    Hi everybody, my name's saltprince. Even though I'm AFAB, I identify as agender since I don't strongly identify with any gender at all. That said, I am a mish-mash of both feminine and masculine traits. I wear cute dresses and makeup, but I also wear binders and briefs.

    As far as sexual orientation goes, however, I absolutely love women. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ I have dated men in the past, and I suppose I could be attracted to a guy possibly, but femme girls make me really weak in the knees. I actually didn't really have an actual date when I completely leaped out of the closet. It was very gradual, and a bit of a nonsurprise for my friends and family as a lot of them already knew anyway. I guess subtlety isn't a strong suit of mine.

    I have an anxiety disorder, and one of my major triggers is large groups of people, so I work in the back room at a retail place. It's not glamorous and sometimes the spiders that pop up can't even fit into a styrofoam cup (I kind of dislike pointless killing of animals), but it's a paycheck, I guess. I actually went to art school and would like to eventually be a comic artist or an illustrator.

    Also, I live at home with a bunch of jerks known as cats and guinea pigs. They're all rescues since I have a weird complex about trying to save all animals in need.

    I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for in this forum. I guess people that will understand where I'm coming from? It's nothing against my friends and family, but they're largely straight and they're all cis. Try as they might, they can never entirely understand, you know? Anyway, hi and nice to meet you all!

    Welcome, saltprince!! And Merry Christmas!

    One of my biggest dreams is to write/draw a graphic novel too! I started trying to make a short graphic story a few weeks again, and gosh, it was really difficult doing by hand. So I finally gave in and got myself a drawing tablet and I'm looking forward to trying it out.

    Hope you enjoy your time here.

    Welcome saltprince! I get what you're saying about cis straight friends. EC's great for making new friends! I don't know where the talk of graphic novels came from, but I am an avid cartoonist and I would absolutely love to write a graphic novel.
