I don't share too much publicly about my job, but I work full-time in a specialist STEM field after graduating in 2025.
Sort-of writer and artist, I don't have time and energy very often.
English is my first language, I'm trying to learn Russian. Currently sub-A1 level, so not yet conversational, but hopefully that will change one day!
All my pronoun preferences (it/he/xe) are pretty much equal, but I rarely get it/xe used -- so if you need to default to one set, either of those would be cool ^_^
My response times and general communicative-ness are affected by my multiple complex mental health conditions, as well as AuDHD and being physically disabled. Please be patient.
If we occasionally refer to ourselves with plural pronouns, have very different conversational styles, show obvious memory loss, etc. Don't Worry About It! (i.e., not really open to talking about it unless we initiate the conversation, so please don't try and force it)
Interests
I tend to get narrowly fixated on only listening to one or two artists at a time. Currently: Arlo Parks.
80s/90s post-punk: Bauhaus, Cocteau Twins, The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Pixies, Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Darkwave: Bitcevsky Park, Электрофорез, Молчат Дома, Ploho.
Mikugaze: Nerdneko, Robounoishi, Wintermute.
Rock, pop, everything else: Arlo Parks, Boygenius, Car Seat Headrest, Gym Class Heroes, Lucy Dacus, Mitski.
Videogames are my special interest! The one/s that I fixate on tend to change every two years or so; currently the Hollow Knight duology and the Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright trilogy. I primarily play games on PC and 3DS, and I also have a Switch Lite. The games I mostly post about are:
Ace Attorney. Completed: AA1, AA2, AA3 (on the 3DS rerelease of the trilogy). I am planning on playing AA4-6 eventually, but because it's not my primary fixation and I don't often have the energy for games, it's not my top priority.
Hollow Knight. Completed: Hollow Knight. Currently playing: Hollow Knight: Silksong. Not avoiding Silksong spoilers because I know it'll take me ages to finish it and I wanted to indulge the fixation; I'm not a skilled gamer at all despite having over 100 hours in HK. I'm currently making slow progress through a modded playthrough when I have the energy (which isn't very often).
The Legend of Zelda. My favourite is Majora's Mask. Completed: OoT(3D), MM(3D), SkSw(HD), BoTW, TotK, EoW. Partially played: LA(HD), MC, TP(HD), WW(HD).
I'm also aiming to play more of Disco Elysium, but again due to time and energy constraints it's been extremely slow. I have a 'legal' copy that I run through Steam's Proton compatibility layer, and it seems to be fine on Linux so far!
