Since I was ~12, I've been making up stories about an exiled elven princess named Mariel. You can read about her and the paracosm where she lives.

I like to take pictures of dolls, Shinto shrines, and flowers.

about

Back in ~2010, I had a mini-site called current obsession that was a bunch of links and recommendations to whatever I was into at the time. (You can see a screencap of that layout in my layouts gallery on pine island projects.)

This is like that but for 2024.

The subtitle, "go with the flow," was inspired by my water Pokémon-themed background (by arisadraws, found on CyberneticDryad's Pokémon shrine) and my feelings of a ~flow state when I indulge in my hyperfixations.

This page is part of pine island projects.
