I don't know what to type here

[maltocline]

My name is Maltose Halocline, or Mal for short. I haven't been on social media in ages, so I'm out of practice at this.

I'm a furry? And a Homestuck fan? Like a lot of people, I guess. I'm also schizoid, for whatever that's worth. I mostly just lurk on Pesterchum and Reddit. (I don't feel comfortable sharing my account handles. I met one really cool person who I liked alot on Pesterchum recently, and that was already really overwhelming. So now I'm not gonna make friends for the next 100 years, just to balance it out.) I read a lot of webcomics, but not so many furry ones. Most recently I've read BreadAVOTA, Poorly Planned Comics, and Out-Of-Placers. (No, liking OOPs is not a good recommendation that you'll like the other two. They're very, very different. But I did like OOPs, fwiw.)

Lately I've been branching out 'cause I've got a webcomic I wanna make, and I need to involve myself in the "Real World" (eww) to gather artistic inspiration and ability and stuff. I used to be decent at cosplay, but I've never managed to draw anything good, so I have a long way to go. My "main link" is supposed to link to my comic but it 404s, because there's nothing there yet. Soon™. Wait, there's no trademark symbol in Toshiba VGA font. SoonTM.

Uhhh right, demographics. I'm aroace? And trans. But I still have various attractive and gender-oriented feelings and stuff, just really non-normative ones that are hard to describe. If I had to pick microlabels I'd go with quoiromantic and quoigender, in the sense of labels being useless. Yeah, I'm a special snowflake.

I guess I should mention that I'm the only fan in existence of my friend's web serial, Plea to the Moon-Mother. She only got as far as the first ten chapters, but it's a really cool and profound reading of... most of the experiences that defined my life, I guess. I don't know, maybe other people wouldn't get much out of it. Anyway, that's the basis of my webcomic, although my adaptation changes a lot of stuff.

Okay, all that sounds like my entire life story, but you actually don't know shit about me. I'm just summarizing some of my recent Internet-centric experiences.

Oh shit I forgot to talk about my fursona. I used to have a sort of semi-mammalian anthro dragonsona (sorta nonstandard; my tail was long enough to be prehensile), but for the past couple years I've thought of myself as more of an amorphous abstract mass of clinging, universe-perforating black liquid, like the Void in Hollow Knight, or the Void Sea in Rain World, or Def-Se in BreadAVOTA. So, I put down "void entity" as my species here. Although I wouldn't really call it "void", because there's definitely something there. It's just, you know, the intrusion of another plane of existence.
