Hello, you can call me Paper or Aque!

I'm usually super busy but I love drawing OCs in my spare time. I am also the owner of the semi-closed species Orins, it's my passion project! I'm not great at responding to anything besides work/commissions due to ADHD related memory problems. In layman's terms, I can be a total airhead, so please never take it personally and always feel welcome to send me reminders on anything!

I am not too interested in befriending minors beyond surface-level mutuals since I'm an adult. Nothing personal, we're just in different phases in life! Feel free to still chat with me in public spaces or about art stuff anytime!

Okay if you're here casually you can stop reading now. If you're here to go PRO on the paper yap-a-thon, you can keep reading to your heart's content.

I am, like, either super talkative or super quiet depending on when you catch me and what we talk about. I was born for forums, I yearn for them. I have a lot of opinions about anime & cartoon series because I watch A LOT of them but am also ridiculously picky and put them all under a heavy layer of scrutiny and analysis. Like, what purpose was XYZ written for? Do you want to hear why I think this character has unintended autism coding? OH THANK GOD THIS ANIME FEATURES ADULT CHARACTERS! You get the idea.

I am also very big into Vocaloid, since circa 2012 or so! Mostly into the producers/songs rather than deep in the voicebank character lore. In this essay, I will tell you about how positively influential Project Sekai was for the revival of virtual singers, and how 25ji's story is a straight up love letter to producers like Powapowa-P and Nekobolo.

I'm also pretty into video games! I think my favorite genres are open world, farming, and horror, though I've dabbled in a bit of everything. I loooove the crap out of OMORI and think everyone should experience the story at least once. It changed my brain chemistry.

Moving away from media, I'm also pretty into psychology but I'm too much of an artbrain to pursue it professionally. I'm never an authority on anything, just very fascinated by how brains & people work and am always interested in learning something new about the topic! Likewise, I will also sit down and listen excitedly to ANYONE infodump about marine life/fish, plant/mushroom foraging, and reptiles!! Tell me those fun facts even if we've never spoken before!!

I am not much of an activist, in spite of wishing I could do more, but I do have things I hold very dear to my heart and am very passionate about. (if you're reading this, you just lost the game.) Treating people like human beings feels like a bare minimum, of course, but it's not a given unfortunately. Regardless of your gender, orientation, race, disabilities, culture, or anything else intertwined with your very existence, you deserve basic human kindness, respect, and equal rights. If you EVER see me fall victim to a subconscious bias, please DO call me out on it. I always want to learn more, do more, and be better as a person! I know nobody can ever be "perfect," but I want to at least pride myself in always confronting my mistakes head-on, whether they're big or small.
