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.

my main blog is a finely curated blend of aesthetic, fandom, personal, and miscellaneous textposts. i consider it to be a museum of myself! however, when it comes to more stream-of-consciousness posting, i'm much more active on my mutuals-only blog, which is more akin to the curator's nonsensical, miscellaneous notes taken on the clock. friends can ask for the url.

my way of speaking and posting can vary greatly due to my dubious dissociative disorder and disjointed sense of identity. please be gentle with me; don't pay it too much mind!

• art + art history
  • 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 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.
• fashion
  • i wouldn't say i'm a jfashion gal (yet!) ...

most of this isn't serious, however due to how personal some of my connections with these characters are i can get a touch territorial. i'm normal for the most part, though.

• aubrey, omori (we share a birthday!)

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.

my media interests fluctuate in intensity but haikyuu will forever be important to me ♡

i also like persona 5, pokémon (games + vgc), project sekai, blue period, undertale+deltarune, 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.
