nigerrimus noctis — the blackest night.

a pinned post I must write when I should be in bed at night an introduction long overdue forgotten somewhere in my queue

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION.

about the curator.

Legally adult, aroace, he/they pronouns, an introvert from East Asia. I’ll always be vague about RL, don’t bother asking for details.

Writer and poet; multi-genre experimentalist. Semi-retired roleplayer, for now—maybe I’ll return if I get the chance to meet more like-minded partners to collaborate with.

Virtual photographer and graphic designer in love with dark academia.

Omni-job raider in FFXIV; currently BLM main. I enjoy blind runs for the chaos.

Current obsessions: my muses (always), murder mystery, classical music, learning new languages.

about this blog.

Main account; all follows, likes and asks will come from here.

Multi-fandom; a personal space for me to post, share, and reblog things I like and enjoy. Mostly FFXIV, FFXV and NieR, with sprinkles of anime.

Runs on queue. Sometimes I may post manually out of the blue, but don’t count on that to keep tabs on my activity here. Updates will be sporadic.

Self-reblogs are less about timezone visibility and more about personal reflections of my own creations. Would greatly appreciate people reblogging my content to keep these thoughtful insights intact.

Askbox is always open for ask games, to talk about blorbos; anon is on. Be nice or be blocked.

18+ only; may contain NSFW. Mature contents (i.e. nude as art form) will be flagged appropriately. Trigger warnings may be tagged if necessary or upon request. Strictly no explicit sexual graphics; fade to black only for writing.

additional info.

For FFXIV folks who only want to follow me for gpose, kindly visit @xivacademia instead.

Please always check for any warnings on my respective blogs for your own safety and curate your own experience. Do not be a jerk and try to police me.
