"So all they see of me is a façade ... ‘Well, we never expected this!’ they all say. ‘No one liked her. They all said she was pretentious, awkward, difficult to approach, prickly, too fond of her tales, haughty, prone to versifying, disdainful, cantankerous and scornful; but when you meet her, she is strangely meek, a completely different person altogether!’" -- Murasaki Shikibu

It's me. Hi. I'm the problem; it's me.

Very basically, I'm a socially awkward little bunny who has a much better relationship with anything fictional than I ever do with reality. I dress like a witch, swear like a sailor, and have cried more than once over a white cartoon puppy's backstory. I'm supposed to be a Japanese/Korean double major at my adored uni, but in early 2020 my nerves started demylineating (while the rest of the world was busy contracting the spicy cough, I'm just so Not Like Other Girls that way), so that's been cancelled wholly as of 2023. I'm trying to stave off the misery of that fact by making pretty but largely useless websites. You do what you can, y'know?

Social Networking

Aahhh, the scourge of the creative internet and enabler of the worst of humanity. Social networking. Don't we love it? (No.) I'm trying to use it less and less, mostly because lately there's nothing that vibes with me (Instagram is hideous and TikTok makes me despair for humanity) but there are some things I still mess with.

• bluesky/wings.nu - I can use my domain name as my username! Wicked cool.
• cosmos/wokashi - it's like Pintere$t, but you can actually use this one without seeing an ad every third image! (tell a lie, it's so much more than that; the UI is so nice.)

Contact

Direct contact, for those who are very brave. Or bored. Or both?

• evenstar @ gmail - the ever classic email. Please be aware I have a very zealous spam trap which fills up super quickly (serves me right for having such a basic username, I guess?), so if I seem to have ignored your email, it's more than likely it's lost somewhere in the spam folder.
• elmendea on Discord I might take a while to reply, depending on when I get a message (apparently I have to sleep? Sounds fishy to me...) and/or if I'm on mobile or not -- I don't have Discord on my phone, only my laptop. But I'll get around to answering, I promise!
