about me

written 05/07/2026, last revised 06/08/2026

So you want to know more about me? Stawp, you're making me blush >:(

Congratulations, you've gone deep enough that I'm comfortable to drop my clinical and sane facade - prepare for paranoia, fursonas, and absolute queer-to-the-max.

identity

I'm transfemme non-binary, my pronouns are they/it, and I'm omnisexual.

There is an element of fluidity in both my gender identity and sexual orientation, some weeks I may be quite male-coded (i.e. boystrous, working out, attracted to women), and other weeks I may be quite female-coded (i.e. delicate, empathetic, attracted to guys). These qualities I have listed I do not do so with the intention of stereotyping, I mean them more in the traditional sense.

I tend to spend most of my time male-leaning but not fully male-coded, however I am pre-hormones so that may change in due course.

views, politics, and paranoia

I believe in mutualism, and that we should all work together as a species for the betterment of everyone. To the, lesser informed, this may sound like communism, but mutualism is slightly different.

I believe that we should all contribute services and products for the betterment of our peers, in exchange for their services and products. For example, I offer several online services to the public for free, and what I get out of it is the distillation of the mainstream internet which in the long-term will benefit my life.

Furthermore, I do not believe in violence of any kind. I believe that violence is an archaic capacity of our bodies from when it was needed during our early development and pre-language, but now that we have means of effective communication, abstract thought, science and mathematics, and global reach I see no reason why bloodshed must be required in a modern society.

I will not stand to fund any military of any kind, whether that be direct (i.e. me paying a "defense" contractor for a service) or indirect (i.e. me using "free" services that sell my data to fund genocide).

The above standpoints severly limit what services and products I can actually use and remain true to myself, which is why I am such a big advocate for free-and-open-source (FOSS) software, specifically OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux[1], and the Ladybird[2] web-browser.

lifestyle and relationships

I live a life of indulgence, my mantra for this is "I'd rather live a short life doing all the things I wanted to do than live a long life full of regret and missed opportunities."

I smoke, I drink, I do drugs, I'm sexually non-monogamous, and I fucking love my life. Healthy? Absolutely fucking not. Happy? Absolutely fucking am.

I'm 18 years old, barely scratched the surface of life, and yes there are countless things I want to do yet, but if I was to die today I would die happy and fulfilled. I do not fear death; there is little point, it's inevitable, you should sooner make peace with it than fear it.

My romantic partner and primary sexual partner is... nothing short of incredible. We've been together since 2024 and she has stood by my side while I work through my political views, what I want to do with my life, sexual orientation, and gender identity without fault.

I also must pay credit to my friends too, I've struggled to uphold friendships in the past but will be making an honest effort from henceforth. My current friendgroup has only been so since November 2025, but I have met so many incredible people that are nothing short of inspirational; and I've met them exactly when I really needed them.

If it weren't for both my friends and my partner, I likely would not be here today.

commitments

Primarily I'm in full-time education currently studying a T-level in Software Development.

Outside of that I work part-time in IT support at a regional law firm.

I also do try to volunteer in my local community and political parties that align closest with my views (though, my views are ones of anarchist origins, and so no political party will ever be 100% on-target). My time after my primary two commitments however is a very scarce resource, and so I often can only contribute a couple hours per-week.

fursona

I have a fursona, though I would hazard to refer to myself as a furry. I have a friend who has opened up to me about being a furry and, when I stated that I was not when asked, they were quite shocked.

So after some introspective thinking, and reminicisng over past life events, I have fallen onto the reality that I do have a fursona.

Though, again, it is not a major part of my personality, nor do I feel a need to live like it, so I wouldn't refer to myself as a furry. No discredit to those that do, everyone should be free to be true to themselves! <3

That fursona would be a Synth, and you can read more about it on my dedicated fursona page.

hobbies

My primary hobby would be gaming, I do enjoy a good management/simulation/factory game when I get the opportunity.

I treat Coffee Stain Studios' Satisfactory as basically a second life. Sometimes, I have genuinely had days where I've woken up, walked about three steps to my desk, and 12 hours later walked the same three steps in reverse back to my bed; and then have continued to play Satisfactory in my dreams.

I do also enjoy adventure/rpg games, and older AAAs (pre Unreal Engine 5 era). I specifically only play older and golder AAAs because, well, modern AAAs are fucking ass and run like it too.

I am about to declare myself quite a hypocrite though as I now tell you that my favourite game of all time is hands-down Cloud Imperium Games' Star Citizen. If you know anything about Star Citizen, you'll know that it is basically the quintessential experience as to what makes a bad AAA all bundled into one game.

Scope-creep, tech debt, poor optimisation, anti-cheat, DRM, micro-transactions, P2W, extreme budgets, large time investment, large storage footprint... The list goes on.

I should not love Star Citizen as much as I do, but, alas, I am a massive space nerd, and I fucking love the universe of Star Citizen, the environments, the jump-gates, the planet tech, the server tech. I could gush about this piece of shit all day long.

Other games I play or have put significant playtime into relative to my most-played games include:

And many, many more. I have ~200 games in my Steam Library alone. You can add me on Steam with the friend code: 877598767.

fiction and literature

Apart from video games, there are also several works of literature or cinematic fiction that I also greatly enjoy.

The biggest one has got to be Star Wars.

While not necessarily my favourite film(s), that title goes to Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014), Star Wars from a worldbuilding and lore point-of-view is by far my favourite sci-fi work of all time.

Furthermore, I've been into Star Wars for literally my whole life, since I was a very small kid, to today, so there's a serious sentimental value for me whenever I watch a film or series set in the galaxy far-far away.

What trilogy is my favourite I hear you ask? The prequel trilogy.

Hey, at least it's not the sequels. We can all collectively agree that the sequels do not deserve to be canon (not even Disney).

Apart from Star Wars, I also really enjoy... Harry Potter. Which is quite a contrast and not a very common overlap.

Honestly? I think Harry Potter is basically just Star Wars but reskinned.

Star Wars Character / Faction / Lore Harry Potter Counterpart
Luke Skywalker Harry Potter
The Galactic Empire Voldemort's Death Eaters
The Galactic Republic Harry Potter & Squad
Darth Vader Severus Snape
Darth Sidious Dumbledore
Obi-Wan Kenobi Sirius Black
The Force Magic (obviously)

The list really does go on. Obviously, all of that is my own opinion and I'm not going to put too much thought into such a topic, but if you want to you can reach me at the email address at the bottom of this page to discuss these pairings.

JK Rowling is a fucking awful human being, and I do not support her directly nor indirectly (torrents, anyone?), but the Harry Potter world is genuinely quite well made and the lore deep enough to make the world feel grounded in principle.
