Your other online venues: I main tumblr, in terms of social media! I also have a website and an AO3.
Your approximate location (e.g. city, state, country, and/or bioregion): The deep South of the USA
Any other important personal details you want to share: I'm autistic and otherwise disabled, so please be patient with me!
What languages do you speak? Just English!
What are some of your favorite hobbies? Writing, drawing, editing, and coding!
What television shows and movies do you like? TV show fandoms I’m into include LEGO Monkie Kid and Dungeon Meshi! I’m also more passively interested in Good Omens, Luca (2017), Fionna & Cake, I’m In Love with the Villainess, and more. I will say, generally, I’m more of a gaming sorta guygal!
What kinds of music do you enjoy? Listening, playing, or both? I love to listen to music! I’m very into Vocaloid at the moment. In terms of genre, I prefer pop, pop-rock, and alternative! I don’t play music, unfortunately, but I’m currently in the process of commissioning a group of Vocaloid producers to make a particular song!
Do you have a transformative works statement / blanket statement? Mine is here!
What are some worthy causes you support? Queer and trans issues, disability-related issues (autism in particular), the indie web movement and general anti-capitalism!
Do you have pets or livestock, and if so, what kinds? Do you watch wildlife? I have a dog named Sammy! He's my retired service dog, and my sweet little angel.

What is your Dreamwidth blog like? I'm still getting set up, but, if it's to be anything like my other blogs (which I imagine it will be)… it's like being in a library with a whole bunch of books! Except the book you pull off the shelf could be anything from an extensively-researched essay, to an analysis piece, to the handwritten diary of a geek who talks a lot.
What is your blog metaphor? I like to think of my Dreamwidth blog as a comfy, cozy bedroom! People sit around and talk, chatting about whatever comes to mind. It also features the occasional PowerPoint presentation by yours truly.
What are your most common topics? Posts showing off icons I've made, and topics regarding alterhumanity! However, I haven't yet uploaded my fanfiction or analysis pieces here, so I imagine that'll change soon.
Is your blog more text-heavy or image-heavy? Likely text-heavy, though I do occasionally upload icons I've made! I may also upload my art here, but I don't know yet, because I dunno if there's an art-posting scene.
Do you use recurring posts, and if so, what topics? I like to answer the fictionkind community's prompts, if that counts!
Is it all open, all friendslocked, or somewhere in between? Everything is open!
What kinds of friends would you like to attract to your blog? Fellow queer fandom-type folks!
Do you participate in creative bingo, fests, challenges, memes, holiday festivities, or other blogging events? If so, what are some of your favorite ones? I do them when I find them, and I have the time! I'm planning on writing something or other for drabbleonficathon!
What are your policies on friending and granting access, if any? No policies on granting access, given that everything is open! No specific policies on friending. If what you post is of interest me, I'll friend you! I don’t really use it as a means of social affection.

How often do you check your friends feed? As-of now, around 1-4 times a day!
About how much time do you spend reading blogs? A lot! I love reading people's blogs. It helps me feel connected to others! Although the specific numbers depends on the day.
What kinds of blogs or topics do you most enjoy reading? I like things regarding art, writing, fandom, queerness and disability!

That's nice that you like to draw and write! What do you like to draw and write about?

[bedes]

I mostly write fanfic and make fanart! But I also write essays, analysis pieces, and general character art!

[a_natural_beauty]

Oh that's nice! :)
I wish you the best of luck with your creativity!

Hello!

[ysabetwordsmith]

>> I'm autistic and otherwise disabled, so please be patient with me!<<

I have lots of neurospicy folks in my audience. You might also like neurodiversetea, thatautisticadhdfeel, or gimpy.

>>Queer and trans issues, disability-related issues (autism in particular), the indie web movement and general anti-capitalism!<<

Go you!

>>I may also upload my art here, but I don't know yet, because I dunno if there's an art-posting scene.<<

Yes, there is. Lots of people post personal art to their own blogs. Communities include communal_creators, crafty, drawesome, and journalsandplanners.

>>I like to answer the fictionkind community's prompts, if that counts!<<

It counts.

>>I like things regarding art, writing, fandom, queerness and disability!<<

I post a good deal about those. You might like the lists of my QUILTBAG characters and characters with disabilities.

>>If there are any strawberries left<<

*sigh* Not in central Illinois, and we've got two packages of almond poundcake mix that we wanted to use for strawberry shortbread. We did that earlier this summer and it was epic.

Re: Hello!

[bedes]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for all the community recs! Here's hoping you can make that strawberry shortbread sometime soon hehe

>>Oh my goodness, thank you so much for all the community recs! <<

*bow, flourish* Happy to be of service.

Another good place to look is followfriday for topical lists of active comms.

>>Here's hoping you can make that strawberry shortbread sometime soon hehe <<

I hope so. If not, I can always macerate some frozen ones.

It's awesome that you're watching Nurse Angel Ririka SOS. You don't see that often, so I had to comment.

Re: Ririka Spotted

[bedes]

Yes!! I'm currently watching it with my friends, who are big fans, and wanted to show it to me. I really like it so far! It's super fun ^.^

[prttyodd]

fellow anti-capitialist, i like to see it! i also love to see fellow vocaloid fans, and the fact you're commissioning a song is really cool, i'd love to see (or rather hear) how it comes out! i'd be interested to know what particular musical acts you enjoy, as music is my special interest and the #1 thing i like to bond with people about.

>>fellow anti-capitialist<<

<a href='https://ysabetwordsmith.dreamwidth.org/14557351.html">Some resources on anti-capitalism</a>.

[bedes]

Unsure if you mean producers or characters, so I’ll answer with both!

I, of course, like Miku, but I also really love the Kagamine twins. Teto and Gumi probably have my favorite voices!

As for producers, I’m a big fan of PinocchioP’s works, as well as RIProducer! I’m in a unique position of really liking DECO*27’s songs, but not really liking how he tunes, heheh.

[prttyodd]

eeee, i love gumi and teto!! gumi has been up in my fav characters for years. i really like DECO*27's work personally, and i love wowaka, kikuo and livetune :) i grew up on vocaloid, so i'm more in-tune to older releases.

[bedes]

Same wrt growing up with it!! I still keep up with it decently actively, but I definitely have a soft spot for a lot of oldies, hehe
