Bio time.

I am entirely too old for this. I work for a living. Sometimes I write, and sometimes I draw, real life permitting. Currently back home with one of my earliest internet-era fandoms.

Oh hey! Are you a woman or nonbinary person who loves other women? Or just prefer femslash/wlw/nblw ships? The Final Fantasy Lily League Discord server is looking for members. Hit me up for an invite.

RP/ask tumblr for Ryo/Mille/Monodramon: (indefinite hiatus until I can get my cintiq working again)

A note for anyone expecting updates from me any time soon: I work for a living in a career that's incredibly intellectually demanding. I also travel for work a lot. This takes up so much of my time that I rarely have any time at all to write. So, updates will never be as fast as they used to be. I apologize for this.
