hello world!!

my name is octo, and welcome to my (admittedly small...) website! please leave your shoes by the door. click on section headers to open a section, and click on them again to close them! or dont, im not your boss. (though i would reccomend reading my BYF)

(((sidenote: THIS SITE WAS MADE WITH DESKTOP VIEW IN MIND!!! i am so so sorry in advance if this ends up being a hot mess on mobile)))

BYF!!!
[pretend theres an image of an anime girl crying here] IM SORRY FOR BEING A SHOTACON!!!!!!!!!

in all seriousness, please be warned!! i am asexual and kind of weird with it so honestly assume im typing with one hand first and ask questions later. okay?

what my account may contain includes BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO: this list has no way of being everything, mostly because i dont really know what is and isnt considered 'normal' to be into these days. unfortunately, i have yet to tap into the collective hivemind and am stuck making random shots in the dark, but this covers the majority of it. you might also see none of this because i get NERVOUS!!! OKAY!!!!!!

also no minors incase that wasnt like. blindingly ovbious.

ABOUT
hello my name is octo as has been previously established and i live in a cave and eat undiscovered species of bugs off the walls.

in all seriousness. hello!! i have not had a public internet presence iiiiiiiin [checks callendar] A WHILE and i suppose this doesnt even really count as starting now. im counting it because my account is only really private for the sake of my own paranoia. the majority of frqs will likely be accepted. ANYWAYS apologies if i act weird. it has been a while and THE AUTISM CERTAINLY IS NOT HELPING.

it has been a long while since ive really written an about me section so uh. I DONT REALLY KNOW WHAT TO PUT HERE. i have a tendency to overshare at the best of times and quite frankly i do not want to accidentally drop the nuclear launch codes to my psyche!!! okay!!!!! you have to work for those.

ANYWAYS!!! my dms are always open forever and ever, and if you ask me about any of my interests i will eternally be in your debt im so serious. [wearing t shirt that reads "I ♥️ SOCIALIZING"] please.

INTERESTS
sorry for lying to you with the header. THIS IS THE REAL GET TO KNOW ME SECTION. you know what youre already in too deep this is the third section just leave if you dont want to hear about this. i do not care. regardless!! ill just be bringing up the big ones here, so dont be alarmed when you step on an undisclosed autism landmine later.

FANDOM

i mean, duh? theres a reason youre reading this and i dont think its because you think animals are neat. either way, im a pretty moderate fandom hopper? i mean it depends on your definition of moderate. either way, ive got a lot and they never really go away. i am SO picky (this will be a recurring theme!) with my character dynamics, interpretations so genuinely please do not take anything i say as rude. please be patient with me i have autism etcetc. currently very into [gestures vaguely at the pmoon games]

TF

no, not like transformers. i could give you the whole spiel, oh yes, it all started on one innocent summers day ██ years ago and so on and so forth, but you are not here for that. youre also not here for this, now that i think about it, but were a little far past the point of no return wouldnt you say? TF for me is just as much a fetish as it is a special interest. (again, asexual) regardless, i am so serious when i say I WILL OWE YOU MY LIFE IF YOU TALK WITH ME ABOUT THIS. i am a huge therian and will ramble at length about just about every aspect of it. anything can be tf if i am insane enough about it. PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT MY SETTINGS PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT MY AUS I HAVE SO FUCKING MANY IT MAKES ME LOOK STUPID. STICK YOUR FINGERS BETWEEN THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLE

SPECULATIVE BIOLOGY

i swear this is a seperate thing. i am genuinely a huge biology nut, and love discussing how creatures function. i love designing hybrids. i love nonstandard body plans. I LOVE MAKING SHIT UPPPPPPPP. but within reason. like a dragon must fulfill a specific ecological niche. you understand? this does tie in with tf in a lot of ways, as i do have a great obsession with getting as close to biological accuracy as possible, but generally speaking i just really like designing creatures. once again, ask me about this and i would lay down my life for you. im so serious.
