-Hi! I'm Umbramatic, Umbra for short. Autistic, bisexual, genderfluid/bigender, gray-aro, she/her/he/him pronouns

-I'm a writer (fanfic mostly, original fiction in progress), RPer (TTRPG and play-by-post), and artist (fanart, OCs, character design) just trying to get by.

-I love fantasy, sci-fi, animation, and videogames and thus am EXTREMELY multifandom; in pretty much every fandom that tickles my fancy, including some "problematic/cringe" garbage fires, biggest one is Pokemon, which is the love of my life. Fire Emblem and Super Smash Bros are Up There.

-Also pretty interested in animals, including prehistoric ones

-I have a doggo. I will post pictures of her a lot.

-I am pretty extroverted about group chats I feel relatively safe in but much more introverted and shy about DMs- I have been burnt pretty badly before and I need to make sure my mental healrth isn't at risk.That said I love meeting new people making new friends, and talkingf about things I like with people I know can be chill.

-I tend to lean pretty lefist in anything political I say, that said I try not to bring politics up unless I have a good reason

-I have mental health issues that make certain conversation topics (mostly people shitting on things I like or often relatedly talking about things I have major trauma about) extremely physically and mentally uncomfortable, so if I have to duck out of a conversation that's a likely reason why. (That or I'm distracted or trying NOT to be distracted)

-I keysmash a lot. It's my expression of an emotion best described as "psychic damage"

-I love my OCs. All twelve billion of them. If you talk with me about my OCs I will instantly love you.

-Some of those OCs are my sonas which are my "avatars" that are how I express and present myself over the Internet. I'm happy to explain any of them, just like the other OCs

-I also write and draw a lot in general as mentioned earlier and enjoy showing that off. Please look at my work, it makes me happy.

--Please note I do not take concrit on my art unless I am asking for it, and even then only on the exact specific thing I am asking about. Concrit on my writing I am more open to unless otherwise noted, as long as you aren't excessively bashing it. When in doubt for both just say nice things if you're so inclined.

-If I do not reply to your DMs, I am usually distracted, tired, or occupied with something IRL. It's not because I hate you or am mad at you.

-Similarly -If I disappear from a server or channel for a while (without actually leaving it or putting it in my server deadpool) it's because I am distracted, need a break, or something is going on IRL

-I don't block people that often for reasons but if I did block you it's probably because:

--You are some manner of bigot/abuser/etc.

--You are egregiously prone to spouting takes I don't like

--You have severely emotionally wounded me somehow

--You were an asshole to someone I care about

--You blocked me first

--You are continually passive aggressive to me/treat me as lesser//give me the ice treatment/etc.

--I just don't like seeing your messages

--Some other reason

--Some combination of any or all of these

---I am not obligated to specify which; if I want to work things out I 'll reach out
