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

i am currently reading In Defence of Hivemind Society which is an excellent and quite readable piece of moral philosophy. it also contains this this paragraph
One might object to this on the grounds that intimacy requires separateness. In other words, one might argue that in order for someone to be intimate with another person, that person and the other person must retain their separate identities. Indeed, it could be that this is what makes intimacy good in the first place. It is like a form of phenomenological ‘edging’: we must be brought to the precipice of complete merger with another but never fall over the edge. The worry might be that the hivemind ideal thrusts us into the abyss. We no longer retain the separateness that makes intimacy such an ecstasy.
i was not prepared for the academic discussion of psychic edging
I do believe Lace is angry and resentful and has every right to be but as far as what the music says about the character... Lost Lace as a song is just so sad. She's got so much sorrow in her.

wait okay a core Thing about Hornet and Lace's relationship to me is that like yes Hornet provides or is able to provide Lace with a level of guidance but also they are peers and this works because it is not actually abstract for Hornet
she has seen gods fall. she has seen others make the same mistake re: bugs being denied personhood (though in Lace's case the depersonalization comes from inside the house. so to speak). and she has had to sit with her own grief + trauma + immense loss. she really does understand at least the broad strokes of what Lace is going through...
and she knows Lace is going to have to figure out a lot on her own which hurts to watch and makes it hard for Hornet to hold her tongue sometimes. while of course it takes time for Lace to trust Hornet re: all of that so there's some conflict
so I guess this is partially something that defines them as peers, but it's more about why Lace ultimately ever comes to take Hornet seriously/trust her at all in any context. It's not platitudes, and Lace learns that eventually.

i've gone so far down the road of justifying my hiveminds that i'm pretty sure at this point i can literally derive the mathematically necessity of my worldbuilding from a formal definition of hive mind.
at this rate im gonna straight up discover the Fundamental Theorem of Hiveminds
