I'm Alraune, and I used to be on cybre.space, and witches.town before that. I've moved here to focus on my passions, and not get caught up in the many stressors of the fediverse. I'm here to chill, post art, and have nice conversations with nice people.

I'm a 3D artist, and like to write about games, and design concepts for them in spare time. Slowly learning code to do most of the work of gamedev myself. Also I'm a weird art goth.

Here's some of my stuff:

Being lgbt is not a choice. Being cishet is not a choice. This is a harmful and dangerous mentality that makes no damn sense and ignores the countless people put in camps or kill themselves because they can't change themselves. What is a choice is performing as if you're cishet. If you're a progressive and think this shit please reconsider. If you just wanna rile up cishets then be more creative. Even as a joke it's not at a good expense

ive gone so fucking apesit insane that i think im going to play free and/or open source games listed on http://lutris.net and then do little video reviews for them or something.

having the worst neurosis of my whole life, losing my mind, i can beat dark souls 3 in 6 hours now. im going to watch the entire disney feature film canon.

he died. if he comes back on TV it will be like weekend at bernies, people puppeteering his corpse with shades on. he'll be the first cadaver to run for office, and maybe the first to win

I can't get the smell of active dry yeast mixed with water out of my head it smells so nasty

I'm gonna call it now, Joe Biden didn't die, he was hunted for sport, tied up, and forcibly exposed to the Coronavirus and is still trapped in an angry Bernie supporters house.

I will never unsee the electoral system as being like Saw 3 now

I've been getting really good at home cooking and can confidently make pizzas, calzones, teriyaki chicken, marinara and stuff from scratch. I'm gonna try to make more Mediterranean stuff like i grew up with like pita and gozleme. I have an insane craving for stuffed olives leaves right now too

I don't know, I just think that leftists can do better than give people a prescriptive work of prose that tells them what is right and what is wrong, when you can make a creative world based on your feelings about what is right and wrong, that puts people through an emotional journey, that gets them curious and invested in a way essays don't. Ursula LeGuin probably helped more people become leftists than Peter Kropotkin in this respect.

These works of fiction were not explicitly leftist by any means, but they would challenge me to look beyond illusory aspects of society, which people I could actually rely on, how I can delude myself. A lot of games and movies and books out there will lack in a good grasp of politics in one way but then drop a giant truth bomb that completely changed your way of thinking. Even better are the ones written by leftists that have good politics and don't insult your intelligence either.

I had s really shitty childhood. I was treated like a gifted kid and overworked at school, and I was abused at home in a broken marriage, on the precipice of learning my gender I would be pushed away from it. Nothing was fair and I felt like society was designed to be this way. I wanted an escape in media to where people could be history want and could change society, what I found in various fictional stories is that those feelings are completely normal and can be channeled into a greater good
