The face behind the chaos. The brain behind the side quests. The one who definitely meant to post this sooner.
hi, I’m the gremlin behind midnight side quest. When i’m not working, battling fixations, obsessing over my cats, or planning for a dream life.. this is what i’m doing.
so, here’s a little more about me in the language we all know and love: rpg-style
The Chaos Gremlin
Class: Emo Agent of Distraction
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral with softcore intentions
Level: 21 IRL, 99 in vibe points
Backstory
Once just a girl with dreams of a clean room, a Minecraft world that stayed organized, and a calendar that made sense and stayed consistent — she has since evolved into something far more powerful (and unhinged): the Chaos Gremlin.
She roams the digital landscape in pajamas and fuzzy socks, carrying a canvas bag full of snacks, working among half-finished projects, and has lots of big feelings about her passions. Her companions — Shadow (the dramatic one), Faith (the emotionally supportive bean), and Jax (the sleepy rage tank) — follow her from side quest to side quest, judging her decisions but never leaving her side.
While the world seeks meaning, order, and purpose… she seeks:
- The perfect pastel hex code
- A new hyperfixation
- And possibly… a dog?
