So what about the gardener of this place, anyway?

Hello! My name is Amanita. I am an artist! Professionally an illustrator (because I studied illustration and design at college), I am also a writer sometimes, and I began dabbling in coding just so I could make this site. This website will mostly be dedicated to my OCs and personal stories, acting as a database for my art and such, but I also wanted to make it a space for me to express love for the things I like! And, anyways, what I like is horror, gore, weird bizarre shit, mycology, mythology, theology, botany, Horror RPG Maker Games, Indie (Weird) Games in general, comics, shoujosei manga, sapphic media, haunted things, and a bunch of other stuff! Like the punk subculture. Jack of all trades and all of that.

I'm not looking to hide overall, "Cryptic Amanita" is a name I use nearly everywhere basically, but I'm not really that scared about being seen as aceptable or not to other people or the overall world! I'm weird, bizarre, so are my characters and stories, and I'm not looking to hide that fact.
