whois: aroceu
- ↳ Name: Arrow
- My online name and how I would like to be referred to on the internet, especially attributed to my username.
- "Sparrow" is for flair, ease of surname completion when making accounts, and to fully make my name a Xiaolin Showdown reference.
- ↳ Pronouns: any/all
- In the sense that the use of any pronouns at any level of frequency will never be misgendering me.
- I'm generally more used to she/her and they/them (or none), but only in that if you use other pronouns it may take me a moment to realize that you're talking about me, but I'm certainly not averse.
- Broadly speaking, I prefer gender neutral terms, unless context may require otherwise. On the other side of this, I like to use inconsistent gendered terms for myself in a gender neutral way, e.g. switching between masculine/feminine epithets when talking about myself.
- I prefer no honorifics in English regardless of gender. I don't mind any non-English honorifics, regardless of gender.
- ↳ Gender: lesbian
- My gender is lesbian as much as my orientation is because I consider my primary relationship with womanhood to be loving women, while being perceived as one is more of a frequent than voluntary experience. Somewhere in between loving women and often being perceived as one is my gender, I suppose.
- I would not say comfortably that I "am" a "woman" because that means as much to me as saying that I "am" any other gender.
- My gender is optional in the myriad of other elements of my identity and how I understand it; in that vein, anything I'm more inclined to in the realm of gendered language is a preference within the social necessity of gender, but not a boundary.
- ↣ Age: 30+
- ↳ Time Zone: UTC-4/5 (United States)
- My online activity/sleep schedule occasionally makes this less apparent. lol
- ↳ Favorites: storytelling, the communication between dichotomies in the form of tension, creative intent drawn from personal authenticity, and open-minded acceptance
- In other words: competition, romance, art, the love of the craft, the love of the game, the love of the process, self-fulfillment, the agency of others, building communities, and grace through the passage of time. Also colors, numbers, words, and music. And storytelling.
- ↣ Notes (optional) ↴
- Everything on this page is only to represent my understanding of myself in terms of what is important to me; beyond that, I have no desire to make assumptions about anyone else. I believe that rules are only as important as they are to those who want to follow them. Chase your bliss, live your truth, etc.
- If you're unsure about anything, just call me Arrow/aroceu and use whatever words you'd like and don't worry about it.
- Any preferences stated here blur much more for people I trust. So if we're friends, don't worry about it (even more.)
- I don't take myself half as seriously as this page may make me seem, I take pride in my inconsistency because it's who I am as a person, and I like using words wrong.
