Sapnin'! I'm Alex and I make stuff! Iβm mostly a writer but I also draw and am hoping to make comics eventually! :^) Here's some stuff about me:
Genderqueer (they/she/he)
Disabled (AuDHD, dyslexic, Schizo-spec)
Originally from the north of England so please read all of my posts in your best Jon Snow impression
Had this blog since around 2019 (Fun fact: it was originally a Good Omens fanblog) but been on Tumblr since about 2013/14 (<- old)
I have a degree in English Literature (with Creative Writing) and genre fiction is one of my special interests :^)
I love video games (Soulsborne, Zelda, Pokemon, Skyrim, Stardew Valley, etc etc) or watching other people play video games lmao. I also love D&D!
As for writing, I write in a couple different genres but my favourites are high fantasy, cyberpunk, apocalyptic fiction! I'm also a fan of all kinds of horror and really enjoy seeing (and trying!) interesting blends of different genres too! I also do most of my rough work/first drafts in script so I'll likely be posting a mix of prose and script.
I've got a few WIPs and you'll find my masterpost with a little info about each of them under the cut! My main WIP is 'Project Arcana' a high fantasy/cyberpunk comic series! This project is my life, 90% of my posts are about PA so if you follow me I hope you like it lmao
I'm also open to tag games and the like! Feel free to tag me in stuff, send asks, do ask games, etc etc. :^)
COMIC WIPS
Pitch: A cyberpunk/high fantasy comic series that follows the story of a ragtag group in corporate-owned E-City as they're called upon by the Gods - and perhaps something even more ancient - to find the Great Evil of this era and fulfill the prophecy of its defeat, however, Good and Evil are not as predictable as the Gods believe, and some people will do anything for a little control over their own destiny.
WIP INTRO: Here!
STAGE: Scripting! Currently on version 4.2 :^)

WIP INTRO: Coming Soon

According to thousands of years of myth, legend, and tavern gossip, there is something valuable beyond imagining at the top of that tower guarded by a fearsome beast. If you're brave enough, smart enough, strong enough, to navigate The Blackwood, scale Mt Rosard, slay the beast of the tower, and climb to the very top room on the top floor, then the tower will see the deepest wish in your heart and grant you your greatest desire.
WIP INTRO: Coming Soon
STAGE: Character concepting and outlining.
TAGS: #wip: the celestial tower #tct: [character name]

GAME/VISUAL NOVEL WIPS
[So, these are super outside my technical skills as of writing so I probably won't post a lot about them rn BUT I added them to the masterpost anyway bc I still like them and will work on them one day lol]
Pitch: A 'Persona'-like RPG/dating sim. You and your friend, Isaac, end up in the world of Aecreon after you're accidentally summoned by a student at Silverlake University and the university's principal offers you both scholarships to study an adventuring degree.
As a scholarship student, you must put together an adventuring party from your classmates and help everyone pass their field exams by proving your skills in the dungeon underneath the campus, while also trying to find a way back home.

Pitch: A metroidvania-style platformer that follows the story of Kit, a red-cloaked Mage with the ability to summon a magical magpie familiar, navigating the dangers of a post-apocalyptic world and trying to solve the mystery of the Red Fox - a trickster who seems to know more than she lets on about the end of the world.
TAGS: #wip: project magpie #pm: [character name]
Pitch: A visual novel/dating sim/psychological horror set in the same universe as Project Arcana.
You move to E-City and manage to get a job at a local student bar. On your first shift you meet some interesting women; Marley, a long-lost childhood friend and your new coworker; Kat, a flirtatious regular; Ari, a small-time model hoping to make it big in the city; and Jenna, a quiet, studious girl who took a wrong turn.
Though love is a wonderful thing it doesn't come without its challenges, even under normal circumstances, and there's something haunting your every step that you don't know how to talk about - and perhaps, underneath it all, something even more sinister at stake.

Despite it all I can't hate solarpunk. It's caramel-apple sweet-simplistic, a desire for a greater world on one simple axis without grappling with any kind of political reality. You can chip at its ankles but unfortunately it will still be kind of awesome epicsauce at its heart. Sometimes you really do need to just cut past all the hard-nosed realism, get back to the kid looking up at you with those big blubbering eyes saying "what if everyone was nice to eachother?" That kid does not know an ant's arse about the real world or how it works, but they're still 1000 times more correct than all of us trying to explain why it can't be done. You can't lose sight of the stupid, hopeless dream. You can't lose sight of it. Otherwise you turn into a dickhead.
ok so this is another long shot but a few years ago there was a twitter post (in japanese i think?) that had measurememts for how to make this book stand thing out of cardboard that you could use to double up books and use up more space on shelves
back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore
if it comes down to it i can just take one apart and get the measurements from there but i would be very grateful if anyone happens to have the original post or something similar??
don't mind how long it's been since i made this post, anyway i realized that i don't even need to take one apart to get the measurements when i can literally just unfold it and refold it /FACEPALM
so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!
this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together
and then in the end you put it together like this!!
and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy
EVERYONE START GETTING MORE USE OUT OF YOUR SPACE NOW!!!!

hard to gauge if the answer to a ''how's your life been going'' should be ''im deconstructing everything about my relationship to expiriencing emotions and im finding it hard to grasp that im a real person who exists'' or ''been getting into wildberry jams lately''
sci fi is all about desperately trying to reclaim your violated bodily autonomy. itβs all about asserting that you are a being with agency, and you can choose what happens to your own person, even if thatβs ripping tubes out of yourself. and also sometimes an alien is there
why must the guard dog characters unquestioning devotion to their master be born from trust or some shit cant they be manipulated into it. raised into it. brainwashed even
Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.
Reblog if you're okay with people coming into your DMs with the "you seem really odd and your blog intrigues me, do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters"

crazy how i find myself thinking i've got a handle on it all finally and then i see the ways that other people tangle their lives together so easily and live so easily together with their friends and i feel like that girl at the top of the stairs painting by norman rockwell
