#i’ve considered breaking up emotional intelligence into multiple tags too... lord help me

[playingforward]

intro post :3

hi!!! hello!!!

the name’s ajax, although i’m also called a whole Host of other things in place of/addition to that, depending on the vibes. dawn, crow, and violet are the most common ones you’ll see :))

the pronouns in my bio are usually accurate, but they occasionally change. if you interact with me on a personal level (in dms/on other platforms), i'll inform you of my current name & pronoun preferences.

i'm a digital artist in an educational program on the subject, an occasional fanfiction writer, massive mathematics & biochemical sciences nerd, tea connoisseur, jewelry collector, friend to many & awkward to all

this blog is a multifandom + personal mess because sideblogs aren’t manageable for me.

long-term post/reblog topics: sword art online (practically lifelong special interest), persona 5 (+ 3&4 a bit, but i’ve only played p5), the legend of zelda + lu, my dear partner @voheit, homestuck, THE ARCANE ASCENSION SERIES BY ANDREW ROWE PLEASE GOD DOES ANYONE KNOW IT; advocacy/activism

from the river to the sea, palestine will be free. saying so is the least anyone can do about it

tag guide and extra personal info under the cut :)

my username is a reference to the sword art online episode 01x08, in which kirito and asuna have a conversation about who will "play forward" - i.e., make the decision of what they will be doing - that day.

tag guide: these exist mainly for myself, to aid in categorizing + retroactively searching for things i’ve put on here

blue bucket of gold - personal posts/stuff that i’ve had a hand in composing in some way. chatty reblogs aren’t usually tagged with this, but sometimes i forget -> wording derived from a sufjan stevens lyric that felt particularly Me

hoard - a dragon collecting shinies. things i find especially worthwhile

keep - a derivative of hoard, but even more important/Practical information for which i’m likely to search my own blog

emotional intelligence - a derivative of keep, posts relevant to emotional or mental health, self-care, advice, etc. generally tends to be practical. i recommend going through that tag if you need to hear a perspective on life/feelings which isn’t rattling around in your own skull :)

@ voheit - with no space, this tag exists specifically for things that i’d like to share with tumblr user voheit <3 with no time pressure or feeling uncomfortable with tagging them directly on the post, for whatever reason there may be

draconic - posts that feel draconic in nature to me, especially in a way that pertains to my own identity

other context about me:

- legal adult 👍

-i often use vaguely christian phrases (dear god, lord above, holy fuck, god bless) in a nonreligious way

- I HAVE MEMORY ISSUES!!!!!!!!! i Will forget some things you’ve said to me no matter how much i want to remember. please remind me of it when i ask, or seem to be Obviously Missing Context, and the conversation will flow as before - or get into a fun tangent about the forgotten memory. i am experienced with dealing with my own issues!!! go with my flow and you’ll be just fine. do not guilt trip me about it, though. this is out of my control

- i am a dragon :3 in my heart

- also plural, but we don't talk about it often on here. sometimes reblog informational/positivity posts on the subject.
