observations on the duck-billed wren

hi! i'm wren. i'm an autistic nonbinary trans-femme person with anxiety. i've had a lot of interests that have faded over time, due to hyperfixations ending or changes in my opinions, but the things consistently fascinated me include:

• pixel art!
• tabletop role-playing games. specifically, i'm super interested in the intersection of mechanics and storytelling, and how game mechanics can influence, reflect, and enhance emergent storytelling.
• actually, storytelling in general has always interested me.
• webcomics!
• again, comics as a medium in general.
• linguistics, especially the linguistic differences that arise from different platforms on the internet. i think that the way people talk over text chats is fascinating to begin with, but the differences between the way people talk on discord and irc is really cool to me.
• old technology standards that just work. rss hasn't been updated since 2009 but it's still supported by a ton of places (youtube is a big one that i did not expect) and it remains an incredible way to manage subscriptions to things you want to keep. i can use ftp to manage files on my hacked 3ds with my phone and it just... works. it's incredible.
• bitmap fonts! probably just fonts in general tbh.
