triggers/phobias/major discomforts: dystopian thematics, zombies, excessive physical contact with others (yes, i have lowkey haphephobia,) anything where child abuse/torture/death is prominent [i also hate rats, but it's not really a phobia or anything]

ABOUT MY ACCOUNT

gallery: fanart. fanart everywhere for my various fandoms. my muse shifts between things constantly. you'll see a lot of DC stuff. and writing. you'll see a LOT of fanfiction.

statuses: mostly quick thoughts, often about characters or ideas that sit on my muse. sometimes used to give updates on my current situations IRL and/or to remind people about my streaming sessions.

journals: occasionally I'll give in-depth updates on things IRL. but expect a lot of tags and the occasional review, sometimes promoting or signal-boosting others. really, my journals that update writing statuses and my Let's Talk About... journals are the only interesting AND important ones.

commissions/trades/requests/gifts/etc: I don't think any of my art is good enough for me to demand payment, though i've considered possibly doing writing commissions. I don't do requests. gifts are made at my discretion, on my own time. trades are a by-the-individual sort of thing; ask me about them if you're really interested. collabs are a maybe, depending on the nature of the collab suggested.

WARNINGS

• Multiple threads of conversation, especially when some of them are walls-o-text, tend to make me nervous and i get anxious trying to answer them. The more pressure I get to respond to something from someone, the more it ramps up my stress and anxiety. I'm easily guilted into answering those things faster, but my answers won't be as substantial or have as much heart, and I feel like forcing me to respond faster makes my responses disingenuous.
• That being said, I sometimes answer walls-o-text with walls-o-text.
• I have two part-time jobs and I work nearly every day in a week.
• I am married and will often mention my husband-creature, as he's a very important part of my life.
• If you have a problem with me or if i have hurt/upset/offended you in any way, please tell me. Speak to me honestly, be open about how you're feeling.
• When I care about someone, when I have friends that I genuinely love and care for as family, I can get incredibly protective and intense about it. You mess with someone I care about or talk shit about them, I am going to get cold and hostile if you then try to cozy up to me. I won't tolerate that crap.
• If swearing in casual conversation or during personal vents isn't something you're comfortable with, please tell me. The more comfortable I am around you and the more i trust you, the more liberally I will swear in conversation unless you explicitly ask me not to.
• I do NOT always open up about how I am feeling or what I am going through. I've become more and more selective about who I trust with what information when I need to talk and I tend to not always say everything that's on my mind to everyone. Many people have grown angry with me for not choosing to disclose information to them; that makes me even more wary and less likely to trust them again in the future, so if I don't tell you everything that's going on, please understand that there are some personal things I think are best kept more private.
• I rarely give out my Skype info but you're free to ask about it. I almost never give out my cell phone number.
• Diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome, high-functioning. Years of training have helped me to be very aware of social cues and I take a lot of notice if others are feeling a certain way (even if i can't always identify how they feel exactly.) However, I still can come across as detached or unsympathetic at times, and if I do, please don't be afraid to tell me; just remember I'm not perfect. 
• On the matter of being an Aspie, I also tend to get excessively hyper-focused on certain special interests or topics as a result, and if you're getting sick of me constantly focusing on the same thing then again, please don't be afraid to tell me.
• If for some reason I need to take space and distance from others for the sake of self-care, I will usually do so without giving any sort of heads-up. If I need to self-care, I'm more likely to flat-out do it and apologize later for going radio silent instead of announcing that I need to do it. Announcing it usually makes me feel guilty, and that guilt is detrimental to self-care imho.
