The following page is brought to you in living color on T-V-T.

I’ve been feeling kind of strange lately…

And now. Back to your regularly scheduled formatting.

Some of the older incarnations of my page did the whole "here's a list of tropes to describe me" thing, which is fun and all, but I've been here long enough (thirteen years, as of writing — joined in 2010) to have grown and changed. And there's something about trying to do that now that feels a little disingenuous. Like, you'd be getting a version of me, but not the one that actually exists in real-time.

The important things worth knowing...

• I'm a blerd in my twenties on the autism spectrum.
• I have a fascination with media and pop culture that keeps me invested in TVT on a base level.
• I love music, especially electronica (in almost every form it takes!). I also (used to) make my own, and as mentioned earlier, am a radio host (with a show called The Heavyset on WRFL, the best college station on Earth).
• The overarching style that I present myself with lives between the worlds of technological fascination and pure, earnest emotion. There's lots of lightning and the color green involved. I call it the Tresthetic.
  • ⌘ ^note  I use a looped square as a calling card for myself on the internet. It's best known as the command key symbol on Macintosh keyboards, but it's also used to mark attractions or places of interest in Scandinavian countries. In days of yore, it was considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
• Weird, odd, and brilliant stuff on the edges of the zeitgeist is the kind of media I live for. Indie games, comics, and music make up a big chunk of what I consider my favorite things, along with little-known cartoons.
• I'm still learning, but as an adult, I've discovered that I quite enjoy tabletop gaming. D&D's been the impetus, but I plan on diving deeper into other games and genres of it if I can.
• I've been on Tumblr even longer than I've been on TVT. Which is saying something.
• I am a perpetual work in progress.

Oh, and while I'm thinking about it: the fellow sharing the stage with me in the pic up top is Reverb, a character from a homebrew D&D campaign I was in a few years ago. Think "jovial, badass French robot bard with a keytar" (cough) and you've got his vibe down.

Alright, that was cute. Can you tell us what stuff you like now?

If you insist. Here are some of the things that have stuck with me over the years.

• Adventure Time
• Black Mirror
• the Borderlands games
• Bravest Warriors
• Calvin and Hobbes
• Cupcake & Dino: General Services
• the Dead Space series
• the Destiny series
• Eureka Seven
• Final Space
• FLCL
• Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
• the anime adaptations of Fullmetal Alchemist
• Gravity Falls
• He Is a Good Boy
• Hi-Fi RUSH
• Homestuck
• The Iron Giant
• Last Week Tonight
• Love, Death & Robots
• The Matrix series
• The Mitchells vs. the Machines
• Monster Prom^note Yes, Calculester is my favorite. I'm predictable, alright?
• Monsters University
• Pickle and Peanut
• the Psychonauts games
• the Rayman series
• Regular Show
• Scud the Disposable Assassin
• the Scott Pilgrim franchise
• Soul Eater
• Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
• SpongeBob SquarePants
• most of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stuff I've encountered, but especially Rise and the 2003 show
• Tiny and Big in Grandpa's Leftovers
• Titanfall 2
• the TRON franchise

The list is always going to be incomplete, but in general: if it's here, that means I genuinely love it. Even if it's bad. (Especially if it's bad.)

Once upon a time I made an effort to try to keep all of the music I enjoyed on my troper page too, but the stuff I listen to evolves and grows so much with each passing moment that I feel like the most accurate method of describing it is just by sharing my last.fm account.

Alright, enough of that. Got any other weird gobbledygook to share with the class?
