DNI...

✦ I do not tolerate any form of bigotry. This includes homophobia, transphobia, racism, xenophobia, ableism, pedophilia, zoophilia, or anything in that realm. If any of this applies to you—do not engage with me. Get help and stay far away.✦ If you lie to me about serious matters. I value clear communication and honesty. If I can’t trust you to be truthful, I won’t keep you around.✦ If you're only here to nitpick or criticize everything I do. Constructive feedback is fine—encouraged, even—but if your goal is to tear me down or make me feel small, don’t expect to stick around.✦ If you're a Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss fan.

✦ If you treat me like your personal emotional support without asking. I care about people, but I’m not a replacement for a therapist. If you’re dealing with heavy stuff, talk to me first before dumping it on me. Don’t manipulate or guilt me into emotional labor I didn’t sign up for.✦ If you can't or won’t respect my boundaries. I bring them up for a reason. If you ignore them or try to push past them, that’s a quick way to end any relationship with me.✦ If you’re overly possessive, obsessive, or jealous. I’m my own person. You don’t get to control who I talk to or how I live. If you act entitled to my time or attention, I will walk away.✦ In general—if you fit into standard DNI criteria or just give off weird or harmful vibes, don't interact. I’m not here to be anyone’s punching bag or project.

BYI...

✦ I’m diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, ADHD, and a few other conditions I don’t feel the need to disclose. Because of this, I may come across as impulsive, blunt, emotionally distant, or overly intense at times. I experience occasional mood swings, including shifts between manic and depressive episodes, though I’m generally stable. When I’m not, I ask that you respect my need for space—it’s nothing personal, just something I need to manage safely.✦ Trusting new people is something I find genuinely difficult and often overwhelming. If I seem quiet, closed off, or hesitant around you, please don’t take it personally—it’s just part of how I protect myself.
Expanding off of this: I have no desire to build relationships with anyone new currently. I neither expect anything from others nor want them to expect anything from me. Casual interactions or kindness on my part shouldn’t be misread as an invitation to friendship.

✦ I’m not comfortable with parasocial behavior. Unless I’ve explicitly expressed that we have a specific kind of relationship, please don’t assume any personal connection between us. If I haven’t directly communicated it, it doesn’t exist.✦ Jokes or comments that are invasive, sexual, or overly "quirky" directed at me often feel uncomfortable or violating, even if you don’t mean harm. I appreciate people who can understand boundaries without needing to test them first.✦ If I set a boundary, I mean it. Repeatedly testing, questioning, or pushing past it will lead to me cutting contact or pulling away, possibly without further warning. My peace is not up for negotiation.✦ I am not a safe space for venting unless you've asked first and I’ve agreed, or if I've offered. I can be empathetic, but I also need emotional safety and preparation to offer that. Sudden emotional dumping without consent is overwhelming.✦ I care deeply about the people I allow close. If I have harmed you, crossed a boundary, or made you uncomfortable, I want to know. Accountability matters to me, and I am always open to growth when it comes to this.

Interests...

✦ It probably goes without saying, but I’m really passionate about art. I spend a lot of my free time drawing—whether it’s commissions, gifts for friends, or illustrations of my own OCs. I’ve been doing digital art for over five years now (honestly, I’ve lost track of how long it’s been). Animation is another area I love—while I haven’t done a ton of it yet, I definitely plan to dive deeper into it. Maybe even start my own series someday. Who knows!✦ Most of my creative focus goes into my main OC, Coulee. I’ve had him for about five years, and he’s a Core Vexugian—a custom species created by me and sainticide_.✦ I’ve also been roleplaying for quite a while. I took a break for a couple of years (around 2–3), but I’ve been back at it for some time now and really enjoying it again.

✦ I’ve been into poetry for a while now, even if I can’t write one to save my life. Still, I love reading poems and quotes—especially when I can connect them to my characters.✦ I’m really into all kinds of queer media. A few favorites off the top of my head: The Dragon Prince, Heaven Official’s Blessing, Heartstopper, She-Ra—and Castlevania has a special place in my heart. I watch anime and animated series pretty often, and I’m always up for recommendations!✦ I’ve got way too many interests to list them all here, but feel free to ask me about anything I’ve mentioned. I’m a yapper by nature—I love chatting about the things I’m passionate about!
