Hi.Most people online know me as Abyss, Birch, GAZE, or whatever they met me as.
Close friends know me as AL.
I'm very socially guarded and withdrawn,
but I'm otherwise friendly.
I generally strive to be my most unabashedly "me" as I can be, even if that means being a fucking wierdo. I cackle loud, I say off-the-wall bullshit, I can be goofy, I can be lethargic, I can be quiet, but most of all, I am just a guy.
I'm an artist that has been drawing since I was a wee little shit, and I take part in a number of hobbies. My art tends to focus on OCs, but mostly it's just exploration of emotions. Sometimes I stream,

and above all
I. LOVE. Monsters.

I AM GUARDED AND WITHDRAWN!
This has been such a huge problem for people to understand. I am not going to be a good friend for you if you need consistent contact and attention. Period.
I also suck at one on one interactions. Sorry.

I AM IN MY 30s! I DONT WANT TO BE AROUND KIDS!
I refuse to censor myself in my own spaces. I will behave myself in public or in unfamiliar spaces/streams/etc, but I am a crass 30s-something-year-old that laughs at sex jokes and crude humour.

Being my friend doesn't get you free art
It just doesn't. Guilt-tripping me doesn't work either, it just makes me discard any WIPs I may have already been working on, or worse: just disengage entirely. And yes, it's extremely obvious when people are like this. None of you are slick lol

Mind your business
Just because I'm friends with someone, doesn't mean you have to be too. Just because you like someone, doesn't mean I'm gonna like them too. Just because you don't like someone, doesn't mean I'm gonna dislike them too.
Unless someone is a genuinely harmful person, I do not care what your personal beef with someone is. And I'm not gonna make my personal beef your problem either.

I'll update this eventually.for now, am just a hungry blob of goop.
