THE WEBSITE
hello and welcome to HIEMAL, the humble domain of a tired artist with too much free time and a love for the snow.
here you will find a majority of my creative endeavors and fandom participation. you will also find my digital altar and book of shadows, as well as discussions of and reflections on my spiritual beliefs.
this site exists for the usual reasons: the corporatization & centralization of the internet sucks, social media sucks, and the inherent sanitization that comes with all of it super mega sucks. i wanted a place that was mine, unbeholden to the typical engagement-driven charade, and so i made a place. while this site exists for me and me alone, i hope you enjoy it, too.
THE WEBMASTER
my name is RUBICON, and i'm a 21-year-old enby (they/them) from the united states. i'm a budding meteorologist, an eclectic witch, and the #1 sonic the hedgehog fan.
i'm also in a loving relationship of 8 months! (if my partner's reading this, hi hon!! you're so cool!! i love you!!)
