Time is scary and this page never gets any easier. But, if you insist... my name is Rems (she/they) and I am the webmistress of these parts. Once upon a time I had another handle prior to this, but it's been long enough now that Rems is likely what you know me as.feel the wind eternal
So, what's to know about the person behind the domain? I'm now in my thirties, and have been making websites since my early teens. When I'm not sleeping or finding it difficult to sit upright - which happens fairly regularly these days - you can find me playing video games or writing. Sometimes I'll watch things. Sometimes I'll sleep some more. Sometimes I'll buy yet another nendoroid. Sometimes I'll stay up in the small hours with insomnia scrolling through tumblr. Y'know, people things. Edgey.
As mentioned, I do write (bowblade at AO3), and I have a writing twitter for that, if you want to give it a follow. Regular fics in this economy is not guaranteed but I do my best. I take part in Nanowrimo every November, so be fairwarned for ranting about the regular 50k when that rolls around.
As of the end of 2016, I've been suffering with diagnosed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, which has, in a phrase, shot my creativity and ability to do very much at all. Every day is a struggle, particularly when your body is keen to sabotage you and demand disproportional amounts of energy for what you actually successfully do; personally I am housebound and my limits now dictate that I can just about eat and keep up with basic daily hygiene needs. I have a lot of restrictive symptoms and am just left to manage it entirely alone. Perhaps if I'm lucky I'll get to engage with the things I love beyond daily tasks. I decided to include this about myself for the sheer fact that CFS/ME is a hugely underesearched, no treatment, no cure chronic illness, and if I have any job left anymore, it's to spread awareness for it. (And if you also have it, I see you.) #millionsmissing
I'm very much a gamer. Most of my recreational time is poured into video games, because it's the best of both worlds: the narrative to rival novels and the visuals of a movie, the engagement of me playing the protagonist in the starring role. I feel so much more involved in a game, so much more immersed: and I can and will disappear into a game for a week and then return with it the only thing on my mind. I'm usually on my PS5 or my Switch in some capacity. My general genre go-to is RPG (or JRPG), but I'll sometimes wind up in adventure-action. You can get a general idea of what I've been playing recently by looking at my tumblr or psnprofile.
I play Overwatch 2 and Final Fantasy XIV daily. You can catch me on Ultros as Prihsciya Lockati... actually, here are some Wols. Please perceive them.
I'll openly admit I'm not into the anime and manga circuit as much as I once was, but Cardcaptor Sakura holds a special place in my heart. I'm an animated film buff, a lover of a good sci-fi flick, and a sucker for a good love story. Or anything to do with relationships, platonic or not. And vampires. And grief. Give me a dysfunctional family unit and I'll be happy.
I've been loitering with cyber creations since May 27th, 2004. It occurs to me that there are people on the internet that are younger than the accumulative years I've spent site making. I'm old. The end.
