My Purpose
Hi there! I've rejoined Tumblr for the first time in several years, so I figured I'd make a post to explain what I'm doing here, what I'm all about, and a little bit of what to expect while I figure out exactly what this blog is going to be. Feel free to read or not, I don't own you!
First I'll introduce myself. I'm Alexis, but feel free to call me Ally or Alex or Lexi or whatever. If you don't wanna call me by my first name, Near and Fresh are both fine too. I'm 23, from Ireland, my pronouns are she/they, I write, this stuff is in my about page so I'll mostly gloss over it.
Interests include allsorts, like Devil May Cry, Treasure Planet, Edgar Wright films, Kameo: Elements of Power, Beyond Good & Evil (the video game not the Nietzsche book), philosophy stuff in general, film in general, A Series of Unfortunate Events, the tv show You, and loads more that aren't coming to mind right now. I'm a well rounded lady.
As a writer I mainly do long-form fiction, but occasionally short fictional stories inspired by real events or emotions I wanna sort. My long-term goal is to get into investigative journalism, and maybe end up teaching philosophy or journalism in university. I'm also currently planning and writing a fantasy series from the perspective of a young adult coming into their own, realising they live within a broken system, and all the philosophical and political transitions that come along with that. It's heavily inspired by my own real life political journey, as well as my journey figuring myself out in the world as a nonbinary trans woman. No announcements yet regarding names or anything, but hopefully we'll see that soon! Maybe I'll even post some excerpts and character profiles, but I might make a separate blog for writing and put stuff there. Who knows! Figuring it out as we go!
I am currently working as a supervisor in a tech retail shop, and I take editing commissions on the side. I'll proofread any written pieces you've got. I specialise in stories and essays, but I have also looked at poetry and scripts for video essays and short films. Rates are negotiable, quick turnaround, with references available upon request. I also occasionally stream on twitch under the name nearisfresh, but that's not really a job so much as a very infrequent hobby.
In general I try to be a fairly chill and friendly person. Always feel free to shoot me a message or an ask if you wanna get in touch or chat. I love learning about people's interests so feel free to infodump. And altogether, enjoy your time here! I think I'm not gonna stop myself from liking and reblogging NSFW so if that bothers you, you might wanna skip this. Not porn though you don't need to worry about that.
also it's been a while since I've been here is it bad that I'm doing an intro post the length of the bible. who gives a fuck NOT ME BABY
