welcome to my site! this will (eventually) be home to all that dwells within the recesses of my brain. you will learn about my interests, my worlds, & any projects i decide to take up. the current format is based upon this template, inspired by ayu's brilliant site.
want to get in touch? my email is celsient[at]pm[dot]me and my discord can be worked out by all wise and worldly individuals. i like communicating through text.

he lives with my parents but he is still my despotic special boy
i have a great love of worldbuilding, the practice of creating fictional worlds and characters. it's an activity that provides me a lot of comfort. i even started a worldbuilding society in my university to meet others equally neurotic for this kind of creation.
what are my worlds?
🛰 ️DUAL RECKONINGS
alien world staring down the apocalypse. setting focusing on the past 20 decades of imperial expansion into space, the seven-week-ascendance, the conflict era, the cifrian schism, and the science of neurethemy. the smaller scale story of dual reckonings itself is about a burnout who goes to space and contacts a new kind of divinity, a messiah dreading their kingdom to come, and a wretched young woman who will redeem her family name and become god in the process. themes of transness, isolation, disability, and grief.
🌫THE ALMANAC LOST TO FOG / FOGWORLD
the world is wrapped in fog and its beasts go about mindlessly, ruled only by base desire. but thought pools with the many, and when people gather in high enough density, the fog parts. towering cities, trade caravans, orders of monastic therapists, and a world that cannot remember what it's supposed to be. obvious metaphor for brainfog and cognitive impairment. broadly epistolary — told through a trove of in-universe documents.
