Ahoy!

I'm Wain, it's a pleasure to greet you.

I bet you're wondering what the whole deal is about this place. Really, there are a couple of deals.

• This is the place I host all my writing. I ocasionally write short stories for a writing collective called the Courtyard. I've been a part of it since about 2021. Friendly warning, that does mean that some of the things on this site are things I wrote at 16. Many of my works can be organized by their settings on a semi-universal scale. It's complicated.
• This is sorta the best place to keep up to date with the broad strokes of who I am (bar Knowing Me In Person). I try to keep my about me pretty up to date and I plan on getting a proper blog up and running sometime soon. This is especially of value because I'm not on social media, so my immediately available online presence is pretty much constrained to this.

• “THIS ‘HTML5’ IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE OPPRESSORS”

That's a Doozy - 10/5/2026

Released the first part of a pretty big undertaking today. Spawn 1. I have about a third of what I plan to release prepared right now, but I have wind in my sails and that will take me most of the way there. Ideally, I release something every day for a hot minute. That will be cool. Check the site for updates on that! Listening to The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground.

Screw Signals - 9/29/2026

Stress about exams has been kicking my butt! The one I was the most worried about ended up being fair and also surprisingly essential to my understanding. Despite that, I still don't enjoy signals or systems. Well, transfer functions are fine.

Hooo Bizzle - 9/17/2026

Been so busy! My new semester has started and it's a bunch of work. All my hobbies are coming back to life one by one, which is a scary threat to my free time. Hoping and praying bass is next but I'm pretty happy with drawing, writing, sewing, and martial arts for now. Something in my brain's been telling me to write fanfic, which I've never done before. Also I've been hot as hell recently, just a seriously attractive individual. I look like every hopeful picrew I made at age 15 AND I have a great personality AND I'm quite skilled at a handful of things that I enjoy doing AND I'm a smart cookie to top it all off. Currently listening to U by underscores, Lincoln by They Might Be Giants, and Juno Goes to the Big House by Sorry Mom.

Happy Pride Bitchezzz - 6/1/2026

I decided to get really excited about this because being excited is really fun. Listening to Born This Way by Lady Gaga.

Boo! - 5/29/2026

Been a little bit. Working on creative endeavors unrelated to this site. Except I'm putting them on the site slowly but surely! My partner and I's 3rd anniversary was recently, we talked about old creepypasta insert-name-the-killer type OCs and then made our own. I wrote a lil bit of that, it was fun. They cut my hair also, it went from pretty long to pretty short. I like it so far. Maybe starting a campaign using The Black Hack soon, thinking a campaign diary page here could be fun.

... Now What? - 5/13/2026

Now that everything's done, I can't just do work on the website. I have to actually put stuff on it now! How awful! Just kidding, I already wrote something new to cap off Cloud 1. Am a little rusty, but it was fun to play with formatting. That's usually my favorite part of writing. Currently listening to Between Two Lungs by Florence + The Machine.

ITS FINALLY OVER - 5/12/2026 II

It's done! All of the currently existing pages have been made up-to-date with the new theme! Mobile viewing is better than ever, all the navigation is handled, everything is reachable. High-fives were let loose all around.

Next Stage - 5/12/2026

Finishing off the formatting for the last few pages today! Might even sneak in some mobile format optimization finally. I've been playing a lot of TTRPGs and making a lot of presentations on things that don't really matter. Been drawing more frequently, especially if you focus on more finished pieces. That's quite fun. My sister is back in town, which is great. She's sorta the greatest of all time and is the only person I know that regularly outswags me. Listening to Hissing Prigs in Static Couture by Braniac and The Jester by Wallice.

Long Overdue - 4/25/2026

Finally went and got all the writing up to speed with the new layout. Now that I have no more classes (just finals, eek!) I feel a lot less like I'm spending time somewhere I shouldn't be when I'm messing with this site. Listening to U by underscores.
P.S. I pretty much understand flex boxes now.

Good Morning Wednesday - 4/22/2026

Dressed more close-fitting than my usual, its nice. Closing out my semester. Had my longest lucid dream to date, I took it slow and made sure to enjoy it without getting too crazy. Even though it's a little chilly, I'm having a good day and I'm getting quite a bit done. It feels good. Listening to BRAT by Charli xcx and cheshire days by Ashley Ninelives.

Sighs whistfully - 4/21/2026

I think about this site all the time. I have big dreams, a lot I want to write. What I have is so disconnected, while I like the little glimpses into the world that I have it isn't enough. I want to write more, too. Get a bigger place to put out my longer thoughts, maybe figure out how to format them in a way that's less rambly. A good friend of mine recommended I start a substack, that seems a bit ambitious. I have daydreams of self improvement and as a reflection of me this site fits into those dreams. It's beautiful outside and I'm all hopeful and angry and excited and worried and it makes everything feel realer. I'm listening to Let's Build a Roof by LAKE and Spirit Orb by chloe moriondo. What a lovely day.

I'm not a perfectionist - 3/28/2026

In the past few days something has really gotten into me. I've always been the type to just get something workable and done and then move on. That's not to say I don't like doing things right when I can, there's always room for improvement. Now, though, I have a constant interest in making things as good as I possibly can. I went 'oh, I could swing revamping my site this week' and then I put every bit of leverage my ass could muster into that swing. It's fun to be better, but I have to be careful. I know how dangerous an empowered inner critic can be.
Today, I'm listening to American Thighs by Veruca Salt

Now would you look at that - 3/27/2026

Ground away at this new theme, damn does it feel good now that I've got it underway. I almost understand flex boxes!
