About Aese

Hello! I'm Aese of Spades! My gender is an amorphous blob of transmasculine queerness, and I use they/them pronouns exclusively. Sexual and romantic orientations are most easily described as panromantic asexual, but those are... well, wobbly. I tend to not worry about it too much anymore!

I'm in my late 20s! My big three astrological signs are Libra (sun), Capricorn (moon), and Scorpio (rising). My friend who is big into astrology says "that explains a lot." I don't really know much about astrology, but she said it with a wise nod and big eyes, so. Y'know, whatever that means.

I've been a practicing witch for over a decade. I started with energy work, spirit work (mostly dealing with ghosts and hauntings), and tarot when I was a teenager. As I've gotten older and deepened my practice, I've come to focus more on practical spellwork, kitchen witchery, wider forms of divination (though tarot is still my favorite!), and a bigger variety of spirit work.

I'm also an author! I have a DnD-inspired fantasy trilogy of novels in the works, which you can read about over here. My main genre for writing fiction is fantasy, but I've been known to dabble in horror, sci-fi, and romance, too. I'm also publishing self-indulgent (and very explicit) fanfic of those unpublished novels, which you can read right here on the site using that same link.

I have a passion for TTRPGs! As a Forever DM by choice, I love to build worlds and write adventures for my friends to play in. DnD was my first system, of course, and I've played every edition that's existed. Don't ask me about any of the rules for any edition, I do not remember. 5th Edition is very good in my opinion, and I genuinely think it's my favorite.

My current preferred TTRPG system is Call of Cthulhu! I'm running a campaign called House Rules for a handful of friends via Discord. Check out my TTRPGs page for details about that. WARNING FOR MY PLAYERS: There might be spoilers over there! Proceed with caution!!

Random fun facts about me:

  • My favorite colors are purple and yellow (obviously, lol)
  • My favorite jacket is the one from Dan Howell's We're All Doomed World Tour, and I'm not ashamed of it
  • More favorites: giraffes, moths, mourning doves, sharks, jellyfish, sandy beaches, sunsets, lilacs, my partner, space, stars
  • My partner and I fell in love over our mutual obsession with the rhythm bullet hell game, Just Shapes and Beats
  • I'm a middle child
  • I collect hats, scarves, tea sets, and novelty mugs
  • My go-to DnD class is Bard
  • My go-to DnD creature is half-elf, because my parents used to LARP -- My dad's character is an elf, my mom's is human; thus, half-elf!
  • I named myself after a DnD character, who is also the main character of The Coming Storm; his name came from an elf-ified version of a name I was testing out for myself and ended up not using. So, he's named for me, I'm named for him. Ouroboros or whatever.
