General

General: I play the bass, and I sing! I also play lacrosse, but who even gaf about sports. I longboard. I try to write, mostly comics, but also some novels and poetry; however, I've been struggling with a major creative block lately 😬. I like to play TTRPGs (mainly D&D and Call of Cthulhu but I’ve been reading the books for Dragonbane, Mythic Bastionland, and The Welcome to Nightvale TTRPG) and I collect rocks, stones, minerals, and crystals! I’m also really into old-school film photography but I have very limited darkroom access since I use the one at my school and it is absolute shit. I lovelovelove baking! NFL fan GO PATS!!! Really into weird messed up fiction podcasts like Welcome to Nightvale and Hello from the Hallowoods and things in that vein. Analog horror fan. I’m also really into true crime but I’m normal about it I promise, none of that idolizing killers bullshit. Amateur mixologist. Starbucks barista. Casual dogboy every once in a while. Lowkey practitioner of witchcraft.

Movies

Movies: say what you will about it, but my all time fav is The Long Walk. I swear they made that movie specifically for me, I love me a sadboy yaoibait film. I’m also a big fan of horror, thrillers, and superhero films. My favorite directors are Christopher Nolan and Guillermo del Toro. Speaking of Christopher Nolan, I just recently watched The Prestige and… holy shit.

Television

Books

Books: Currently deep in a classics phase, yikes. I also like Lovecraft, but not the racist parts because that guy sucks. I enjoy most fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. Cheesy queer romances are my not-so-guilty pleasure 😊. I am absolutely obsessed with the work of Leo Fox, especially Prokaryote Season. My favorite book of all time is Nothing To See Here by Kevin Wilson. Read it now. ------------------------------------ Currently reading: The Iliad by Homer paired with The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Heroes

Heroes: My sister and all EMTs, Paramedics, and Firefighters like her.
