damn i never made one of these for FA, huh. i made this account in fucking 2008 and idk how many y'all been here that whole time, but... well. things change. might as well make an introduction to have on here.

DOB: january 13 1992 (i'm a capricorn in like 3 or 4 different planet positions or whatever they're called which is very funny considering i may be one of the laziest people alive). i do not believe in astrology (i am also atheist), but i like that i'm a capricorn because seagoats fucking rule. i have folded them into my identity because i like them.
GENDER: male+ [transed gender]
PRONOUNS: he/him
OTHER IDENTIFIERS?: i call myself "gay" in the classic sense. i'm a dude into dudes, and that's what's notable probably, but also i think basically everyone is hot regardless of gender or whatever else. i think of myself more as "queer" these days. being aromantic and asexual adds a layer of complexity to this that is annoying to try to explain, so i guess don't worry too much about that. honestly it doesn't matter that much to me, but there is the reality that i am permanently Unavailable, so to speak. did i have to write a paragraph about this? yes. sorry lmao. my gender is also more complex than simply "male," but i will refrain because this section is long enough as it is.

WHY AM I HERE?: i'm just trying to have fun.

WHO... AM I?: well, i'm from pennsylvania and i grew up as a white and poor queer in scenic appalachia, and boy. i tell ya. that does some shit to a guy. been living in cleveland for almost a decade. i like it here. lakes are great and we got a lot of em.

FAV CREATURES: my favorite animals are ones which are Shaped. i looked at a weevil the other day and was like "god damn, that's a handsome fellow." i enjoy a good bone structure and muscle curvature. birds in flight are the absolute pinnacle of this for me, and ungulates follow as animals containing many shapes i like quite a lot. i really enjoy looking at birds, but i greatly dislike actually drawing them. it's cuz it's hard and it never gets easier. i'm cursed with disease of "bad at drawing birds," unfortunately.

ANYTHING ELSE?: i'm a notorious navel-gazer, and this will bore a particular type of person to tears. that's okay. i have accepted that about myself. i fear i might also be an "artist's artist," meaning the only people who really admire my work are other artists. is saying that about yourself considered self-aggrandizing? because to me it kind of seems like a situation which sucks for you if you need to be able to survive off your art. and let me tell you, my art doesn't do a lot to help me survive.
