MY SPECIAL INTERESTS!!
currently, my special interests focus a lot on music, the voice, and language. this includes voice training/feminization, music/drums (playing, theory, microtonality), and gregg/teeline shorthand. however, please don't expect me to infodump about these things unless you tell me you want to hear anything.

MUSIC THAT I LIKE: fragile, close to the edge, tales from topographic oceans, mint jams, thick as a brick, from the ages, fresh fruit for rotting vegetables, give me convenience or give me death, soundtracks for the blind, pulse demon, dookie, nimrod, insomniac, full of hell & merzbow, weeping choir, petrodragonic apocalypse, laminated denim, infest the rats' nest, quarters!, seychelles, the inner mounting flame, living in darkness, & virtually indestructible. THIS IS FREQUENTLY CHANGING.

GENRES THAT I LIKE: punk, psychedelic, prog rock/metal, grindcore, power electronics, DSBM/black metal, dark ambient, drone, doom metal, free jazz, musique concrete, some outsider music, and whatever the fuck soundtracks for the blind is. reach out to me if you wanna discuss individual artists!!

BEFORE YOU FOLLOW/INTERACT: for following: if we are just meeting, please understand that i struggle with social anxiety and may not talk much, but please understand it does not come from malintent or disliking you, however i do tend to block somewhat indiscriminately based off whether or not i find you annoying.

DO NOT FOLLOW/INTERACT: in bold means i need you to fuck off immediately.

general DNI criteria, homophobes/transphobes, transmisogynists, racists, zionists, fatphobes, nazis, loli/shotacons, proshippers, self harm/eating disorder communities, object show community, etc. BUT ALSO...

ANYONE 15 YEARS OLD OR UNDER, fans of the amazing digital circus, kid rock listeners, will wood listeners, tally hall listeners, cavetown listeners, five finger death punch listeners, guns n' roses listeners, limp bizkit listeners, buckcherry listeners, mindless self indulgence listeners, deftones listeners, korn listeners, insane clown posse listeners, falling in reverse listeners, and machine gun kelly listeners.

if you willingly play and support friday night funkin', if you are active on r/traa or /eggirl on reddit, if you've ever told someone that tame impala is just one guy as if it were some unknown musical trivia, if you vape instead of smoking cigarettes, and if you think lars ulrich is a good drummer.

specifically @EchoAlexander on twitter, conservatives, anti-trans, pro-cop, anti-science, mormon missionaries, people who attend megachurches, people who shop from temu or shein, people who still listen to drake after meet the grahams came out, people who are into armpits, people who are into incest, and most people above 35.

if you type with double spaces, if you don't use an oxford comma, if you consistently spell doesn't as "dosent" without an apostrophe, if you say pronounce nuclear as nucular, if you consistently write should of instead of should have, if you can't read an analog clock, and if you don't capitalize I when used as a pronoun in formal writing.

SERIOUS: i am thankfully professionally diagnosed on the autism spectrum, and struggle with sensory overloads/shutdowns and not understanding tone, nor expressing much in both text and voice. as such, tone indicators are welcome, and with the latter if i ever come across as dry or uninterested in text or voice i don't mean for it to carry any negative undertones.

TRIGGERS: sudden, or repeated loud sound (screaming, etc), sound from multiple sources, and applied behavioral analysis therapy. also while not really a trigger, please DON'T FUCKING SEND ME STIMBOARDS OF ANYTHING!!!! to me they are infantilizing and vaguely ableist!!

SERIOUS (FOR IRL'S): i often get startled with unexpected physical touch (hugging and whatnot) and am very protective of my personal space. as such unless i'm in a situation where your company is needed and/or desired (often sensory overloads, shutdowns, or if my day is just extremely bad) i will typically not accept anything physical well. however, you do not need to ask to pat my head. it's always loved & accepted. :3
