before I start anything here - I'm quite a fem looking guy. completely non-masculine? definitely not. but, if that isn't your thing, and attraction is of great importance, then feel free to look away (i'll go into detail on it later on in this post).

hey :> I'm looking for a genuine connection - ideally long-term, but short-term under specific circumstances. turning 21 very soon!

so, getting started with who I am
I have high-functioning ASD, and so, it does not affect my independence. along with that, I have anxiety issues, mood swings, and have dealt with mental issues. bc of my history with all this, I like to think that i'm very knowledgeable and a good listener when it comes to mental health struggles. it has informed my perspective on life, as well as who I want to be, so I'm quite confident and stable.

when it comes to what I like to do in my free time, I'm very much a homebody. playing video games, game dev/design, philosophy and deep convos, pixel art, etc. I don't go out much, but when I do, I love hikes and nature more than anything else. anything that is chill and allows us to talk - just going for walks, having deep/fun convos, arcades, playing games together, museums, etc. I greatly value genuine personal connections over indulging myself in short-term (possibly pleasant), long-term unpleasant, acts to receive human validation and connections.

moving on tho, my interests are more varied. here's a massive dump :}
video games (genshin (gacha cring but genshin is an exception), ARPGs, guilty gear, risk of rain, metroidvanias, soulsborne, etc), philosophy, anime/manga, tv series and books (of which i haven't indulged in either for quite a long while...), animals (esp birds and cats), dark fantasy, character design, world-building, internet rabbit holes (kind of related to psychology, just without the science that bores me for the most part), coryxkenshin (back when he acc uploaded :^), vg combat and gameplay design, music (radiohead/ambient/indie/prog rock).

there are the interests which I want to explore more, but haven't gotten to yet.
theology and mythology (folklore, esp italian folklore! that's something I need to get into), music composition, 3d modelling (love the low-poly/ps1/ps2 aesthetic), hair styling stuff just to experiment mayhaps c: (i do like my natural hair though), minimal makeup experimentation (more so for fun), earrings, and more that I currently cannot think of so i'll leave it at that :\*

my appearance
not fully comfortable uploading pictures of myself on here, so i'll leave a brief description of how I look.

• white
• I don't necessarily conform to masc or fem norms, but I'm def more so masc than fem - a "twink" if you will.
• dark blonde hair, short wolf cut that is messy but still flat for the most part.
• green/greyish eyes.
• 6'2, thin build w some muscle.
• not the most perfect facial skin, despite eating healthily. don't have cystic acne, it's just more deep-skin stuff like some minor milia under my eyes. still trying out skincare products and whatnot, but might end up taking medication for it.
• minor under-eye hollows that don't look straight or sunken. they def make me look more emo tho. :')

who i'm looking for
these aren't strict criteria. if you find me interesting, feel free to text me, regardless of where you're from.

• female from england (south preferably).
• 18 to 24, may make an exception for 25.
• shorter than 6'0.
• healthy body weight.
• qualities I like - curiosity, sillyness, independence, openness.

that's all I want to put here... it's becoming a bit much lmfao. use it as a baseline and fill in the gaps by getting to know me :) and ty for reading to here from the beginning if you actually managed to do so

DMing with a small intro and asl would be preferable!
