Vixen. Genie. Vixdjinn!

Hi! I'm Phorm, and I'm a Vixdjinn!

A Friendly Vixdjinn Says Hello!

I'm a genie girl, who really likes being a genie, and really likes everything about genies (really)! I'm a bit confused, lost, and trying to find my way, but I always enjoy interacting with folks here. (Trans🏳️‍⚧️, occasionally NSFW, Be 18+ or please be gone.)

A list of CoHost things I wish I had gotten around to:


  • Put in the work to finish the "secret" project that I was working on. I had really stopped answering lore questions specifically because they were going to feed into this, and so I stalled things out on a fun activity in two ways. Ultimately I didn't follow through out of fear, and now it's just not going to be possible. I think CoHost was the only place where anyone might've actually cared about it, and I'm not sure it would translate to another platform.
  • Granted more wishes. I really ought to have found a way to bring back "Twisted Wish Thursday", because it would have really worked well on this platform. Basically just taking wishes from people and having a great time giving them exactly what they don't want (which, when they're in on it, is fun for everyone!) Even though I can't really put in that kind of effort mid-day anymore, I might've found a way to make it work. I dunno.
  • Done more social stuff with people here. Particularly social VR in some capacity. My own hangups were the impediment here, I confess. But I was on the verge of a workaround with a stand-alone VR machine. But regardless, it feels like the folks around here are *awesome* and cool, and in VR finding awesome and cool people to hang with was always 90% of the struggle.
  • Held the First Annual CoHost Community Cup. What a pipedream this was/is - but I still wish I'd tried. A part of me really wanted to foster an offshoot of people interested in Windjammers 2 here on CoHost, and then broadcast a tournament for even non-players to enjoy. The game is just full of awesome moments that make for a great spectator event. I've been in convention hotel rooms where everyone's hooting and hollering over casual games, just watching. It would've been fun to bring that here. Alas, this would've been a serious investment of time and effort, likely involving running a Discord server, and streaming. Things kind of beyond me.
  • Streaming. Yeah, I kind of wish I had tried streaming at least a few times, too. It would've been pretty likely to fail, but CoHost is a platform where people might've, possibly, actually cared to watch. Even if just a little. With it gone, zero chance.
  • Figured out my "villain/monster stuff". It's a weird topic for me, but this is a special platform where I feel like it might've been possible to sort it out. The idea of taking solidarity from the exile imposed on you is a strong one, and I've always wanted at least a silver of that for myself (admittedly selfishly). Now it just feels like anything I try to do there will just be howling into the void. (As much as I wish I had worked through this stuff, maybe it's good that I'll be in a position where it just... fades. I don't know.)
  • Been better to you all. You're lovely. And I've just so loved what you've shared. Thank you.

in reply to @PhormTheGenie's post:

a regrettable fact of Monster Life is getting used to roving the wilderness between waves of civilization. it's why I talk so much about looking out for one another - we are somewhat less likely to attract belligerent attention, these days, and more likely to die of loneliness and neglect. I look forward to seeing you out there, persisting if not thriving, just as I look forward to the next place where we can both come indoors 💜

I mean ... I guess you're right about that. But this time around it felt like I was kinda, sorta, maybe an inch close to finding something. Maybe being the kind of misfit worthy of hanging around with other monsters and villains. Now I feel like I'm being turned into the darkness, where that loneliness and regret are liable to overwhelm me. Such is life, I suppose. Maybe I was never meant to find a place.

I've very much enjoyed interacting with you here, for all the shit I've given you. I apologize for that garbage I've put you through, by the by. And I'll miss your comments and posts. Thanks for sticking it out.

I hope you find a place to thrive.

You've always been worthy. I liked that you started to believe it a little bit.

But the overall thing I'm trying to say is, "You're not alone, you don't have to be alone until the next thing happens, I'm right here waiting and eager to keep you company, regardless of what your intuition tells you." You know exactly how to reach out to me, and I always wish you would.

You flatter me tremendously, friend. 🩷 Thank you so. I've thoroughly and completely enjoyed interacting with you here, and your presence has made this a wonderful place.

Thank you for your kindness. I'm sorry I didn't get around to these ideas in earnest!

Thank you so, Friend. That means a whole lot to me 🩷 I wish I had been running it at a time when you could participate! Hopefully the future will be kind in this regard...

And thank you for following me wherever I might go. I know we're already connected on other platforms, but golly, this one was special. And I sure don't want to lose touch!! I'll be following you wherever I can, too, for sure.

I admit that the future still feels really hazy, in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable. But I know I want to keep up with your work, beyond any shadow of a doubt. Your characters, your setting, and your writing continue to excel. And your artwork is a welcome delight.

Thank you much for your kindness <3 Honestly and seriously, it's motivating, as well as flattering. One thing I'll say is that I do intend to continue, and I hope to make it worth keeping up with. Thank you again.
