What I Love

When not in scrubs, it's an all black fit for me. Comic books are me, Flips at the thrift, video games, and aesthetic are life.

Comics

Longbox flips, and Niche issues like CZARFACE and Moonknight for are what I collect. Comics are my favorite way to break off into a story — Cape, Superpowers, Superhero Outfit and all.

Ask me what I am reading right now — I will absolutely tell you, at length.

The Flip Life

Thrifting and yard sales are a treasure hunt with a paycheck at the end. I love the find, the haggle, the clean-up, and the moment a five-dollar find turns into real profit.

Every weekend has a route. Every route has a story.

Video Games

Gaming is how I unwind, compete, and keep in touch with friends. From story-driven worlds to late-night matches, the controller is never far away.

One more match is never just one more match.

All-Black Everything

The wardrobe, the room, the vibe. Being alternative is not a costume I put on — it is the baseline. Black on black, and I love Halloween too.

Yes, I own color. No, you will rarely see it.

The Aesthetic

Black isn't a phase. It's a palette.

Some people wear color to feel like themselves. I wear black — most of my closet, most of my room, most of my life. It's not gloom; it's comfort, identity, and a little bit of theater. Alternative isn't a label I picked up — it's the default setting.
