Where my lore started

These are just some of the things that have made my lore list to the gamer & dork I am today!

I still listen to Divorced Dad Rock to this day 😆

Idk about y'all, but growing up, I would read as many books as I could for AR points 🤣 I went from animal/fantasy back then to Romance/fantasy now.

I've played some many games in the past. It's hard to pick just one, tho! I guess that explains why I like to play a variety!

Do any of these bring nostalgia for y'all lol #gamer #lore #streamer

2025/2/23 Edited to

Growing up immersed in literature and video games, I developed a unique lore that reflects my diverse interests. My reading journey began with animal and fantasy genres, which gradually shifted to romance and fantasy, capturing the richness of storytelling. Iconic games like The Sims and classic Nickelodeon shows formed part of my nostalgia, melding seamlessly with the rhythm of songs I casually referred to as 'Divorced Dad Rock.' This mixture of literature and multimedia not only influenced my gaming preferences but deepened my connection to fictional universes. Nostalgia is a powerful feeling; games like Animal Crossing and adventure narratives foster our creativity and emotional responses. They evoke memories of simpler times while allowing us to navigate complex emotional landscapes. I encourage you to share your own lore and reminisce about the stories and games that defined your early experiences. Let’s celebrate the journey of storytelling and gaming together! Reach out, connect with fellow enthusiasts and dive back into those cherished memories.

Whether it was watching badass women in TV shows or becoming obsessed with a fictional world growing up, I had a lot of influences for my newest book SIFTING SANDS. 1. The Mummy (1999). I know I'm not the only one that had (has) the fattest crush on the character Ardeth Bay from The Mummy.
