- my name is tawa or ren! my birthname is diana. no one uses diana except people i permit - so do use tawa or ren. you can use nicknames as well. please feel free to call me wataru too! it makes me happy.
- i'm latinx/asian! puerto rican / vietnamese / japanese. little history bits are: spaniard, french, black, and taino but i don't identify as those, i just like talking about those sometimes from a historical perspective, i'll never talk about sj issues as if i am them. however, i was raised with my black family growing up (when hopping houses) so i tend to use aave by upbringing default. i grew up in the city! new york!!
- i speak spanish, english, japanese, and vietnamese. japanese and vietnamese i'm still continuing to learn and i have problems with english so if i mess up or use a different language suddenly, i'm sorry! i'm going to learn korean after.
- my parents split. i make "my father left me" jokes to cope. let me know if it ever makes you uncomfortable. i use dark humour in general to cope, to a light degree, but aside from the father jokes most of it stays on my locked accounts!
- im agender, dfab, and i use they/them or he/him. do not use she/her or it pronouns please. a wide range of terms can be used for me (wife, husband, brother, mother, etc) but if you're ever unsure, default to male or gender neutral!
- because of my issues with language, i cannot use pronouns like xe/xir without constant correction, so i'll just repeat your name or use they/them!
- im grayromantic (attracted to all genders, pref for women and nb) and graysexual! extremely sex-repulsed irl due to trauma but working on it. fiction is okay but not always. pictures of dicks make me sick.
- i have processing and communication issues so if i ever say something weird, please ask me and don't, like, shout at me? not that you can't be upset or strict, but i don't respond well to full force aggression. when i'm yelled at, it only gets worse and i shut down. i mess up my wording a lot and it's something i'm working on.
- i also have a habit of getting really intense, but i'm always up to change how i think and i don't realize when i'm getting intense until later on, so i'm sorry, just talk to me! i'm really not as scary as i tend to come off as. if you're condescending and self-absorbed about it, though, i'm 100 times less likely to hear you out.
- that being said, i also get worked up easily. its embarrassing and i hate it.
- obviously, i'm mentally ill and physically ill. you can ask for specifics, but the biggest issues will be my SZPD and DID. all my disorders are professionally diagnosed. dont worry about my heart attack tweets i am used to it i'll be fine.
- i'm agnostic theist! i believe all gods of all religions exist. however, i specifically practice the starseeds belief myself.
- kin stuff is a-ok to me unless you're the type to attack people over it like you being "the only one" - i also feel uncomfortable with nonasians kin/id'ing with asian characters due to a lot of people claiming that "makes them asian" or undermining how culture DOES influence character. but that's it, i won't get like... on your case about it, though! it's a coping mech and has always existed, i just don't like when people get racist about it.
- actually, for that matter, if you're pushy about anything i'll get uncomfortable - be it headcanons or whatever.
- i am an incest child sexual abuse survivor and abuse survivor in general. i beg of you to tag csa and incest - i get sent into episodes easily just seeing the words suddenly.
