I'm a passionate activist for LGBPTQIA+ rights.
I love mysteriousness and discussing heavy/uncomfortable topics through art, as I'm sure you'll quickly notice in my stories.

Interacting with other artists/fans online makes me happy, so feel free to leave plenty of comments here or on my personal sites below!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello my fellow weirdos! HAPPY PRIDE!!!

It has been so long since I've posted here, wow! I have missed chatting with you all so much! Feel free to update me on anything you'd like to below <3 To celebrate Pride month, I wanted to share more of my work with you on Tapas rather than only on Webtoon!

I hope you enjoy RESONANCE, a romance sci-fi comic about astronauts... who all happen to be super queer. I affectionately call them my "space gays," hence the link to the comic:

https://tapas.io/series/spacegays

(Resonance was taken LMAO)

I've been so grateful for your comments and likes on WS now that I'm posting here again as well, so I hope you enjoy having even more to read! :D

<3, Riv

Hey friends <3 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!

I had all of these plans for pride month, but I just got out of the hospital and am still really not doing well (I feel the same as when I got there.. which is pretty crap). SO for now, I'm gonna just post some recaps/extras in the next week or two while I take a break from stress on my heart since I have pericarditis (inflammation around my heart) and even breathing is painful how sad and lame lol

If you'd like more content from me in the meantime, I might give an update on YouTube and I already have some new videos that you all might have missed:

Sounds icky! Get well soon! (or at least as well as you can manage. As someone with chronic illnesses, I know that sometimes "well" isn't really something attainable, but manageable is sometimes achievable.)

@tvgold LOL thank you :)

@Snerline Thank you <3

@Morrigan thank you! :D

@Vexel Aww thanks! :D haha you're right! :) I just wanted to make something special for all of you!

@Zen Exactly! It's always good to just go as far as you can. I'm personally happy now with just any improvement at all...for many reasons
