This blog post expands on my about me/interests tab :]

this blog post is a wip, once i get more into coding i am going to make it look good

YOU CAN IM ME WITHOUT ADDING ME TO FRIENDS - MY IMS ARE OPEN

Hi, I'm Ben, but you probably already know that, since you read my about me section right? :) Or you guessed based on my username. I use any pronouns, but prefer He, They :]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TABLE OF CONTENTS:

1. Adding to friends

2. How I found out about Spacehey/How I use it

3. Me and my interests

4. Blogposts about my interests

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, let's get some things out of the way. I won't add you if:

- we have no interests in common (if you post about interesting stuff I might add you even if our interests don't align)

-your only interest is watching anime, I'm sorry but idc about anime, except for some specific ones (csm, tshd)

-you have no blogposts

-i just don't wanna

Second, don't ask for discord or other social media if we haven't even had a proper conversation. I don't use social media all that much. I am much more active here, on Spacehey. (If you wanna play games w me then I am down to give you my dc even if we haven't talked much)

Third, english is my second (technically third ig) language, don't ask where I'm from. If I wanted that info to be public I would've specified it on my profile. But I'm okay to share that with someone once we get closer or if i simply just decide to mention it somewhere (eg. bulletin) I will.

Fourth. don't IM me if we don't share any interest. (BUT if you just wanna ask me something in private feel free to IM me!! :]). BTW I'm a dry texter especially cuz I use spacehey almost exclusively on laptop. I simply can't be bothered to keep copy pasting emoticons. But I do use some simple ones!! :o]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that boring stuff is out of the way let's get to the good stuff!! :3

Did I ever have myspace?

No, I'm far too young. Plus I'm not even sure if myspace was popular enough to be commonly used in the country I'm from.

Tho I do have nostalgia for the old internet, alot of it is bcs it took our family some time before we got a computer and smartphones. So I'm one of those genZers who do remember the early internet and shared family computer. (that only my older brother ever got to use (¬_¬).)

How did I find spacehey and what inspired me to sign up?

I saw a video on youtube by LuvStarKeiIRL who talked about their website and it inspired me to make my own. Then I heard them mention spacehey and realized that this might be the next best thing. Cuz I don't have much time to make a site plus I'm quite paranoid about malicious bots or whatever. So this will do for me for now :3 I actually quite like it here, I appreciate my spacehey friends. (Helloooooo!! (˶ᵔᗜᵔ˶)ﾉﾞ♡⭐︎✰)

Do I know any html/CSS?

No.

Tho I don't think I'm that clueless. I can understand the code's structure a little bit. I just don't care enough about coding to make time for it rn. Maybe some day in the future. (fun fact: I was actually teaching myself Python when I was 14. I don't remember anyhting tho).

How I use spacehey/blogposts I wanna make in the future:

I mainly post blogposts, browse other peoples blogposts and comment and give kudos. Tho lately I found myself posting alot to the bulletin tab as well. :]

(I think I felt anxious about spamming up my blogposts but now that I'm working on this one and an ART blogpost. I know that it will be easier for people to find my fav blogposts).

Blog posts to look forward to: (˶ᵔᗜᵔ˶)

-my Monster High and Ever After High doll collection

-meet the artist

-my sketchbook(s)

-how I review movies

-my favourite online/contemporary artists

-my gripe with Arcane season 2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General interests:

What do I even consider an interest?

An interest I actively partake in, so a hobby I activelly do. No matter how often. A long term interest.
I used to have in my about me that I wanna meet people who are into (art)history cuz I'm interested in it but only passively (I watch youtube videos but don't make time to research anything on my own). Hence why I removed it from my bio.

My main interest is drawing and since it takes a long time to draw most things, it strips me of free time to engage in other hobbies of mine.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

crafting/scrapbooking:

I make friendship bracelets sometimes and more recently got into making beaded charms. I try sewing sometimes but I am honestly horrible at it. I also made half of the sketchbooks I have.

Scrapbooking — I glue stuff in my sketchbook, sometimes purposefully. Tried junk journaling but turned into a junk collector so not doing that anymore.

Bookbinding — I make my own sketchbooks

thinking about media i watch/read/play:

What I mean is I basically let myself get inspired by anything and everything. I like to watch stuff I can think about alot and read into it and analyze. I started writing more bcs of that. Usually just for myself to figure out stuff or to think outside my head, sometimes you discover that you're able to think in an unexpected way. I also like to discuss whatever media I am into atm, if I have anything to say that is.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Video games: 

I am a pc gamer (laptop). I generally suck at games, but I play them anyway cuz it's fun. I try to play on normal mode but often choose the ez/story mode (eg. The Witcher 3 which I played primarly for the story).

I don't own any console. I emulated some games like Sonic A.I.R. or rhytm heaven and Pokémon. (I suck at rhytm heaven and haven't finished any pokémon game I had. Also haven't finished playing Sonic AIR but I liked it alot).

I struggle with playing story games. But I've played:

The Walking Dead — I played the whole series except the DLC of the first game.. Cuz I originally bought only the first part when it was on sale to see if I like it at all or not. Then It was on sale again and I bought the Definitive edition which included the DLC. That I didn't get around to play yet.

Devil May Cry 5 — Was fine, I think I would've enjoyed it more if I played the previous games. This game def felt like it was more for the long time fans. I sucked balls btw, played with that support mode or wtv

Stardew Valley — This is technically multiplayer as well but I prefer to play singleplayer. I like this game, it's great. I have a ton of mods. Both improvement of life and visual ones, also I've added some that has more weather variants and what not cuz I was starting to get bored. On that note the longest I played is Year 3 Spring I think? I am not sure. I haven't ever gotten to ginger island but I did restore the community centre and get into Skull Cavern and that's lowkey why I stopped playing bcs I was not ready yet to enter it and didn't have much to do otherwise.. I'm married to Haley.

Don't Starve Togheter — IM me if you wanna play!!

Batman: Arkham Knight —

Silent Hill 2 (remake) —

Ena Dream BBQ —

Disco Elysium —

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Multiplayer games I've played:

Roblox — I'm down to play if we're friends and had a convo pls play roblox w me!! (I miss having a gaming group). I don't play much myself but if you know good games on there then I am down to play.

League of Legends — EWWW played it wayy back in the past in like 2019-2021. I liked to play Ap characters like Zoe, Lux. I liked to play mid and support. And I liked to play Kai'sa specifically as Adc

Valorant — Played since it's release but stopped around 2024ish? bcs my laptop suddenly stopped being able to run it (Would be stuck in the loading screen for like half the 13 round game..) Or some bs like that so yeah.. I played Sage, and Fade the most. Sometimes Yoru, Sova, Brimstone and Breach

Overwatch — played it wayyy back when it cost money yeah. I still have the CD which included some free skins and whatnot. I liked to play Tank and Healer. (and maybe few DPS to change it up but rarely. I remember playing Sombra) I mained Orisa, Reinhard, D.va. Healers I mained are xyz

I still miss playing old OW and Valo especially, lol not so much. With the game chnaging all the time it would be a waste of time for me to play. Especially cuz my fav kinds of champions aren't rlly as efficient. Plus nowadays I view it as a waste of my time. While as a young teen I had tons of fun learning the intricate mechanics and micro and macro map management and what not.

I considered playing Marvel Rivals but ultimately decided not to. I don't wanna torture my old laptop.

I still sometimes miss Valo tho, cuz in comparison with league there's not much to learn (in terms of agents abilities) I liked strategizing while playing and adapting based on the enemys team tactics.. But oh well
