I am opening commissions!

ALT

Here are some examples with ballpark price ranges for each:

Eclipse Light is a demo I made recently as a synth tribute to the 2024 total eclipse. Something like this would cost around $120 USD.

Path to the Sky is a really fun chiptune-style piece I made for a game jam a while back. Something like this would cost around $80 USD (because it loops around the 1 minute mark).

Okay A Lot Of Funny Business Actually is a fun jazzy track I wrote for a game jam. Something like this would cost around $150 USD.

Kashei’s Palace is a royally goofy piece I made for an old TTRPG campaign I was in, representing a frequent setting and NPC. Something like this would cost about $65 (because it loops after the 45 second mark).

Inordina Woods is a piece I made as a school project a while back. Something like this would cost around $120 because live-recording an instrument like the guitar here will add to the price.

If you like any of these pieces and want one of your own, feel free to reach out to me here via DM or via email! I’ll give you more details on pricing, revisions, etc there.

Everyone Is An Idiot

Picture this:

• Two true Village Idiots, one drunk one sober
• Pixie who is mad they are a Village Idiot
• Lunatic who gets Village Idiot as a bluff and uses it
• Minion who claimed Village Idiot before they got real bluffs
• Mayor bluffing Village Idiot to protect themselves
• Philosopher who turns themselves into Village Idiot just for the lols
• Demon who joins in on the Village Idiot train just for the lols

A WHOPPING EIGHT VILLAGE IDIOT CLAIMS. OF A GAME OF TEN.

EVERYONE IS AN IDIOT. The only two not claiming Village Idiot is a Washerwoman, who got Village Idiot. And an Empath.

We take turns on who is the storyteller. And the one who did it is an absolute TROLL. So of course this was the setup.

I start out as one of the real Village Idiots. I got an evil first night.

My first response to that was “Okay I’m the drunk one.”

(No. I actually landed on the minion.)

So I spent the first day looking for my fellow Village Idiot.

Took a bit to find them. An Empath with a 0. Someone who didn’t use their ability yet (Philosopher). The Demon that wasn’t claiming to me yet.

Then I finally found my fellow Village Idiot. (Nope, it was the Pixie) I bought it and we talked about which one of us could be the drunk one. My instinct was me. Because if the storyteller is gonna choose between us, it’s always me.

Our plan was to scan the same person. See what results we get. And then interrogate them the next day.

So the Empath died in the night. I scanned another player and got good.

Next day, go straight to my “fellow Village Idiot” to see the results.

We both got good.

…Yeah that was a bust.

But we still went to interrogate the person because if one of us is sober, then that means they’re definitely good. So we confront them and ask what they are.

They said Village Idiot. (The actual other Village Idiot)

At first I said “Oh so there’s three of us.”

They said “No, I was with my fellow two Village Idiots already.”

(The Minion and the Mayor are also bluffing Village Idiot)

And that’s when the confusion started to arise.

(I wasn’t there for it, but I was explained it, the Minion didn’t get their bluffs from the Demon yet so when they were cornered by the Washerwoman asking if it was them, they said yes.)

Got much harder during nominations when the Washerwoman said both of their pings were claiming Village Idiot. (Minion and a real one)

And so both me and the Pixie, who I believed, also claimed we’re the real Village Idiots.

AND THEN THE DEMON ALSO HEARD THE LUNATIC CLAIM TO EACH OTHER THEY WERE A VILLAGE IDIOT 😂

SO WE HAD SEVEN CLAIMS OF THE SAME ROLE

Except I was actually being legit!

We didn’t get to execute anyone. Mostly cause we dropped all of it when the Washerwoman nominated.

And died.

Yeah the Minion is a Witch.

And the only person that wasn’t claiming Village Idiot is now DEAD.

We were screwed.

The Demon was a Vigormortis, so they just killed their Witch. Not much else to say. Except I was their neighbor. So take a bet on who got poisoned.

So I learned a good player was evil, AKA, my Pixie friend.

Yeah so, I didn’t figure this out till after the game and this was explained: I was the one true sober Village Idiot this whole time. But I got poisoned. So I spent the whole game thinking I was the drunk one.

So I just burst out at the Pixie asking over and over again what they are. They kept claiming Village Idiot to me.

At this point, nobody was taking anything seriously anymore.

