CHARACTER: show
► Character

I am Shad. Kim. Your alpha and omega. Self-identified ♥♥♥♥ of edge, master of being blunt at the wrong times. As of October 2016 I am 21 and officially can drink if I so opt to.
INTERESTS: show
► Interests

I like photography, specifically nature and scenery. I maintain a blog of my own where I showcase photos I find and feature photosets that people submit to me on the rarest occasions.

I love politics, and loves to engage people to milk their brains of all that is juicy and controversial. This usually doesn't blow over well.

I do some graphic design that no one really notices, likes, or pays attention to.

I like gaming, and tend to stick around for the games that everyone forgets for newer releases.
PERSONALITY: show
►Personality

I'm an introvert, and slightly apathetic while empathetic in silence. I'm antisocial but strive engage with people as best possible.

Some say I have a bit of a stalker/serial killer vibe, but in really I just keep to myself a lot, for a lot of personal reasons.
VIEWS: show
►Views

• Religion: I'm an atheist. I used to be a devout baptist, to the point I thought I wasn't praying hard enough when my life was ♥♥♥♥. Since, I've felt like if there was a god, he or she would have intervened rather than tortured his creation in the form of a "test". Nonetheless, I love the Buddhist approach of Yeshua's scripture, to the point that I self-identify as what I call a non-theistic Yeshuan philosopher.

• LGBTQ: ♥♥♥♥ what you want, ♥♥♥♥ who you want, just don't break the law, hurt people, or trivialize gender and identity with unproven ♥♥♥♥. I sometimes feel like the LGBT community is exclusive, and that there is discrimination primarily towards bisexuality and asexuality, with the former being condemned if in a het relationship and the latter being called a figment of "questioning".

• Gender: I believe in a spectrum, not a construct, where more of what I designate as male-oriented hormones can lead to a male-based psyche, and more female-oriented hormones equate a female psyche. In the middle is androgyny and essentially "genderfluid", with a fluctuating hormone frequency leading to "genderflux". I do not believe in non-binary genders, and while I respect the idea of a two-spirit identity in native culture, there still needs to be science performed to verify such exists biologically and chemically. I feel like many, specifically the youth, use gender identity as a means of fitting in and exploring sexuality, and that some take it to extremes, hurting the LGBT community.

• Politics: Hit me. I love a good debate.

• Abortion: Depends on the timeframe, the frequency at which the person aborts annually, and the reasoning behind it. If you are just aborting to indulge a fetish, you ♥♥♥♥ need a doctor. Aborting because you keep getting pregnant from flings, invest a bit more in birth control and use it right. If you abort to avoid a disorder or disability, it's understandable. I believe there is a cap when the baby is big enough to be born prematurely, though.

Don’t really have anything else different from what other people said/worth mentioning.
VALUES: show
►Values

• Self-love
• Humility
• Charity
• A lust for knowledge
FEARS: show
►Fears
HOOOO BOY HERE WE GO.

I'm not going to make this ♥♥♥♥ up, first of all, because it affects me bad. I do have prescribed medication otherwise I'd be in lockdown hiding in a corner of my room whimpering with my heart pounding and my vision fading. It gets bad for me, rarely, but occasionally it hits without warning.

In a sequence of events, as diagnosed:

Social anxiety --> Generalized Anxiety Disorder --> Emetophobia --> Agoraphobia --> Anthropophobia

Basically what started as me being shy escalated into me being self-conscious about my body and my life. That led to me being a basketcase of paranoia and worry. After a bout of food poisoning, my brain developed an irrational fear of vomit, which led to me being afraid of vomiting in public, and after shutting myself off from the world and cutting contact to friends and family, I suddenly became fearful of people entirely.

