activities and interests
Our interests and activities broadly tend to involve computers and other “high” technology, especially video games and Internet culture; culture more generally, especially queer and alterhuman identity, religion and philosophy, and socialistic politics; and associated art, such as solarpunk and xenofiction.
We've been playing Minecraft for more than a decade now. We started with Pocket Edition on an iPhone 3GS, and switched to what is now Java Edition when We got Our first laptop. We fell in love with the game pretty much instantly and it's been a core part of Our identity ever since. We've been running an SMP (Survival MultiPlayer server) for alterhumans for about two years, and another one for Our close friends since 2019.
We tend to hang out with alterhumans, furries, and other related weirdos online. We've been a furry and awakened as otherkin both since around 2016. We came out as trans in 2019 and accepted Our plurality in 2022. We and some of Our friends and acquaintances have lately been pushing to both take more control of Our online spaces and to create offline ones.
Our personal identity
We are an autistic dragon. Also a Canis. We come originally from a land where the mountains are older than life. We knew from the moment that We could know that the world viewed through Our eyes and hands was not the same world others felt. As We grew, We came to find others like Us: autistics; furries; otherkin and therians; lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and asexuals; trans folk; communists; ADHDers; plurals; fictionkin and fictives; divinekin; Mad folk... one can go on.
some of Us you might meet
Abra
Abra is a shapeshifting half-fae who's been around a while. It likes to hang out in human or furry form usually. It usually handles most of Our day-to-day human activities.
Aspen
Aspen was an imaginary friend, once. Of those active here, it has been conscious the second longest. It's usually a wyrm, a sinuous and bouncy dragon, but it has many kintypes it might take the form of. It originates from some spirit world of which it has no memory when it's fronting. It describes its gender as “Gandalf big naturals”. It is passionate in love and anger alike.
Aspen is a wizard, a scholar and practitioner of magic (computers, and also actual magic). It is also a devotee of Orphion, Light Incarnate. It loves playing with language.
Avery
Avery is a very recent walk-in. He was isekai'd here after his encounter with a haunted Minecraft world. While he is glad to have escaped his lonely life that seemed to not be going anywhere, he misses a new friend he had made and what could have been. He is a genderqueer gay man and is questioning a slime heart- or kin-type. He was very stubborn in his past life, and tries to carry that forward.
Avery is taking this opportunity to explore an interest in computers that didn't work previously for a variety of reasons.
“The Child”
The one known only as “The Child” or “The Kiddo” is actually the longest-standing member of Our group: nearly, if not completely, as old as Our body. This one is a dog and an auglur. They might be a little boy, a little girl, or both.
They very much enjoy My Singing Monsters, and music in general.
Gigi
Gigi is a bird-man, a blue and gold macaw to be precise. Sometimes, he is a watcher, a monstrous, angel-like creature. His species does not have gender, at least not how humans do, and his masculinity is incidental.
He enjoys technical Minecraft.
Neil
Neil is... human? She likes being human, anyhow. She will yell at you if you try to hurt queer kids.
Selene
Selene, not to be confused with the ancient goddess she is named for, is a young, wolf-headed goddess of secrets and weird kids. She comes from darkness, the sort found in basements and backrooms. She is a butch lesbian.
Selene likes such things as caves, The Backrooms, and current popular mascot horror games that shall not be named.
