"There's a monster at the end of this book. It's the blank page where the story ends and you're left alone with yourself and your thoughts."
- Welcome to Night Vale


I'm late on a lot of things a lot of the time. Whenever you're upset about this, refer here to know that I'm deeply sorry that I'm a lazy no-good filled to the brim with anxiety.

I go by a few different pseudonyms, so feel free to call me Elk, Aecian, or Birdy. They/them pronouns.

I have a deep and undying love for reading, birds, rock music, and heavy metal. I'm extremely passionate about animals and nature in general. I live on a small farm in Idaho, and have been around livestock my entire life. Currently, I am going to school to earn a degree in wildlife biology.
