Hallo, I am Jaybird! This is my ✨new and improved✨ (albeit WIP) intro post! (link 2 the old one at the bottom!)
I am a trans man, but I'm pretty chill about pronouns, so he/him, they/them, and it/its work!
I am a butch lesbian! (lesboy, if you must.)
I own three cats! I'll post pictures of them occasionally :3
DNIs are in my bio, but they boil down to "don't be overly freaky or at all bigoted." However, I am often trigger-happy with the block user button & LOVE blocking tags!!! 🤪
I LOVE ASKS!!! If the button to send an ask is present, asks are VERY welcome!!! however i am bad at talking to people + tumblr asks are often glitchy for me, so replies can take anywhere from 1 minute to 1 century to arrive.
I am autistic & ADHD! I will be very blunt, opinionated, & stubborn, and will usually not understand when people are joking! I appreciate tone tags.
I know a tiny bit of German! I was learning via Duolingo, but quit because of them replacing real staff with AI.
Termination counter: 1
To keep this from being too long, I'll put a cut here. Fandom stuffs, tag key, oc info, and My Images are all below the cut!
Latest update to this post: changed position of Homestuck bulletpoint in the fandoms list, added "#ake gone wild" tag to list of post-termination tags.
The following are all fandoms i'm notably aware of & exposed to, as well as short explanations of my relationship to the media & it's fandom. They are seperated into five sections based on how much I like them.
SECTION ONE: I'm openly in these fandoms! I like to talk about them!
Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse: there's a lot of cool people in the fandom, but i mostly lurk in the tags and do my own thing! FUCK the secret edits to the dregs editons tho.
Tui T. Sutherland's Wings Of Fire: epic gay & transgender dragons, yippee!!
Dana Terrace (& co)'s The Owl House: another one i haven't talked about for one william years 😅 rest assured, i still like owl house! i would sell my soul for raeda
Gene Roddenberry (& co)'s Star Trek: i was born and raised in this fandom. i especially love jett reno, data, & mcspirk! plz no lower decks spoilers, but i've seen everything else other than the movies.
Kathryn Lasky's Guardians Of The Ga'Hoole and Wolves Of The Beyond: ...is there a fandom for these? i don't know, but it's a pleasure to potentially be part of it!
SECTION TWO: I'm not part of these fandoms! I know of them, but I'm not interested in them!
Hazbin Hotel & Helluva Boss: mostly just not really shows i share a sense of humor with. i don't think the creator is a very good person tho.
Welcome To Nightvale: cool ominous vibe, don't know anything else about it.
The Magnus Archives: wtf happened to jonathan sims. not that into podcasts tho so prob never gonna find out.
Project Hail Mary: a recent one that i'm just not interested in. don't rly have an explanation rn.
SECTION THREE: I don't like these ones, and will often take action to not associate with them!
J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter (AND ALL ASSOCIATED MEDIA): jkr can go fuck herself. No "but"s.
Neil Gaiman (& Terry Pratchett)'s Good Omens: ok secretly i do like the actual media, but given what neil has done, i am uncomfortable with interacting with it or related content.
SECTION FOUR: It's complicated!
The Erin Hunter Team's Warrior Cats (AND ALL ASSOCIATED MEDIA) You may have noticed that this one was in section three for a longass time! in truth, i'm not completely uncomfortable associating with warrior cats, i just had some shitty experiences with the fandom & couldn't shake my qualms about the way the series handled certain issues. there are a lot of nicer people here on tumblr, so this one gets to be a special little guy that starts a new category, because i frankly don't know how to feel about warrior cats!
Satoshi Tajiri's Pokémon: pokémon is cool as fuck but i don't consider myself part of the fandom!
Alina Kovaleva (& co)'s Metal Family: i think i posted about this once and then never again! super cool show, but never really found anyone to engage with here on tumblr, so i kinda stopped engaging with the fan-content altogether.
Andrew Hussie's Homestuck: currently being convinced to read through it sometime by one of my besties. don't know very much yet.
SECTION FIVE: Fandom-in-laws/fandoms my buddies are really into!
Splatoon
(section wip)
general listing off my non-fandom interests:
I LOVE: creepy shit. bones, taxidermy, vintage & macabre. also; rocks, gems, minerals, fossils, nature & animals in general, radioactivity, minecraft, spore, human art & writing, women's wrongs, and a selection of video games and music!
I LIKE: reading, repetitive yard work, scrolling tumblr or youtube shorts, correctly identifying AI-generated images or videos, stardew valley, the sims 4, and silly little memes! (i live under a rock and i don't know anything more recent than skibidi toilet.)
I'M NEUTRAL ON: needless politics-related discourse, cooked onions, memes more recent than skibidi toilet (when not bombarded with them.)
I DISLIKE: cruel memes & jokes, being bombarded with whatever is the new meme, suboptimally-salted cashews, being forced to play horror games.
I HATE: check the dni list. except nsfw accounts, ik y'all're just chilling and trying to get off. raw red onions are another hatred tho.

rules for my art
i try to be on the lax side about what people are 'allowed' to do with my art, so long as i'm not completely uncredited. but
if u feed my art to a generative ai/large language model, i will, metaphorically speaking, light the house on fire with us both in it. same goes for if you make chatbots of my ocs & fankids; you could deadass just ask me to roleplay as them!
pretty much anything else goes tho! taking inspiration, tracing for practice, idc! just give credit where it's due!
copy&pasted timelines info:
timelines is a fully original story, created solely in the depths of my mind! though some parts of it were/are inspired by outside medias, it's grown different enough that i'm comfortable calling it original anyways.
the general gist of timelines is that it tells many stories, in various wildly expansive worlds, all teeming with adventure, glory, and trauma. why do i torture all these people so.
timelines has not yet been written anywhere public, but i hope to eventually get it published as a series of novels! if i ever find the time and energy to. actually write. hehe.
here's some brief summaries of the main Lore Stories of Timelines, to incite people to be interested in it:
1. The Dragonfolk's Plight
introducing my original species, the Dragonfolk, and how one fiery young woman took them from hybrids on a tiny island to one of the most formidable & mighty kingdoms of Zherit, also known as The Mainland!
2. Queen Mushroom & Her Children
back with the Dragonfolk, this time with their fourth queen, and her adventures in building orphanages and adopting, i shit you not, 2 dozen children. because she had a dream where some guy told her she didn't have a uterus and she believed them. and they were actually right..
3. How Not To Make A Lasting Political Alliance, A Tale From The Avians.
also known as 'this alliance took a miracle, let's uphold it for tens of thousands of years', this story introduces the Avians, and the fact that a disabled, emotionally constipated twenty-year-old raised in a lab should NOT be left alone with the similarly-aged Dragonfolk King. only relatively unwanted children will be born of this brief garden fling, and the strife it causes will lead to eternal Ghost Drama.
4. The Legend Of The Harpies
this tragic tale introduces the Avians' allegedly-extinct cousins, The Harpies. Raised in the same lab and abandoned as failures, they've long since been thought to have all passed on either in the fire that took down the lab, or shortly after. however, jumping thousands of years to the modern day, a recent trail of four-winged "Avian" hybrids suggests otherwise... 👀
