edit data

I’m HG Birde, a queer writer of dark fantasy and erotic horror (but you can call me Mercury). I have a Bachelor’s in Game Development from St. Edward’s University and spent those four years holding up math-adverse artists with the strength of my slightly above-average programming knowledge. Nowadays, I dabble in freelance writing & editing and have worked on multiple indie titles in the industry.

H.G.’s Quotes

“I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.”
― Jon Katz

“Fat babies! Don't they sound delicious? But I've never eaten any, because my conscience tells me it is wrong. If I had no conscience I would probably eat the babies and then get hungry again, which would mean that I had sacrificed the poor babies for nothing. No; hungry I was born, and hungry I shall die. But I'll not have any cruel deeds on my conscience to be sorry for.”
― L. Frank Baum, Ozma of Oz
