If you don’t know me, I’m Raven, though you can also call me Aether. I used to be active, but for various reasons, including but not limited to: mental health issues, insensitive behavior, feeling like I was being a general jerk, etc., I eventually left. I’m back, over a year and a half later as well. Strange.
Facts about me! These have changed dramatically(hehe funny pun you’ll see why) since I was last here. -She/her, but I take they/them. -I’m on the aro/ace spectrum. -I’m almost definitely on the other spectrum as well lol. If only I had a diagnosis… -Since you last saw them, my characters have changed. A lot. Various queer things are happening and they’re exciting. -As per my signature, I love writing, theatre, choir/singing… and other things, but they’re not important right now. -This is a spontaneous account. I’ll most certainly be off a majority of the time. If you were hoping for me to be active, it will honestly depend on way more things than I can control.
I apologize to anyone I hurt in the past. I did many hurtful things for no reason, and for that I truly am sorry.

Holy crap, hi. Missed talking with ya
Also, I've discovered that I'm also on the spectrum, so that's kinda funny in an ironic way XD

My experiences being on the spectrum are essentially a lot of, “Wait, you don’t have a diagnosis?” …and a lot of initial denial XD

XD yeah XD I just keep questioning myself because I also have ADHD, so it's a constant tug of war between the two. Which is probably why I could never explain my personality properly in RPs now that I'm thinking about it XD It's funny, cause a lot of people in my life are discovering they're neurodivergent. It's a proven thing that we attract each other
Oh, and I believe I am also on the ace spectrum as well

Hey, same! No wonder I felt like I related to you a lot. Truly, neurodivergence finds other neurodivergence to befriend.
I was looking at one of my favorite categories and it hasn’t updated in a year! Wow, things have changed.

Yes. I've also discovered that neurodiversity is one of my special interests, and apparently that's a common occurrence. Assuming you don't already know, it's also more common to have both ADHD and ASD than it is to have just one, which is kinda unexpected
Oh wow. Yeah, it's very dead here unfortunately

I know so many neurodivergent people who have multiple or relate to multiple of those diagnoses. Thanks to having had a medical overthinking/‘mild’ hypochondriac phase, I thankfully do know! It’s so interesting how the brain basically decides to have all or nothing.

Oh yikes. But glad you know. It is very fascinating, yes
Out of curiosity, what music are you listening to now?

Anything I pick up from Youtube or choir honestly. Various musical theatre soundtracks and other songs I can relate to or write something about are probably the most common. The main exceptions to this rule are ‘1,000 Light Years Away’ from Slime Rancher and the majority of the OST of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, aka my biggest hyperfixation I’ve ever had.
Honestly, music has been one of the things I’ve found solace in. Definitely helps to have songs you can relate to when processing intense emotions or feelings of self-doubt and the like.
