Why Am I Doing That Here, on PolyamoryR4R?

• I don't feel like negotiating a core part of my identity to make friends.
• Most of my extroversion comes out in these contexts, so here we are.

Who Am I?

• A nerdy extroverted introvert. How can I be both, you ask? Trauma.
• With color-changing hair. This one's also probably trauma, let's be real. Greens are fun.
• Someone with at least a little emotional intelligence. I could always do better, though!
• A person at the age where I realize how important community is.
• AMAB and not always a fan of it. Queer as a general label. I do what I want. Roll with it.

What Am I Looking For?

• People who share interests with my polycule and general friend group.
• People willing to play D&D? I've got a custom, snarky, eldritch horror campaign brewing.
• People who are a compatible type of weird (spooky artistic queer goblincore nerds).

What About My Interests? (I Had to Actually Ask Myself That)

• Dad jokes.
• Cats (esp. 14 of them in particular).
• Spooky Chiptune (wearing, watching others wear).
• Coffee (though now I'm being an Adult™ and cutting back a little).
• Not being stressed constantly.
• Old school, point-and-click adventure games (looking at you, Shadowgate).
• Gay space rocks and making others watch them.
• Serialized fiction podcasts (I want to make one! Ask me about it).
• Other types of podcasts on occasion.
• Being like, a little gay, all the time (can facts be interests? I like me).
• Shonen manga (because I do like that part of my socialization).
• Picking up crafty hobbies (probably borrowing yours, too!).
• Hearing about your special interests.
• Talking about my special interests.
• Having a Special Interest Disorder.
• More things that what's probably ADHD doesn't like me remembering right now.

How You Should Proceed if Any of This Has Motivated You to Message Me

• Put effort into a response. Show me you're paying attention.
• Seriously, I will not be responding to one-word messages or things that have zero content.
• Mention one thing I've said here or there's a good chance I won't reply.

Misc. (A.K.A. I Was Too Lazy To Conceptually Organize This Stuff Even Though I Probably Could)

• I don't mind relationships that naturally lean non-platonic, and flirty friends are great.
• I have two nesting partners and a whole life surrounding them!
• Those relationships are absolutely going to take priority in a romantic sense.
• Anything more than platonic friends would shift dynamics and cost emotional energy.
• I guess I'm slightly more open to more strictly sexual dynamics, but see above.
• The only way anything other than friends is going to happen is if I naturally want that.
• If you haven't guessed by now, what I'm saying is that it's feeling unlikely.
• You could call it a
• "Barrier to entry."
