PEOPLE I'D LIKE TO GET TO KNOW BETTER!

alias / name: oxly!

birthday:  may 1st.

zodiac sign: taurus.

height: 5'4" / 162 cm i think??

hobbies: writing, singing, painting, media ethnography, osteology, learning to speak russian, D&D + star wars TTRPGs.

favorite color: black, a darker shade of cyan, or lavender!

favorite book: tie between inkheart by cornelia funke (i've read the cover clean off my poor copy, it never gets any less beautiful to me) and annihilation by jeff vandermeer (the southern reach trilogy singlehandedly rebuilt the neural pathways in my brain into cosmic horror highways, i swear to GOD).

last song: someone gets hurt - mean girls obc.

last film / show: X - ti west / true detective: night country.

recent reads: fabulosa!: the story of polari, britain's secret gay language by paul baker.

inspiration: tbh other than hellblazer and ethnographic films about the queer community in '70s england, i have a massive list of horror + sci-fi films, books, and punk + orchestral music that i've spreadsheeted alongside which aspects of constantine's personality/history they remind me of, so i can refer back to whatever matches the specific mood i'm trying to touch on in my writing. the cornetto trilogy, disco elysium, and the ritual are common inspirations. also, the mean girls + falsettos + jagged little pill obc recordings have been giving me writing inspo lately??? god knows why.

story behind url: one of my favorite quotes from hellblazer that's always highlighted the real body of constantine's skillset for me: "my talent's for lying. for sticking the knife in when people least expect it. then walking away with a smile and a wave before they even realize they're bleeding."

fun fact about me: i'm trained in broadsword stage combat and shakespearean textual analysis (which i primarily use in combination to defend my many queer opinions on shakespeare lol)
