Retro scene featuring vintage computers, a Game Boy, cassette tapes, and a small monitor displaying a witchy girl with cat ears and headphones, bathed in neon pink and blue lighting.

Welcome!

Hey there! I made this page as a starter point. Here's where you'll find everything you need to explore my universe. Expect a blend of gloom and cosiness, darkness that feels like a hug, quiet rebellion against the incessant noise of the world, a dash of creativity, self-care, and cats, always cats. Please remember that at the end of the day I'm just a moody hermit insomniac witch with a camera in one hand and a book in the other.

blog

i'm oldskool enough to know the importance of owning at least part of your platform. expect lifestyle musings, playlists, and media reviews, along with hopefully useful pillars on environmentalism, frugal living, books, personal style, and witchy stuff - basically, whatever i'm in the mood for.

twitch

on a random winter night i discovered a new facet of my ever-evolving identity - geriatric gamer grrl. and so my descent into the endless void of streaming began. games, lego, puzzles, journalling, coworking, and really simple needlework.

this is just an automated rss-like hub for all my other platforms. i also repost some retro anime nostalgia, bl manhwa, and occasional random-arse thoughts, though most of the latter go to my telegram.

mostly reblogs, with some short more personal posts that aren't a great fit for the blog.
