About Me

I am currently a student majoring in film at Georgia Gwinnett College, my concentration is design and production with minors in creative writing and integrative arts. I am anticipating that I will graduate in May 2025. I’ve taken classes such as Intro to Film, Creative Writing, Video Production, and Worldbuilding which have allowed me a look into the creative process of writing and filmmaking. I currently am focusing on building my video editing and graphic design skills outside of the classroom. I am also learning how to develop video games with the intent of creating my own. 

Since I was young I’ve had an interest in the horror genre and creating my own stories. This led me to have a passion for filmmaking as well as creative writing. I aspire to be a film director, published novelist, and game developer. I enjoy watching horror films, playing video games, reading manga, fantasy, queer, and horror novels. When I was a teenager, I saw the behind-the-scenes footage and a look into the making of one of my all-time films “The Lord of the Rings”. This was and continues to be one of my biggest motivators for becoming a filmmaker as well as a writer. Another film that had a significant influence on me was "Fangirl". The film shows a high school student who aspires to make films and seeing someone my own age being able to work towards those goals gave me motivation to pursue a film career. Seeing someone’s ideas and fictional world come to life is an amazing thing to see.

Creativity is a big part of my life and a motivating factor in what I do. I thrive in places that allow me to express and share my creativity as well as grow it. I find that working with others allows me to come up with new ideas as well as help others to have new ideas for current and future projects.

WickedHorizonDesigns

Hello everyone!

We are at present a small team are aiming to make an AJRPG game. The style we are going for is a combination of cel-shading and stylized visuals, and are inspired by Bloodborne, Metroid, and Kingdom Hearts. We use programs such as 3DS Max, Blender, Sub Painter, and Zbrush for our workflow and use UE5 for production. Some of our tests and renders are on [Insert INDIE DB page here: https://www.indiedb.com/members/wickedhorizon and our Blogspot page here: https://wickedhorizondesigns.blogspot.com/

We currently have positions open for Unreal Engine, Blueprint, C++, Source Control, we have lots of content, etc. VFX Character, asset, environment, lighting, animation, rigging texturing workflow. Concept Art T Pose to scale character artists, alien style biological creatures, mechs, vehicles. Audio & SFX creation and application. Video montage, editing & post production skill sets. We would like to find individuals who are experienced with blueprinting and knows how to make their own system with blueprints when necessary in UE5 as well as combining systems we already have. A solid understanding of animations, stress testing when rigging meshes and curves, how to work with textures and materials within Unreal Engine would be very useful. Having more people would help us efficiently progress on the development of the game project. anyone who qualifies will receive a contract with an N.D.A included for the game project. It is a serious project so please only serious individuals respond. Thank you.

The clock strikes midnight and here I sit

Wondering if you’ll say hello or if you’ve already left without a goodbye

The Weight of Sorrow

The seal on my lips is broken My mouth is filled with the taste of blood It feels as though there was a dam behind my eyes A flood erupts and tears stream down my face These cracks and creaks within my body As my bones begin to break I can no longer hold the weight of my own sorrow No longer human but the shell of what was It feels as though I have been left for dead Every ache and every pain I can feel within myself Mountains of grief have formed within my heart I go days without speaking a word I wish I could enfold in myself Take these shards of my ego and plunge them into the abdomen Make myself feel something, anything at all other than what is They say it is better to feel pain and misery Then to not feel at all but what if that's all you feel Day in and day out you are left to suffer on your own The consequences of love are your own to bare "You did this to yourself, You chose to love someone you knew you couldn't have" Is all they say to me when I cry out in pain When I ask those I knew best for help "How can we help what has destroyed itself, What has pushed all else away in its true time of need" I did not ask for this though that's what they think I did not give myself away only to be left with an empty shell Time will not give back what has been taken from me Nor will it heal the wounds I dare not show for fear of what they'll say I am but left to die on my own To make one last decision Do I stay? 11/03/22

Our story didn’t end how I thought it would. I didn't even think it was going to end but it did. And if I'm being honest I'm relieved.

Letting Himself Love

He stands alone at the edge of the cliff Looking out over the dark waters There's a sickening feeling in his stomach And his hearts aches He has loved in a less than romantic way And he has lost more than just friends We experience love and we experience loss He has learned to move slow To take his time with the one he wants They hurt him in a way he didn't expect People change and their needs do too This went by in a flurry like a gush of wind He has someone new And he wants it to last So he'll take it one step at a time One day, one moment, one word Because how can you truly love someone you don't know And oh, does he want to know him But not just know him, he wants to show himself The parts not everyone gets to see Because what becomes soft must first go through tough times To love is to risk loss But isn't love worth it in the end So one step, one day, one moment at a time He'll treasure each of them 19/03/22

Belly of the Beast

"Climb into my belly, it will keep you warm and safe," said the Beast.

