In which I rant about my life to random people on the internet.

Hello again, Fediverse friends! I have some more life updates to share.
I've recently upgraded from my Moto G7+ to the Motorola One 5G Ace, which has a much improved 48 megapixel camera system (48MP wide, 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macro, and a 16MP selfie cam). I'm excited to get out and take more pictures, although I've run into a problem trying to unlock the bootloader so I can install LineageOS on it. Hopefully, I'll be able to resolve the issue soon.
On a related note, it seems that some of my pictures have disappeared from PixelFed. I'm not sure if this is just a server glitch or if there has been actual data loss. Either way, it's frustrating because I no longer have access to those photos. If it is a fixable issue, I hope it gets resolved soon. If not, it's a good reminder to always keep things backed up when possible.
In other news, I recently had a small crisis of faith that has since been resolved. I still identify as a Christopagan, but I'm struggling to separate the atrocities of the church from my spirituality. I'm sure it will all work out in due time.
Thought I'd give a small life update, not much has happened since the last one.
I've started drinking soylent as replacement for 2 of my meals, and I feel fucking amazing, more energy, better focus, less stomach issues, win win win.
I'm thinking of starting a band as well, like maybe filk, or folk horror or something, idk, I feel kinda buzzed, tho I guess that's because my body is finally taking energy from food instead of storing it as fat that never gets burned.
May also be giving a small talk on southern folk magic, so that should yield interesting results, maybe.
That's all for now, if any washingtonians in centralia happen to read this and it peeks your fancy, shoot me a message!
Bit of a small life update, I know I don't post often, tho I've began to post more stuff over on mastodon.
I'm still in Washington, tho I may be moving to another part in January, still gonna be in Centralia tho.
I've recently found a small interfaith get together and I've been going for a few months, it's nice to be able to talk to people about my faith and other faiths and not get screamed at or called a blasphemer, I'm currently going with christopagan, it just feels right.
I'd like to post on here more, but I also try not to think of social media too much, so it doesn't usually cross my mind to update or post here.
I've also started seeing a therapist and finally got medicine for my depression and sleep issues, so that's great.
In one week I leave the place and people I have come to call home.
In one week I leave the people who hurt me, who broke me.
In one week I venture into a new place, a new place I hope to call home.
In one week I venture Into The Unknown.

My name is Markus Alexander Gaines, mainly known as Markus to friends and family. I am an avid reader, as well as an aspiring writer. I've been delving into the folk horror and southern gothic genres. I've got a few WIPs, but nothing too serious. I mainly work on Fanfiction as of late, some of the fandoms I've written for include: Prodigal Son, The Originals, Constantine, CAOS, and Sandman. I generally write hurt/comfort, angst, or kink related things.
I'll go ahead and post my social media stuffs here:
