๐ฉท๐๐๐ฉต ๐๐ชบ hello hello hello! welcome to my cozy little spot. i love reading and nature walks and watching old cartoons and collecting music boxes and making art poorly. i love every kitty in existence. please call me Thimble! (they/them) ๐๐๏ธ๐ฑ๐งธโจ
hello! welcome to my little hiding space. (you found me!)
>> just glance at the bits highlighted with color for the most important stuff if you don't wish to read.
you can call me Thimble. my pronouns are they/them, but i may sprinkle in others sometimes. i am non-binary, specifically agender. iโve had a complicated relationship with my gender since childhood, and i may use this space to explore those messy feelings. i am asexual, and iโm probably biromantic. i often refer to myself as just queerโwhich i understand is a divisive term, but it feels like home to me, and i donโt intend to censor the word.
in the material world, i am 27 years old. i do not feel that age ever, and i am trying to overcome my guilt in not being an โadult.โ so much of my adulthood has been a blur to me, and because i isolated myself for over half of the last ten years, i don't have much experience in many facets of life. it feels like everyone i know is getting married or having children--and i would be happy with just another cat or two or four! i am just working on loving and trusting myself, my true self, and growing brave enough to make the art that speaks to me without shame. i want to become more like myself and less like the person everyone thinks i ought to be.
this is a comfort blog for me. i intend for it to be filled with a wide variety of nostalgia, gentle imagery, and possibly some personal journaling. i will only post the things iโve written when iโm in a positive state of mind; this will not become a vent blog. even if i decide to write about some darker feelings, i want to keep my posts hopeful! i want to be thoughtful and creative here. i am like a little dragon, and i hope to use this space to gather up art and asmr and craft ideas and advice so i can look at my horde when i'm feeling gloomy and feel warm and safe.
i have been grappling with pretty severe anxiety and bad thoughts for the past several years, and even though i am in therapy and taking medication for it, i find myself often drifting into 'a different place' when i am in stressful situations. i have vivid memories of being young, but very few of much of my twenties so far. children's media has kept me happily distracted during some of my darkest moments, and when i'm afraid, i withdraw into my shell like a hermit crab. (i'm a cancer sun, after all.) i would rather use age regression as a tool to recover from the upsetting parts of my life, instead of it being involuntary and making me feel helpless. i regress (at least, i think i regress) to elementary school age, between the ages 6 and 11, when i was both very sure of myself and oblivious to the horrors of the world and the bad things happening in my own life--and the ways that would ultimately affect me.
this space will be sfw only, but some media featured may skew a bit more mature. there will be no sexual content unless it is an innuendo in a piece of children's media (think Animaniacs or the Muppets); there will be no gore, and any violence will either be cartoonish or presented in a way intended for children/all-ages anyway--think Spirited Away or Avatar: The Last Airbender. if a post itself contains anything i think might be triggering, i will specifically label it with that. i may also swear a little bit!
i would like to say โminors dni,โ however, i know how easy it is to lie about your age on the internet. instead, i will provide some advice for any minors possibly reading this: please be cautious in the ways that you use this website. this may feel like the only place you can be truly yourself, and that can feel incredibly liberating. unfortunately, there are those who may use your sincerity and vulnerability to harass and take advantage of you. it is good and normal to have adults to look up to, but if any adults here are eager to get close to you, that is alarming. i donโt mind if you follow or like/reblog, but please do not interact otherwise--and i will try to only reblog/like your impersonal/aesthetic posts.
if i follow you and you wish i didnโt for any reason, like if me being older than you makes you uncomfy, you can message me so i can unfollow you, or feel free to block me. no hard feelings! i am trying to curate a safe, cozy place for myself, and i donโt want to keep anyone from feeling the same way. protect yourself! if i say or do something that is offensive or rude or dangerous if any kind of way, and you wish to let me know, i really do appreciate it. i try to be gentle and thoughtful, but iโm only human. even though i've used this website for a very long time with a different blog, i don't have experience with every aspect of this community, and i may not understand everything. if i misinterpret any aspect of your identity, please assume that i am just ignorant and not intending harm--and if you may, please tell me so i can be more mindful.
building on that, please donโt interact with this blog if the majority of your content is explicitly violent or sexual, especially ddlg content. i wonโt yuck anyoneโs yum, but this is Not the Place for that and i will block you. my age regression is absolutely not sexual. otherwise, it's okay if your blog isn't totally sfw.
i will not tolerate racism, misogyny, queerphobia (including homophobia, aphobia, biphobia, transphobia, and transmisogyny), ableism, or bigotry of any kind. also, i hate terfs.
on a lighter note: i will be posting mostly things that make me feel nostalgic, wistful, whimsical, magical, and cozy. i have too many interests and favorite things to list right now, but have no fear! i will be incredibly annoying about all of the things i love in no time. but i love my cats most of all, and that is the most important thing for anyone to know.
i want the build-a-bear of my sweet piano so badly, but i don't have it in me to spend $50 on a plushie right now, and i also don't particularly have the space for a big plush ๐๐ฉท๐ฅบ
