About Me, This Blog, And Frequently Asked Questions Under The Cut:

🌿 BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING ELSE WHAT ARE YOUR PRONOUNS??????
in english i mainly use they/them and he/him, lately with a preference for They!
i'm also vibing with ey/em/eir, it/its, and No Pronouns
my preferred norwegian pronouns are dem, han, and nøkk/nøkken/nøkkens
when it comes to gendered terms i prefer gender neutral + gently masculine terms, or terms used in a gender neutral manner. i don't like to be strongly gendered in either direction, and i don't want to think about my own gender more than neccessary!
the best way to describe my gender identity is Taurus II by Mike Oldfield hope this helps
🌿 WHAT THE HECK IS A BOGKEEP
it's like a barkeep but for bogs! this particular bogkeep seems to be a mix of nøkken, huldra, vodník, and possibly a changeling. maybe a cat? i wouldn't worry about it
if i look human that's just glamour. we live in a society and all that
🌿 WHO'S THE BOGKEEP?
hi i'm haiz nice to meet you. you can also call me theo or teddy or severin if you'd like <3
officially in the 30+ age bracket
i'm norwegian and czech! i was born in the arctic and i am also of saami and kvenish descent.
i've been many things, such as an art history student, a children's book illustrator, a volunteer for queer organizations, a hotel receptionist, And Many More. most recently i've been a watchmaker student. i hope to be even more things in the future!
unicornkin but my fursona is a hare
i love to DRAW and sometimes WRITE and i have a lot of FEELINGS ABOUT THINGS
🌿 CAN I USE YOUR ART FOR -
headers/icons/digital decoration?
- yes! just please credit me somewhere. anything that's just fun personal use and not in any way profiting off of my work is a-ok! in fact i am flattered and honored
tattoos?
- please ask me first! a lot of my work is of OCs, commissioned, or otherwise very personal - so it's a case by case decision!
real life wall decoration?
- i do have a redbubble, but it's a little limited in scope - mostly because a lot of my work is fanart of other people's property. if there's something i've made you want to see on there, let me know and i'll see what i can do! as for fanart - i'm honestly okay with people printing their own prints for their personal blorbo shrines or whatever, as long as it's not for profit! if you contact me i can even share a hi-res version of the art with you ;3c
anything AI- or blockchain related?
- nope! any use of my work in this context is without my permission.
🌿 WHAT'S THIS BLOG FOR?
this is my personal blog where i post my art! i also post Thoughts and Feelings when the urge strikes me. you can't really get one without the other sorry
i post both Original Work and Fanart. the fandoms i dabble in tend to be a little obscure, but if you're reading this, chances are you've found me through one of them. thank you for enjoying my work <3
i also post photos sometimes. i love the sky and the world around me
i've had this blog since 2011/2012! it's a bit of an archive. i don't mind if you root around in the old stuff, just keep in mind that it's old!
sometimes i reblog unicorns as they are a Personal Motif of mine, but pretty much all other reblogs go to my sideblog, @longlostpath
i have two other sideblogs - one for funky fashion and the intricacies of having a body @ishallwearcosmos
and a sky blog @whentheskydoesthething
🌿 WHAT ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS?
this is my personal space and i decide what goes on here.
i block the following: people who engage in bad faith, people who disrespect my humanity or that of my peers, people acting awful or annoying on my posts.
anonymous asks are turned off. if you send an ask you don't want me to publish, just let me know!
i don't mind DMs, but please tell me what you're messaging me for upfront instead of just saying "hi" or "hello". if you're just looking to chat, bring a topic to the table! i do not have it in me to do the heavy lifting for a conversation i did not choose to have.
i do my best to tag common triggers but i cannot promise 100% consistency.
likewise, i do my best to write image descriptions for the art i post, but due to personal inacessibilities it's a little sporadic. i write them in the alt text when i do.
i have no wish to publicly participate in the Discourses. do not mistake this for neutrality or a lack of principles. i enjoy good faith discussions but i prefer to have them in private.
🌿 WHAT ARE YOUR BELIEFS THEN I SIMPLY MUST KNOW
i feel very strongly about inclusion, compassion, boundaries, personal growth, the vast diversity of human experiences, the right to safety, autonomy, dignity and the inherent imperfection of being a person.
it's none of my business how people describe themselves or their experiences. they know better than i do what is true for them.
there is no one single experience that is exclusive to one demographic. solidarity above endlessly splitting hairs over semantics.
english is not the only language. western culture is not the only culture. tumblr is but a sliver of the earth's total population. the world is really really big and complex.
you can't do Everything. you're only one person*, you've only got one body. some things are within your powers and many things are not. (* unless you are plural, but sentiment still stands.)
self-flagellation does not lead to growth and betterment (unless it's a kink thing for you, in which case, have fun). i believe that if you really desire to change something, finding the things you can do is much more productive than punishing yourself for the things you can't.
i hope it goes without saying that i believe exploitation, slavery, genocide, and oppression in its many forms is Bad.
i believe in striving for a world that is better and kinder to all its inhabitants.
i believe in learning and listening and thinking through why you believe what you believe. learning about the structures we live and partake in will grant a greater understanding than just repeating rote phrases you've been taught are the correct thing to say.
many people speak impulsively from a place of pain and trauma. many people react from a place of pain and trauma. i am not excluded from this. i find this useful to remember when perusing the internet.
i am not immune to propaganda. you are not immune to propaganda. moral panics are easy to give in to.
the internet is never going to run out of assholes with bad takes.
for my fellow prisoners of the Brain Spiral: breathe. there is ground beneath your feet. it's okay to just exist.
🌿 WILL YOU COMMISSION ME/PROMOTE MY THING ON YOUR BLOG/GIVE ME MONEY?
nope! please don't ask me to.
🌿 I DON'T LIKE YOU BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU BECAUSE ANON IS TURNED OFF :(
you can blacklist my handle in your settings. be free. live your best life. you'll never have to read my annoying ramblings again...!
