Hey there stranger

I have no idea if it's customary to introduce yourself on Tumblr. Don’t know much about Tumblr tbh, in its peak, I was deep (and I mean deep) into RP forums so I kind of missed the boat.

Anyways, I’m the tipsy geek, also known as Arikanthus, also known as Ciaran Damhain (on ffxiv), Eldiir, and a plethora of other names.

I play video games, play tabletop RPGs (mostly GMs tbf), paint minis (my partner prints them, too), draw sometimes, write sometimes, watch too much horror movies, and talk way too much about my pets.

Can’t wait to chat!

(That’s a picture of my WoL I made last year, btw)

My partner specializes in marine themed games, apparently 😂

I'm planning to revive my blog sort of so I've been toying around in procreate to make an avatar/icon. It's not perfect but it'll do nicely for now :)

The Tunnel

There is no light.

Already well over a year with this planner... it's gonna be time to say goodbye soon 😭

I completed my air/storm/cloud elemental family. I'm not so sure about the gradients on either but I wanted to go sunny vs stormy days.

I lived in fear that the owner of this car would start it without checking for a whole damn afternoon.

There were three little squirrels hiding there!

I had a tonne of fun playing Soul Hackers 2! The enemies' designs were really cool and the story was fun. Although I was a little disappointed to have only 4 characters, I enjoyed the depth with which you could get to know them.

We need more 40-hour RPGs that don't overly feel bloated with meaningless fetch quests. Great balance!

Comes with a high recommendation from me 😁

A few months back, the company I was working for was acquired by another, much bigger, much American-er company. They'd been overworking their current writer and were looking for a new one to help them out. So I was kept on the payroll.

Current writer trained me, but it's a slow-moving company so there was only so much I could do in that time frame.

Said writer quit, their last day was last week. I can't fault them. It's not a great environment. They weren't valued. Super happy they found a job that was a better fit!

But now I'm stuck not knowing how to do this job or navigate this company and I lose so much sleep over it.

Sometimes, I think it'd have been easier to be let go.

Friend: If this shit goes on, they'll start adding boobs to the grocery list.

Me: Say no more, I got you, fam.

One of my upcoming miniature painting project. I had started the smaller version way back when but one of the antlers broke.

Anyways, can't wait to get to this one!

My partner and I started our board game adventure with The Isle of Cats 😸

Super fun game, but so many moving parts haha!
