"A Rival Appears"
That's me or just Rival works of course. Points to you if you know where I stole the name from. For starters you can find me on Bluesky
I'm a 30 something year old queer white guy living in Texas.Now some ramblings about me
Ideally I would be like a more homeless version of "The Dude" but for now I work how I can to support my myriad hobbies.
I play a lil music (Cello, Doublebass, and Mountain Dulcimer). I play some games (mostly indie roguelikes). I do some crafts which you can learn more about on the appropriate page. I really enjoy the outoors though disablility has made it harder to get out for more than a couple hours without a ton of pre-planning. My years in the Scouts thankfully gave me plenty of good memories, so I'm able to cope with not being as capable as before. I've picked up film photography in recent years. Took a while to find a working affordable camera locally. I'm also an avid vtuber fan and will beg you to please watch Alice Sawyer on twitch dot tv. I'm to the point of running a fansite for her which I will not post here.
My Resident Evil style glowing weakpoint is just to the right of my belly button. Meaning I've got a permanent ileostomy (If you don't know what that is then I must warn you that looking it up might have gross results). I've been living with it since January of 2025 and I'm always open to talking about my experience if you're interested.
