Hey guys. I'm... still a bit nervous about this admittedly, even after having so much support on other platforms, but.
Given some things that have happened the past couple weeks, along with some stuff that I was waiting on falling into place and having me feel rly gud, I figured I might as well let y'all know.
Hi there, I'm Ashley. I'm a girl, and I go by she/her. :)
Also! Probably going to see about getting something made that has a more suitable resolution for being a profile pic a lil later (have hit my bank a bit hard this pay cycle lol,) but in the meantime, ye here's my new PFP! Was made by my lovely gf @kuronatcher (who has also been extremely supportive of me <3)

I sort my music by putting it into folders based on "which character do I like that this resonates with" and then whatever the hell my computer decides to default sort it into after that.
I'm the character music anon- it has taken me a full twenty minutes since I saw your post to see the word "books" (I mostly just skimmed over the text, read it as music somehow, and decided that you were just kinda weird for calling a musician an author)
This was a VERY funny follow up and I often have to make myself read things multiple times to make sure I'm actually processing it correctly (and still don't) so I get you.
But also, what if you want to listen to a specific song??? How do you find your music??? Do you associate that song with the character enough that it reminds you that it's in that folder?

Jacket!!!! Ye olde varsity I got at the very beginning of my transition thinking "Oh fuck yes I am going to pass so hard in this" and. Well. It never worked I just have never passed a day in my life I don't think 😔 Eventually it just became a beloved test subject and has since gone through a bit of a transition itself LMFAOO
Some Notes:
> A lot of the decorations are taken from old backpacks I loved dearly that got absolutely fucking destroyed by the weight of all the shit I'd lug around in highschool LMFAO (sketchbook, diary, all kinds of notebooks...). Never had the heart to get rid of them. Specifically: The pink zippers, the holographic pockets, the glow in the dark stars, and the holo angel wings!
> The pink/blue checkers are from a small decorative quilt I thrifted years ago, I wouldn't be surprised if it was handmade (it's super soft material, btw! Important LMAO). I only took out one line of squares, I plan on stitching the rest of it back together (haven't done it yet though LMFAO). The reason for this was to upsize the jacket, so I can button it without it clinging. The pockets were added for funsies ESP cause it lined up very well and aren't really practical LMFAO (BUT YOU CAN PUT THINGS IN THEM! If you want!! 🎉🎉🎉)
> The patches (esp the name/pronouns one) were the first additions actually. Eventually more and more things were added, but I will say all the pins on the opposite side of the patches were haphazardly placed for a concert I VERY BADLY wanted to look good for LMFAOO (that's when the stars were added too! Fighting for my life on the car ride over speedrunning sewing and trying not to throw up about it AHAKHSKSHDK)
> Spike placement may be odd and I'd like to add more, but also I do frequently still carry around big heavy backpacks so I have to take that into consideration. Which is also why the wings have been bolted on. Those motherfuckers are NOT going anywhere LMFAO (has a really cool visual effect too!!)
> The material of the jacket itself (sort of a swishy windbreaker fabric) IS ABSOLUTE ASS TO WORK WITH. BY THE FUCKING WAY. IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING. I would NOT recommend it to anybody ESPECIALLY someone who is just starting to fuck around and find out. I literally am just sticking it out bc of the sentimental value this fucker has to me 😭😭😭
This jacket was my first plunge into customization and punk fashion, I didn't have a plan and still don't have one (and I think it kind of shows lmfao). I do worry that it's too soft and cutesy. Kind of the whole point for me, when it came to leaning heavy into punk, was to feel sharper, like I had some bite to me. I might be getting closer, but I think I'm still just kind of a silly guy LMAO. But, I do think in a way, esp as my first project, it represents me well -- where I started, what I loved before the beginning, what I tried desperately to be, what I still wish for, reuniting with the things I loved and embracing them in a brand new context. It's still an ongoing project too! So maybe as I keep growing, it'll grow alongside me, maybe finding that grit I've been striving for along the way.

in the year 2019 i successfully completed a challenge called "2019". it's aim was to find kafka writings to obsess over every single day of 2019, while my peers were (often negatively) surprised just how many interpretations of kafka i could quote, and those interpretations that i quote were made since the time of kafka to the 21st century. and then, surprisingly, in 2020, i did the same challenge (aptly renamed "2020"), and completed it, despite online most of the time.
i found out i was in the wrong major in the wrongest possible way, and i would 100% do it again.
