attempted to make using your computer easier to use by mimicking the layout of a house. It was hated for its buggy performance, childish appearance, and $99 price tag[$212.28 in 2026]. The idea could work today as a safe and customizable place for children, the elderly, and the neurodiverse. It could also be included for use on phones and tablets on top of PCs.

Framework is a neat idea, but is far too expensive and really isn't as repairable as you'd think. Framework is a company that makes fully modular laptops advertised as repairable. However, the basic bare bones laptop with really budget specs, is about $899. A fully specked machine will cost over $2,000. My laptop Aeon didn't even cost that much, and she's pretty repairable. Lenovo has also released a super repairable ThinkPad that's far cheaper than a Framework. Even the MacBook Neo is fairly reparable, and only $499. I've never owned a Framework, but from what I've heard, they use a lot of glues and adhesives that require heat to remove. Plus, modular things tend to be more susceptible to break. The parts are also super expensive for basic parts, and many have reported that it's just cheaper to replace the whole machine opposed to fixing the one they already have. It really is a hobbyist/enthusiast machine. There's also a bit of controversy about who they support, and who supports them, but I'll let you guys research that. Not in the mood.

The argument between IOS and Android is dumb as rocks. As someone who has experience daily driving both, they both have their benefits and drawbacks. IOS is simple to use and often just works, but it's limited in what you can do and has lots of proprietary nonsense. Android gives you all the freedom to make your device into whatever you want, but tends to be unstable as a result. In the end, use whatever device type fits your needs best. 

Windows, MacOS and Linux, Haiku/BSOD, and ChromeOS all have their uses. Similar to the IOS vs Android debate, all five of these OSes have their uses. Windows is general use and has tons of drivers built in. Throw something at it, and it will run. It's also great for gaming. However, it's fairly unstable and bloated AF. MacOS is best for creative stuff such as video editing or digital art. It does have that "walled garden" philosophy, so extremely limited in what you can do. Linux is great for customization and really getting into the weeds of what your system can do, but it can be confusing to new users, and has a "bring your own drivers" ideal. There are also tons of distros out there; each one slightly different from the last. Haiku and BSOD are great if you want to get back to basics. They are super simple, but lack a lot of driver support. ChromeOS is a budget friendly option if all you're doing is surfing the web. It is extremly limited in what it's capable of, and you're stuck with Chrome.

This is Elemental Seraphim "Sera" Mary Lunis. She was born on Christmas Day 2007 to leaders of a Christian cult on Kori, Suzuki Islands. The members of the cult believed her to be the child of angels due to her super pale skin and hair, calling her "pure" or "child of light." She is pale AF due to her having a form of albinism.

These crazy claims became even more frequent as she grew up, as Sera was born with Swyer Syndrome[in her case, her ovaries are underdeveloped] and Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser[MRKH] syndrome[uterus is entirely missing.] Because of her unique state, she never underwent puberty, despite growing to be quite tall. She sadly also is hard of hearing, has scoliosis, and is at an increased risk of kidney and heart problems[fortunately nothing serious has occurred.] Basically, she's a bit of a medical abnormality, and doctors have no idea why she is the way she is.

Sera was rescued from her cult in 2024 at 17, where she was discovered to have already awakened her Elemental powers. Due to this, she was placed under the care of King Legend and Queen Hyaku Unagi, who have two[technically three if you count Vanni] Elemental children.

Vanni took Sera under her wing and taught her about being a modern Suzuki teen. She later began forming her own style and making friends outside of her fellow Elemental siblings. This also included a potential crush on fellow Elemental and street gang leader Daiava Kekoa. She's still figuring that out, but seems to like "bad girls."

Sera also discovered the term "intersex," a term she is still unsure about identifying as.

Sera currently is living a pretty good life, despite her number of health complications and trauma faced. Despite her hardships, she managed to bounce back, and is currently a freshman in college. She's still undecided on a major.

Trying a new format for character concepts. You may notice the insane amount of colours off to the side. The right side are the colours of said character's skin[including scars], hair[natural, dyed, and streaks], eyes, and wings. Left are clothing colours.

Here's a fairly short bio for this character. Keep in mind things could be retconed or rewritten.

This is the Elemental Andrew "Drew" Cario. Drew is a first generation Italian-American born to Lorenzo and Holly Cario on October 12, 2002 in Ashburn Virginia, USA. For the first 10 or so years of his life were pretty normal, until his parents acquired a then unknown disease. This illness caused them to become aggressive, and attacked Drew before succumbing to said illness. He was then taking in by his grandmother, Gloria "Nona" Cario.

He was the frequent victim of bullying during his times in school, resulting in him developing a hardened shell. That shell could only be chipped away by his current spouse Enix Cario.

Drew met Enix during a teen summer camp in 2018. The two were sort of at odds, before realizing they have a ton in common. They began dating, and later married on October 31, 2020.

During the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year, a shooting resulted in him unlocking his Elemental power, which not only trapped the gunman before anyone got hurt, but the entire school was entrapped in vines. He was found in a large flower bud at the very top of the school. In case it isn't obvious, he's a plant type.

Shortly before the pandemic, Drew, Enix, Sam Drako, and Nixie Tringali, formed the short lived metal band Blade. This band disbanded in 2020 due to Enix and Drew moving across the country

Drew, much like many other students, was sent home during the 2020 pandemic. It was here he moved to California to be closer to Enix, who was transferred to a hospital around LA to help out with the pandemic. He, like the rest of the class of 2020, graduated from home. Shortly after he began his college career, getting a bachelor's degree in biochemistry with a minor in nursing in 2024. As of the writing of this, he is currently a second year med student focusing on general surgery.

He currently lives with Enix in a large fancy home in Los Angeles California, USA, where he is focusing heavily on his studies, and helping Enix deal with their heart condition.
