The Creator

I’m Onyxicca, creator of Emberosis.

I design tools, products, and writing for gamers, spoonies, and anyone whose body is set on hard mode. My work is shaped by my own experience with multiple chronic conditions, along with gaming, ritual, and the practical need for things that make difficult days feel more livable.

The writing side of this world lives at Between Battles, where I publish essays and the monthly Embers Between Battles newsletter.

Emberosis is an independent project with real upkeep behind it: the shop, product selection, design work, blog, newsletter, tools, and future releases all take time, care, and monthly costs to sustain. Every purchase, membership and share helps keep the work available and gives it room to keep growing.

The Manifesto

Before matches, before lighters, people kept embers. At night, they could not simply let it burn. A fire left open would spend itself too quickly. It might blaze for a while, then leave nothing useful by morning. So they changed how the fire was kept. They lowered the flame. They gathered the embers, covered them in ash, and kept enough heat alive for morning. This was called banking a fire. It did not end the night. It did not remove the cold. It did not make the fire larger than it was. It kept the fire from becoming ash. That is the banked fire at the center of Emberosis... (Continue reading)

Between Battles

I write at BetweenBattles.com about life with multiple chronic illnesses, chronic pain, fatigue, body limits, rest, self-care, games, dreams, and the hard-earned lessons that come from living in a body that keeps changing the rules. I also send Embers Between Battles, a free monthly newsletter for people whose bodies or nervous systems have been on high alert too long.

When you join, you get 30 free grounding cards right away: simple phone-sized cards for nervous system regulation in a sit-at-a-bonfire vibe.

Read the blog, join the newsletter, or support the work through Emberosis membership.

WHY SUPPORT MATTERS

Emberosis is built by one person, slowly and deliberately. Support helps fund the tools, designs, writing, experiments, and member features that keep this project alive. Every purchase, gift, membership, or affiliate click gives me more room to keep building without turning the work into another source of burnout.
