Sup, I'm Leo. 🙇 || He/They || Old in age, young in spirit 😝 || +18 blog, Minors try to DNI

Just a tired bisexual gramps trying to live their best life... 🫠 If you still somehow want to follow this clusterfuck of a blog, here's some things to expect:

Follow at Own Risk: Occasional suggestive/NSFW material, Horror, Gore, Political posts, & too many Animal Pictures (esp. of cats! 😺)

No consistent aesthetic unless you count ✨ Yours Truly 😌✨ (& whatever is my latest hyper-fixation).

Expect rambling in the tags (my diagnosed ADHD arse likes to yap at times). 😆

Potentially Relevant Tags (of the few that are consistent, lol) 

#writing: writing references & notes I find useful/relatable (fiction & nonfiction)

#about me: posts I find relatable 

#leo's stuff: personal replies & thoughts (don't expect much use of this tag though)

#reblogging for those who may need it: useful public notices, reminders, & practical/actionable references

#silly stuff: just little things that make me smile or chuckle regardless of whether it's high-brow, low-brow, dark, childish, witty, & whatnot

#fun with words: Good for anybody else who also enjoys learning about word origins, colorful phrases, slang, expanding one's vocabulary, and just overall wordplay!

Random Things I Enjoy:

Drawing nature, playing with colors/texture, & sketching interiors/architecture

Stumbling across new interesting words, Reading in general (non-fiction, fiction, graphic novels, interactive fiction, webcomics, scholarly articles, etc.)

Writing in general esp. for self-clarity or for others seeking help

Psychological/Body horror, Spooky stories, Fight/dance choreography, Queer subtext, Character-driven plots, Media with immersive settings

Analysis Breakdowns: craft & rhetoric, art & design, philosophy, social sciences, natural sciences, choreography, world history, word origins, cooking, etc.

Movement that allows testing a variety of ways to improve (eg. self-defense/martial arts, yoga, weight-lifting, dancing, etc.)

Being silly & multi dimensional. Of just taking things one step at a time, ya? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Last Updated: 5/07/2026

days don’t have to be great to be good days. good days can be calm and relatively uneventful, a small rest from seemingly longer days. those are the ones i find myself overlooking and then missing. there were days when i tasted really good fresh fruit or bought a happy little bee plant or took a nice nap or had lunch outside under the sun. those were good days i should have given more credit.

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

how i feel before going to the gym vs after going to the gym

[oyasumi-i]

A good news is that I am changing, the flip side is that I don’t know where I am heading to. But I’m glad I no longer am the old version of myself.

So we definitely need more positive representation of DID, but you know what would be funny? Mildly inconvenient representation of DID.

Oh the world is ending and you need to know about this one specific thing? Yeah I have a guy for that but he doesn't feel like fronting right now

Sorry what's happening rn is this the bad guy? Yeah I just switched in idk what's going on

I know you're dating one alter but we're currently co-con with another alter who hates you so idk how I'm feeling rn

And just who do i think I am? It's funny you should ask that I actually don't know right now