If there is one fear I do have that doesn't coincide with phobia, however, it's the fear that I will die forgotten, that no one will remember me or know my name, and that I will have not impacted anyone in the best that I ever could with their life.
HOPES AND DREAMS: show
►Hopes And Dreams

To be happy. That's basically it. I may not have lived a long life, but I have lived through a hell of my own to know that we live selfishly, in the desire to achieve happiness with ourselves and our life choices. All I want out of the world, out of my life, is to finally be happy. Happy with myself, happy with my life, happy with my future.
FUN FACTS: show
►Fun Facts

• I caught a pedophile once, posing as a teenage girl. It was interesting. He called me gay, but had to explain how he came to that conclusion, which basically screwed him over.
• I used to be called a hacker in school, and rumors were passed that I killed a man or that I was developing nuclear weapons in a basement. Little do they know the prisoners I keep in the barn tho. ;)
• I collect NatGeo magazines, obselete phones, forgotten software and image files, and am a hobbyist when it comes to woodworking, metalworking, and general DIY designs
• I can't eat seafood, beef, and I choke on vegetables easily. I stick to a fiber/fruit diet, and sometimes ground beef if I can stomach it.


HI THIS IS AN EDIT AND I SWIPED THIS FROM LM

Here's the old post
Spoiler: show
Who am I and what am I like?
  • I am Shad. Shad is thee.
  • I'm antisocial, a basketcase of anxiety, and 20 years old.
  • My brother is a case of his own with physical disabilities and memory loss
  • I live in the dark, struggle with gastrointestinal issues
  • Sometimes I don't know my own gender or sexuality, because it's never constant.


What are my views?
  • I am an atheist who, because of a Baptist background growing up, lives what I have dubbed a nontheistic Christian lifestyle, in accordance to what I believe to be moral and ethical Yeshuan philosophies.
  • Money has no value to me, but I see myself as a commu-socialist.
  • If you're gay, you're gay, and if you're trans, you're trans. It doesn't bother me, and I only view it from a scientific perspective.(i.e. what the internet dubs a trans-medicalist). I'm a scientist at heart, though.
  • I believe in the death penalty ONLY in particular instances, and there must be explicit evidence.
  • I believe in pro-choice.
  • I believe government and religion should not be used hand in hand, nor should religion or minority be favored.

How do I view the world?
  • It is a planet dominated by a self-aware species constantly undergoing evolution and mutation, which has developed a supremacy complex with self-entitlement issues regarding the lives of rare and exotic species, or what little fertile land there is to exist as they strip the landscape of its natural minerals for their invaluable lust.
  • I believe the world is governed on lie and power, and we as the sheep fall to it every day, either by stubbornness, or because we have no other choice.
  • I believe one day, humans will seek to mine planetary figures such as asteroids or other celestial bodies, and this bothers me tremendously. Stay on your own planet.

What do I enjoy?
  • Art
  • Music
  • Philosophy
  • 80s films
  • old-school anime from the 80s-2000 era
  • Cooking
  • Cleaning
  • Code. Puzzles. Problems.

What I value:
  • Intellect
  • Balance
  • Care for oneself and one another
  • Symbiosis

Hopes and dreams:
  • To one day be able to live a life without fear
  • To actually do something with my talents and not waste them

Re: Who are you?

Postby Karyete » October 19th, 2015, 9:28 am

hnnng I hate talking about myself so here we gooooo

Who am I and what am I like?

I'm Karyete, also known as Sam in real life (my proper name is Samuel but I don't like to be called that). I'm currently a very skinny 15 year old, and I live in the east of England. I'm kinda shy, but pretty approachable, unless you're an absolute dickweed in which case I don't care for you wasting my time. I'm in my last year of high school and have no idea what I want to do with my life (although I have a couple of ideas) so that's cool. I did karate for 5 years (almost 6? I lost count) but I had to stop due to odd muscle pains in my lower back and right knee - which, annoyingly enough, isn't easy to diagnose, so I still don't know exactly what it is or what caused it. My family situation is pretty good, I have a lil bro who was born earlier this year and he's made me super happy.
I'm not much of a talker, but I like to listen to other people talk. Because of this a lot of real-life friends tend to speak to me about issues they have with their family or friends, etc. and I try to give suggestions and advice. I like to consider myself a pretty damn fine friend, which is saying a lot because I absolutely hate saying or thinking anything good about myself. Needless to say, my self-esteem leaves a lot to be desired.

