1) I'm double gay (I'm trans AND gay so-- ) but I really miss my boyfriend because I lost my car and the quarantine isn't helpin. :(

2) I was in a Jade Harley (Homestuck) cosplay, while she was like... I THINK she was one thirds dog? Anyways- I was at a convention and down here in South Carolina we have a lot of ghost stories. Not hard to say that there was a group of Ghostbuster people there who kept trying to get me to take chocolate, while I was trying to stay in character because. Y'know, dog. The chocolate was good, though...

3) I've almost always had stomach issues, usually flaring up after I've eaten or when I'm stressed. I've gone to the hospital to get a gut scan about it, and when they went to squeeze my gallbladder I saw white hot pain. Felt like I was dying. Long story short, they decided 'something's weird' and decided to go and remove it.

I still have the scars from the surgery, the one I woke up from with the doctor saying they couldn't find the gallbladder.

Turns out I was born without one.

4) I've actually gone by Amber for a long time! I only really let two people call me it anymore- otherwise, I go by Aden, which begins with the same letter and has as many letters as my legal name. What can I say? I like names that start with A. Also- when I came out to my mom via letter, all she had to say was 'that's not how you spell Aden'.

5) My best friend growing up thought she was a vampire and that she could control the weather. I wish I had that confidence.

1. I'm sometimes gay. One of my friends make the joke of "ok so you're straight on monday and gay on tuesday" like ok no just sometimes I'm leaning more towards lesbian and other times more towards not lesbian. It's confusing, I'm confusing, so when people ask me my sexuality I just shrug and go "I dunno."

2. I don't pick favorites because how could you expect me to pick my favorite color between maroon and a nice blue? I like them for different reasons. Same thing with movies/music/tv/etc. If I tell you my favorite anything, it will change the next day or week or something. Guaranteed.

3. Time for me to brag about my sister because she's such a high achiever and so incredibly successful I sometimes can't believe it. She's been playing piano since she was a kid and won so many awards growing up I was always kind of in her shadow. (I, myself, broke away from piano in middle school because I was sick of always being compared to her. Took up percussion instead.) She was kind of the go-to pianist for a lot of programs when she was in high school and would constantly be practicing (it actually got really annoying.) She went to Oberlin conservatory when she graduated on a pretty lucrative scholarship and majored in piano performance for a year and minored in organ before switching her major to organ because she completely fell in love with it. She got a lot of jobs at churches and stuff because who the hell plays organ. She graduated a year early and, after going on a solo trip through Europe, met an organ professor in France and decided to study with him at his school. So, yeah. She moved to France to study organ and has been living there for a couple of years. She just recently got the Fulbright scholarship (one of only 50 people in the US) to study at a prestigious school in Germany next year.

Meanwhile I'm on year 3, going on 4, at community college. We're very different people.

4. Speaking of community college, I'm going there bc I didn't know what I wanted to do and changed my major literally every semester. It went from Zoology to Culinary Arts to Film to Graphic Design to Graphic Arts and now I'm on Motion Graphics. Hopefully that doesn't change anymore lmao.

5. I've had the same best friend for almost 20 years (I'm 21). We grew up in the same neighborhood and spent most of our time together as kids. She has a twin sister, but we're not as close anymore. We're planning on getting tattoos that say Bitch #1 and Bitch #2. Angela is named after her and parts of her personality (specifically the geeking out part) come from her.

1. I love y'all~
2. I was also adopted by my grandparents
3. At the moment my favorite painting is this
4. My next two RCS ideas are a Thylacine named Endling and a see-through borzoi
5. If I was born a day later I'd only be 5

1. I'm Non-binary and probably not straight. Still trying to figure it all out, really.
2. My favorite colors are Orange, Red, and Green. I especially love darker shades.
3. I have two cats (Midnight and Luna) and a crested gecko named Crash.
4. My favorite animal is a dragon, I've been obsessed with them my entire life. I also love moths/butterflies and praying mantises (any bug, really)
5. I have Coats' disease. Its basically an eye disorder that almost always effects only one eye (it effects my left) and eventually causes blindness, but I got it treated before it could do any real damage, and my vision is fine when both my eyes are open. I do see a bunch of foggy spots when I close my right eye, though.

1. I practice witchcraft, mostly divination and spirit work, but I consider myself eclectic and I am officially apart of coven. We haven't been able to get together cuz of covid-19 but I look forward to the experience when we do. Oh, and of course, im a sucker for the occult! Always have, always will. If its hidden and deemed forbidden you bet I'd be interested in learning about it! (I'd be the first person to die or go mad in lovecraftian horror lol)

2. I have recently come to the conclusion that I am a lesbian woo! LET'S GO LESBIANS!

3. My soul actually hurts when people hate on spiders and kill them, same with snakes. In witchcraft, they are quite sacred to me. Oops just spilled the beans for the inspiration behind Thothaga. I try to be sympathetic of the phobias they cause, but I still think its tragic that it's so common. (I once knew a girl who'd flip out if she saw or heard the word "spider") Then again, I was never really bothered by creepy crawlies, or things most people find creepy. In fact, the esoteric creep-factor is my aesthetic! ..But no matter what, screaming chimps will always be the devil incarnate.

4. My attention span and time blindness are my own worst enemy. The number of things of I've started then dropped or forgotten just because my brain pick up a new interest is astronomical. Sometimes years feel like months and months feel like years, I cant tell. Time is an illusion, we live in a society

5. PURPLE. FRIGGIN. RULES!! Purple has been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. I love it in all shades. Then after purple comes black, my family's least favorite color. XD

Five Fun Things!


1) I should live in a bubble! Like... I'm only half joking. I have horrible Spring and Fall allergies, have everything induced asthma, am allergic to nature- except grass!

2) I would make a great on-the-fly secret agent- except for the fact that I don't know how to use a gun.

3) I am super obsessed with nature, space, and everything to do with the natural world- and so I'm going in to Ecology!

4) I can sword fight, and have tons of useless info that makes me great to take to a museum.

5) I'm a sucker for Van Gogh and impressionist painters because I love to see other peoples impressions of reality- but I'm also just an art hoe so play any music or movie, show or start talking about any kind of hobby I am so in to that conversation...

1) it's past my bedtime someone send help
2) my sign is actually on a cusp, sources argue over whether I am a libra or a Scorpio but I identify as Scorpio most often (for whatever reason board games are INSISTENT that I'm a libra tho)
3) my online handle, pokeapache, was made by my father when I was like 7 so I could have an all account. It's Pokemon and the name of my late lab mix rescue dog I had growing up as a kid, who was named Apache
4) the wolverines scientific name is gulo gulo. It's a lot easier to get references/stock photos by searching gulo gulp than wolverine due to the xman man by the same name. I learned this when I was a kid bc I had an elven ranger that was reincarnated as a wolverine. He was bad ass
5) my favorite books are all written by Brandon Sanderson and I thirst for the next stormlight archive book

2. i am graduating college in approximately one week with a major in professional writing and a minor in psychology
