Dark Secrets of That Disgusting Old Yu-Gi-Oh Card Art

If you don’t believe me about it being disgusting, just look at the banner. Or at this:

suzypavlis: A New Website for Conlang Nonsense

To my mild embarrassment, I’ve tacked another hobby on to my list of hobbies: web design. Enter suzypavlis, which is currently a home for the lyrics of, like, six songs in artificial languages that vanishingly few people use.

Biased Yet Scientific List of the Greatest Anime Boys

In the name of psychoanalyzing myself over and over again until I implode, I’ve recently examined the anime characters I find, or have found, most aesthetically appealing.

These are not my favorite boys of 2026. They are my favorites as chosen by my younger selves throughout time and space. Also, because the anime I’ve watched lately have been in the single digits, my list stops short at, like, 2015. Let’s get scratchin’!

The Feminine, Masculine, And/Or Nonbinarinine Within?

Colors Are So Delicious

All my other blog post WIPs require me to do more research (AKA more watching of shows) and I just haven’t circled back to that. Yet I wanted to post something, so here I am!

I like colors, I think they are very pleasing, please enjoy a carousel of color-related topics.

Tales from the Ace Zone: Sex and Gender Musings

Okay, get this: did you know that gender, sex, sexuality, romance, and aesthetic attraction…that they…that they might, might…they might…you know, they….they might be related???

I honestly didn’t because I thought I was too weird and too far beyond these things. It took some really roundabout reflection to reach these roundabout conclusions.

We Want Catgirl System and We Want It Now!

Seriously, how am I doing with this story?

Searching for Erotic Non-Erotica

In my mind, the typical exploration of sexual psychology in literary fiction is one of these:

A character meets someone at a bar, then has a one-night stand. The one-night stand represents their alienation and the thrill of something secret.
A character has a weird kink or paraphilia, one that’s probably criminal or sadistic in nature. It represents the depravity of humanity or the downfall of society. The story perhaps unintentionally suggests that anyone in real life with a weird kink or paraphilia is a depraved human emblematic of the downfall of society.

I’m so bored.

Prison School Said “No Sex Forever”

Sad but true: sometimes we can only embrace our LGBTQ+ identities through watching the straightest cis-est shit of all time.

Behind the Cast of Catgirl System

On a whim, I decided to write about characters from this story I’m making, what inspired them, and how I made certain story decisions with them. Let’s get rollin’!