The meek voice hesitated, "I don't know that I should."

"It's safe, I promise," replied the Beast.

The meek voice slowly climbed into the Beast's belly, cautious not to step on his sharp teeth. It was warm and comforting at first. That is until the meek voice realized the Beast had in fact lied.

The Beast grinned as he slowly digested the meek voice.

"At last, something to fill my belly even if only for a time," stated the Beast.

I tried so hard to do what I thought was the right thing. I tried so hard to love someone I knew couldn't love me back. The signs were right in from of me and I ignored every single one of them. I thought I fell in love with the hero, but really I fell in love with the villain. You put on this front because you want everyone to think you are better than you really are. But I can finally see past that. I can see the real you. The you that is actually the villain of this story.

Falling

She fell in love with someone she couldn't have

They fell in love with someone they shouldn't have

Two people who fell in love with the wrong people

Two people who fell in love with each other

Maybe it is a good thing they never knew

What they missed out on

It would have ended in disaster

And as beautiful as it would have been

It would have ended in pain and misery

Drenched in sorrow and beauty

What a beautiful thing it is to fall in love

But what an awful thing it is to fall out of it

She was always afraid of heights

Afraid of falling

But when it came to them

That didn't matter

They loved heights

But when it came to her

They were scared of what awaited them

At the end of their fall

It's hard to let yourself fall

When you don't know

What awaits you at the bottom

"Would you go back and change things now that you know how they end?"

"You mean, would I go back and save you. No, I wouldn't. Because now that you're gone, I'm finally free."

if you haven't already tortured your characters enough

right person wrong time

death trope with a last kiss

two characters having to say goodbye to each other, but finally admitting they're in love

i love you so much but you're getting married and i'm happy for you but as soon as you leave i start crying

i don't realize how much i truly love you until you've already moved on with someone else

i promised i'd come back for you but when i do i see you out in town with someone else and you look happy and i don't want to ruin that so i leave again without telling you i'm back in town

you finally proposed and i said yes but a couple hours later i get a job offer and now i have to choose between getting married or moving to another town because you can't come with me

we're lovers turned enemies who still love each other but after everything that's happened we can't trust each other so one ends up killing the other

you introduced me to your family and your siblings are lovely but your parents don't like me

i'm head over heels in love with you but i help you set up a date with the girl of your dreams

i agree to be your plus one for a wedding thinking it's an unofficial date but then you bump into your ex and practically spend the entire night with them

you get me a dog which i've always wanted but then we find out you're allergic

you're not here with me anymore but i find myself touching the matching tattoos we got when i'm in need of comfort

i thought i was over our break up because nowadays i look back at memories of our relationship and smile but one day i find my old wedding ring and now i'm crying

i spent three hours cooking food for you, and you're polite enough to pretend you like it but i'm a horrible chef and i can tell by your face that you're lying

it's our first christmas together but we can't spend it with each other because our families live far apart

it's christmas and you wanted to kiss under the mistletoe but there's no mistletoe

we're out shopping for wedding cakes but we get into an argument because you want cheesecake and i want a traditional cake

i've stolen a sweater from you and it's my favorite thing to wear but now i've lost it and i can't find it anywhere

i accidentally dropped my wedding ring in the toilet and it's pretty much the worst thing that could have happened so who's gonna take one for the team and get it out of there

That feeling when you have a dream that leads you to a novel/series idea. I will now be spending the next few years creating a novel series.

no but honestly im so sick of how much mainstream "gay culture" revolves around being conventionally attractive and conforming to eurocentric beauty standards. skinny jeans, vintage/grunge fashion for wlw, crop tops and femme clothing/presentation, its all only considered "correctly done" when its a skinny (usually white) able-bodied person doing it. you rarely see fat gnc people in mainstream media, especially if they're also POC, and if you're disabled and queer? you don't even exist. most of the lesbian-style clothing (which i love) doesnt come in my size, and when i finally find some that does, i get told that it "doesnt fit my body type" or i "dress like a slob." because apparently dressing like a lumberjack is only fashionable or trendy when you're a size 0. all those oversized hoodies and loose-fitting mom jeans or boy shorts you see as the "staple look" for trans/queer people? suddenly the appeal dissipates when its a fat person doing it. so many of us feel excluded from queer culture because of our bodies. the queer community should be the most inclusive and accepting place, but it isn't and im tired of it. we need to stop being agents of racism, ableism and fatphobia. we're hurting ourselves by purporting this culture of "acceptably, palatably queer" as the mainstream. we can't ever be truly accepted or liberated if we're oppressing other marginalized people and suppressing ourselves.
