i'm a puffin. i don't do much -- heyo ! I'm puffin / selkie, and this is my personal blog ! mostly I just reblog stuff that I think is neat / nifty, but I also occasionally post about my original characters, video games, my job, queer & neurodivergent goings-ons, life in general, & other shenanigans. I'm pretty chill and lowkey, and do my best to be friendly and supportive. mostly, I'm just a puffin not doing much and trying its best to survive ! good vibes only ♡ be advised my blog is an untagged mess ! the only thing I consistently tag are my original posts, otherwise... its the wild west. sorry ! however, I do have sideblogs with curated focuses where I try to organize and tag things ! they are sporadically used, but you can find links at the bottom of this post. feel free to say hi, I love meeting new folks and making new friends ! just make sure to read my pinned post completely before reaching out uwu puffin / selkie. any pronouns. 26. AuDHD + OCD. discord available. oc / writing / whump sideblog: @theguiltywriter
my pronouns.page ! my pinterest ! my spotify ! my toyhouse !
name - you can call me puffin or selkie ♡
identity - I mostly describe myself as an enby (aro ?)ace lesbian, however my gender identity is far more dubious. I'm somewhere on the nonbinary spectrum, between agender and genderfluid; recently I discovered cluttergender and chaosgender, and a combination of the two is how I'd say I generally align. my inside joke with myself is I've never met a gender or set of pronouns I didn't like !
pronouns - any, including neo, currently experimenting; I tend to lean towards it/that/they but she/her or they/them or a combo of both work
relationship status - single, and currently trying to figure whether I'm aro or not
contact - discord & steam are available upon request ! I am happy to add folks to text chat, voice chat, hang out, play games, & do lots of other fun stuff !
lets game together - warframe (sealkii), overwatch 2 (puffinshark#1610)
special interests - warframe, my original characters, making friendship bracelets / keychains / trinkets, themed / coordinated outfits + costumes
currently - part time student, part time fast food worker
aye ! you may refer to me as puffin or selkie, I go by and accept both. c: I am 26, living in the US, and neurodivergent. I have a cat named Gambit. I'm currently on online college student majoring in game development, plus I work part-time at bell of taco. otherwise I mostly just play video games, watch YouTube or cartoons, sleep, browse Tumblr, and sometimes - when I have the energy - I write / roleplay and hangout / play games with online friends. honestly, I'm just doing my best.
self-described as a queer af aggressively supportive neuro spicy* character collecting dumbass extraordinaire ! ♡ but mostly I just try to be friend shaped and supportive / positive. please don't be shy, I'm very easy going. uwu
I have AuDHD and OCD ( plus other flavors of neuro spicy ) so please be patient with me. I have a lot of trouble with anxiety and energy levels, which impacts my ability to engage with others and consistently interact with folks. I also want to disclose that, being neurodivergent, I struggle with communicating and understanding social boundaries, including understanding appropriate boundaries based on relationship labels (I can't tell the difference between friends and acquaintances, so I just treat everyone the same way with the same level of assumed proximity / intimacy); please jut know that I go into everything with love and good intentions, in an attempt to be the best version of me I can be. I appreciate folks being patient and understanding, as well as encourage folks to let me know if I have done something wrong or make them uncomfortable ! I greatly value direct communication and honesty.
in general, know that I can be slow responding to DMs. I am not fast ! me not responding is not an indication of me not liking you or not wanting to talk to you, it is literally just me struggling to find social energy and/or being distracted and/or being anxious and shy ! I do want to talk with folks, I'm just not always in a place to respond, even if I appear online or am posting. its not personal, I promise. ; w ;
note that I almost exclusively post / reblog from mobile.
other misc info;
being neurodivergent, I greatly enjoy the term "neuro spicy". it allows me to address a very heavy part of my existence with the same amount of whimsy I try to approach other aspects of my life. I use it mostly for myself, and never use it in serious discussions. if you think its cringe ok, but I like it and I ask you respect my casual use of it / in reference to myself.
I babble about my ocs A LOT, and folks are ALWAYS welcome to ask questions about them ! or literally anything I post about, whether it be one of my writing projects, fandom headcanons I have, au ideas, or something else.
if I do, say, reblog, etc anything that seem problematic or uninformed it most likely was not intentional, and was uninformed. I would rather be communicated with than have folks assume I've done something on purpose / with bad intent. we all make mistakes, and we always have room to grow and learn. I'm not asking other people to take time to educate me, I'm just asking to be given the benefit of the doubt and told if I've done something suspect or harmful.
my posts are free range; if it can be reblogged, go for it, no need to ask or check with me first. you're also welcome to comment ! just please be civil and polite, otherwise your comments will be deleted & you will be blocked. I also block anyone who engages with my posts in a way that makes me uncomfortable.
as stated, this blog has 0 organization. I know its a mess. kinda drives me crazy but. it is what it is. I honestly do not have the energy to tag things all the time. if I reblog something that needs to be tagged in terms of trigger/content warnings please let me know and I will do my best to remember !
as an addition to the above point: I sometimes reblog whump related content or discuss dark/mature topics in terms of my creative projects and original characters. I try to supply warnings where necessary. so, dead dove do not eat. don't like, don't follow/engage. also not a fan of purity culture around here. if you assign morals based on fiction then this blog/I am not for you.
I am currently experimenting with pronouns. the optimal set is currently they/it/that (as in what is THAT) but idk if I'll keep this. in general, I'm accepting of any and all pronouns (including neo pronouns). I used to default to they/she, which is still applicable, but in general I am trying to get used to using other pronouns, and want to be able to use a variety ! please respect that. as in, as an enby, if you refer to me exclusively using binary pronouns I am giving side eye.
any kind of discourse or drama is not welcome on my blog. and I don't really adhere to any ideological camps / sides, I'm just vibing on the internet.
if you've reached this point, here is a treat of your choosing ♡ I know I ramble / talk a lot, and have a weird knack for overexplaining / not mincing words. sorry lol
