    Streaming my art!

    Oh that's alright, I only meant chatting in the chat box, haha. Sadly I don't even have a working mic.

    Streaming my art!

    Hey guys, I'm kinda nervous about this tbh, but I'm bored and lonely and just recently developed an art style I actually enjoy. I thought this might be a good way to meet some buddies and improve my art skills. Would anyone be interested in watching me draw/chatting with me once I get the...

    What characters do/did you find relatable?

    I think I have the strongest connections with Ciel from Kuroshitsuji, Haru from Free!, Arya from the Inheritance Cycle, Lapis from Steven Universe, and Riza from Fullmetal Alchemist. They're all pretty serious, and none of them seem very socially inclined. I actually think it's canon that Haru...

    Honesty and Relationships

    This is true; I do tend to harbor a lot of shame and guilt about who I am, and it makes liking myself kind of hard sometimes. I guess it's because I was raised to believe that being this way is a terrible, shameful thing, and for about 18 years, I actually believed it and tried to repress it. I...

    Very Restrictive Interests?

    Yeah, it's always great to find someone who understands! It's rare for me as well; no one here really understands the struggle. I don't know what I'd do without forums like this one. Congratulations on your award :blush: I never got to take a creative writing course, but I was very involved in...

    Honesty and Relationships

    Hey guys. I don't really know where to start with this, because I have so many emotions about this topic and they're so entangled that it's hard to make sense of them sometimes. I'm not even sure there's a point I'm trying to make here. Maybe I just need to vent. I've always had trouble making...

    Very Restrictive Interests?

    That would honestly be a dream come true. I relate so much to that, you have no idea. I've always loved to write, and I always wanted to write fanfiction as well, but my inspiration can't stay in one place long enough. The same goes for my original material - no inspiration, no content. It's...

    Very Restrictive Interests?

    I know, right? It's extremely stressful and exhausting.The longest I've ever stuck with a single interest was about 3-4 months, I guess. At the time, I'd thought that I'd finally settled on one, but of course it changed again. I think maybe if I wasn't so susceptible to depression, this problem...

    Very Restrictive Interests?

    Eggs are healthy? I thought they were full of cholesterol, haha. Anyway, that sounds neat :) Quail are pretty cute; I'd like to have some for pets. I've never heard of strawberry guavas, that's cool! Do they taste like strawberries? Surprisingly, I'm not a musician, despite how much I love...

    Very Restrictive Interests?

    I understand how you feel. It'll be alright, you'll feel better in time :) Try to focus on your hobbies and try out new things. I've found that keeping plants around the house is very theraputic - caring for them and seeing them respond through growth, it's pretty rewarding. :D:hibiscus:

    What makes you happy?

    Haha, not everyone knows who my profile pic is. My favorite at the moment is Twilight Princess. I've never played OoT, but I really want to.

    Magical power and Aspies

    It's not exactly a super power, but being an eloquent speaker would be a dream come true. I'm such a terrible speaker; I'd rather write down my feelings than say them outloud. That, or the ability to just pause time for a while, so I can catch up on the things I need to do, or just to have some...

    What makes you happy?

    Animals (horses are my favorite), nature, Zelda games, cold weather (autumn is the best), hiking, collecting crystals, books, my laptop, listening to music (especially instrumentals), staying up late, decorating my living space, being alone (most of the time), doing DIY crafts, being a vegan...
