Winter “Winwin” Mullenix

We shall ascend the ladder of the caffeinated! We shall claim our thrones!

Oh, my babies.

My hair is trying to channel 90’s Skeet Ulrich this morning.

Today’s look says “Miss Frizzle went WHERE with the magic school bus?!”

I need to get my hair dyed and trimmed something fierce. Lol

ERMAGHERD!

Haha! Yes!

The sky could have swallowed me whole in that moment and I’d have welcomed it. Such beauty. A tapestry of light woven and unfurled before my very eyes.

My lizard brain was like “yell at the sky, throw rock!”

All kidding aside, I was in utter awe much of the night. Posting a video.

Remember: when the lights come to take you away, make the ugliest face you can and scare them back into outer space.

The babies are babying extra hard tonight.

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.

Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

“I know you want to shower, mom, but there’s WATER in there. Don’t do it! I won’t tell anyone you’re dirty!”

My bar of soap may end up with minor trauma tonight, but I shall continue to stand proud in the face of social expectations.

As a half latinx trans person myself, this terrifies me. Be safe.

Today I celebrate one full year with CCP Games and nine months living in Reykjavík.

Here’s a toast to the many adventures we’ve had so far, intrepid capsuleers, and the many that lie ahead of us!

It’s easy to see how people came to believe in divine entities, regardless of whether or not you personally believe in them. Nature is just that stunning sometimes.

Over 100 alliances and nearly 500 different corps mobilised for a battle last night in 49-U6U. The fleet alignment when the attackers entered the system was something to behold

Firework shows in Iceland are something else.

Here is hoping that 2026 is a year in which all the hate and vitriol that plagued 2024 and 2025 finally take a back seat to love and true acceptance.

Embrace your loved ones from marginalized communities. And remember, you’re never alone.

I love you all. Happy New Year!

Had a fun time writing this and being part of the recording for @eveonline.com

I do that regularly when we play and she looks at me like “what fresh hell is my ear doing between your lips?” before tackling my face and going full squirrel lol.

Not just side eye, but THE. SIDE. EYE.

Be what you want to see in the world. Myself, I always aim to sow the seeds of kindness.

I love you all.

I wish you all a warm, restful holiday season.

And I hope that 2026 brings you success and happiness.

Be true to yourself and kind to one another because the world needs us more than ever.

Huge hugs, lady. Sorry you’re dealing with that. I’m always just a message away way.

Winter Mullenix (@winwin.bsky.social) is the lead Narrative Designer on EVE Online at @ccpgames.com. At Reykjavík Game Summit 2025, she offered a deep look at how narrative structure can shape the way players think, feel, and respond.

I know it’s a heck of a time in the industry right now. Here if you need to talk. Message me anytime. And, of course, if I catch any leads I will send them your way.

“This is my brother. He smells like beans. WHY DOES HE SMELL LIKE BEANS?”

Had a great time talking at the Reykjavík Game Summit!

Omg. My mirror universe.

Things I do when no one is looking:
- Remind myself to buy socks.
- Forget to buy socks anyway.
- Scream at the infernal space egg.
- Blame it for my lack of nice socks.
- Forget that I blamed the space egg.
- Wonder why my socks have holes.

Had a wonderful time talking at the Reykjavík Game Summit! Thank you, @gamemakersiceland.bsky.social, for having me!
