Hello!!!
Let's get the basics down first - I'm Madison, pronouns she/her, Canadian.
This is a living document! It may change over time.
I love obsessing over characters, and spend most of my free time drawing. I'm mainly present in the Tally Hall and In Stars and Time fandoms,
though you will occasionally find me reblogging Deltarune posts. I'm also terrible at most video games - I stick to precision platformers (Celeste, Syobon Action, Half-Life mods) and RPGs for the most part, and I have a very good record for
Jacob The Farmer Any% (around three hours, I wasn't timing.) I love writing but struggle to create original, compelling characters.
I am also transfem in-the-closet, and figuring things out.
In Stars and Time was a very impactful game for me - it helped me understand just how much my self-deprecation was hurting me. As with all issues, it's something I'm working on. This Tumblr post really inspired me to be proud of myself:
I have a white belt in Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido - a martial art based on guiding the mind and body of others instead of using force. The whole idea is that you should be able to relax and stay calm throughout every movement. As someone who's spent a lot of time masking (undiagnosed, but autistic or not I've spent most of my life hiding myself,) it's very hard for me to really relax my mind and my body. Mental discipline is a tough thing to learn, but I've decided that it's important to me and my personal growth.
I really appreciate having something to keep my hands busy. As a 'gifted kid,' I've always been ashamed to use fidget-toys - because that's what the 'stupid kids' used. Learning to accomodate myself instead of adopting more harmful stimulus (nail-biting, eyelash-plucking, tongue-chewing) has been a big, unexpected weight off my shoulders.
Hobbies include digital art, sketching, crafts, guitar, singing, and repairing/breaking old computers.
I have a lot more to write, but I think I'll save it for another day. You can contact me on Tumblr, or through Discord at @the.oreganoid.
Addendum - links, etc.
Amazing in-development indie RPG Goethe's Last Laugh,
which I have done some modeling for (namely plants, furniture, and audio equipment)
