Pit's massive gaping rut

Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, July 17, 2016



I've come to the realization today that stagnancy KILLS me. Not literally, but it sucks the energy right out of my being. Never do I feel SO mortal as when there aren't any immediate prospects on the horizon. This isn't any surprise, that's what happens to ...

Mentors

Banes at 12:00AM, May 12, 2016



I like mentor characters.
