Bio
I love to write fiction stories of the supernatural, romance, high fantasy, or science fiction variety. A bit of a baby, a bit of a rolling stone, just doing my best to avoid getting arrested. @ziggyer5 on the instagram.

A Spiritual Guide Through the World of Online Roleplay Writing
The common misconception I get when I tell people I am part of an online roleplaying community is that this is a sex thing. Though topics of sex and violence are prevalent in my writing with the occasional smut post or epic battle sequence this is not in fact a sex thing. It has taken me years to describe what it is I am doing.

The Walking Dead vs. Game of Thrones: Which Trauma Porn Disappoints the Most
Original art from: here where you could also subsequently compare how the shows rate against each other in views. The judgement will be based on completely arbitrary reasonings mostly because I just want to complain about both shows. I was a fan of both for a time and though The Walking Dead (TWD) is still apparently going (much like its zombies it will not die) now that Game of Thrones (GOT) has finally died it is time to dissect these popular gloomy shows. This is full of spoilers so continue at your own risk.

Powerful With A Little Bit of Tender
I usually like to write these in lists. Top 5 reasons for this or top ten songs for that, but when it comes to an artist I admire I figured I should go a little off the beaten path in her eclectic honor. Janelle Monáe is more than just a fantastic musical artist and a talented actress. She is an innovator in modern art. So here is my love letter to this creative powerhouse who has inspired and entertained me and will continue to do so for many more years to come.

5 Romantic LGBTQ Wedding Songs
There is nothing wrong with "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran or "So High" by John Legend as your wedding day song. In fact, though very popular as wedding songs they remain undoubtedly very beautiful songs to express one's love with. That being said, sometimes as LGBTQ people it would be nice to have romantic songs written for our types of relationships by artists that understand our struggles.

I am a We: The Wachowskis take us from the Matrix to Sense8
In 1999, The Matrix blew the minds of audiences worldwide with its cyberpunk dystopian story of a computer hacker discovering the world he lived in was a simulated reality.

Matelotage: A Gay Pirate Civil Union
When one thinks of pirates a few images appear. Striped clothing, a black flag with a skull and crossed bones upon it, eyepatches, swashbuckling swordfights, or even a parrot upon one's shoulder. They are rather silly images but the truth of the matter was that pirates were one of the most feared revolutionaries in the 17th and 18th centuries. Not only were they dangerous criminals that took advantage of vulnerable ships upon the colonial seas they also represented people that rejected society as it was then.

Is It Written In The Stars?
Let me begin by stating that I was born on August 8th which makes me a very solid Leo by all standards. Growing up, this was a most inconvenient birthday since it was never during the school semesters and thus I could not have one of those fun class parties where my mom would get everyone cupcakes or something. It was in the summer though and usually fell near a weekend which meant parties with family and friends were possible and plentiful.
