2025 News & Updates

✦ 1 December 2025

For the first time in years, I made no updates to my website in a month. If you want to see what I did in November, check out my Dreamwidth.

✦ 1 November 2025

Am I updating my website 10 days late? Yep!

October wasn't a very busy month. All I did was create two new pieces of pixel art.

✦ 1 October 2025

I wrote reviews for How Nonviolence Protects the State by Peter Gelderloos and The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin, updated my Brief Musings page with some thoughts on violence, updated the Links Out page with a section for Anarchism, and added recommendations for July to September.

In the interest of having fewer indiviudal pages on this website, I've also updated a couple of reviews. The Tears of the Kingdom reviews are now on one single page, as are the reviews for the Star Wars Jedi and Dragon Age series.

✦ 1 September 2025

The Links Out page has been updated with new sections: Artists whose art I like, Gardening, Interesting Youtube Videos, Wildlife & Trail Cams, and Youtube Channels.

✦ 1 August 2025

Not much to say about July. I finished two pixel art pieces.

✦ 1 July 2025

In June, I finished watching Andor Season 2 and wrote up my thoughts on episodes 7-12. I also wrote reviews for Babel-17 by Samuel R. Delany and We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. Lastly, my recommendations for April to June have been added.

✦ 1 June 2025

I added a new page: Book Thoughts, which will house my book reviews. The first review is of Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams, and the second is The Struggle Against the State and Other Essays by Nestor Makhno. I wrote two other reviews this month: one for episodes 4-6 of Andor, and one for Horizon Forbidden West.

✦ 1 May 2025

I did quite a lot of things in April, but very little of it got archived here. I drew some pixel art for the first time in a few months; they can be seen on the Pixel Art page. I also wrote up my thoughts on the first three episodes of Andor Season 2, which has its own page under the Reviews section of the Creative Work page.

✦ 1 April 2025

In March, I watched two movies (Solo: A Star Wars Story and Ringu) and wrote reviews for them on the Movie Thoughts page. I also added a link to a post I found on the smallweb community on Dreamwidth ("RSS feeds, feed readers, etc.") to the Links Out page. Lastly, I've added recommendations for January to March 2025.

✦ 1 March 2025

February was a pretty busy month, but I don't have much public work to show for it. I watched three movies (American Psycho and Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2) and wrote up my thoughts on the Movie Thoughts page. I also updated the Links Out page to have individual sections.

✦ 1 February 2025

In January, I added a section to the About page, detailing what kind of data I collect on visitors and what I do with it (spoiler: I don't have access to anything, really). I added a review of Sailor Moon Cosmos to the Movie Thoughts page, and updated the Art Log. Lastly, the Links Out page has been updated to include the new home of Fantasy Magazine - it's been picked up by Psychopomp.

✦ 1 January 2025

December was a pretty busy month! I wrote a full review for Dragon Age: The Veilguard and a shorter one for Alan Wake II's Lake House DLC. Some new and old art has been added to the Art Log, and I've created a new page containing my Sailor Moon fanart through the years.

Recommendations for October to December have been added! It's not just short stories this time; there are manga and a video game as well.

2024 News & Updates

✦ 2024-12-01

I started writing a novel this month, and although I didn't get that far, it did prevent me from having much work available to post online. I did get a First Impressions review done for Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

✦ 2024-11-01

I did a lot of outlining in October, but I also managed to write reviews for the Dragon Age series.

✦ 2024-10-01

I continued working on worldbuilding in September, and as a result, still don't have much public work to show. Reading recommendations for July-September have been added; there are 5 short stories to check out.

✦ 2024-09-01

Most of my attention this month has gone to worldbuilding for a novel, so I don't have all that much public work to show. I did manage to write two Short Musings nonfiction pieces.

✦ 2024-08-01

I did some of writing this month: one review for Max Payne, and two Short Musings nonfiction pieces. I also finished up an acrylic painting for the first time since 2022.

✦ 2024-07-01

I wrote two reviews in June: one for the Night Springs DLC for Alan Wake 2, and a small one for the 1997 film Cube. I also drew one piece of pixel art.

I decided to work a bit on accessibility and navigation this month. The Veitlen & Nymue comic now has a transcript for each page. The Creative Work and Recommendations pages now have a header with links that allow you to go directly to each section. And most importantly, alt text has been added to all images that didn't have them before.

Lastly, my reading recommendations for April-June 2024 have been added. There are 10 new short stories to check out.

✦ 2024-06-01

I finally upgraded the site and bought a domain name. Welcome to selenicseas.space!

In an attempt to clean prevent too many pages from being added to this website, I've created two new pages: Short Musings and Thoughts on Writing. Both are essentially blogs - Short Musings for my shorter nonfiction pieces, and Thoughts on Writing for my thoughts on writing.

I've removed the Art, Nonfiction, and Reviews pages and added their content to the Creative Work page. The Nonfiction section has been updated with brief summaries of each page. I've also updated the Writing Crisis page so that each separate blog post is its own section. I think it's easier to read that way.

I finished playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor in May (after a couple of months of procrastination) and wrote a review for it. It's not nearly as long as my review for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but it goes into everything I think is important.

After some deliberating, I've uploaded my 2018 short comic, Veitlen & Nymue. As a result, there is now a "Comics" section on the Creative Work page.

Lastly, the Links Out page has been updated with a link to Kiriska's guide How to Build a Personal Website under the "Tech" section.

✦ 2024-05-01

April wasn't too outwardly productive of a month, but that's because I spent most of it working on my current story project. I did manage to complete two pieces of pixel art. I've also updated the About page to include descriptions of how I use Dreamdwith, Mastodon, and Pillowfort.

✦ 2024-04-01

March was quite a busy month. I left Wordpress and decided to archive my Writing Crisis posts here. The About page has been updated to include a link to Dreamwidth, and I've made some tweaks to it so that it's more easily readible on mobile devices.

I've added a Links Out page to the top header, which is a combination of the "links out" page I previously had linked on the nonfiction page and the page that listed the SFF magazines I read. I drew two pieces of pixel art and added links so you can jump to a certain year instead of scrolling through the page. Recommendations for January to March have also been added.

✦ 2024-03-01

It was a longer than usual February, but still a short month. I drew four pieces of pixel art and adjusted the main art page so that the latest four pieces of art in each category are now shown as thumbnails.

✦ 2024-02-01

This has been a pretty busy month! I fixed a bunch of incorrect links on the individual conlang pages and added a return link to the 404 Not Found page. I also added a Creative Work page which has links to the art, conlangs, nonfiction, and reviews pages. I just wasn't a fan of how many links were in the header, especially since I want to add sections for fiction and (potentially) comics.

It's also been a good month for art! I did four pieces of pixel art and finally added a page for my acrylic paintings.

✦ 2024-01-01

It's a new year! I've drawn another piece of pixel art and added an art log, for my artwork that doesn't belong in another other category. I've also added an archive for the news & updates so that it doesn't clog up this page. Lastly, my recommendations for October to December 2023 have been added to the Recommendations page.
