Djinnaya @djinnaya.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Yayoi Kusama, Dolly Parton, Tim Curry.... I don't know what your plans were for the next couple of weeks, but you should include creating some kind, joyful, awesomeness so we can each throw a cup of wonder back into the empty ocean that these three leave behind. 010

Djinnaya @djinnaya.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I had an absolutely stellar time at @goplaynw.bsky.social! My heart is full, and my long love affair with indie ttrpgs is rekindled to a roaring blaze. Thanks, game friends, for being some of the best humans. 051
Djinnaya @djinnaya.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Hey friends, I'm decorating a new home and looking for illustrators who do things like desk mats and maybe even curtain patterns in a whimsy, witchy, dark aesthetic and who do not use AI for their art. Thanks in advance! 16150
Djinnaya @djinnaya.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Dear world, I am no longer taking feedback on whether I am too old for hobbies or cosplays or sports or clothing styles. I'm likely going to do them eventually, so if my age makes you uncomfortable now, postponing with your BS is just going to make it worse for you. So, get wrecked. Love, Djinnaya 150

Djinnaya @djinnaya.bsky.social · 19/04/2026One gift of player-directed stories is the moment when a player's face lights up because they are sure they know the answer to how to beat the baddie, and then they go for it. Is it what is in my notes as the answer? No. Am I diving into the idea that it is with my whole creative self? Absolutely. 0102
Djinnaya @djinnaya.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Looking for a game recommendation for a solo rpg that is a horror/chthonic subterranean explore with lots of space for me to decide what the face of horror is. The vibe I am looking for is a solo bluebeard's bride, but underground. Is there such a thing, or am I just writing another game? 471
