she/her. mid af girl between a lot of things. therapy school hopeful. roguelike minmaxer, card game enthusiast, daydreamer. also probably sleeping. rkc lysm
my shortlist:
vivian (was frontrunner for months before i decided on short name)
sage (probably 3rd place, bit too naturey for who i am)
cass
rose
violet
andrea
middle name is undecided. 1st place is dot so i can have “tess dot’s website” and also so i’m a sworn enemy of the gods
wanted a 1 syllable name bc i think they’re neat and i wanted a name with a unique sound bc my deadname has a common sound in it and i didn’t like that. tess is also somewhat a nod to my late aunt esther, who was the kind of woman i hope to be like
tess music. a lot of how i enjoy music is based on listening to songs individually, rather than whole albums, but these are probably my 20 favorites. shelly and antisocialites b sides barely count because of how short they are. hospice is phenomenal but soul crushing
@formeragdistis many banger takes. hop along mentioned !!!!! i love frances' solo album and bark your head off dog, and their sort of meandering lyrical/storytelling style
izutsumi is with laios trying to pry the mice off the street. they get one after 20 minutes, and as they are about to show it to senshi chilchuck notices, sighs, and says “the mice are statues, morons”. laios and izutsumi are visibly crushed.
laios tries to eat the mice on main and she gets upset about it. she takes intricate notes on the dungeon ecosystem at coffee underground. senshi tries to clean his pot in the reedy river and chilchuck can’t explain to him that he’s just making it dirtier
@formeragdistis coworker who definitely crossed multiple boundaries with me also did this. was so high he had to wear sunglasses indoors and bragged about it to me, told management when i told them the stuff he did to me and they didn’t care :)
BEGIN TRANSMISSION
FLORA ARCANA --
i saw your face in the tv static after all these years
you always believed in magic and ritual
i could only imagine sculpting beauty within 4 letters
i made this for you just before you passed
your eyes were shut before it bloomed