What are my views?

While I can't say I firmly don't believe in any God or divine entity, I find it pretty hard to accept. There are a lot of things (i.e. slow, painful death by disease) that I think are...unusual...for a "God" to put on our planet. I'll leave it at that, because I'm not a fan of stating my views.

How do I view the world?

I think it could be a lot better, but at the same time I think it's pretty damn impressive how we've managed to come as far as we have. I don't think "the world is full of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" - this site alone disproves that - but at the same time there's still a lot of stuff that we could do well without.
Back to the positive stuff though, I think that some of the stuff that we've achieved throughout our history is...pretty damn impressive. We've found ways of living even in the harshest environments, fighting the deadliest diseases, and engineering some super useful technology.

What do I enjoy?
The obvious - video games
Karate
Garlic bread (<3)
Good, supportive friends and family
Art (drawing, I guess)

What I Value
Manners and politeness
Not being a ♥♥♥♥
Friendship and family
Common sense

phew

Well isn't this going to be fun. As if you don't know me enough already lol. :S

I reeally hope people read this because I like people to know the real me, and I won't hold back here.



    Who am I and what am I like?
I am Caitlin. My middle name is Oonagh, I am not ashamed to say that aloud, but my surname is still private. Only a few people know that here. I'm 173cm tall so about 5'8", which is apparently pretty tall for a girl. I'm a pansexual, meaning I can love anyone of any gender or background. I was born in Peterborough (read as, urban ♥♥♥♥) in the East of England. I was quite young when we moved homes though and I now live in a town in the West Midlands. I struggled a lot at school, both primary and high school, because I was diagnosed with asperger's syndrome when I was about 5. This label heavily dominated me for the majority of my life and it doesn't help when you have your dad constantly pin more and more labels on you. I have grown up believing that I have no empathy and understanding for others, that I am an alien born in a world I don't belong in, that no-one will ever understand me, and basically I've just been made to feel like I am a complete outcast from the youngest of ages. And I feel I am living proof that this kind of treatment can really ♥♥♥♥ you up. Don't get me wrong I had a loving family, but was completely misunderstood, because of a diagnosis that barely even defines me anymore.

Throughout school I really had problems with making secure relationships and friends with people due to this. When I first started making accounts on the internet, I became a bit of a compulsive liar...I made whole identities of people that weren't real. It began with just one, "my cousin". It was because I felt so inadequate, I kept making up new people who would have my weaknesses as their strengths. But it became an obsession because each identity had something that I felt it lacked. Deep down I just wanted to be loved, and I believed nobody would love me if I was just me. That's why I call it compulsive as I had very little control over my actions here.

But I stopped a good number of years ago now, because I reached a point where I realised I am truly an individual. All the labels that had been put on me was wrong. The moment my thoughts changed is the moment I felt most vulnerable at home, but that terror totally changed me as a person I think. No matter who I try to be, what false pretence I try to take on, I will always be me. And I see so much beauty in the world that I never saw before, and so much potential I have for myself. Fyi, I am an INFJ in Jungian theory. It is the rarest type so that might be partly the reason I always felt so different and misunderstood by everyone.

All in all, I am quite a black and white person. Not in logic, but when it comes to which ends of the stick I'm on. Like when I'm angry, I can either be very hot-tempered or very cold, not really in the middle. And I either don't care at all/am painfully indifferent, or I care so much that it hurts me. The one thing I never sway from though is my individualistic nature. I am neither a leader or a follower, I am purely for myself, and if other people want to join me, that's up to them.

