Hello everyone!

For those of you who would like a quick summary of me, this is the section for you! ♥ [Profile last updated April 10, 2024]

💜 I'm 35 years old ~

🧡 I live with two cats and three dogs (see the bottom of my profile for pics!), my partner, and one other roommate

💙 I'm a big ol' nerd and I'm always happy to talk about it. Anime? Video games? Hyperfixations of all kind? Please tell me about yours!

💜 I really love stickers and sparkly things!

🧡 I'm part of the LGBT community (I fall under the asexual umbrella)

💙 My favorite colors are Purple, Orange and Blue~

💜 As far as swaps go, I try to send as soon as I can after I get assigned a partner. I mark my swap as "sent" as soon as I get home from dropping my mail off~

🧡 If I get a swap from you, unless it's completely off the mark from the prompt, you're going to get a 5. As long as there's thought put into it I'm happy to give you a heart ♥ as well~

💙 I try my best to check in with my swap partners if I haven't received a swap by 3 weeks after the deadline for USA swappers (I'm endlessly patient with international). I promise I will ALWAYS try to contact you before I rate if I haven't received a swap!

❌ I put it at the top of my dislikes, but I'll write it here for people who don't want to scroll: Please stop commenting on my name. I hate it when people do that. A lot.

I have a soft spot for nu-metal, j-rock and j-pop, and mainstream pop music. But, honestly, as long as it's catchy I'll probably enjoy it! I'd also love to get some music recs ♥

Some of my favorites, in case you were curious:

🎵 System of a Down

🎵 Kesha

🎵 The Protomen

🎵 Linkin Park

🎵 SymaG

🎵 Ado

🎵 The Offspring

🎵 Creepy Nuts

🎵 Kanjani8

I have a lot of things that I enjoy making, but the things I'm most consistent about are:

💖 Cross stitching

💖 Collage (usually postcards)

💖 ATCs

💖 "Childish" crafts

💖 And, I'm currently really into beaded jewelry!

Unfortunately, I am not a very talented artist in the drawing and painting department, though I do still enjoy doodling. I like joining drawing and coloring swaps~

And, as for what I'd like to receive?

Anything at all! ♥ I love seeing other people's creativity. Send me things that make you happy to create and I promise you that I will be happy to receive them~

As a general rule, I love romantic comedies ♥ Bring me a romantic comedy and I'll happily watch it, probably more than once. But, I also really love comedies, sci-fi, and adventure movies!

My absolute favorites:

🎬 Blazing Saddles

🎥 Young Frankenstein

🎬 Ever After

🎥 Clue

🎬 Spirited Away

🎥 Star Trek (2009)

🎬 You've Got Mail

🎥 most of the Monster High movies 💜

I've been watching a lot of speedruns and playing a lot of games since lockdown in 2020, and video games introduced me to a community that's helped keep me sane these past few years ♥ So, I'd say they're pretty important to me!

Here is a list of some of my favorites:

🎮 The Legend of Zelda (pretty much all of them, but my favorites are Majora's Mask, Skyward Sword, and Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom)

🎮 Pokemon (definitely all of these, but I'm particularly fond of Blue/Red, Let's Go Eevee, Sword/Shield, and Legends: Arceus. I'm also a Pokemon Go player!)

🎮 Katamari Demacy / Reroll

🎮 Soul Calibur (mostly 2 and 3)

🎮 Fable (the first one only)

🎮 Undertale / Deltarune

🎮 In Stars and Time / Start Again: A Prologue

🎮 Pretty much all of those Nintendo party games ♥

🎮 anything by the publisher Supergiant (but I'm particularly fond of Hades)

🎮 games with a dual card collection / match 3 element (my favorite is Gems of War)

🎮 Ryu Ga Gotoku / Like a Dragon

🎮 Splatoon 2 & 3

🎮 Tetris

Though, honestly, I also love a ton of older titles. So if it's video games in general, it will probably make me smile!

I don't watch a lot of shows as they air on television since I'm a little too attached to my computer for that sort of thing ♥ I'm more of a streaming service kind of girl.

That said, here are some of my favorite shows and anime titles:

✨ TV SHOWS ✨

📼 Competition Shows (Great British Baking Show, RuPaul's Drag Race, Face Off, Blown Away... Things that show off creativity!)

📼 Hospital Procedural Dramas (House MD, Code Black, things like that)

📼 Ted Lasso, Schitt's Creek

📼 The Witcher, The Umbrella Academy

📼 What We Do In The Shadows, Our Flag Means Death

📼 Good Omens, The Sandman

📼 Avatar The Last Airbender

✨ ANIME ✨

🎀 Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (my favorite of all time!)

🎀 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (mostly part 5)

🎀 My Hero Academia

🎀 Digimon Adventure and Adventure 02

🎀 Cardcaptor Sakura

🎀 Cowbow BeBop, Trigun, Outlaw Star

🎀 Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba

🎀 Jujutsu Kaisen

🎀 Spy x Family

🎀 Yu-Gi-Oh (but only Duel Monsters really~)

I also have a super long MyAnimeList page!