The Empath spent the whole game playing detective, and ended up getting in a room with three other people (not me) and they ALL claimed Village Idiot in front of each other. Then when they come and talk to the rest of us, we also say we’re Village Idiots.

Then the Philosopher reveals they changed characters to Village Idiot.

Everybody was screaming at their face. “WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!”

Literally just for the lols.

(So I would’ve been screwed even if I wasn’t vigor poisoned)

At least the Lunatic finally came out about being a Lunatic and they were bluffing Village Idiots. And there was no way with this many claims no one was actually a Village Idiot.

Then they nominated.

And they died cause they were Witch Cursed.

That vote didn’t go through.

TRULY. A VILLAGE OF IDIOTS.

At that point, nobody cared about the Demon anymore.

“Hey guys, two people dropped dead cause they couldn’t keep their mouths shut. The Empath had a heart attack. And someone fell out of bed and broke their crown. I don’t think there’s actually a Demon amongst us, I think we’re all just a village of idiots.” - Me

The Pixie went ahead and nominated me. Reason? I’m annoying. That’s it.

I said I’m the REAL Village Idiot this whole time. Let me give you my Village Idiot info. *Witch* Is Evil. *Village Idiot* Is Good. *Pixie* Is Evil. Either I figured out the game or I’m the drunk Village Idiot. In that case, I am perfectly okay with dying.

“I am either THE Village Idiot, or I am the Village DUMBASS.”

Anyway they executed me. It’s one Village Idiot down. I would protest, but I didn’t care anymore. I didn’t want to live in this town anymore.

“Any last words?”

“I’m surrounded by IDIOTS.”

So that’s how I died.

I was not much use the rest of this game. Cause I was just hoping that the other Village Idiot was the sober one. And even if not, we had a Philosopher.

And the Pixie finally came clean to me that they were the Pixie the whole time and mad that they were the Village Idiot. I had to congratulate them cause I was convinced.

But I didn’t process I was sober. Because in my mind “If I was the sober one, I would not have gotten an evil ping on you.”

Basically, SOMEHOW, we won with a Mayor Victory.

The Mayor was a part of the Village Idiot Octuple Claim to hide themselves. And we all just decided “You know what? Just believe them. If they’re lying, screw it. We should all believe this like the idiots we are.”

And I got explained after the victory that I was the one true starting sober Village Idiot, got correct information twice, and the third time I got wrong info because I was Vigormortis Poisoned.

A frustrating part of the mainstream vegan “love all animals and protect the environment” mindset is the fact that things need to die in real-life ecology all the time but deer hunting season makes icky feelings and carp culls aren’t cottagecore

The vegan “any animal death ever is morally wrong” mindset doesn’t hold up when:

We don’t have any of the large predators we used to (black bears, mountain lions, or gray wolves) but still retain large deer populations. If nothing is removing animals, they’ll quickly overload the carrying capacity of the environment and have massive losses to starvation and disease that can also pass on to livestock. Human hunters replace the large predators that our landscape can no longer support.

It’s kinder to euthanize an un-releasable hawk rather than try to find it a permanent home with humans. Wildlife rehabs have extremely limited space and resources and are usually run entirely on donated money and volunteer time. Only a few are large and stable enough to care for permanent residents long-term, and those spots are few and far between.

An invasive species poses a danger to threatened native wildlife. I will admit- Australian possums are adorable. But not in New Zealand, where they’re an invasive species that eats the eggs of ground-dwelling birds that previously had no such predators. The landowners I worked with replanting native bush, all native Maori, had no qualms about setting the dogs on them.

I don’t know how to end this except. Sometimes things just gotta die and acting otherwise just isn’t a realistic expectation.

veganism is a political movement that is primarily concerned with dismantling systems of animal slavery & exploitation, namely those at work in the massively lucrative animal agriculture industry. beyond that, it is a philosophy that strives to reduce harm to animals as much as is practically possible, so it addresses many areas in which animals are suffering, particularly at the hands of humans (whether directly or indirectly).

it is not, as you posit, concerned with eliminating death for animals altogether, or with equating all animal death with human notions of “morality”. suggesting as such is absolutely absurd, so don’t be surprised that the vegan crowd wasn’t too impressed with your little think piece.

wild animal populations

many vegan people, including myself, advocate for the reintroduction of predator animals in order to restore balance to our ecosystems. it would be much more natural and ethical than enabling further human hunting, and there is no reason our landscape couldn’t be restored in order to support our native predators again.

