I’ve been hesitant to show my face online post-FFS. Its taken me a while to work up the nerve, honestly. But here you go: Have some hand-crafted artisanal face.

![In 2004 a young man stands in an open courtyard in Columbus, Indiana. He's wearing a long flowing black canvas coat, and a black leather vest over a white shirt with black leather pants. Around his neck is a spiky necklace and in his ear is a dagger earring. His long black hair is pulled back into a tight ponytail. He's at a V:tM LARP playing Xavier Murdoch, a winged Gangrel who was far too intimate with the Tremere. He's sad. He has not started estrogen yet. [He also doesn't know it, but this is one of the last times he will be in the same room with three of his dear friends, all of whom will die over the next few years.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:g3lg44wystm46lcv4nkseqlq/bafkreihvl2gil5cvnrolfasyw7hghoqv54jefo672nd5oj3vh4agsksr5a)