I've kind of fallen off of watching it as much as I used to, but I'll always be a huge nerd about it at heart ♥ If you want to talk with me about your favorites, or give me recs, I'd love to hear it!

I imagine we're all collectors here, yes? ♥ So here's a little list of things that I like to collect in case you wanted to know a little more about me:

💜 Stickers (any kind, really! I don't mind reward stickers or childish stickers, either. I think they're cute!)

🧡 Washi tape (All are lovely~)

💙 Paper scraps (I like to use them to collage! I especially love anything with HELLO on it)

💜 Notebooks (I love ones that have little embellishments or decorations on the pages)

🧡 Pens (so many pens, but I enjoy fine-tipped ones in odd colors the most)

💙 Art that friends and penpals have sent me. My partner and I have a wall covered in cork board to show off all of the art we've received!

💜 Keychains (Usually cutesy things or things that relate to my more specific interests, but I also love handmade keychains!)

🧡 Pins of all kinds! Enamel, acrylic, metal pinback, whatever!

💙 Plushies, usually of video game things or of cute animals

💜 Cavalier King Charles Spaniel things

🧡 French Bulldog things

💙 Cat things ♥ Especially orange tabby stuff, since it reminds me of my little boy Frumpkin

💜 Octopuses, jellyfish, crabs, sharks ♥ Though, honestly, I love most sea creatures and marine life

🧡 Figures, plushies, art, etc of the pokemon Eevee

💙 Figures, plushies, art, etc of the mob Enderman from Minecraft

💜 Basically anything of Clawdeen Wolf from Monster High (but all MH is good!)

🧡 Fidget toys - the weirder the better! I like trying out new ones~

❌ People commenting on my name. I really tried to just ignore it for awhile, but it gets exhausting hearing it over and over. Please don't? ♥

❌ Anything with strong scents. I have awful asthma and weak lungs, so my body tends to not like anything heavily scented.

❌ Loose glitter. I capital-L-Love glitter as a decoration, don't get me wrong, but glitter bombs aren't fun for anyone!

❌ Anything having to do with drugs. I don't generally mind them or people who use them, but I can't / don't want to, so that sort of thing is wasted on me, I'm afraid. I'll just toss it or pass it on.

❌ Gore. My partner really enjoys horror tropes, so I'm happy to receive spooky things, but gory stuff and body horror gives me nightmares 😅

❌ Harry Potter things. Please don't waste them on me, because they're going straight in the trash.

❌ Homophobia, transphobia, disrespecting anyone's religion or belief system, and that sort of thing.

🟢 Side note 1: I'm not religious myself, but my partner's family and coworkers are. Most religious items, Christian or otherwise, are fine to send me as long as they aren't disrespectful. My mother in law actually loves it when I pass along pretty Christian items for her to use in junk journal projects!

🟢 Side note 2: I'm not easily offended, so if you want to send me things with swear words, nudity, or something just plain strange, I'll still enjoy it! ♥

Hello, my name is Frumpkin!

I am a nervous little orange tabby cat and I was born with only one eye. It took me a very long time to warm up to my family, but now I scream if my mom doesn't give me my morning head kisses.

My favorite activities are shaking my tail like a rattlesnake when my parents get home, stealing the plastic from the top of candy bags, and scent marking my siblings (often against their will) 🧡 I don't like cat treats or people food, but I really like toys that make a plastic crinkle!

Henlo, I'm Eurydice Sage!

I go by Eury for short, pronounced "Yuri." Of course, I also go by "Problem" and "Mischief." My mom tells me it's because I am very good at being a cat.

I really like tuna, chicken flavored cat treats, and waiting until my mom is playing a game that she can't pause to step right in front of her! I also really love my grandma and climbing up on shelves that I know I'm not supposed to be on 💚 I love hunting bugs, but I'm terrible at it. Mosquitos are just too fast!

Hihi, my name's Noir Anya!

I'm a baby (but I turned 1 year old on August 31st!), and I like to do baby things! I like running in circles in our backyard! I like to break the squeakers in my toys! I like playing fetch until my mom's arm hurts! 🖤

I'm a very destructive girl, but only with my toys! And my plastic toy box! My mom takes away my toys allllll the time to put new squeakers and stuffing in them, though! I like to try to steal them when she works on them! And I also really, really, reallllly like to pop tennis balls! I'm SUPER good at it!!

Hi, I'm Bentley Bean and this is my sister Talula Rose!

I'm the cute little brown Frenchie 🤎 I'm an absolute menace, but my family still gives me all of the veggie treats I could want, so I don't think they mind too much.

My sister is deaf but everyone says she's still way smarter than me 💛 She also sheds more than me. Her little white hairs get stuck to everything!

We're delicate little dogs, but we still get into plenty of trouble. (My family says that they have BOTH of our vets on speed dial.) Still, we get everything we could ever want! We have our own squishy chair in the dining room, we get to sleep under the table while our mom plays cards with her sisters every night, and our mommy mixes our food extra special so that it's tasty AND healthy. It's like having our own personal chef 🤎💛
