It's been a while since I've been part of the Tumblr community, but today, I'm here to officially introduce myself and set forth some changes I would like to implement. Just like the epic hero Gilgamesh, who embarked on his legendary quest for immortality, I too am taking a momentous step toward leaving a digital legacy.
My name is not important, but if you'd like to call me something, Aruru would be appropriate. I primarily use fae/faer pronouns. I'm currently pursuing biochemistry at university, but I find seeking all types of knowledge rewarding.
This blog is a canvas of sorts, a place where I can express my eclectic tastes and passions. It's a delightful mix of things I adore, ranging from heartfelt essays that brought tears to my eyes to whimsical memes that never fail to make me giggle. I'll do my best to tag everything appropriately so you can easily explore the content that catches your interest.

Why is my blog themed after the Epic of Gilgamesh? 60% spite, 30% unironic obsession, and 10% ironic humour. Also, I don't want people who know me in real life to find my blog. They must have a hint, though, because I genuinely talk about the story a lot.
In addition to the Epic, I have many other fandom interests. You can, of course, just see what I've posted lately to know what my latest obsession is. If you are on a desktop, my website also has a handy bar on the right side to share what I’m currently enjoying. Additionally, I have a tag list linked below.
I love seeing the creativity on this website, and I'd like to offer some of my ideas and creations. I plan to use this blog as an outlet, especially for ideas I get that I simply can't share with anyone else I know. I also read and write fanfiction, mostly on AO3. I have many projects in the works, a healthy number actually inspired by users on this website! I also like making visual art, whether digital painting or traditional pencil sketches. Currently, I'm focussing on portrait studies.
Furthermore, I plan on starting a YouTube channel soon! It would have a variety of content, whatever I want to post. Mostly, however, I want to start creating video essays. I love the format and have tons of ideas. However, I haven't even begun writing a single script, so we'll just see where this goes first.
Please, reblog and like to your heart's content. I welcome that kind of spam! If you really resonate with my posts, follow this blog and don't hesitate to reach out. I'm excited to connect, have conversations, and build a community united by passions

Of him, Gilgamesh, who underwent many hardships.
just saw Chess. there was in fact yaoi. expected. but also. unexpected. but i’m very pleased there was also yuri. also the music was amazing highly recommend.
I used to think that losing a home was the hardest thing that could happen.
But what I’ve learned is that the hardest part comes after — trying to rebuild your life while carrying the weight of everything you lost 💔
Every day, I try to focus on the future. On my education, on my family, on the hope that one day things will feel stable again. But hope becomes difficult to hold onto when every step forward feels uncertain.
This campaign is not just helping us financially. It’s helping us believe that our future is still worth fighting for.
If you’re reading this, thank you for taking a moment to see the person behind the fundraiser. Your support, your kindness, and even sharing our story can make a bigger difference than you might imagine 🤍🙏

Thank you for standing by my family. I know I keep asking, but your donations are what keeps us alive, especially after the recent bombing that injured us all.
Our sole focus now is saving my brother Samer. Getting his vital medications and evacuating him for treatment is our only hope.
Please share our story and urge others to donate

though every rat is special, it's a wonderful and unusual thing for their accomplishments to be remembered and cherished by so many people so many years later. we're all so fortunate to know about the rat who banged out the tunes!
thank you to all the people who sent me reference photos of their beloved rats for this piece!!! credits under the cut!