I live in the UK, where the hunting to extinction of all wolves has caused deer overpopulation that devastates our landscape. but a huge reason why the wolves were hunted to extinction in the first place was because they killed livestock, damaging farmer profits in the process. and a huge reason we’re struggling so much to get any predators reintroduced is because ecological activists are coming up against incredibly tough pushback from the animal agriculture lobby - on the exact same basis. human hunts would likely be totally unnecessary if it wasn’t for this fact.

wildlife rehab

I’ll admit, I’ve never heard of a vegan person expressing objective moral disdain for a wildlife rehab center that is forced to euthanize an un-releasable animal, and outside of a hypothetical disagreeable few I find it hard to imagine this kind of person existing. I could imagine someone finding the idea… sad? maybe that’s what you experienced?

either way, vegan people are also interested in addressing the root causes that are overwhelming our current rehab & shelter systems. obviously, human harm to wildlife via environmental pollution is a huge one - and many wild animals end up in rehab as a direct result from… you guessed it, animal agriculture.

if you’re active in ecologist or vegan online spaces, you’ll constantly be flooded videos of the harm that’s being done: predatory birds having to be pulled out of piles of poorly disposed waste slurry, seagulls & ducks trying to catch fish in areas where the same waste slurry is being pumped into the ocean and rivers, marine animals getting caught up in discarded fishing nets… the extent of the damage to wildlife that would be completely avoidable if it weren’t for animal agriculture’s impunity cannot be understated.

vegan people also have pretty routine discussions about animal shelters that cater to domesticated animals like dogs and cats, and the underlying problem that profit-driven breeders create by completely overpopulating urban areas with stray animals, which is in turn driven by the consumer entitlement that suggests companion animals should be purchasable on command.

it’s a helpful conversation that exercises destigmatization of rescue shelters that are forced to utilize euthanasia to avoid overcrowding and provide care for more animals, and points the finger back towards the people & forces that are really responsible. and that’s what veganism is really all about - reducing harm to animals by figuring out its major causes and addressing them. it’s quite simple once you decide to stop wilfully misinterpreting it.

invasive species

again, I’ve yet to encounter a vegan person that is fundamentally opposed to the idea of humans taking regulative action against invasive species for the sake of preserving the health of an ecosystem. most vegan discussion I’ve seen around it is in opposition to the cultural crassness that planned violence against animals can enable.

for example, I’ve seen a post here in this website where non-vegan people were gleefully, almost cartoonishly discussing the slaughter of invasive lionfish. and living here in the UK, I’m also forced to share a country with hunt organizations that unapologetically take great pleasure in carrying out mass animal slaughter in the name of environmental regulation. the amount of convicted animal abusers that these groups regularly churn out is absurd.

it is sad to think about animals dying when we are responsible for their misplacement, and when they themselves have done nothing wrong - I should think that much is healthy and sane to admit. especially when they’re going up against humans and our hunt dogs, whom they hardly stand a chance against. so obviously, if there was a way that we could deal with invasive animals through other methods, vegan activists would be interested in pursuing & supporting that. death is natural, and planned death is sometimes necessary, but that doesn’t mean it’s not still a form of harm, or shouldn’t be avoided whenever possible.

since the topic of Indigenous people has been brought up, it’s worth remembering that almost all domesticated animals could be considered invasive species in many areas of the world, especially via historical Colonialism, which targetedly harms Indigenous people.

and of course, our good old friend animal agriculture played an enormous role in this, too. the introduction of cattle to the Americas (and the subsequent mass-seizing of land for the purpose of cattle ranching) was responsible for swathes of deforestation and environmental damage, which obviously impacted Native American people in many negative ways. billions of cows, sheep and pigs have all been regularly forced onto colonized land throughout history, and the harm to the environment, to wildlife, and to human wellbeing and health caused by this is completely unprecedented.

“Stuck in the timeloop as a punishment” is cool and all, but stuck in the timeloop voluntarily though? Oh, brother. Stuck in the timeloop cause you just can’t move on. Stuck in the timeloop even if you know that it’s not real and whatever should’ve happen already did. Stuck in the timeloop even if doesn’t makes you happy. You just can’t bear the thought of not being able to see them ever again. Stuck in the timeloop even if you know you should move on. Stuck in the timeloop even if you know they would want you to move on.

But maybe just a little while longer.
