heya. name’s SHRIKE. self-proclaimed MAGE of MIND (which hasn’t changed since i read hs and figured it out, so i’m pretty sure about it) (though i still haven’t figured out dream sway). artist and writer who rarely writes and barely draws. got into homestuck a few years back and got attached. here for the hell of it.

i’m a fandom-hopper, in that every fandom i’ve ever been in (mainly videogames) is put on a rotating shelf for me to pick back up and go insane about again when the timing is right. currently? main hyperfixation is deltarune (specifically kris & that little green freak of a pippins (iykyk)), but i’m still somewhat insane about in stars and time (hopefully evident by the artstyle of my avatar) if you know it & are interested.

music’s also a pretty important thing for me, in that my several-years-old everything-that-i-like playlist contains more than 700 songs at current and that i never go a day without listening to music. in terms of music taste: pretty messy and all-over-the-place, though it can be best summarized by ‘i-can-imagine-The-Character-to-this’. right now just discovered and getting into azali’s stuff, though i also love the crane wives to death and have been a vocaloid & j-pop fan since forever. again, all over the place.

also got my own somewhat-realized-largely-conceptual fansession i’ve named ERROR: 501/410 (or just e:5/4 (‘e’ five-fourths) for short), which hold my beloved ocs HAZE & APTISI (the latter of whom is the character in my avatar (though specifically a version of them in an isat crossover)). they are the subjects of my innate desire for crossovers & oc-inserts, by which i mean the ‘alternate’ ending of the fansession i have planned makes it easy and seamless to transition to and connect it with the worlds of my current interests. (apologies if that didn’t make sense, just don’t feel like explaining the entirety of my fansession’s later half of lore for the purpose of readability.)

and yes this is probably waaay too long, and i know i’ve used who knows how many parentheses asides in this one message. it’s not even an intentional typing quirk; it just happens as i type out my thoughts (given the ability to edit them as i go). i’d genuinely adopt galekh’s typing quirk (iydk, friendsim troll whose main typing quirk is extra info contained in footnotes, searching it up'll make it make sense) if i had the patience to do that after typing multiple paragraphs like this (which i don’t in general). sorry for how long this is. or maybe not.

nice to meet you!
