About Me
Year of Birth: 1997 (I don't celebrate my birthday)
Identity Labels: Queer, Nonbinary, Transgender
Pronouns: No pronouns preferred (they/them is fine)
Name: I never liked my birth name, even before I knew I was trans. I picked a new legal name with the goal of passing as cisgender, so I don't really identify with it these days either. Ever since my Neopets account from 2008, I've gone by Espetrell online. It was originally the name of a childhood OC, but because it's so unique (because I made it up), it's never been taken on any website. It's become who I am in online spaces (and occasionally even IRL). Espetrell isn't my only name, but it's the one that I am most comfortable with strangers using to refer to me, especially in connection to my creative work.
Interests: Obviously, my biggest passions are writing and drawing. I like to read comics and books, mainly YA or middle grade fantasy. I like to play video games (or, more often, watch other people play them). I'm fascinated by languages and linguistics, although I'm very much not an academic expert. When I can, I also like to take nature walks and go thrift shopping, but most of the time, the only thing I have spoons for is to lie in bed watching YouTube videos.
Inspirations: This got so long that I felt compelled to split it into its own page. Click here to read a list of my narrative inspirations.
