Hi.
Yeah, we'll go with that as a title.
I am Skellington also known as Skelly. The K part stands for Kian. Nice to meet you and welcome to my "About Me Pinned Post".
First and foremost while this tumblr has mostly FFXIV related things, I originally made this tumblr to randomly post my writings. Never really got into the habit of that (still haven't) but I'd like to get back into it at some point.
So this isn't an FFXIV only place and likely never will be. Its just my gaming fixation atm.
Second, this year (soon to be past) of 2025 I finally got the diagnosis that I wanted and it turns out that I'm AuDHD - Autistic w/ ADHD. While I've started to demask over the past few months, I haven't fully quite yet. So I have 0 clue who exactly I am, what my full range of interests are and all the other things that come with being neurodivergent.
Part of that demasking may be going along with my ADHD impulses and just... post. Maybe that means I'll go back to old ask games and answer questions that interest me. Maybe I'll share what my obsession is. Or maybe I'll reblog something that I wanna reblog. I'm burnt out, depressed and tired and one of things that'll help is to just do things that make me happy even if it means I'mma be weird. Figured I'd give ya'll a heads up.
Also, I post sporactically. You may not see things from me for weeks. Either I'm too shy/scared/embarrassed to post or I am in a losing battle with my Autism and ADHD fighting over my brain to do anything.
Third - I got sideblogs! Mostly to keep things organized (despite the fact my brain will never fully submit to it). Every now and again I'll update one of them but the more prominent of them for the moment is @peddlestox-shinyrocks because I need more joy in my life and my lalafel gives me joy. I will try to also reblog here when I update the others, but no guarentees.
Here is the previous pinned post about my list of characters that is probably going to be updated with characters outside of FFXIV at some point!!!!!
Now with that out of the way lets get into the more about me stuff.
As of this exact time I am 30 turning 31 by the end of the month (Dec).
I work a 40hr week with a rotating schedule at a retail job I hate for money I need to live (and to indulge in expensive hobbies).
I game. Often.
I write. Often. In my head. ...And sometimes on paper.
I have a BlueSky; I have a Twitch. The latter I plan on starting up more regularly but that'll depend on my scheduling and forcing myself in a routine that my brain isn't going to want to do. (And find games to play while at it). I also have a twitter but I'm pretending it no longer exists :(
I can speak through nothing but .gifs. If my friends were on tumblr, they would be able to back me up on that. It is my talent and I'm weirdly proud of it.
I am asexual nonbinary afab. Due to my current living situation I don't feel comfortable taking all the steps in fully presenting as nonbinary. Maybe when I have my own place to live and I'm not sharing a space with roommates.
I love to world build. I can spend months obsessing over fleshing out a random obscure race/area/world in general just to get lost in my head and go to my happy place.
Here's a list of games I've played/am playing: Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy IX, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Tales of Legendia, World of Warcraft, Palia, Dreams of Mirror Online, ArcheAge, Baldur's Gate 3, Dungeons and Dragons (3.5, 5e 2014 and Pathfinder), Grimshire, and a whole bunch of stuff I played that I don't remember on the GBA, Steam List, and old MMORPGs whose servers are loooooooong gone.
My favorite game genre is MMORPGs.
My favorite art style of games is pixel.
My list of anime watched is longer than my list of games. Just know that most of them are pre 2015 and anything recent I likely don't know about. Yet.
My favorite color(s) is silver and every color a rose comes in.
Yes, I love roses.
I had two pet rabbits. One named Mikki and the other Persephone. They have both sadly passed away.
I like playing healers in MMOs. Less so because I like playing the support role and more so that its chaotic enough for my ADHD and routine enough for my autism.
My favorite healer is Restoration Shaman from WoW: WotLK or Cata.
I know how to crochet. Haven't done so in a while, but am thinking about getting back into it.
I guess you could call me a pagan. I don't quite subscribe to the practice, I don't think it works well with my adhd. But it is something I want to get into.
I have a deck of tarot cards. Can't really read them quite yet, but I do have them.
Divination has called to me well before Astrologian became my choice of healer. I've wanted to work with pendulums since my pre-teen years.
