[] drawing requests are open [] he/him [] worlds most sporadic poster [] i am a messenger of the truth (i am full of headcanons and theories and they need to be set free) [] art, writing, and less broadly; darkest dungeon, don’t starve, moby dick, and NOW apparently lotr and the hobbit too! []
ive been on this site for literal years, had several blogs, and i am just now decided i should probably starting doing that 'intro post' thing. oof.
Howdy! I go by Alto on here - it's not my name, but it is what you ought to call me, Tumblr-wise. You might see me referring to myself with other names, but Alto is what I normally go by on Tumblr. I prefer he/him, but truthfully I care very little.

I am a chronic rambler and I can't be stopped. Expect to see me incapable of shutting up. literally - if i see a post and have nothing to say about it, i won't reblog it 90% of the time, even if i do think its funny/good/etc. I am also a bit of a hodgepodge of different interests and hobbies, but here's the basic, most common tags you need to know in case you're a greenhand here:
#alto art <- for my visual art, sculptures, drawings, etc
#alto alliterates <- a newer tag where i will be posting my writings, most of which will be reposts or cross-posts to my ao3 account
#alto alliterates <- a newer tag where i will be posting my writings, most of which will be reposts or cross-posts to my ao3 account
#alto answers <- tag for my answers to asks. its pretty sparse in there right now - never feel afraid to send an ask! i use tumblr as a way to interact with others about my interests
#Moby Dick <- for posts about Herman Melville's great american novel on whaling, and my primary interest. sometimes i post under 'Herman Melville', but thats only for outreach. everything's in this tag.
#lotr / #the hobbit / #tolkien <- posts about J.R.R Tolkien's series Lord of the Rings, 'lotr' for the trilogy, 'the hobbit' for prequel book, and 'tolkien' for the whole series.
#darkest dungeon <- my tag for posts about darkest dungeon. currently going thru the slow process of overhauling like a years worth of posts and reblogs onto the new tag (old one was 'dd tag', very unintuitive and vague.)
#dst tag <- another tag that needs to be overhauled into a new title, but i can't be bothered right now. this is the temporary home for all of my Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together posts.
#txt <- a somewhat outdated tag that i've used for so long i'm no longer sure what it's actually supposed to mean. right now, it's every text post i make that isnt a shitpost or a copypasta. i. think.
#fave <- posts that i've reblogged (or sometimes made myself) that i just adored. these are my all time favorite posts i've ever seen, my 'hall of honor', so to speak.
#save <- the twin brother to my 'fave' tag. save is where i put things that seem like they will be useful later. mostly art tutorials.

but don't let all this fool you - i'm not actually all that professional or well put together! welcome to my blog, fool. i hope you brought your own harpoons, because we're chasin' a biggie tonight!
crazy how i find myself thinking i've got a handle on it all finally and then i see the ways that other people tangle their lives together so easily and live so easily together with their friends and i feel like that girl at the top of the stairs painting by norman rockwell
getting fixated on something is funny because the first like week i have an insatiable need to tell everyone i know about it and spread the good word but by weeks 2 and 3 it becomes so intense and personal that even hearing it mentioned in public makes me sweat as if a dark secret was alluded to
I really really like it when the character hates her old self so much like yes girl!!!! I love the way you want the old version of you dead and how you don't want to think about how she shaped you as the person you are now🥰🥰🥰
Your uncle was hunted by puppets that is crazy I actually had two uncles who got hunted by puppets and they got hunted without any smoked meats or puppet knives to defend themselves so I basically know what you're talking about but even better when you think about it and I come from a proud lineage of puppet huntlets but yeah I totally get what you are saying even if you say it less beautifully than I me
coming out as aromantic and/or asexual to people is so exhausting because 10 years later they'll be like 'oh yeah I never actually understood what that really means' and it'll either be a situation where a) you've had multiple conversations about it over the years but your explanations didn't align with their pre-existing belief about asexuality and aromanticism so they just flat out didn't take in a word you said or b) they never mentioned it again after you told them, never asked a single question and never did any research on their own about the topic. I don't even know which one I find worse. Probably the silence.
if i had a nickel for everytime this week i got halfway thru putting on my shoes before realizing i hadn’t put on my pants yet, id have two nickels. which isnt a lot but its real inconvenient it keeps happening
