I'm Justin Anderson (J. Vaelorin), a network engineer by day and founder of VaelorinVerse, a dark fantasy universe where mental health functions as the magic system. I built it to process almost twenty years of unspoken grief, the kind men get taught to swallow.
What surprised me: licensed clinicians reached out to say the work maps closely to narrative therapy and IFS, frameworks I'd never studied. One therapist endorsed the tools on her own show. And it reaches an audience most mental health content can't, 64% male overall, and my longest, heaviest piece hit 84% men with a 23% like rate. The deeper the work goes, the more it reaches the group hardest to reach in mental health.
Topics I can speak to:
🧵 Processing grief as a man when you were taught to stay silent
🧵 How folklore reaches people clinical language can't
🧵 Building a creative project while working full-time
🧵 Mental health as architecture, not backstory
🧵 Serving first responders, caregivers, and veterans
I've been a guest on 8+ shows across mental health, grief, first responder, and author podcasts, with five-star host reviews.
If your audience would connect with honest conversation about grief, creativity, or men's mental health, I'd love to connect. Comment or DM me. 🌙
