Note on Shipping: Please reach out if you do not receive a swap! I will re-send. An involved swap may take a while to re-send, but I will always re-send. And I have noticed for thick envelopes it can take 2 weeks at a minimum to receive letters from me domestically.

~+++~ Hello Hello!

Lately I have been loving doing creative things. Making ATCs, drawing, painting, and decorating envelopes. I really like swaps where I can be creative with the prompt. If you want to do a creative themed, private swap with me please DM. I put a lot of time into my creative swaps and try to make it a real treasure for the receiver.

I have many sides to my personality. I seem to like opposites - for example I love horror but also love romance, I love black but also love pink, I love creepy but also love cute. You get the picture ;)

LGBTQIA+ Safe Space

I really love anything artistic. I feel like I am rather open minded - I love so much art and different styles. I love WEIRD stuff too, from funny, to bizarre, macabre, or just "out there" - especially if it's artsy. I truly love when I get weird stuff and see people express themselves outside of the box with their arts and crafts.

((Colors)) +Dark/deep/rich colors +Black, gray, green, purple. + vintage or vintage looking materials - NOT a huge fan of neon and exceptionally bright unless very artistic.

((Images)) I like dark themes usually, but I also like japanese kawaii aesthetic.

+Dark Academia, Books, Botanical anything, and Witchy anything, celestial themes, bugs/moths

+Monsters, ghosts, ghouls, horror film and horror novel themes, gore, macabre, gothic anything and everything, snakes, spiders and creepy crawlies. They might not be for everyone but the certainly are for me.

+Cute/Kawaii: san-x characters and badtz-maru. Bunnies are my favorite cute animal to receive. Anime is good too, and anything japanese kawaii I love.

+Animals: I like forest creatures (squirrel, rabbit, bear, badger, fox) and ocean creatures (jellyfish, whale, creepy fish, octopus) and frogs, snakes, and turtles! also LOVE any bugs.

((Aesthetics))

I love anything Asian, especially patterns like on origami paper, fabric, washi tape, stationery and cards.

Cottagecore is lovely. I like woodsy themes: foxes, mushrooms, bears, squirrels, badgers, rabbits, ferns, trees, and cabins.

((Books)) I love to read, and I read a lot but usually potato-chip romance! I love book themed mail so much.

++ high fantasy, urban fantasy if it is done well, horror, mystery, thriller, romance (no spice is too high, I will read anything) sci-fi.

++ poetry. I like to write and read poetry and would absolutely love to receive poetry either original or one you just happen to like.

++manga and comic books when they are not superhero ones (think more indie and art based), and zines.

((Music)) Electronic, Metal (any subgenera), Shoegaze + Goth of all kinds, Lo-Fi, Classical, Experimental, Indie, Hip-Hop, and international music I rarely listen to country or blue-grass, or jam-bands

((Movies+TV)) I rarely watch movies or TV - but I love vintage sci-fi film aesthetic.

+Horror: anything to do with Hannibal Lecter. Silence of the Lambs is my favorite. I like most horror films.

+Sci-Fi: the old ones are amazing! 2001 space odyssey, silent running, martian chronicles, alien, blade runner. New ones are good too: Dune and Prometheus specifically were beautiful.

+anything studio Ghibli - I love Miyazaki's films.

+I also like very visual films: the fall (movie) and the cell are my favorites.

((VideoGames))

+Animal Crossing and Skyrim are my #1 games and I like playing any mario games.

I love crafting and have so many hobbies.

+making stationery, junk journaling, making stickers and ephemera, watercolor, and drawing

+jewelry making, I have a full silversmithing studio and have been smithing since 2019

+pottery, I am learning wheel thrown ceramics

+baking, cooking, sewing, gardening, houseplants, canning and preserving

I am non-religious so please do not send me religious themed items.

No kid themed items, kid brand or things geared towards children.

I'm not a fan of superheroes, disney, tabletop games or DnD so those types of items will get passed along or recycled as well.
