You can buy stuff on my ko-fi. I would like it if you did because it would help me make rent and stuff. There are art prints (as in I physically stamp the art). There are TTRPGs including my Symphogear homage Blazing Hymn. There is a super self-indulgent zine. ko-fi.com/peachgardeng...

Hello yes it's me, the queer, now officially 40 🎉

There's also writing but feeling like you're not writing ENOUGH and going insane.

Tis my balloon day! Tell me something fun. Something that made you grin recently, a book you're planning on devouring in one sitting, a TTRPG co-conspirator you think I'd get along with, a not-so-secret thing you're working on, a brand of coffee/tea that's brought you comfort.
