Q: (I had a dream about you, which is why I wanted to say something... sending you contentedness n_n)
A:
Hi! thank you for thinking of me (and dreaming of me). I have not been talking to many people at all, so I apologize for any distance. I miss everyone all of the time and hope you're okay too regardeless of who you are.
Q: youre a really pretty and interesting person keep making and sharing things :>
A:
Thank you so much! You are sweet. I keep getting nice asks, and it makes me hapy. It also surprises me a lot haha!!!
These asks always make me feel like the kid from Meet the Robinsons.. Who thinks everyone hates him ahah!
Also thank you for thinking I'm pretty.. What a sweet thing to say!
Q: You are such a genuinely deeply interesting person, please always continue sharing yourself online I can't help but read it all!
A: haha! i saw the notification for this a few hours ago but got so absorbed in game jam work, i forgot to respond.
i really appreciate it. i used to not speak at all, forcing myself to be as silent as possible for many years, and lately, i miss being that way often. the gift of gab is a curse at the worst of times, so this makes me very happy!
...really though i do appreciate it. i work on my webpages with the thought no one is reading them. i release games with the hope someone plays them but try to keep expectations low. i'm a chronic message deleter because i feel like such a boring and/or unpleasant person, so this is really pleasant to me haha!

Q: Just wanted to say I think you're really cool. I admire how you write your characters, and how real they feel. I hope that you can keep making games and stories, and that Itch's current problems won't keep you feeling down. Your works are really touching and inspiring and mean a lot to me, and I'm sure they do to other people too. <3
A: thank you so much! this means a lot to me.. you are very sweet. the itchio issue.. it made me very crabby and irritable and to be honest these are understatements but now that i know itchio staff just chose to actually censor me i guess, it feels better than sitting in nebulous wondering if i did something wrong haha! seeing my friends and some peers get relisted was hard while weeks passed as i stayed hidden. it really felt like i'd been forgotten, but now i know i'm actively being suppressed haha! which probably sounds weird, but i've been dealing with a lot lately ahaha!
it's also made me be on the internet a lot less generally which is sort of nice. and it made me reevaluate a lot of things. which is always an experience that makes you a more whole human being haaha!

Q: don't ever lose hope, beautiful girl!
A: thank you!! i'll try my best. you are sweet!!
Q: Happy Birthday!
A: Thank you so much! You're so early wow!!
Q: ive just discovered ur site, its so.. awfully nostalgic.. i really do not how to explain it really, but its genuinely almost like those weird games youd dream of as a kid and then wake up at 6am on a weekend.. if that was your intention then bravo you nailed it XDD (i mean this as a compliment btw)
A: a lot of things i make are inspired by blurry memories of things i enjoyed as a kid, so this is pleasant for me to hear.
regarding intent.. when i made the site.. it was really just made to satisfy myself! everything i add.. everything i do.. is in a constant effort to make myself achieve some 'satisfaction.'
i love things that feel like dreams so perhaps that was a goal, even if it was never an explicit thing in my head! everything... is vibes based!! and sometimes i have no words for the vibes i'm aiming for. thank you so much!!!!

Q: Are your DMs open anywhere? Like Discord?
A: i have an email address i check sometimes :-) it's ophanimkei@disroot.org!!!
Q: Hi!! This isn't a question, I just wanted to say that I really dig your site and aesthetic, I'm an absolute sucker for angel themed things <3
A: thanks love! i love angels! i grew up Christian (the southern black variant) and that was one of the most important aspect of the religion to me- the presence of angels. they're often described as quite frightening in the bible which is why they shout "do not be afraid!" my mom used to listen to audio recordings of choirs where people claimed angels had joined them. i don't know what to think but the recordings were so beautiful that it's easy to see why people think angels are there!
even if i ever lose interest i'm probably tied to them by having the pseudonym name ophanimkei haha! but i doubt i ever will haha.
the site itself is also my child though i'm a bit quiet here because i'm trying to move it to a vps but i'm in HELL. we'll get there soon Surely.

Q: Do you have any plans to watch the lunar eclipse on thursday night?
A: I actually didn't know it was happening! I'd like to now that I know, but it can be hard to convince myself to go out at night! I tend to associate solar/lunar events with bad memories so it'd be nice to just watch it alone outside my dorm if the weather allows it haha! When I was young, priests would talk about the blood moon as a sign of the end.. It's funny now!
Q: when you said rpg, i thought you meant video games like baldur’s date! i came here because of that but enjoyed my stay. i like shoegaze as well and wanted to recommend a few bands: split chain, glare, and narrow head, starflyer 59, and scarlethouse - all relatively new artists.
A: hi nethazard!! yes, a lot of people think i mean rpgs when i talk about rpg maker! it's funny- i usually just lean into it and start talking about the fallout games haha. those are probably the most popular rpg games i've played. i'm actually a bit confused by the term rpg in general nowadays.
i'll definitely listen to these! i miss shoegaze.. i've been on a goth/post-punk kick, but shoegaze always calls my name.. sound of heaven.

Q: Not a question, but the art is so pretty!

Q: Hihi!!! :3 another artist/graphic designer from the south here - just want to say that i adore your website! you have a great mind for web design. B-)
