When a Pattern Becomes a Decision – Growth of Nixie & Mina Three articles, three international rankings: what happens when SEO success stops being random—and why it turns into a conscious decision.

A small shift I didn’t expect:

Three recent articles reached page 1 on Google — internationally, within hours.

That’s not a guarantee.
But it might be a pattern.

I’m starting to treat it like one.

Google search results for “batman copyright” showing an AI overview explaining that Batman is still under copyright and may enter the public domain around 2035. On the right side, an article from Nixie & Mina about Batman and copyright appears among the sources.

💗💙 Funny to see my Batman article showing up next to Google’s AI overview for “batman copyright”. Turns out a lot of people are curious how copyright and trademarks actually work around characters like Batman. 🦇

From my perspective a Hatter or even the White Rabbit could fit into many works because Alice characters carry that playful chaos. I didn’t know about the LEGO idea, that sounds really fun! I’ve been exploring public domain lately and it’s fascinating what you can use, like Grimm fairy tales. 💗💙

Maybe we all need a little madness now and then. 💗💙

Great point. I loved writing that article because I could include the original Tenniel illustrations thanks to their public domain status. Alice has a special place in my life – to me it’s the purest example of that. I’m pretty sure a hatter-like character will appear in my game someday. 💗💙

That’s a really cool sketch. Love the character design! 🙂

Appreciate it! 💗💙
Sherlock really is the wildest public domain case so far.
I’ll drop the article on Friday.

That really means a lot. That’s exactly the kind of feeling I hope they carry.

That’s very Nixie 😌

Same character. Different moods. 💗💙

Pencil sketch of Nixie Malice, a young girl with short pigtails and a playful smile, drawn in a simple cartoon style on white paper. The drawing is labeled “Nixie Malice” and dated.

This was my very first Nixie drawing.
It was also my first drawing after nearly 30 years — shared with no followers, just days after the first texts.
No plan. No strategy. Just the need to give her a face.

A lot has grown since then.
The core hasn’t.
