hi, i'm chew (aka the webmaster of this site!)

this site has been my passion project where i can showcase myself and my interests with little to no care in the world. i've always been interested in coding and forum-posting since i was little and unsupervised on deviantart and transformice, but i've only just started last summer before my first semester of college. i used to be a biology major, but i've now switched over to psychology in hopes to work with children. alongside that notion, another aspiration of mine is that i hope i can illustrate a children's book one day!

i love music, photography, writing, drawing, and sleeping with my beautiful cat. i also love sylvanian families and stickers. my favorite foods are yogurt bowls and burritos. i also love eating watermelon + oranges (very refreshing)
* hey check out that gif that i drew and animated right there ->
this past year i've had a lot of time to think about what i consider the building blocks to my personal and social identities. generally i just like to keep things brief and surface level because if there's any room for deeper consultation i just might overheat and explode. but online i think i have a lot more wiggle room to be "myself". i am 18 years old from cali (born and raised but my ethnic background comes from southeast asia). i love post-hardcore and emo music and drinking coconut water. i don't really consider myself to have a lot of friends (that is ok). i have a love hate relationship with math and chemistry, solving step by step is really satisfying and pretty fun when you get the answers correct until there's a point you're stuck and you have to do shit over and over and over and over again. i spent a lot of my younger teenhood listening to math rock and shoegaze and consider it very nostalgic especially in the midst of the night. i was in origami club in gradeschool. one of my weakest moments came from trying to make 1000 paper cranes. my comfort shows are my little pony friendship is magic and poyopoyo kansatsu nikki. i've always preferred staying up at night instead of sleeping, but eventually it became something against my will. i have a troubling relationship with my gender identity. i have a lot of internal conflicts regarding my identity overall. i don't typically enforce or disclose any of my gender related things on others or loved ones because i just always thought it was cringe (i just don't have the energy to explain and don't want to make shit confusing or hard or leave a weird impression on anyone). i would say i'm gender-nonconforming, but i don't care enough to correct people on my pronouns anymore. it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth like i'm being a drag. i like driving, will hopefully be licensed in 1-2 months from now. i love animals, if i could live in a world where humans went extinct and nature reclaimed her place in the world i'd prefer that even if that meant i'd have to be extinct. i like animals better than people. i fucking hate terfs. i don't like playing horror games i'd rather just watch. i'm slightly lactose intolerant. i like collecting physical media such as charms, vinyl, cd, and manga. i am also aware how pretentious that sounds. I also do not care

tl;dr they/them, 18 yo, SE asian, music enjoyer, i sleep with stuffed animals still, i love my cat yoon
working on this sorry
