About ME

NAME: Summer
AGE: 21
ANY PRONOUNS!
Scorpio ☼, Gemini ☾, Scorpio ↑, INFJHI! my name's Summer! I identify as nonbinary and I use any pronouns with no preference! I'm a creator based in Minnesota currently working full-time as a barista and part-time as what I want to do full-time.I'm an independent artist, musician, animator, and writer, with a passionate love for life and the blossoming bloom of story. My life's been endlessly unpredictable but the one consistency I've been able to maintain trust in is knowing my purpose in life is to create. I'm extremely passionate about storytelling in its every endless form, as well as community, and I strive to create things that mean something to people, big or small, that remind you why you're here, to give you the experience of being alive, and to bring purpose in our collective happiness here together... In other words, I like making things that people enjoy seeing.I make music under the name bumr, and I make videos, art, and stories under the name summer bloom!I'm constantly cooking up little projects in my cave -- currently my focus is on my Gravity Falls fan project i, the gold! I'm usually brewing these things independently, but I'm always open to creative collaborations and opportunities!I'm most recognized for my fan content, though my hope has always been to reconstruct the stigma that surrounds being a fandom creator — Not only is it a celebration of creation, but fan content is the definition of community, unadulterated passion not driven by anything but an incredibly delicate, whimsically beautiful human desire to share joy -- the meaningfulness of which seems to be getting lost, though I try hard to embrace it, and to inspire others to see it. I live to be apart of these communities and to be amongst the audience of fellow storytellers.

SOME OF MY INTERESTS INCLUDE...Gravity Falls!! jerma985, Legend of Zelda, Nintendo, indie animation / games, & any type of small-teamed creations, creepypasta & internet horror, flash games & old computer games, LPS, MMOgs, websites, science fantasy, space, weird things, & dinosaursAnd no, you’re not safe anywhere near me if you’re a proshipper lmfao

THINGS I'VE WORKED ON

The Evan Survival AU (2022 - 2023)

The Evan Survival AU (ESAU) is an unfinished Five Nights at Freddy's fan comic I ran from May 18, 2022 to August 3, 2023, following the story of an alternate universe where the crying child survived the bite of '87.Initially an independent project, I reached out to Twitter for artists after episode 3 looking for interested artists who would like to help with the comic, and I accrued over 20 extremely talented artists who I was lucky enough to work alongside. An amazing experience all around, even if it was short-lived!Twitter | Instagram | Carrd

The Freddy Files (2022)

The Freddy Files was a Five Nights at Freddy's analog horror ran by Sargent Studios alongside a wonderful group of artists and voice actors that I was lucky enough to be apart of!I did a large majority of the art for the last five uploads, as well as the animation for YouCant.mp4YouTube

The BLOOMIVERSE ꩜

The BLOOMIVERSE is a universe where my own original stories exist!

THE BARISTAS

SNITZY

PATREON

THE BARISTAS

THE BARISTAS follows the story of newly hired barista Anchor, his weird coworkers, their odd abilities, and the mysteries of their store, Café Déjà.

(Born November 2021) This story was initially intended to be a webcomic, though is now planned to become an animated series on YouTube in 2025-2026!

Read the original (now deleted) webcomic chapter here!

SNITZY

SNITZY tells the tale of an alien named Snitzy and his friends who call him Snitzy. A fun loving, silly slice-of-life, with truths orbiting a land of over-saturated quirkiness that may or may not fall out of the sky and hit you like a meteor.

(Born May 2021) Similar to The Baristas, this story was meant to be a webcomic, but will likely take life as an animated series on YouTube or a physical comic!
