ISTJ 6w5 Melancholy-Phlegmatic, April Taurus, Earth Rat
Autistic (Level 2 Support Needs, Semi-Verbal/Fluctuating Verbality), Dyspraxic (DCD), Delusional (Persecutory), Dysthymia/Depression (PDD), Anxiety (Social, Generalized & Panic Disorder), Physically Disabled (Chronic Pain) - All of these diagnosis' heavily affect me and my life - as well as my presence here, which is why I have listed them. I have other disorders as well but I either: don't feel comfortable disclosing them, or, feel that they aren't relevant enough to disclose here.
Ex-Southern Baptist. Skeptic. Apathetic Agnostic. Culturally Spiritual. - I am Southern and White Indigenous. I don't believe in any organized religion or faith. However, I do follow a lot of spiritual practices and folk beliefs due to cultural connections. I'm tolerant of all religions and extremely interested in Theology.
Extreme Leftist with devote political beliefs. I label myself as Communist (Marxism-Leninism-Maoism) however I am not very concerned with party politics. Leftist Unity > Party Politics. I mainly focus on Anti-Capitalism, Indigenous Sovereignty, Queer & Trans Rights, and Feminism. Anti-Colonial, Anti-Imperial, Anti-Fascist. LandBack, Indigenous Voice, Decolonization. - "Always Was, Always Will Be." - "Next to shooting indigenous peoples, the surest way to kill us is to separate us from our part of the Earth."
Contrary to what it may seem, many of my interests are unlisted on my profile. Extremely interested in horror, history, filmography, psychology and relating studies.
I suffer from extreme monotropism due to my Autism and have a hard time starting new media or learning about new subjects. Despite this I love recommendations, especially relating to film! I have two Special Interests: Professional Wrestling, and, Horror. I'm currently hyperfixated on fantasy (primarily dark & low fantasy) as well as medieval history (knights, especially.)
I collect many things, including, but not limited to: CDs, Cassettes,Vinyls, DVDs, Books, Magazines, Figurines & Postcards.
Extremely interested in Conservation & Zoology (Primarily ichthyology). I love ETHICAL & HUMANE zoos, aquariums, preserves and heritage sites. My favorite animals are Sharks (Primarily Nurse Sharks), Cheetahs, and Penguins (Primarily Arctic Penguins).
BYI
As I am Autistic I may unintentionally have miscommunications or misunderstandings in our interactions. I struggle with sarcasm, irony, and social cues in many situations. I also am unable to express myself or ideas correctly most of the time. I use long sentences, paragraphs and posts as well as overly-intricate words, thoughts and language in an attempt to avoid these barriers and describe myself or ideas properly. I can also be overly stubborn and devote in my beliefs, however, I try to avoid being hypocritical and close-minded. I oftentimes ask for reasoning behind changes, thoughts, ideas, or feelings. This is not me attempting to be rude or "get away" with something, it is simply how my brain works. It's greatly appreciated if you would tell me if something is bothering you directly!
Age limitations: I don't have an upper-age limitation to interact with me. I will add anyone as long as they are over the age of (or are) 13, as following with SpaceHeys guideline you must be over this age to have an account. However, if in the case you are over the age of 18, I most likely will not interact with you directly in IMs or on other third-party websites. I will interact with you on blogs, bulletins, forums, and other public places, however.
I like gore and shock content in media however I absolutely despise it in real life. If you are part of the "TCC" or watch real life gore, shock content, etc. do not interact with me. I will block you if you send a request. I think that there is a place for drastic imagery in art - and as such I consume and create such drastic imagery. However, if you take pleasure in some way, shape, or form from seeing real life suffering of humans, animals, etc. then I will look down upon you and think you are lesser or inferior in some way. Similarly, If you are a pro-shipper, com-shipper, pro-para, etc. do not interact with me. I believe that these things can, and in some cases, should be shown in media. However, I believe that these things should be treated with sensitivity and not condoned or defended. If you watch, defend or interact with media solely to see these situations shown, I believe you should seriously get therapy. Once again: If you enjoy, defend, or create this content, belong to this "community", or label yourself as such, do not interact with me.
Lastly, if you are Right-Winged (traditionalists, conservatives, fascists, etc.), please do not interact with me. As I am an extremely devote Leftist and Queer White Native person, I have moral and political qualms with these alignments. If you are a liberal or centrist, I will interact with you, however, please do not attempt to initiate any sort of political discussion with me. I am extremely stubborn in my beliefs and can be quite intolerant due to my autism - I do not intend on this, but it can and does happen.

Fun Facts:
I like Puppets & Animatronics (Mechatronic Puppets). My favorite Real Life Puppets are: Rolfe De-Wolfe (Rock-Afire Explosion), Choo-Choo (Rock-Afire Explosion), Animal (Muppets), and Beaker (Muppets). I'm also extremely fond of mascot horror that includes animatronics and other puppets.
My favorite color is Taupe, which is named after the french word for Mole. My second favorite is Beige.
My favorite season is Winter and my favorite holiday is Halloween.
I love all sub-genres of horror but I'm particularly fond of Psychological Horror, Body Horror, and Slashers. I especially like late 70s to early 2000s horror films.
I rarely start new shows due to my anxiety and I am quite fond of rewatching previously-seen media. However, I am always attempting to see new movies.
My favorite television network is the Movies channel. I unironically like teleshopping networks. I also unironically like advertisements - morally and politically I despise them, but something in my brain gets extremely excited when I see blatant brand placement in media.
Currently:

Tried to break this up as much as I could, so it would be easier to consume. I'll try to keep it updated regularly.
