Hi!

I'm Eli (any pronouns), I've been making backup accounts in a few sites just in case Tumblr gets nuked and I came across the Fediverse, I still don't understand much of it or how it works so I hope I'm doing this right. This does look like the closest thing to Tumblr though, so I'll probably be slowly posting all my art from there here just to be safe. In the meantime I'm still more active there ( also @/cosmiclion), for all its faults that hellsite is still my home and the only way I'll fully switch to here is if it gets burned to the ground and I get kicked out and have the door slammed on my face.

I like to draw and occassionally take photos :D I also like to write sometimes but not as often, I don't know how writers do it but honestly mad respect.
Currently hyperfixating on Black Butler and Yuri!!! On Ice but will post original art and concepts and fanart of other things I'm into.
I'm a bigass furry but I draw all kinds of characters (the lion is my fursona btw!).
Also keep in mind that I'm an adult and I enjoy making NSFW art often.

A useful Gemini feature called "Talk Live about" that was exclusive to a few phones is now available on a much wider scale. "Talk Live about" lets you show Gemini what's on your screen and have a conversation about it.

Hey there. Figured I should make an introduction post of some sort, so here we go.

My name is Claire. You might know me by the handles chapien, chappydev, chapien_byte, chappybte, ClaireByte. But really, just Claire is fine. I'm an asexual transwoman living in the Pacific Northwest. I have kind of bad opsec, but I've been online for so long that I've kind of accepted that my privacy is dead. I am however trying to move away from big social network sites and into self hosting as much as I can.

I have a blog where I write short stories, as well as posts about mental health and LGBT issues.
https://chapien.net/

You can find links to other social media I use, including tumblr, bluesky, and a few other fedi places, at my
self hosted linktree.

You can message me on the Matrix
@chapien:transgirl.cafe.

A few things about me. I have ADHD, OCD, and OCPD (which is different from OCD). My OCPD can make me very argumentative, and I can lash out. I am trying to be better, and I have been improving. That said, I do have a request on how you can make this easier for me. I have a flowchart that I follow when I feel an argument is escalating. If I ask for something to be dropped, please drop it. In the interest of openness, I've attached that flowchart. If you have any questions about OCPD, I'd be happy to answer them!

Finally, my account is directed to an 18+ audience. Do not message me if you are under 18.

Walking towards progress... had to restrict any kind of swears and bad behavior using regex... had to change some stuff and actually perform a "server is now non-toxic" shift just so I could make one. but; there is a promising new way to create a space where I could not only do artwork, but actually listen out to people. will take a bit of work, though. it´s a start. that option is just... stressful. :/ #art #MastoArt #artist #design #about