    What are my personal views?
- Religion: I am agnostic, in fact, I even try not to refer to myself as that. I have my own sets of theories and beliefs that connect with me, meaning I'm not atheist or theist, but I'm not exactly in questioning much about other people's theories either. So once again, I just like to be a perfect individualist.
- Sexuality/Gender Identity: Be who the hell you wanna be. I'll love you or hate you dependent on you as a person.
- Emotions: Embrace them. But don't involve me in them unless you're going to let me absorb them with you, or help you understand them.
- Death: I don't believe in anything in particular. I just believe that your soul may go on, but whatever happens, heaven or hell, you will never know or be conscious of it. Your brain dies when you die, your heart dies when you die. If you go to heaven, how do you expect to be aware of it or feel something about it if you don't have those parts of you? That's not to say your soul doesn't have a consciousness, but I believe it is a totally different kind of consciousness, either a sense of overwhelming peace or overwhelming fear. Death is so complex, there's no way we can begin to describe it or understand it.
- Life: Your life is yours. If you want to waste it, or live it to the full, it's your choice. I don't agree with people trying to take that choice away, no matter how much they might disagree with it. You can encourage people to change their mind sure, but don't outright tell them what they should or shouldn't do. Let them use their free will.
- Politics: I'm left wing. 'Nuff said.
- Opinions: Have them, be opinionated as much as you like. Just don't deliberately throw them at me if you know they are only going to hurt or aggravate me. Be sensible with your opinions.

    What do I enjoy?
I enjoy creative things, such as writing stories/poetry, music, drama, art/designing, dancing; basically any form of art that you can use to express yourself. I love really out of the box and unorthodox things. I love things that come together as a jigsaw and give you that "oh, that's smart!" lightbulb realisation moment.

I also like people, but sometimes am so scared or anticipating of them that I feel like I hate them. I love psychology too, personality theories, counselling, mental health and anything like that- it's right up my street, I love knowing how the brain works and how people feel. Maybe because I've been told I'm useless at it my whole life idk. I also like orderly, neat things, such as colour coding correctly, and intricate patterns that make sense. <3

I also love geography and countries and locations, and for this reason a part of me would love to be able to travel to different places.

    What am I scared of?
There are two types of fears for me- emotional fears. So fears like, I'm scared of not having approval, I'm scared of the past repeating itself but at the same time weirdly intrigued by it. I'm scared of never reaching my full purpose and potential in life. I'm scared of losing everyone I love, so instead I push people away. Sometimes I'm even scared of myself.

Then there's another set of fears- physical fears. Actual things I'm scared of, such as vomiting, I have emetophobia, I'm also scared of moths and beetles. Ironically I'm not scared at all of spiders. I'm scared of wasps, I'm scared of things that are scarily high in adrenaline such as rollercoasters/theme parks, and horror films. Although my horror film fear was caused by something I saw once when I was about 10. I'm not going to repeat it. *shudder*

I'm also really, really absolutely terrified of gaining weight or being fat. This fear controls my entire life right now. What's worse is I have a distorted body image so when I look in the mirror, I don't see what everyone else sees, I see someone much larger, and I see all my flaws magnified. When the two are combined, all hell breaks loose, living in constant fear and obsession, which causes me to eat very little and ignore hunger, leading to the fact it's making me gradually more ill. In other words I have anorexia. Everyone has heard of anorexia I'm sure, but maybe not everyone knows the true definition of it, so I wanted to clarify that.

    What do I value?
I value honesty, I value kindness, and I value people who aren't afraid to stand up for themselves. I really value those who put others before themselves and I admire those who can also recognise when they're wrong, and know when to be strong and take a step back.

I value independence too and individuality. As you can tell, I am someone who reeeally promotes individuality lol. Well, who doesn't? Let's be honest we all want to be ourselves and not be judged for it.

