ABOUT ME ➝oooooo *Record Scratch* You're probably wondering-- Howdy, name's River.oooooo (03/24)
oooooo I can't decide whether I'll treat my socials as an archival dumping ground or not, but rest assured, I will have no formal posting schedule nor a palpable theme in my content. If you're also an artist... pspsps, c'mere, I wanna be moots..... please info dump in my DMs or something... (no pressure :3)!oooooo I've been drawing since my meaty little fingers could grasp a crayon. I'm self-taught for the most part, but I've taken a few classes and worked with teachers over the years to further develop my technique and efficiency. And I'm still learning! At the moment, I'm super rusty, but I'm making an effort to dive back into the visual arts after a lengthy hiatus spanning roughly four years. My goal is just to have some fun again.oooooo I'm originally from Texas, though I've recently enjoyed a handful of lucky opportunities to study abroad. My family also just moved across the country. So, needless to say, I'm a little all over the place lately. After I graduate (Class of '24) I intend to get into bartending.oooooo Ughmm,, my favorite animals are snow leopards. I Just Think They're Neat! I'm also studying Spanish & Mandarin Chinese on my own, so if you see non-English pronouns listed, that's why! -- I'm not fluent in either (have mercy), but it's a goal of mine to learn and get better at both. I used to study both in an academic setting when I was much younger, then had to choose between one or the other, and then I switched schools entirely.ooo.. ☆ Some junk I live with that tends to affect my responsiveness, timeliness, & more:
ooooooooooo • Chronic [migraine] pain
ooooooooooo • C-PTSD
ooooooooooo • AuDHD
ooooooooooo • College

STATUS ⎯ getting therapized || Banana Fish, ATSV, HTTYD, Devilman, cowboys, Sky: COTL, etc... (terminal)

oooooo Let me also note that I strive to perform meaningful social justice & activism; I'm not perfect, and I'm always learning how I can better use my voice/privilege to elevate others. Unfortunately, I can't touch on or address every issue that exists in the world, but I do what I can to spread the word.ooooooPlease always feel free to contact me with ways I can improve, issues I can assist in shedding light on, what I (as a white person) can do to help, etc.! I've never held a large online presence, and I tend to keep to myself, but it's a goal of mine to leave the world a little nicer than I found it:oooooo • Resisting War Taxes (USA)
