ABOUT THE WEBMOOGLE

Heya! I'm Ferdie! Also known as Moogleboogles online if you insist on being specific about usernames.

I'm allegedly a human from the Pacific Northwest, often found skittering about the damp forest floor in search of steam achievements and spare d20s someone may have rolled off the table. You know how it is. I'm a digital artist and hobbyist web developer, and I primarily just focus on my own original characters and stories in my own little sandbox. And that's what this site really is! A place for me to play around in and to just... enjoy myself away from the dumpster fire that is today's internet as a whole. Webdev has been lots of fun, I love my silly little guys, and I want to share the joy of my silly little guys to anyone else who stumbles across this silly little website.

Beyond spending my time drawing elves kissing each other and staying up until 5am trying to figure out why the hell my code decided to implode on itself, my primary hobbies are mostly playing Dungeons and Dragons and video gaming! Especially the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV Online. I am so extremely normal about DnD and FFXIV. I really love RPGs, fantasy settings with lots of worldbuilding and things to explore, and anything that reminds me of my home in the Pacific Northwest and the high deserts of central Oregon. And achievement hunting! I really, really love being a completionist in games. I really love making myself suffer. Probably why I'm both a big fisher and raider in FFXIV too.

A lot of my stories and projects end up rather heavy on the worldbuilding and Deep Character Lore, and so my corner of the web will hopefully be the home of all of the lore I've been growing and building and tearing down and writing again for the past decade. If nothing else, maybe having my own place away from the prying and judgmental eyes of social media will make me less embarrassed and more confident in my own works and writing.

Things that do not spark joy

  • Social media. Ignore the fact I still use it it's how I talk to several of my friends
  • Modern fandom and all of its drama and (usually shipping) discourse. You guys all need to touch grass
  • Making my webpages half functional on mobile
  • Bad RNG when I'm trying to catch fish
  • Backloaded savage fights >:(
  • Whatever cosmic forces prevent me from actually doing anything fun or productive (executive dysfunction)
  • People who use devil and demon interchangably/like they're the same thing in regards to DnD. They aren't. Stop it
  • PVP achievements I'm so bad at PVP in any game ever

Interests

Things I've grown to love (or at least enjoy quite a bit) over the years! This is by no means a comprehensive list, as I'm almost always getting into new things and rediscovering old stuff and if I put absolutely everything here it would get pretty ridiculous pretty quickly.
