Celestial stuff is my jam

Chocolate, pizza, and olives are my favourite foods

Vaping

Crustaceans - only because I bought some intended as starter pets and accidentally got attached. _{WHO’D HAVE THOUGHT A LIL SHRIMP COULD HAVE SO MUCH PERSONALITY!}

Hollywood

^{⟡ I especially have beef with Disney for trying to monopolise the film industry. Chill if you like their movies but I cannot enjoy them myself.}

Money

Action and superhero films

^{⟡ I’m that person who criticises and nitpicks every single film, generally not very open about my opinions cause I don’t want to ruin what others enjoy but I genuinely do not enjoy 99% of films cause of this}

Stereotypes

^{⟡ fine if you wanna label yourself but PLEASE don’t assume stuff about others! Some people aren’t comfy with labels.}

^{⟡ I have social anxiety so I must be antisocial, straight/heterosexual so I must only fancy boys and should I ever fancy a girl I must be bi (yes I have crushed on 2 girls but as I am SO biased to boys I do not identify as bi) and prob ADHD/some issue with focusing on stuff I don’t care for (I HATED SCHOOL), idk so I must be super hyper & disruptive. (I’m crazy good at pretending to listen, so you probably never noticed. I USED to be very hyper @ school, but who'd guess...) Hence why I don’t label! &pls don't assume anything about me till you know me, I’m a quite complex person}

Maths

Covert racism (far harder to call out)

Feminine stuff

^{⟡ Sounds contradictory at first as I am a female but I am definitely a tomboy}

^{⟡ and to clear up any confusion I identify as female (she/her) I present androgynously because people should be free to display their identity as they wish. I am 2% male tho but PLEASE do not use he/him}

Small talk

Celebs, I respect them but don’t idolise them

Follow the herd mentality, I get that it's scary to be yourself but it's ok to be you <3

^{⟡ of course if u want to this is fine, but don’t create a fake version of yourself just for others! Be authentic}

Mainstream psuedoscience

Fandom mania. Be a fan but don’t be a toxic fan. Unhealthy obsessions are too normalised

If u think introversion is bad or "abnormal" sorry but that’s 50% of society.

^{⟡ Why do people think introvert = antisocial + no social skills? Here’s an article for y'all that think that. Introversion is NOT A DISORDER we are perfectly capable of socialising just less inclined to. And we do want to interact but not constantly!}

The dumbing down of content for kids coughcough Minecraft Movie

Civilisation… it sucks.

Minimalism

Anyone with malicious intent

Sedentary lifestyle. Daily walks for me!

^{⟡ it doesn't make u leaner btw. Normalise body shapes & stop calling healthy sizes obese please..}

Censorship

^{History was bad, exactly why we shouldn’t forget it lest we repeat our mistakes. The world is not pure sunshine, there is rot too. Can't have ying without the yang.}

Disrespecting the deceased

^{⟡ …unless they were a dictator or something but pls don't diss the dead just for clout}

The news (unless it’s science-y stuff, my inner geek needs to be satisfied) because 99% is just doom

^{⟡ Please don’t discuss real events like war, murder, famine, etc. Fictional is fine. I get way too upset, especially when I can’t do anything at all to help.}

Kinda awkward but I HATE sex scenes & overtly sexual stuff. I’m already so full of shame that I cannot feel any more, so there, you have it :''/

aand all the awkward stuff is below so, if you don't plan on getting to know me pls don't read haha

So irrationally scared of messing up interactions that I end up doing so out of fear ;0; I have trust issues & even me sitting near u is a sign I trust u. And I’m so confident in my head :(

^{PLEASE DON’T ASK ABOUT MY CHILDHOOD, I don’t like censorship but trauma jokes make me really uncomfortable. I did not attend secondary at all, homeschooled or otherwise.}
