About
Hello! I'm Magpie, a queer trans-femme in her 20's. I use she/her and it/its pronouns. I've got a massive number of hobbies, and enjoy all sorts of media, so I've listed just a bit below.
Hobbies
- Violin: I've been playing violin for just under 2 years now! It's been a hard journey (especially as a self taught violinist) but I've had a very good time with it, and find that it often acts as a grounding mechanism for me, so I use it when trying to relax too. I've been in two separate orchestras, and play a mix of classical and pop-culture music. The Studio Ghibli themed concert I played in was definitely my favorite!
- Programming: You don't wind up with a handcoded website unless you're into programming (or a masochist I suppose). I picked this up as a fun way to learn webdev, but have also programmed a discord bot for my personal server.
- Writing: I write short stories! Right now I'm trying to get some of my pieces into an indie magazine. I write a handful of things, but some common topics are transness, mental health, erotica and scifi/fantasy. Please give them a look in the Writing tab!
- Art: While this has largely fallen by the wayside, I still do a bit of painting from time to time. I'm a big fan of dragons and have done a large charcoal drawing of them, used to do a ton of little doodles of them too! More recently, I've done a handful of self portrait watercolors. I also draw inspiration from media I like, and have painted paintings and jackets based on games and shows like SIGNALIS, Celeste and Dungeon Meshi.
- Reading: I'm a big scifi and fantasy fan. On top of that I chew through queer stories all the time, feel free to ask me for book recommendations! One of my favorites is This is How you Lose the Time War.
