Let's do this:
• Your gender? Your sexual identity? (Preferred pronouns?)
He/Him/They/Them for pronouns. I was born male. I have issues with that, sometimes to the point of anger. Yet despite internally viewing myself as 85% female, there's a security and easiness in being viewed as male. I like how I look, too. External stuff isn't really the issue, which I realize is vague, but I'm kind of a mess with how I relate to gender and don't want to derail this entire post. You can ask if you're curious.
• Your sexual orientation?
I like men. I remember in elementary school being confused as to why boys "shined brighter".
Welp.
I am very into bears which is why it's brilliant living in fucking SoCal where everyone is fit. I don't appeal to most guys here and they don't with me. I need to move. Speaking of:
• Where Are You From?
The central coast, aka a couple of hours north of LA in a place that is for tourists and rich people. I really shouldn't be living here, but it's where my family is, so.
• Where Do You Live?
Same place as where I'm from. I'm actually a descendant of one of the founding families, but that really doesn't amount to much in terms of social standing or opportunity.
• How Old Are you?
29. I like odd numbers, so I like my age. 27 is more satisfying and oceanic in my head, but 29 is grounded and rough, brown and black, which is fun, too. 30 seems way too rounded and lime green and orange. Don't try to make sense of any of this lmao.
• Favorite Type of Music?
Joanna Newsom is my #1. Bjork, Janelle Monae, Kate Bush, Laura Veirs, Mitski are some other top tier artists. You may see a theme.
• Profession or Career interest?
Well, I wanted to be a screenwriter, but I haven't been able to afford college after my parents decided against co-signing a loan so now I just work retail. Had a cool archival photo restoration job for 7 years, but I also hated how isolated I was and it drained a lot of my passion for photography. I'm better as a ghostwriter, but really I just need to get off my ass and learn proper formatting so I can do my own scripts.
• Favorite video game(s)?
Whatever I'm playing at the moment usually haha. Like I want to say Ace Attorney because I played the trilogy for the first time this past month, but I also wrote a long-ass complaint about the third game being too straight despite it clearly being the most ambitious and getting annoyed at AA2.
Real talk: Donkey Kong Country 3, Night in the Woods, Disco Elysium, Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents, Majora's Mask, Outer Wilds, Oracle of Ages/Seasons, Persona 5 Royal, Link's Awakening, Pokemon Platinum through Black 2/White 2 and let's add SuMo for good measure, Rayman Origins/Legends, Nier: Automata, Journey, Paper Mario that isn't Sticker Star or Color Splash because I haven't played them but Origami King is Top 3, Super Mario Galaxy 1/2, Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA), Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's on an Island, Super Mario Odyssey, Mario is Missing okay maybe not but it was one of my favorite games growing up quiz me I'll fail. Every iteration of The Sims. I don't remember the quality of The Urbz for GBA but I played it. Megaman Battle Network series.
Kingdom Hearts. Final Fantasy IX.
This list is not in order of how I'd rank them, but I thought it would be fun to lead with something controversial.
Fun fact: One Christmas I got a Gamecube from "Jesus Christ" signed in my dad's handwriting.
• What are your hobbies (other than gaming)?
I used to watch a lot of television. My three favorite shows are Farscape, Pretty Little Liars, and Jem and the Holograms.
Actual hobbies are getting lost browsing YouTube, bad movies, and writing posts that are way too fucking long. Analyzing literally everything. Please shut up, brain.
"Ok."
