Welcome
I'm Sianya Dawnmist
This is the behind-the-scenes space.
Not the polished output.
Not the finished thought.
More the part where things are still warm from being made.
🌸 MochiMischief
MochiMischief is where I put the pieces that don’t quite belong anywhere else - journaling fragments, platform notes, creative process, small resets, and quiet pivots. It’s the connective tissue between games, films, books, music, study, and whatever I’m currently circling around.
Some of this is playful.
Some of it is reflective.
Most of it is unfinished, and that’s intentional.
You’ll find notes written mid-thought, reflections on making things sustainably, gentle BTS from streaming and studying, and moments where I stop to recalibrate rather than push through. This isn’t a space for conclusions or content made to keep up. It’s for thinking out loud.
If the rest of the site is about media as companionship, this is where I talk about how that companionship gets made - and why I’m choosing to do it this way.
Wander if you like.
Nothing here needs to resolve neatly.