    What are my hopes and dreams?
Maybe it's something a lot of people see as unrealistic, and believe me for a long time I did. And then I realised, the people who have that mindset are the people that never get anywhere in life. I want to be an actor and a singer, maybe not someone who makes albums and acts in films exactly, but I'd love to do acting with singing alongside such as musicals, or if I am doing films/TV then I'd still love to be able to sing whenever possible, even if it's just as a hobby or in my spare time.

My main dream when it comes to acting is, no lie, I want to be a superhero or supervillain, with my own alter ego and my own costume, all just for me. XD

But if I've gone years and years of my life, with no luck at acting or singing, and I've tried as much as I possibly can, I will train to become a counsellor. If I go through my life never achieving what my true goals and dreams are, then I will settle for helping others achieve their goals and dreams. At least then, I get to be a somebody, I get to give guidance, and I get appreciated for it too.

I read that title in Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice. :lol:

Who am I? What am I like?: show
Who am I? What am I like?

My name is Nathaniel.
I'm a male American. I'm a very skinny guy. I'm at least 6'2". I tend to be a loner sometimes. I'm very shy and quiet, but I still act silly and upbeat around my peers sometimes. I tend to be impatient and want to get things done ASAP. I always want to help people that struggle with things.

I was born in Alabama on October 9, 1997. I moved to Tennessee around age 3 I think. I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome not to long after that. Then I started elementary school. Though I made a few friends, I never really interacted with other kids very well, and when I started 5th grade, I was put in a social skills class. I was kinda picked on by other kids in that class and in an afterschool club. I was labeled as annoying and a buck tooth beaver because I didn't have straight teeth. Boy did I hate that. When I played Super Smash Bros Brawl with them, I would get beaten by them or, according to one of my friends, they gained up on me, and I would get super upset about it. This affected my behavior and personality.

6th-9th grade was better. I met my best friend from school. I came here during that interval, and had a great time.

During 10th grade, I got depressed over messing up with talking to a girl, driving, and not getting my cross country goal. In the 11th grade, I got angry after getting injured during that cross country season. In 2015, I was filled with hopelessness because I wasn't getting the grades I used to get and I was having parent problems and whatnot. So I basically shut out my positive feelings. I was paranoid, on edge, and always hard on myself, which really showed when I played Smash 4 or in my artwork if I wanted to express myself. I moved on through 2016 with the same feelings...through graduation, working at Kroger and to the start of college. I started going to local Smash 4 tournaments. At first, I placed really well. I even beat one of our best players, PK Blueberry, in bracket and took a game off Esam on his Twitch stream. Then I started to do worse, and my negativity fueled right back into me. Then my depression got worse. I dropped college and work out of fear, and I destroyed my life. Now I'm working on recovering.


What are my views?: show
What are my views?

I base my views on others, what others say, and other opinions. I see people are more successful than I am, and I don't think I can be as good as they are in skill or status, and thus I try to do well like they do and view the world like them.
I view that we live on a planet and that there are other life forms out there. I believe in God, but I am still working on my faith. I believe that Christianity and Science can somehow go together. I'm not comfortable with Baptist faith of preaching the word to God. Rather, I'm more Methodist. I usually want to do what I see fit with my Christianity beliefs. I view that every person of every race and ethnicity are human and that everyone is unique in their own way. I view that somehow positivity will be the answer, but how will it work for me?
I've been told that I view things black and white, or I've said myself I seem to have a "Go Big or Go Home" mentality: if I can't figure something out right away or do something right away, I quit. It's either I'm good or I'm bad apparently. If someone says I'm good at drawing, my view is I'm good at drawing. If I'm told I'm not a good singer, then I view myself as a bad singer and give up on it.


What do I enjoy?: show
What do I enjoy?

