- owners, breeders, advocates of "pitbull"/"bully" type dogs

- anyone else who I find to be annoying, harmful, stupid, or simply not to my tastes
⚠️ And finally, a warning. ⚠️
The art I share sometimes deals with potentially upsetting topics and concepts. My page is a safe space for those who wish to explore those ideas through their work, because I believe that fiction provides a safe means of discussing the many horrors and trials of life, as well as the darker parts of our imaginations. Please keep that in mind. If that sounds like too much for you, that's okay, but please refrain from following my socials. Thanks.
And in case it wasn't clear, I only support exploring taboo ideas in the context of fictional or fantasy scenarios. I do not condone them in real-life, where they cause harm and have actual consequences.⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽ ☆ ☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽ ☆ ☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽ ☆ ☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅You can find me on the following websites. Take into account what I've said above.

Info About Me.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽ ☆ ☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽ ☆ ☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽ ☆ ☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅First off, my interests.+ I'm sort of a collector. I've been picking up music boxes and porcelain figurines ever since I was a kid. I also have a decent video game collection - nothing amazing, but I cherish it. My favorite types of games are RPGs, horror games, platformers, and weird, obscure stuff that about 15 people know about. My all-time favorites include The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Tales of Symphonia, Haunting Ground, Sonic Adventure, Parasite Eve, Golden Sun, and Silent Hill 2! ++ My favorite song is "Material Girl" by Madonna, and no, that's not a joke. My taste in music is varied. I'm pretty partial to music from the 80s and 90s, and some of my most listened to tracks are from game and movie scores. The way I see it, the genre of music doesn't matter - as long as I like it, that's what counts. ++ As for my absolute favorite movie, Disney's Beauty and the Beast holds a very special place in my heart. I'm a sucker for quality animation and a large portion of my faves are animated. As for live-action films, it's kind of the same way I am with music. I tend to like stuff from the 80s and 90s, and while I have my preferences, I like films of many different styles and genres. ++ I like to take photographs too! Nature is beautiful and I think it should be appreciated whenever possible. Maybe I'll share some photos I've taken, one day. +Second, some more important tidbits.+ I take breaks from the online world a lot, so I may disappear for a while without much warning. I've got a life outside of the internet, after all. If something serious is goin' on, I'll do my best to reach out, especially if I consider you a close friend. But there may be times where I'm not able to, so bear with me. ++ On a similar note, I'm very, very shy and that is often reflected in how little I interact with people. There will be times where you reply to me, send me a DM, or otherwise try to talk to me and I either take a while to respond or don't say anything at all. Please don't take it personally, it probably isn't anything you've said or done. Like I said, I'm simply very shy and it can be difficult for me to speak to others. If it's important, I'll do my very best to respond as soon as possible. ++ I'm an artist and a writer, and while I used to post my stuff online, I've since stopped. My art has grown more personal to me over the years, so I choose to keep it to myself. But I do love making it. And who knows, maybe I'll start sharing my work online again sometime... things change. ++ I'm not a huge animal lover, in the sense that I don't consider myself a bleeding heart, but I do appreciate them. My pet cats mean the world to me. I also like deer, birds (especially corvids and hummingbirds), rabbits, moths, and butterflies. On the flipside, I'm not a dog person. My aversion to them is pretty strong for several reasons that I will not divulge here. It's not a flat-out hatred as I have owned/loved several different breeds in the past. I just don't find them pleasant to be around anymore. They overwhelm my senses and make me anxious. That said, advocates and owners of "pitbull" or "bully" type dogs might as well not even bother interacting. You won't like me and I can assure that I definitely don't like you. This is a topic that I feel very strongly about. Don't try to change my mind or convince me that I'm wrong, it won't work and I'm not interested in having a discussion about it. If you are an owner or advocate of these dogs, go away. +⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽ ☆ ☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽ ☆ ☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽ ☆ ☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

Bluesky is the best place to talk to me, at least for now.
It used to be Twitter, but I'm no longer using that site.
I delete my posts regularly, so I suggest sending over a DM if it's important.
Before interacting with any of my accounts on social media, please remember that...+ I do not want you following me if you are under 18 years of age. +Minors should steer clear as I sometimes share art and other material that they shouldn't be looking at or may be hard for them to handle.That includes...
- artistic depictions of blood, violence, and/or gore, sometimes on the heavy side
- depictions of nudity and/or sex
- fictional depictions of "dark", "taboo" or "problematic" concepts, sexual or otherwise
...among other things geared towards a mature audience.If you are under 18, choose to follow my account, and it comes to my attention, you will be blocked immediately. That is for the sake of your safety and mine. I'm an adult and my page is meant for other adults, not children or teenagers. That's all there is to it.+ I care about basic decency. +I do not tolerate any form of harassment or hateful rhetoric over fiction and those who participate in it are not wanted company. Unless there is evidential reason to believe that an actual living being is in peril, I don't approve of it under any circumstances. And while it really should go without saying, people who advocate for/participate in the abuse of real people/animals or any form of bigotry are absolutely not welcome either.Be a decent person and we'll be on good terms.Hateful, harmful, dumb, and/or annoying people will be blocked permanently. I don't have the patience for any of it.+ I support human creators, not A.I. +I do not under any circumstances support "A.I. art" or anything similar. I will block anyone who regularly or knowingly shares A.I. generated material, because I loathe art theft.+ I block and mute at my discretion. It's okay if you do, too! +With everything I've said above, I think it's pretty clear that I share what I like, whenever I like, from whoever I like. I love sharing my interests and opinions with others, but I'm not aiming to please anyone but myself when it comes to my space. I block on a whim and am liberal with the mute button. I have boundaries, I have people I dislike, and I get annoyed at a lot of things, big and small. A lot of the time, it isn't even personal. It can take very little to get on my nerves.So... don't hesitate to unfollow or block me at your leisure. There's no need to feel bad about it, nor do you need to justify doing it. You have to cater to yourself, don't expect others to do it for you.⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽ ☆ ☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽ ☆ ☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽ ☆ ☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
