tl;dr, strange music-loving 20-something living in the unceded land of the timucua, with a big interest in Borinquen's independence n' a desire to do a bunch of shit.

not tl;dr, i was born 5000 years ago on the beautiful island of Borinquen. from the very beginning, Eris had blessed me with funny traits- neuroticism, paranoia, and eccentricity being the main 3. didn't have a lot of friends as a kid because of this, but Eris made up for this by giving me friends and weed later on in life. i had my hobbies as entertainment anyway.

art was my main hobby when i was younger and still kind of is. some early inspirations for me were BaniTheKitty, LupisVulpes, comababeyy's VERY early work, and just about any furry pixel artist i could find on deviantArt. my current inspirations are very different now, but i owe a lot to the artists that made me interested in making art myself in the first place. for that, i am eternally grateful! especially since this was my introduction to furries.

to say the furry fandom's effect on me was significant is a massive understatement. i even have a (WIP) shrine dedicated to the fandom! funnily enough, it wasn't the social aspect of furries that changed me. (sorta.) furry art always made a certain emotion reside within me when i simply looked at it. it felt like a sense of belonging and level of comfort that i have not previously experienced. like i said, i didn't have a lot of friends as a kid.

the idea of representing myself as an animal was novel to my young self. i felt very disconnected from everybody around me, and i still do. but being able to imagine myself as a funny animal has been strangely empowering. from centaurs to anthropomorphic animals just existing in a space, it gave me a strong sense of euphoria that i have not been able to shake off since. besides that, i absolutely loved furries for their art, so it was hard to resist those funny animals.

music has been just as impactful on me as the furry fandom, if not more!
