Yo, Indy here!

I'm a 30+, Biologically Somali, Finnish in soul and spirit. Asexual, primarily in Aego-spectrum.
I'm also a CRT-collecting Retro-Gamer, a 90s' Anime Junkee, and always, a Super Crossover Nut.

Currently on a stand-still regarding fandoms I dig into, though here's some I visit now and then as long-seasoned fan:

- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Symphogear
- Madoka Magica (sans Magi Record)
- Super Smash Bros (in my personally preferred form of 64-Brawl primarily, see below post)
- Super Mario in general, including all subseries/spinoff branches. (DKC, all Mario RPGs and Wario Land/Ware
- Sakura Wars
- (Archie) Mega Man & Sonic

I've had a long, tumultuous and mostly lone journey throughout various fandoms over the decades, with majority of them being often link to innate multiversal/multi-crossover aspects, or me creating such around them to enjoy them more together.

Most of these involve personal ideas or headcanons/worldlore I wanna depict as I'm very passionate on consistency and multi-layered detail - this leading on me depicting characters in them in more grounded and multi-faceted ways compared to what current mainstream social media depictions across fandoms reduces them to.
[[Main examples are Shinji Ikari and Kazuto Kirigaya -- I mean, "Kirito"... ]]

On that end, some of these big fandoms I've been into over the years have come long to be changed and thus made me wanna branch them to my own preferred times that augment the depictions of them.

So - I'm mainly a writer and narrative inventor/designer.

On my portfolio is an actual theater play for children around 2015 which was played in a theater during Finland's 100nth anniversary of Independence! I've also done some art too, but it's been very hard to develop on forward alone, so I'm still kinda in a beginner level IMO.

This leads on my fanfic writing - which I'm mainly a "plot bunny breeder" more than anything.
I've had many story concepts and ideas, which if aligning to enough with motivating system - a.ka someone's enthused AND accountable of what I'm making - I might go write actual fully-realized chapters.

I just SUCK at starting and finishing full chapters of these plot bunnies, so they've been mainly stuck as such. I hope to find people who I can at least gush about some of them enough to maybe explore writing them in full.

Anyways, I hope to find mutuals that I can truly connect with via sputtering on what I personally feel talking about here compared to filtering or plugging myself shut with most of my friends out there.

I've been around what I call "fandom clusters" based on what series I enjoy often together in crossover-styled manner (or used to):

- Super Smash Bros 64 -> Brawl x Captain Rainbow (yes, both of them together, if you know latter and love it, talk to me). This means all series or characters depicted in them.

(4 + Ultimate varies as I'm anti-3rd Parties over time + ignorance of obscure Nintendo-IPs majorly)

- Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, Ouran, Hayate no Gotoku, Toradora! (Good bit of my fan OCs come from this "cluster")

- 90s' Anime & Cartoons all around, often linked in tropes and elements seen in Roger Rabbit/Animaniacs, and Re:Creators.

(I'm not kidding, stick with what's shown in CN/Toonami and KidsWB, throw wee bit of Disney Afternoon and ton of 80s to 90s' Anime OVAs and cult classic/mainstream series through syndication and VHS, and you have relative picture of what I'm into).

Sub-category of this is me exploring also olden cartoons and anime from 30s to 70s. (Some of my personal fanfic AUs are based around this.

Some clusters I have in this are: Tenchi Muyo/Ranma 1/2/Ah My Goddess,

Single IP/fandom engagement meanwhile are:

- Symphogear (Recent, I'm going through AXZ very slowly due having to wait for my friends to gather all together for 2 ep watch weekly - unfortunately it's become bit stalled. I)

- Neon Genesis Evangelion

- Sakura Wars

- Re:Creators (Pretty dead IP though, but that's where my waifie comes from, see my banner)

- Madoka Magica

- Flip Flappers

- You're Under Arrest!

- Pokemon (Relatively, up to Gen 7. Includes PokeAni, but also kind of preference-based on seasons, I'm mixed on it despite growing with it)

- Archie Sonic & Mega Man

- Raildex (Pretty surface-level, prefer Railgun to Index)

- Duckverse-comics (I have easiest access to it as a Finn-born after all and got also a whole book with Don Rosa's autograph in it~)

- Bojack Horseman

- The Amazing World of Gumball

- Tales of (Symphonia and Phantasia mainly, haven't been around eons.)

- Fire Emblem (Up to Awakening. Looong ago I visited it though.)

- Rival Schools (eternally timeless to me)

- Sword Art Online
(Looking to make a manifesto on how everyone is getting the series wrong and also stop treating it like Ronald Reagan of 2010s' Anime unless it's that overrated Abridged-version. I'm tired of my bisexual bisaster swordsman being treated like garbage for things he's not even remotely responsible for)

I have plenty more Fandoms I'm into however, so I might have to tag a bigger list to all of them later on.
