A fuse bead hexagon, with seven layers, and then an innermost bead, with the following colours, from the outside in: pink, light blue, red, green, white, light green, purple, blue.

I am Telaneo and this is my website. I hope you are doing well. I collect video games, among other things. Many of the items in my collection are documented on my Steam account and on my PriceCharting list. I also like to take pictures with my Game Boy Camera.

Two plushies of the same character: Vanilla from Nekopara, a white-haired catgirl wearing a maid outfit.

The same plushies, taken with a Game Boy Camera, shown in very low resolution and only four shades of grey.

I work as a Russian teacher at &Metodius, a Russian language school in Oslo founded by my old Russian teacher, Zoia.
