my hobbies are mainly drawing and gaming, but i also occasionally write stories, make music, and collect physical media! for the last one, i mainly collect vinyls and cds, but i am hoping to get some other stuff in my collection too :)


interests

bolded = special interest
italicized = hyperfixation

broad interests:
music, british media, video games, comics, animation, and generally just subgenres of media itself (eg. lost media, weird media, obscure media, etc etc)
specific interests:
bbc saturday morning shows (mainly swap shop, saturday superstore, going live!, and the first three series of live & kicking), bbc radio 1 (mainly 80s era), presenter Mike Read (i don't agree with his stances), nintendo games (espically pokemon and rhythm heaven), rhythm games, deltarune, usagi yojimbo, archie comics, the scp foundation, earclacks weapon balls (including some fan leagues), and ham's ball battles

i'm probably not in the fandoms of anything mentioned, ask me just in case. PLEEASSSEE talk to me about anything that's bolded or italicized though, i'll cry tears of happiness

as an fyi for people wondering if i like the beatles (since i like people who are inspired by them), i used to but now i'm neutral on them. i personally request you don't ask me about their members outside of discographies though (i hate them with the exception of McCartney nowadays)


genres:
new wave and related genres (especially synthpop, post-punk and two tone/ska-rock), classic rock (i'm incredibly picky with what bands i like from it though), rock in general to be honest, power pop, mashup music, eurodance
genres i wanna get into:
third wave ska, acid jazz, hip hop in general (personally prefer more instruments in it though)

dni list

broad:
- creeps (pedophiles/MAPs, zoophiles, etc)
- bigots (racists, transphobes/terfs, homophobes, queerphobic in general, etc)
- radqueers
- those who align with right wing politics
- proshippers
- people under 13 or above forty
- nsfw accounts (i'm not eighteen)
- art snobs (especially ones for music)
more "specific":
- old friends i have had (especially if the memories i have aren't fond). i do not want to reconnect with you
- people who can't respect opinions in general
- people who try to push their religion onto others
- a "Phillip Schofield's a groomer" believer (there isn't evidence proving it)
- people who try to justify Mike Barson's use of blackface/brownface
- you constantly sexualize the people i like, eg. constantly saying that two people "were fucking" or something (jokes are fine as long as it has spoiler tags and/or a content warning tag on it)
- you constantly talk about rpf ships as if they were real (i don't mind rpf, but this sets me off)
to be honest if you piss me off or generally make me uncomfortable then i do not want you interacting with me. everyone else go crazy, all i ask is politeness from your end and we should be chill. i'm mostly a hard blocker by the way, so if you happen to get blocked by me don't go out of your way to make me unblock you


before you follow or interact...

general

- please be patient with me, that's a first
- i'm pretty sensitive sometimes too
- i occasionally have paranoia. if i accuse you of something don't take it too seriously please :(
- i usually don't initiate conversation first unless i notice something random, i want to get to know you better, or you are a close friend of mine. you have to do your own shit if you want to have a connection with me
- use tone tags with me please!!
- address stuff relating to me as it happens too!! if i lash out about it, i'm likely hurt, but i'll understand. don't be surprised or offended if i do though
- sometimes i tend to be very outspoken about my opinions (especially on the music that i dislike). if you don't like that then you can either ignore me, block me (though i might be confused), or just tell me to not do that around you. i will not be offended by it, as it's something i'm still trying to work on
- ask for my triggers, i won't say them here

music related

- usually, i'm pretty open to recommendations, but i have a massive backlog right now. if you have something you want me to listen to, be patient
- additionally, do not pressure me into listening to your recommendation. it makes me disinterested almost immediately
- in general it takes me a bit to get to albums, as i have other things that i’d like to do. songs i'm usually a lot quicker with though
- if i say i don’t like something it doesn’t mean that i hate it or inherently think it’s bad. in most cases i probably thought it was decent at best