I like to quote Spongebob. I can quote just about every part of each episode from the very first season of Spongebob to the first episode of the fourth season, "Fear of a Krabby Patty". I also like quoting JonTron. I enjoy watching Anime. My favorite ones are Naruto (well, the manga anyway), and Sword Art Online. I like to draw. Specifically I like drawing manga characters. Drawing also brings me a lot of comfort. I like playing video games. I have recently become very interested in the Fire Emblem series. I just got into watching competitive Super Smash Bros; it's fun to watch. I like playing Yu-Gi-Oh; my favorite deck is my Synchron deck. I enjoy running especially during the fall and spring. At times I like to go hiking or driving on the highway just go see the world or visit new places. I like to be around friends. I like to laugh with them and have a good time with them. They bring me comfort. I get frustrated when I don't do well, but at least I'm learning. I also like listening to 80s music and Ambient music. I also enjoy watching Disney movies from time to time especially my favorite ones like Hercules and The Emperor's New Groove. I like comedy. If I need to laugh, I'll listen to that. I also like Italian food. No, I LOVE it. So places like Olive Garden are my favorite restaurants.


What are my fears?: show
What are my fears?

I fear failure more than anything. I feel like I'm not worth anything to this world and/or I think I suck at whatever I'm doing if I fail. I feel like I'll be an outcast again like I felt in elementary school or in 5th grade. I fear not being accepted in society, which relates to me not wanting to be an outcast. As good as I am at drawing, I still try to get approval from people and see of they think my drawings are good. Otherwise, I don't assume I'm good and think I'm worthless. Or in Smash, I don't assume I'm good with a character until I beat my best friend's main character. I fear being a laughing stock. I HATE it. When I do something that people laugh at me for, it is embarrassing. It makes me feel more like an outsider. Sometimes this outcast thing doesn't matter since I do at times consider myself a social isolate or a "solo player" (yes, that's an SAO reference).

Other minor fears are getting close to bee's nests, hearing the sound of buzzing from bee's (NOT THE BEES), and heights.


What are my dreams?: show
What are my dreams?

I want to show the world with my Asperger's that I can do something just as remarkable as a normal person can do. I want to do my very best. I want to be kinda like Mew2King, one the best Super Smash Bros Melee players in the world.

I want to be a concept artist for game design. I like video games and drawing, and I think this would be the ideal career for me to choose.

That or I want to write or illustrate my own manga. I want it to make one about a character who is growing up with Asperger's or is dealing with depression.

If all else fails, I can try out Twitch streaming.[/center]

This is probably my first introduction to Runouw. ;P

Who am I?

My name is Watcharin. I was born in southern of Thailand in 2001 and now I'm 14 years old. I'm friendly, cheerful but sometimes I'm antisocial and not much talking to other people. My childhood is full of happiness, but sometimes it very painful. I had only one close friend, best friend. In grade 7, he going to study in another school and he doesn't talk with me frequently because he has his own friends. I love reading, especially comics and novels. I'm good in biography and geography. I hate math and physics, especially electricity and algebra. I'm quite clever. When my grade is lowered, I will be blamed by my parents frequently. That's reason why sometimes I'm antisocial and not much talking to other people. I playing computer and watching TV for relaxing.

- Sexuality/Gender: I'm male and I'm bisexual too. ;P
- Privacy: I'm very serious about my privacy and personal life, even with my friends.
- Life: I believe that the life must have rules and regulations.
- Politics: I have no idea lol.


What do I enjoy?

- A ton of books. Yes, reading.

What are my fears?

I fear of the dark, it's called "Nyctophobia". I'm very sure that I fear of the dark. And I also fear of ghosts and spirits. But the biggest problem of my fears is fear of loneliness. I don't want to lose my friends and family.


What do I value?

Privacy
Manners
Rules and regulations
Religion
Education


What are my hopes and dreams

A peaceful life, peaceful world.

