i guess i'll post in this silly lil thread, cuz i feel like it and i've been pretty active lately
hi i'm rachel, and i'm a 27-year-old trans girl. i'm originally from missouri, but i ended up in colorado because i got tired of racism and tornadoes and now all my friends make fun of my
pin/pen merger accent
i am in a relationship with a wonderful girl who i live with and love very much. i also have three roommates and one (dumbass) cat
my dreams kind of are to make cool things: weird hobbyist web design-y web pages & video games & music, but instead my dreams are probably being shelved rn so i can make pizza or sandwiches for a living so some rich guy can make money off me
for a long time i was very deeply involved with a Zelda fangame engine called Zelda Classic, and you can find the dumb stuff i made
here. i kinda stopped being involved at some point, partly because fangames stopped being interesting to me. i don't really show people a lot of the weird half-finished web design or programming things i've made, and i am honestly
horribly embarrassed about showing anyone my music.
my most recent main hobby was speedrunning (my main game was A Link to the Past in which i had a 1:29, with the occasional Super Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, Link's Awakening DX, and Super Mario 64 on the side), but i kind of have moved past that owing to me not really getting along with the community at large, along with just getting kind of tired of the hobby itself.
rn i think my biggest hobby is pretending to be a cartoon witch girl on the internet
here's a list of silly things i really like/am passionate about:
- video games (old and new, but especially old)
- lots of weird music (that i'm generally embarrassed to talk about because it's too weird for half the people i meet and not hip enough for the other half)
- old computer stuff (old OSes especially, but i'd like to get into hardware too at some point)
- the pre-social media internet (1990-2008 or so), i'm also really into weird experimental web design/"artsy" web pages
- anime on occasion (but i'm bad about actually finishing it)
- anything aesthetically weird/cute/cool or otherwise happens to catch my interest
feel free to follow me on social media:
Twitter and
Mastodon. i'll almost certainly allow anyone from here to follow me on Twitter + follow anyone from here who follows me back
anyway hi that's my dumb ass
(also Cryptovexillologist and postvespertine i really like both of your names i think they're cool)
