2020 was a tough year, and with the way 2021 is shaping up to be, it’s not going to be a big improvement any time soon. Of course, the recently started vaccination is a good step in the right direction, and there is some light at the end of the tunnel, but in the more … Continue reading Now we’re stressed out

2020 in hindsight
2020 was the year I was going to get my shit together. I had big plans pertaining to writing again, after spending several years on and off trying without much success. I love writing, but I have often struggled to put that first word onto paper. Once that’s written down, the rest comes almost naturally, … Continue reading 2020 in hindsight
Kaylirr’s Yin and Yang – Part 2
`Alright then, be careful on the road.’ The guard let their small caravan through without much issue. Security was tightened significantly after the recent events that had taken place in and around the Celeran Canopy.

The Webtoon anime adaptations were underwhelming
And here's why: I wrote the first draft for this about two months ago, when the Noblesse anime had just started airing and I was about one third of the way through the God of Highschool webtoon. When I finished writing it I wasn’t quite confident in what I wrote so I decided to put … Continue reading The Webtoon anime adaptations were underwhelming

My Hero Academia worries me
And here's why: This contains spoilers for the My Hero Academia manga up to chapter 292. Shonen Jump is a beast of its own in many ways.

Kaylirr’s Yin and Yang
`You ready, boss?’ Sairoc was standing next to the wagon we were supposed to protect. The people we were with were already on the carts, and the horses were all drawn in front of it.`Ready as always, buddy.’ Kaylirr picked up his swords and put them under his belt. Their company of mercenaries was hired … Continue reading Kaylirr’s Yin and Yang
I am obsessed with quality.
It’s something I’ve run into again and again during my life. I am obsessed with quality. If it won’t reach a certain quality then it’s not worth doing. Well, that’s what it boils down to at the end of all of it. It’s not something I actively think. Logically I know that not everything has … Continue reading I am obsessed with quality.
On being overestimated.
One of the perks of high-functioning autism is that I’m generally decent at hiding my issues. I often get people who are surprised when I tell them about my autism. It’s not something I keep a secret by any means, but if it’s not relevant I won’t always bring it up either. This does result … Continue reading On being overestimated.
