i'm ayaka 🎠 known by most as aya for short, though i'll respond to anything endearing. she/he, seventeen, filipina & japanese femme lesbian.

i block freely and am selective with whom i allow to follow me, and even more so with those i follow back. that being said, if we are mutuals, feel free to chat with me whenever! i love making friends.

i'm a deadbeat kpop fan, only occasionally keeping up with some girl groups. i like some jpop+rock, too: particularly wasuta, f5ve, and shishamo. my favorite classical composers are ravel, rachmaninoff, and shostakovich.

• art + art history/philosophy
  • john singer sargent is my favorite painter, but i love literally everything art historical & i mean it.
    • aside from sargent, i have an affinity for his contemporaries, as well as postmodern conceptual artists such as duchamp, gonzalez-torres, abramović, burden, kosuth, etc.
  • i intend to pursue curation in the future.
• poetry
  • li-young lee, mary oliver, ada limón, ocean vuong, leila chatti, richard siken, chen chen, among others. i write some of my own as well.
• literature

my media interests fluctuate in intensity but haikyuu will forever be important to me 💌 it's my favorite animanga!

i also like persona 5, pokémon (games + vgc), project sekai, blue period, undertale+deltarune, most ghibli films, some manga, among other things. i forget.

favorite characters: kozume kenma and akechi goro are the boy-kings ruling my heart. i also love tsukishima kei, kitagawa yusuke, komaeda nagito, momoi airi, takahashi yotasuke, and really the entire haikyuu cast.

i graduated from fujoshi university with a dual degree in kuroken and akeshu, having minored in tsukkiyama.