TIL I'm not the only person who has this phobia. I can never remember what it's called either.

you already know who i am







For real though: show
    Who am I and what am I like?
Hey, I'm Mark Manuel. I'm a Filipino-American living in a sizeable town in New Jersey, USA, called Brick. Soon, I'll be moving to Paterson, NJ, right outside of New York City. I have no health problems in particular, no mental disorders, and no exciting or tragic near-death experiences to share. I used to be shy and tense up when people talked to me, but now I'm decently sociable and I get on good terms with most people I meet, though I have yet to make a professional connection face-to-face and talk about myself to get a job. If I had to describe a constant negative in my life, it would probably be my relationship with my mother. I think that it is unfair to expect love from a child when you worked the evening shift all his developing life and only saw him 30 minutes a weekday, and with those 30 minutes, having only said destructive things. I think it is unfair to expect a child to learn how the world works when for the first half of his life, you told him to stay inside.

Yeah.

... That said, I live life as it comes to me and I don't get overly anxious over things. If I miss something important, all I have to do is deal with the consequences later. My first priority is maintaining my own personal happiness.

    What are my views?
  • Religion: I'm agnostic, converted from Catholicism if you wanted to be literal. If you're religious, just accept that I no longer am. I don't care if you silently disapprove of me in your head. As long as we don't talk about religion, the righteousness of whoever, or why I'm going to heaven or hell, I think we can get along. If you're atheist, don't shove your lack of beliefs down other people's throats. It's a waste of energy, and for a lot of people ignorance is bliss. Religion has the purpose of instilling moral codes into people that might need them.

  • Sexuality/Gender: Now I've never had a relationship, but I'm pretty sure that I'm a boy with boy parts that likes girls with girl parts. I definitely think I have stereotypically effeminate traits, but that's honestly probably just my open-mindedness expanding my interests. If you're gay, just understand that I'm not and we're ay-okay.

  • Abortion: Pro-choice. I would say pro-life, with exceptions of rape or drug/alcohol influence, but sorting everything like that out seems unreliable on a large scale. I don't think I would want an irresponsible parent raising a child anyway, as much as I want people to deal with the problems they make for themselves.

  • Death Sentence: Reserve it for absolutely proven murderers, physical terrorists, and things of that nature.

  • Politics: Whatever I think we need most at the time. Independent. I suppose if you want a better answer, I could say socialist-democratic, but I don't know too much about what exactly constitutes every individual party, so I couldn't say why too in-depth.

  • Life: Personally, I want to be a name that resounds through the modern era and as far into the future as possible. Household entertainment and computer technology has only been around for so long, so we don't really know how memorable names like Walt Disney, Hayao Miyazaki, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Shigeru Miyamoto, etc will be in the next century even, but I hope to at least be included in that group and not be a niche name.
    For humanity in general, I think it is important to push civilization as far as we can. There are discoveries that need to be made. There are things out in the universe that need to be appreciated.


      How do I view the world?

    I'm a newly found optimist. I think that there is always a lesson for someone at the end of every tragedy. For the victim or for any bystanders or spectators, I believe there is something to be learned from every experience and that everything learned, no matter what, is or will lead to a positive development for at least someone. So if you asked me to change the past, I would refuse. (Though if it were reversible, I wouldn't mind satiating my curiosity for alternate timelines...)

      What do I enjoy?
  • Talking about myself (self-explanatory)

  • Anime: I was first introduced to this culture when I was around three years old. I snuck into my sisters' room while they were watching Sailor Moon. The emphasis on characters' heads and facial features immediately caught my attention, I think. Now I know that this was intentional due to the idea that the face is the most expressive part of the body. I know a few weeks after that, I tried drawing and coloring something inspired by it much to my dismay, but that's also how I started drawing. Afterwards, my early childhood was dominated by Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Yugioh, Pokemon, Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, and other toonami/adult swim shows. In grade school I dropped most of that to focus on schoolwork (for some reason) until I let a friend watch Higurashi no naku koro ni on my computer. I saw one of the goriest scenes straight up and a flame in my heart rekindled. A fitting progression of tastes if I do say so myself: exciting shonen to edgy horror/mystery to lazing slice of life/comedy, and now I think I like everything.

