Artist, nerd, pretty cool guy. Lover of stories and media in general; ask me about character analysis. Strong feelings about AI, don't get that nonsense near me.

A good friend is planning on running a PTU game soonish! We're allowed 2 Pokémon to start with, and it's gonna be sorta exploration-survival-ey, so I'm playing my moody bartender to handle cooking :V He's getting an Audino and Indeedee to help with chores, and he's gonna throw hands in battles :')

So many people, even near-strangers, tell me that things will work out because I genuinely love other people and refuse to be bitter. I've had people tell me it was refreshing to talk because it gave them some sort of hope. I feel stupid for believing them at this point. I want things to be better.

Things have been rough again, so a friend gave me the most cursed encouragement for working on my project. "You know, if the power scalers ever get a hold of your project, they're going to argue whether or not Lens has toon force." She's very sure I'll finish it, which is cool. But like c'mon

I love having an autistic meltdown augmented with a flashback episode and everyone winds up thinking I'm a dick because I'm trying to get clarification about two conflicting sets of rules and starting to bug out because no one understands me. Which is to say that EDH league isn't work out for me ._.

My LGS is starting up an EDH league! It's for a semi-competitive B3 group, so I wanted to test my Myrkul build! The TO's using EDHREC to judge brackets, and Myrkul trips over a lot of B4 combos. But Avacyn+Worldslayer is B3! Judge made it clear he wouldn't use context or nuance for deck checks :)

Not able to make it to the closing ceremony of Drachenfest due to my body finally realizing I hadn't been using my cane for a week (I'm so happy it took a whole week!) but I very much enjoyed my time, to the point I'm making my partner watch The Dark Crystal for research for next year :)

Marvel × MTG prerelease was great! I now have even more people saying I should read Immortal Hulk! But no, it was nice just playing a game and chatting and listening to people get super excited about two things they love. Also double-faced Bruce Banner is a dumb card :D Won every game he hit board

English always feels like a terrible language to communicate emotions with. I don't know if any other languages are better, but metaphors and images feel more meaningful than saying you're sad or depressed. Anyways, chemical depression sucks. I work hard to stay in a good mood despite reality :I
