It's so hard not to blame myself for everything, but I'm going to move forward. That's the only option we have sometimes, even in the face of utter despair. 000
travisland93.bsky.social @travisland93.bsky.social · 21/04/2025I've got a really cool design going for Tavinnbrook. Think of Slay the Princess mixed with Frieren set in medieval times. I'm really excited for the direction it's going! I don't know when my next update will be, but I'm still here :) 000
