BOX TEXT //

I am a birb who makes things! I made this website, too. I have a Bachelor's degree in animation, 2 cats, and I work in a sticker shop! I also stream (mostly) art on Sundays. My husband is a wizard (and is responsible for most of the JavaScript on this site). We lift weights and make video games! I have too many projects but I couldn't help but add this site to that list. I also like to PLAY video games and the occasional TTRPG. I'm a big nerd about paleontology, as well.

My affinity for old things also extends to the more recently old, and I have been experiencing a lot of nostalgia for the '90s/'00s lately, hence, this website. I have a lot of eclectic interests and ideas that don't have a place on my main portfolio site or anywhere else really (and some are just not relevant in any sense other than personal history), so this site is a playground of sorts for all of that silliness.

LIKES: Animals, nature, natural history/paleontology, fantasy, creature design, video games, art (any media), animation, customizing things, DIY, combining media, woodwork, typography, design, nostalgic aesthetics, edutainment, earthy colors, creativity within technical limitations

DISLIKES: Smoking, littering, really bright headlights, landlords/renting, not having enough space, software-as-a-service, corporate greed, militarism, bigotry, people letting cats outside, sports (especially American football and its culture), Myers-Briggs in bios

QUIZ RESULTS

Though sadly Quizilla and thusly whatever results I may have gotten way back in the day are long gone, if I do any quizzing, I'll put the results here for shits and giggles.

Images and/or result headers link to the original quizzes.





Raven

Ravens are true romantics. They love stories about brave yet doomed knights and noble ladies. In keeping with chivalric custom, they are dedicated and loyal friends. Ravens are supportive, emotionally and intellectually. Famed for their intelligence, ravens are the best kinds of scholars: they are open-minded and imaginative. For example, a raven would help you decipher cryptic messages in ancient texts to discover new incantations you test and improve together. A raven would have bonded with you in large part because you're scholarly, enjoying learning for the sake of learning. You challenge yourself intellectually. You also have an appreciation for beauty. Not only is your magic effective, but it's beautiful too. People are amazed by your work and abilities everywhere you go. You and your familiar are most interested in astronomy, attempting to make sense of the past, present, and future through the movements of the cosmos.

What Eevee Evolution Are You?



Sandile

Well, would you look at that! It seems a Sandile wants to be your partner! Sandile, also called the Desert Croc Pokémon, live buried sand and moves beneath its surface with just its nose and eyes showing. Like most ground and dark Pokémon, Sandile are drawn to people who are dependable and perceptive, though they are also known to be exceptionally devoted and mischievous Pokémon. They make the perfect partner for trainers who are loyal but shrewd, and while they're generous to their friends, love when they know things that other people don't. My friend, this marks the beginning of your and Sandile's journey together. Welcome to the world of Pokémon!



witch

you noticed something was up when you checked your shopping list and "thyme" was written there in someone else's handwriting. she keeps to herself mostly, but occasionally things go missing from your kitchen cabinets, or a strange smell wafts up to your room. one time she left a flask by the front door with a bow tied around it in twine and a note that said "love potion." her way of saying thanks, you suppose.

you are lightcyan
#E0FFFF

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well.

Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working.

Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

big cat

look, it's nothing personal. the jurassic park fence and maybe one of those drop-off gorges between you and the fence is as much if not more for your protection than that of the guests. you don't have to interact with hardly anyone you don't want to - aside from dropping off food, they mostly just chuck toys in there enrichment and let you rip em to shreds. there's a hammock, maybe a tire swing, a heat lamp or a big heated rock for nice long naps. people can get shockingly close to you but no one wants to end up on the news so they generally mind their manners and most importantly, you don't have to share with anyone else. aside from the peacocks that are loose at every zoo for some reason, this is YOUR house.

Which Dragon Ball character are you?

Love

You create from love. It is an overflowing love that seeps out of your heart and into all you create. You couldn't possibly contain it inside yourself, and so you dedicate yourself to depicting it through everything you make. Your art is a celebration of what you cherish most, a loving tribute to everything that captivates you. There are things too wonderful to be appreciated in silence, and so you sing of your love time and time again. You are determined not to let your vast love go unnoticed or forgotten. That's why your work is a declaration of affection, an expression of fondness for everything that makes your life worth living.



Tawny

Golden autumn leaves. Rustic woodwork. Crackling hearth fires.
Your soul is tawny: a rich blend of warmth, resilience, and earthy wisdom. You move through life with the quiet strength and majestic presence of a forest in autumn. Your spirit is nurturing and grounded, deeply connected to the natural world and its cycles of growth and change. In your presence, there's a sense of comfort and stability, like the reassuring embrace of an old, wise tree or the warmth of a fire on a cool night. You embody the enduring qualities of nature – resilience, adaptability, and a deep-rooted sense of being. Your approach to life is both pragmatic and thoughtful, finding beauty in the simple, lasting things and guiding others with a gentle, unwavering hand.
