hey there, i’m Rory! they/he, late 20s, autistic, just a little guy. ERRA fan first, human second. mostly into wrestling, metal music, a few video games, and cats. lots of cats. (i have the tag #my cats if you’re curious about my babies!) also enjoy this shitty phone edit of a photo from my ERRA concert.
✨THE BASICS:
my usual text post tag is #rory.txt, and if you need me, @ me or come into my asks!
this is a pro-rpf blog so if that bothers you, this may not be the place for you. i will reblog my friends’ fanfic, under the #fic tag, usually.
i try to tag what i can, especially flashing gifs, spiders, blood, choking, and gradient text (should i reblog it at all, i try not to due to inaccessibility). i am human and will miss things, but if i reblog something harmful, please let me know!
if you also have a snake phobia, this is a very safe blog for you! i have a pretty bad phobia of snakes, so you will never find a snake post here.
let’s get to the fun parts. click through to continue!
✨THE WRESTLING:
i mostly watch aew, some indies, and new japan. i do not tag promotions, because i can never keep track. i don’t keep up with wrestling as of the time i’m typing this, but that may change. my liveblog tag is usually #(promotion) lb. i do not watch wwe.
a few of my favorites: kenny omega, MCMG (as a tag team and sabin/shelley individually), speedball mike bailey, abadon, nyla rose, chuck taylor (who i miss dearly), brody king, willow nightingale, and kris statlander.
✨THE MUSIC:
metalhead. tragically emo. it’s not a phase, MOM! *cringe*
some favorites of mine include: ERRA, bad omens, yellowcard, ghost atlas, silverstein, bayside, UNWELL, beartooth, tonight alive, hevenshe, the maine, citizen, dayseeker, holding absence, the devil wears prada, polaris, currents, i see stars, bilmuri, thousand below, the funeral portrait, spiritbox… i could go on.
if you’re interested in my go-to spotify playlist, i’ll link that here. it’s a mess. i love it.
✨THE ART:
i am an artist of many different media! i mostly crochet and paint, but i really like printmaking and knitting too. i have a set of original characters called Funky Punkies, and i love talking about them and showing them off. feel free to ask about them!
my usual tag for my art is #my art. creative, i know. but it’s easy to find! i think i also have #my crochet.
✨THE BOTTOM LINE:
if you wanna know anything more, just ask! i’m pretty open. also, i do post often about my mental health and physical health and the struggles that come along with my conditions. i am very open about having mental illness, chronic illness, and being disabled. these are very big parts of who i am, so i will not hide them.
✨BONUS:
if you read this far….. have a reward. here are my cats :) from left to right: Freddie (snowshoe), Ricky (orange), and Skye (black longhair) 💖 my kitties are my life.
my family also has two dogs, Stella (left) and Ozzy (right)!
being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.
you think that you're so alone in the world then you read literature from hundreds of years ago and you realize that other people have always felt this way
i hate having to text my therapist after 5pm because it feels rude but i. really need to know if she can look for an opening tomorrow whenever she can open the text. i regret telling my psychiatrist i was dealing with things better than i previously had, because i had to have jinxed it. now that my mom has blown up at me like i expected, it hurt worse than i did expect and it just reinforced the fact that i really don’t know what i’m doing here anymore and i don’t wanna be here anymore and i don’t think my parents would miss me if i weren’t. i’m not going anywhere because my cats need me, i have to stay for them, but god i don’t want my entire existence to be this fucking miserable forever 😭
my grandpa had been having troubles for a couple of weeks, and he passed away last night. despite overdoing it yesterday and not really being able to process anything yet, i over-overdid it today helping clean out his room. and i’m really… really not doing so hot, physically and otherwise. i can feel myself wanting to isolate and starting to do it, i’m trying really hard to push past it but god it’s been an awful six months, everything sucks, and i just want a break.
Hey! Just a reminder! AO3 does NOT have an app. This garbage was made by theives who steal fan artist’s work and sell it back to you.
“Oh, but it’s free!” There are ads. They are making money off of this. They are stealing from the creators you love and you are hurting those same creators if you use this app or any similar app.
App acts like a browser but paywalls offline reading while reviews state it’s full of intrusive ads and lacks basic functionality such as commenting. Do not use this app. Use the ao3 website. The app uses Gen-AI content for imagery on categories and is essentially forcing people to pay if they want to read your fics offline.
By the way you don’t have to pay anything to read fics offline. You can do it for free using easily accessible resources that don’t cost anything.
You do not need to pay $1 every week, $2 every month, or even $18 a year. It can be done free! By anyone!
You can also turn ao3 into an app itself by adding it to your Home Screen. You don’t need to download shady apps.
everything is exhausting but i am now the proud owner of One forward nostril piercing, because we couldn’t manage to get the left to line up or sit well enough to where we were confident they’d heal evenly so we’re letting the swelling go down on the one we loved the placement on and we’ll try again once everything is a bit healed up. i’d never been to this piercer before but she’s amazing, very transparent and explanatory about every single step and super sweet
