From the Candlemancer's Stash: Haunted Console // DMG
About: Handcrafted with love. Sculpted in Nomad Sculpt, printed, sanded, prepped, and turned into candle molds. Each one is hand-poured individually by me. This is a sculpture as much as it is a candle, a little piece of myself and my haunting, just for you. Soy blended wax with a light fragrance. VERY limited quantity, starting with only 15 small and 5 large to test the waters.
Words: For most of my adult life, I’ve been unable to get the concept of haunted consoles out of my head. Nostalgia clung to faded plastic like a ghost, telling bittersweet stories about the past. For so long I’ve drawn them, crafted them, documented them in whichever medium speaks to me - but the ghosts’ tales only grow larger with each passing year. And I find myself asking them more questions and getting no answers.
Is nostalgia happy? Is it sad? Is it telling the truth or is it merely tying physical objects to memories and moments? Are we intertwining and fusing two distinct parts of our brains, creating connections unique to each of us? How else could something mean everything to one person, and nothing at all to the next. And when those connections fire, what am I feeling? Is it fondness of the past? Connection to a former self? Appreciation for the present? Was the game really as good as I remember? Or is it how I felt playing it that I’m remembering? Maybe it’s any and maybe it’s all of these.
The ghosts stretch out over time, elongated like matter pulled through the event horizon. Wormholes with vacant eyes - By simply picking up these haunted consoles, like time travelers, instantly snap back to places we’ve been, feelings we’ve had, people who surrounded us, and the imagination we once had fills in the gaps of everything that’s gone missing in the peripheral since.
Thank you for being here, you are appreciated.
