Alright, let's do this one last time. Hi, my name is Mia. I was NOT bitten by a radioactive spider and for the past 27 years I have NOT been masquerading around my local city as a spider themed superhero, as cool as that would be. Totally ok if you don't know the rest, so let me go ahead and fill you in.

Also, hope you don't mind a bit of a long post! I tried my best to hopefully make it interesting throughout

I'm here in the hopes of finding a long term partner/best friend for a monogamous, romantic relationship. Figured I try here again a couple times before begrudgingly selling my soul to dating apps once again.

First things first, I'm a trans woman and have been on HRT for 5 years now. Queer in sexuality, meaning I'm pretty much attracted to anyone regardless of gender identity but I do lean pretty heavily towards women.

In terms of appearance, I am black (lighter skin) and I stand at 6'2 with about 200 pounds to my name along with an average/pudgy body type, I guess? Pretty much, HRT has blessed me with fat redistribution in my tummy, hips and thighs. Gender euphoria is at an all time high! I'm not really butch or femme, I'm just me(a). I guess I'm fairly androgynous in appearance most of the time but I do have my fem moments here and there. I've restarted growing my hair out again as of a year ago and do have a deeper voice.

I'm pretty confident, for the most part, in my appearance as simple as it may be.

One important aspect you should know is that I'm AuDHD with confirmed ADHD and highly suspected autism. I'm also no stranger to depression and anxiety which is the most in control it's ever been if I'm being honest, I'm medicated and in a good place in life right now. I am afflicted with a chronic illness that is, thankfully, currently in remission and under control. The trade off of that remission is that I'm immunocompromised. I'm very conscious about my health and still wear a mask in public.

As for what I'm like as a person, I'm very much an introvert along with usual introvert qualities of being shy and quiet. Bit of a homebody as well, although I certainly don't mind going out on an adventure every now and then! I'm also a pretty patient and chill person, able to just go with whatever flow a situation gives me. I prefer to to approach most problems from all different angles before passing any sort of judgement. Even then, I allow myself and others space to grow off of that initial judgement.

Having dealt with ADHD and autism my whole life, you don't have to be "perfect" or even get everything right the first, second or tenth time. Just do the best you can do in any given situation. At the end of the day, I really admire the effort you put in and the lengths you've come!

In terms of education and a career, I've completed most of college and attempted to major in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies. Due to burnout as a student, I never actually finished that degree and will eventually, maybe, possibly finish it when school doesnt stress me out. Instead, I've taken up the family tradition of working in education, literally everyone in my immediate family is either a educator of some sort or is working towards that goal. So, for the past 2 years, I've been working as a special ed. 1-on-1 assistant with a wonderful student which has been very fulfilling!

Although, I took a break from summer school with them to try and work on obtaining a driver's license.

In terms of general interests, I have a...few, as you can see, ha ha

Videogames are a huge interest of mine. My main devices are Ps5 and PC, for the most part although, I do have a Switch. I love action RPGs, classic FPS', rougelikes and survival horror. I rotate through a plethora of titles but always come back to Sonic games, Elden Ring (and the rest of the Souls series, especially Bloodborne), Cyberpunk 2077, Fallout series (mainly 1, 2 and New Vegas) and the Resident Evil series.

I'd be down to co op or play whatever with you!

Music is another huge interest of mine with my favorite genre being pop punk along with emo, post-hardcore, metal core and pop rock. I have been listening to a lot of Neck Deep, The Story So Far, All Time Low, Bring Me The Horizon, With Confidence and Movements, as of late.

I'm also a bit musically inclined and can play some guitar and bass. Pretty much enough to noodle my way through at least one or two songs per artist I listen to. I also dabbled in piano for a bit and played trumpet throughout grade school.

Be warned, I WILL absolutely send you songs that would remind me of you at any given moment and/or will make an entire playlist of songs that do the same, if given the chance.

I also love me some media/topics surrounding horror and creepy things. Of course, I enjoy a good horror movie or some random video on a macabre topic. The entire Saw series is an unashamed pleasure of mine. I love me some slasher movies like Scream and Child's Play or some bizarre ones like Lamb or Possum.

Animation, especially cartoons and a bit of anime, is another interest of mine as well with Gravity Falls, Amphibia, Ed Edd n Eddy, Smiling Friends and SpongeBob, Cyberpunk Edgerunners being my go to's. Treasure Planet and the Spiderverse series are my favorite animated movies!

Other smaller interests include art, mostly little cartoonish doodles to pass the time nowadays, although I do make a lot of arts and crafts projects for the class I work with! I also write fanfiction and have a handful of works up on Ao3. I actually just finally posted something after a nearly 2 year hiatus recently.

I'm a pretty open minded person for the most part, willing to try out most things once and then again if I enjoy it. I love learning in general and am always looking for more things to learn. Although, I can be shy at first, once I'm comfortable, I can be pretty goofy and endearingly dumb.

In terms of lifestyle, I don't smoke and very rarely drink, if ever. If that's your thing and you have it under control, who am I to stop you from doing so. I still wear a mask in public to protect myself as well as the child I work with. Liberal/left leaning. I guess I'm also pretty decent with kids as well seeing as though I've survived working with them for the past 3 years.

I do think I would like to be a mother one day as well, whether that be biologically or adopting so, completely childfree I am not. I do love animals and am partial towards cats and reptiles. I do live with two cats for the time being!

Very kink friendly, for sure and I lean very much towards being a bottom/sub. Lowkey love me someone who is assertive and/or takes charge. Show me the ropes, tie up my heart lol, I certainly don't mind prioritizing a partner and putting their desires first, to a healthy degree

As for what I'm looking for in a partner: - Between the ages of 24 - 34, bonus points if neurodivergent or a POC but certainly not required - Either in the DC, MD, Nothern VA area or looking to relocate to this area within the near future (big ask, I know and totally understandable if you cant) - Able to balance all the different aspects of life along with a relationship with a bit of healthy prioritization here and there - Open minded, curious, trans friendly

And what do you get in return? Well, lemme tell ya, you'll get someone who: - Is a very good listener and (apparently) a decent giver of advice, you can talk my ear off about any and everything and will probably come to love your voice - Will always notice the effort you put into anything, no matter how small it may seem - Has come a long way and actively works on her communication skills - Again, will send you a song, or anything that reminds me of you. As well as really dumb videos, memes or posts in the hopes of making you smile
- Quotes SpongeBob, DBZ Abridged or various other pieces of media fairly often - As curious as cat but also acts like a golden retriever once you get to know her

If you've read my ramblings this far, thank you so much for giving me a bit of your time and if anything I've said resonates/seems interesting to you, even if it's just one thing, don't be afraid to reach out in comments or send me a DM. I usually use Discord as my main form of communication nowadays, whether that be VC or texting

Can't wait to get to know you and I hope to talk to you soon!
