about

blacktide mostly exists as a way to do something with all my various dumb ideas that would otherwise be forgotten in my notes app. while some of what's shared here is ultimately meant to be played, read, or watched, others are little more than perpetual works-in-progress or attempts at dabbling in some new skill or software that happens to have my attention.

“Sometimes a wild god comes to the table.
He is awkward and does not know the ways
Of porcelain, or fork and mustard and silver.
His voice makes vinegar from wine
And brings the dead to life.”

— Sometimes a Wild God, Tom Hirons

A little sun, a little honey,
As Persephone's bees commanded."
