Other Muses

It's been 13 years since I posted here, so I figured it was time to do it again! Hi!


Name: Nim
Age group: Turned 40 this year, which sent me into a gloomy spiral I'm still trying to crawl out of.
Country: Italy
Subscription/Access Policy: Adults only.

Fandoms: Sonic the Hedgehog, TMNT (mainly 2k3, but also most of the stuff from before the sale to Viacom/Skydance), Mass Effect, Transformers (G1, BeastWars/Machines, Animated), Alien, Hellboy/B.P.R.D, and The Talos Principle. I combined "main fandom" and "other fandoms" in one because whilst I like many things, I'm only in these handful of fandoms, and I only focus on one at a time. They rotate like rotisserie chicken, and I have no control over which one will have me in a stranglehold, when, and for how long. Right now my full creative attention is on Sonic, but any of these could turn into my main fandom anytime!

Fannish Interests: Drawing and appreciating fanart, reading fanfic (I wrote one shots a few times, but it was several years ago, and I don't consider myself a writer), and occasionally I enjoy making icons and mood themes for DW. I used to enjoy creating fan-characters, but I kinda grew out of that, I think. I still like looking at other people's fan-chars, but I don't feel the need to make them myself. I'm big on hyping up and supporting fellow creatives, I think it's important now more than ever.

Favourite Movies: Alien, Avatar (the tall smurfs one), Hellboy Animated, Interstellar, Jurassic Park, Pacific Rim, Project Hail Mary, Signs.

TV Shows: Fringe, The Closer, Major Crimes, 2000s Law & Order: SVU, 2000s Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Drop Dead Diva, Pluribus, Severance, The Walking Dead, Gilmore Girls, Animaniacs, Sonic SatAM, Sonic Boom, Avatar the Last Airbender
Music: Poets of the Fall is my all time favourite band. Linkin Park, Enigma, Fall Out Boy, Flyleaf, Icon for Hire, In This Moment, Silversun Pickups, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Crush40
Games: Most Sonic games, The Last of Us, The Talos Principle, Alien Isolation, Echo, Mass Effect (the first two), Stray, Journey, Silent Hill 2 (and 3), Resident Evil, Spryro Reignited, Crash Bandicoot, Control, Portal.
Anime: Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon R, Sailor Moon S, Jungle Book Shōnen Mowgli, Kodocha, Ranma ½

I like to post about: I use DW as a journal, so I mostly talk about my life, my thoughts, things that annoy or anger me, stuff like that. I share my creative works sometimes, which is mainly fanart, but I also like to knit and crochet in the colder months. I'm fond of baking, and sometimes share photos.

About Me/Other Info: I suffer from depression, and my medication was taken from me earlier this year (long story- it's all in my journal) so I'm decidedly not doing well at all these days. I'm still trying to get hooked up with a therapist but I'm losing hope in the public healthcare system. So there's a lot of doom and gloom in my entries lately. I'm left leaning, queer, pro-abortion, childfree, against censorship, and on disability (I only have one eye, and the other is very nearsighted). I strongly suspect I'm on the spectrum, but I don't know where to even begin to try getting a diagnosis, if they even do that for people my age.

Hot button and dealbreakers: I despise genAI with the burning passion of a thousand blue stars, and genuinely think less of people who play with it willingly. I grew up with an almond mom, which has done massive damage to my relationship with food, and body. I'm still trying to heal from that, so if you're the type who can't look at a slice of cake without screaming about the sugars, thinks carbs are the enemy, and is obsessed with their protein intake, we won't get along (it should go without saying that I have no problem with people with dietary restrictions, I myself am currently following a mostly vegetarian diet for medical reasons). No TERFS, queerphobes, racists, conservatives, misogynists, pro-censorship/purity culture folks, you know, the usual.