  • Videogames: My first game was Super Mario Bros: Deluxe for the Gameboy Color. My uncle bought it along with the system for my fourth birthday and I got a knack for level designing there. Of course, I didn't know how to actually program, but that started a map-laying, finger-platforming imagination. I don't know how many other kids did this, but every time we went shopping (groceries or hardware), I would take my index and middle finger and have the pair of 'legs' go on an adventure.

    A few months later, I convinced my mom to buy me a Playstation 1 bundled with Spyro 2 and Crash Bash, and that only made my mind more active. My sisters got RPGs like Lunar, Chrono Cross, and of course, the Final Fantasies. Imagine the ideas I had in my head then. They had a friend that we visited after every Sunday mass as well, and he had more PS1 games that he would lend us (The Crash series, some puzzle games, and a few fighting games), he had a N64 with Mario Power Tennis and the Pokemon Stadiums, but most importantly, he had a Gamecube (the same one I still have) with Super Smash Bros Melee. The rest is history.

  • Fine Arts (medium: mostly pencil, sometimes acryllic/oil paint, and of course digital)
    I'll set the scenes: It's a Friday. Friday is 1st grade art class. Today's project is Halloween related. Using yellow and white pastels on a plain, black sheet of construction paper, color the outside of a haunted house. The bell is about to ring and Mark Manuel is handing in his piece. All eyes move to him.

    It's late in my third school year and the teacher has some sort of certificate in her hand. The class was told about an endangered species art competition a few weeks ago. I covered the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake. Third place in the state.

    I'm a freshman in high school, and I decided to take my required arts class now instead of later despite band counting as arts anyway. There's a quiet girl who is also in band, and she's kinda pretty. I may or may not have a crush on her. Right now, I feel similar to how I did in 1st grade, but now eyes are shifting between her work and mine. Apparently I'm the only one that's interested in the girl herself?

    How time flies... I'm a senior, moved down from AP Art to Honors for incomplete summer work. I'm the only honors kid in here, and I'm sharing a table with my AP peers. I like what they do, but It still seems like the teacher prefers me, despite the credit difference. My portfolio is ultimately smaller than my peers because Honors is half as long, but apparently one of my pieces was awarded excellence over my friends' at a state art show.

    ...Now here I am, studying graphic design in a business college. I'm hearing a lot of things that I thought were givens for people going for this major, but hopefully I'll be challenged once I get passed this... elementary(?) class.

  • Performing Arts
    My parents made me practice piano at the age of four, but I dropped it after maybe a year because apparently school was enough to fill my day. Being able to read sheet music gave me an edge over the rest of the class I suppose, once concert band was available to us. Throughout middle school, I was the pinnacle of character and could play well to boot. Entering high school, I switched off of trumpet and into mellophone for marching band and french horn for wind ensemble. Those years, I took a backseat as a quiet harmonic voice and grew accustomed to it. I wish more of us practiced, but hey, consistent top-placings at competitions is no small feat. Besides performing the arts, my instructors were the good kind that explained concepts clearly to you. Whenever the subject comes up in chat, I try to talk about it similarly. Ultimately, MK is probably the goto.

  • Music in general (genre doesn't matter, I just have to like the sound) ^ayy lmao^
    I usually can't have music in the background while I multitask. It's all too beautiful or thought-invoking to not dissect.

  • Sightseeing (Please don't take pictures in front of signs, take them at more dynamic or memorable spots)


      What I value:
  • Happiness:
  • Appreciation
  • Open-mindedness
  • Confidence
  • Preparation

      Hopes and dreams:

I'd like to own an animation studio of my own brand and be able to have a hand in the art-related divisions. Yes, I'm still holding onto a four year-old dream rooted here. Thanks guys, from the bottom of my heart. Hopefully I can learn actual music theory and complete my circle of arts.

If that doesn't work out, it will work out. Peace.
