lately i've been working on Vermin Cathexis, an original setting centered on insect vampire hiveminds and a frankly egregiously complicated magic system.
the last big thing i worked on was Hostile Takeover, a longform murder drones fanfic about a lesbian killer robot torn between her directives and her own needs.
my most extensive work is the writings that comprise Black Nerve, a dark fantasy setting where giant insects wield magic that dissolves life and matter, mutant bat-blood and of course esoteric fungi. there's a couple of novels and LOT of lore posts
i have a website which is probably the best place to see all of my stuff:
A website for writings, drawings, and compositions.
but to get a taste of what you can find on that site, keep reading
most people are probably following me for my murder drones stuff.
as mentioned, i write the critically acclaimed J/Uzi fic, Hostile Takeover:
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the
Organization for Transformative Works
it's a beyond-novel-length enemies to lovers slowburn, and distinguishes itself by pulling it all off without heavy alteration to canon characterization.
most people are probably put off by the tagged ship, but i've received numerous comments to the effect of "i never liked this ship" or "i didn't think it could be done" followed by "but you somehow pulled it off".
give it a shot!
besides that, i've read a lot of murder drones fanfic, and maintain a page on my website dedicated to indexing and reviewing fics that i'd recommend
Curating the best fanfics for the best web series about angsty murderbots.
several of the people following me are writers, who may be interested in know that i've written several essays on the craft of writing. people tend to find them pretty insightful!
i've written many stories other than Hostile Takeover. you can find them on my site; there's too many to list, but in general, i write nonhuman character near-exclusively. (my friends were only so surprised when i became obsessed with murder drones)
still, HT is my most successful work for a reason, and i'm not certain fans of that will enjoy my earlier writing; i have reservations about recommending most of them. A Chimerical Hope is still cool, i think, though its issues are undeniable
the majority of my site is dedicated its overarching setting: Black Nerve, a dark fantasy world of giant sapient insect ninjas and corrupting fungus and gruesome mutagenic blood magic. there's so much going on there that i just cant get into all of it here. not even sure where you should begin reading
lore posts like "In Dialogue With Plagues", or "Lardsuckers and (What Were) Grubsuckers" give you a taste of just how freaky the setting is, and i think "The Duality of Mantis" is a great look at the weird psychology of the dominant species. but there's so many articles i can't list them all
writing is probably what i've done the most of, but i have other skills :3
i've released four albums of electronic music on bandcamp:
15 track album
and there's more!
i'm sometimes an artist, and there's gallery on my site with over three hundred pieces i've drawn over the years. i mostly draw these weird alien dudes i invented, plus a lot of praying mantises and dragons and pokemon. quality varies a lot and i'm bad about staying in practice, but here are some pieces i think turned out rather well
ok, now is that it?
well, mostly. i have some poetry that's neat, and i recently produced a game demo that's shaping up into something interesting:
Sokoban roguelike. Explore and solve randomly generated levels, collect powerups, and wield awkward tools.
but now, that's probably everything of serious note.
if you read through all of that, i love you. thank you for your time and i hope there's something here you appreciated

it's less common for people to be fans of mutually overlapping things. so if alice likes the amazing digital circus but doesn't care about hazbin hotal, and bob likes and blogs about both, alice will get less out of his blog than if he focused on what she followed for. it might be especially annoying if the tadc posts are good but she keeps seeing so many more hazbin posts. whenever you put multiple interests on a certain blog, you multiply the percentage of people willing the tolerate both
so you can see the incentive to silo things off into sideblogs for specific fandoms. otoh, if people are following you because of the fandom and not because they give a fuck about you, it's not clear they're the sort of followers you'd actually want.
so imo multifandom vs not is whether your blog is for you or for neatly appealing to others

Don't worry, I haven't suddenly changed my art style. I just found a few more doodles from last year and decided to post them. Anyway, Iβve got a lot to catch up on right now.
Itβs funny now to think back on how much people on tiktok cursed me out for that animation. But really, why am I even surprised? Tiktok is a place where everyone hates everyone.

ants have cool behaviors like rafting (when it floods, they grab onto each other to build a waterproof raft out of their bodies) or bivouacing (migratory colonies build living nests the same way). and there are a lot of ants that link together into chains when hunting or navigating
i wonder how far you could take this? a bunch of intertwined, interlinked chains of ants could easily form a sort of prehensile tendril of sorts, but it's stronger the tighter the bugs are linked together.
imagine if a bug like this could have an organ that interlocks with the same organ on another bugs, and essentially lets them link their circulatory and nervous systems. they'd never have to disconnect from each other, so they could aggregate into a collective that can do things the little bugs couldn't
if you combined this with how e.g. the bagworm moth larva builds cocoons out of sticks, you get a weird sort of tool use where they could reinforce the design of their collective body with scavanged matter.
if you take this all way to the extreme, imagining if their collectives get big enough to start doing very intelligent problem solving, you wind up with a pretty alien society.
i don't think these bug-masses would have much distinction between like... engineering or medicine or politics. almost everything is alive for them, everything designed, everything at once willful and willing. people, tools, houses, all are the same type of thing and in cases everything's a little bit of all three.
the only things that wouldn't be connected is if different lineages had incompatible blood types. and you'd want to disconnect if parts of you got a disease.
i think "sickness" and "separation" would be synonymous for them.
