a rose

Welcome

I'm 25, and I'm an artist and fledgling writer. I'm also an aspiring game dev, dreaming of making RPGs & visual novels.
You can refer to me as Vow or YLV, and with Xe/Xem/Xyr or Ze/Hir.
I love history, culture, vocal synths, visual novels, RPGS, fashion, vintage everything, Y2K, goth and punk stuff, surrealist/experimental art, tons of music, and so much MORE!
This site is meant to be a creative outlet for myself, where I can create and share whatever with reckless abandon.
I've grown tired of my addiction to social media and its negative effects on my creativity and thinking, so I've started this site in search of a way to reformat my relationship to digital spaces, and to reharness my own imagination and thoughts.
I'm searching for what the internet used to mean to me at 6-13 years old, a space separate but parallel to my real life, a playground where I can grow creatively and explore, and a place of possibility and self-expression.
And if anything on this page or website resonates with you, I highly urge you to do the same. :)
heres some of my favorite things!
