“Just your average Victorian Goth trying to survive the southern heat”
Brief Bio: I’m a nerdy, goth, trans, D&D and video game addict who’s had to curtail her comic book addiction due to space issues. I’m a huge fan of Critical Role. I’ve started to become a podcast devourer. And I fund these and my addiction to coffee by teaching at Tier 1 Research University.
