First post! Who am I + what I've been up to

Whew, with a whirlwind of new events comes another place for me and a ton of other creatives to post. But hey- this place seems to allow extensive yapping, and that's my specialty! This is coming from someone who just finished editing their website manifesto, and it was so very long...

... Anyways.

Okay, but who ARE you?

Hi, I'm Mavis! You can use she/he/they pronouns for me. I'm an artist and streamer using an avatar/persona in place of my actual face, because pretending to be a magical creature online is way more fun. Here's more about me if you'd like to read:

The Moon Palace | About Mavis

Hi! I'm Mavis, but you can also call me Red! I'm a queer, neurodivergent artist and creative from Puerto Rico! I currently live in the US mainland with my spouse, Varrick, and our cat, Rei! I speak English, and am relearning Spanish (Latin American dialect, A2-B1 level). I am Borikén Taíno (Arawak), and in the process of reconnecting with my roots. I am Two-Spirit, but I also label myself as non-binary and genderfluid. Because of this, a lot of my characters, including my own personas, are genderfluid and can change their appearances to suit their preferred presentation. My hobbies include drawing, writing, listening to music, editing videos/vlogs, text blogging, thinking about fictional characters I'd love to kiss, and collecting Clefairy plushies. I'm autistic (with ADHD, too!) - so I don't know how to like things casually. I go all-out, especially with my hyperfixations and special interests. I do art and streaming as my full-time job, and I love it! I kind of live online, and don't really go out anywhere... but I try to touch grass when I can. (I sadly can't work a "regular" job due to being quite disabled and chronically ill.) I specialize in drawing plus-size cuties, and art with themes based on my real-life experiences. The best way I can describe my art is whimsical fantasy anime, with a touch of trauma and a lot of gay people. I'm also a practicing witch! I'm a polytheistic Pagan, working mostly with the Hellenistic and Egyptian pantheons. My patron deity is Aphrodite. I've been doing my witchy business for about 5 years. In addition to everything else, I love thinking about and talking about my OCs.

To make a long story short: I'm 33 years old, I'm Puerto Rican (Borikén Taíno, if you're a cousin!) and I love art, video games, and fictional men. I'm very openly queer, and loud about it.

What do you plan on talking about here?

Lots of things! I want to yap more, and other people seem to want to read my yaps or listen to them if they're watching my Twitch streams - so here I am, doing just that! I'll probably talk about:

My OCs, whom I really love a lot and am proud of

Video games (My favorite games are DELTARUNE and Overwatch)

My cat, Rei

My husband, Varrick

Crossposts from my Neocities blog

... and lots of other stuff!

While I don't plan to post any adult content here, I should note that my pages aren't suitable for minors. I swear, and sometimes I even talk about fictional characters doing the nasty. You have been warned.

Why should I care about any of these things?

You don't. It would be cool if you did, though. I love meeting new people that are chill and who share similar interests!

I hope you'll enjoy my silly little blog. And remember, there's only one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism:

(holy shit I love the formatting here lmao)
