Hi, I'm Dandan, and I love making slop!
I really enjoy incorporating my special interests into my art, whether that be Buddhism, classical literature, art history, or anything more contemporary.
In-depth research is one of my favorite things to do for my interests.Please enjoy your stay!

TL;DR: Don't be weird to me, don't make brash generalizations about me, don't put words in my mouth. Please and thank you!If you respect me, I'll respect you.
This includes me not interacting with people if I meet their DNI criteria.I think DNI lists are unhelpful at best and performative at worst (if you must know my opinions on certain stances, you can stick around to see my personal posts).
So, all I really have are a few disclaimers and boundaries:Before Interacting:
If I block, don't take it personally. I block for both my comfort and yours.Please talk to me like another sentient person! I promise I won't and don't bite, even if we disagree on takes & interpretations. This includes not involving me in shipping wars or name-calling over differing (unharmful) views.Interaction Disclaimer:
I don't like discourse whatsoever; however, I will say that I prefer if people interested in lolisho, incest, and/or minor/adult stuff to please stay away. None of these are things I can morally agree with and they make me deeply uncomfortable.I do not consider myself to be a "pro-shipper," a "dark-shipper," or whatever, and do not associate myself with those communities despite enjoying stories that contain darker, more sensitive subjects. I don't really classify myself as an "anti," either, since I believe that certain subjects do have their place within art and media (granted they're in the appropriate time and appropriate place).
I personally think both labels have grown overly-generalized over the past few years and have essentially lost the plot. They're mostly used for petty internet slapfights and tend to hold no real 'worth' in conversations; either label is basically begging for anyone to come into a discussion with pre-determined, self-serving bias.My main stance is that I believe that fictional content does not exist in a vacuum, and while it does not inherently equate our real-life values, it does reflect our perception of the world, internal biases, and lived experiences, therefore making what we create and consume important to who we are as people.
I'm a big fan and advocate for inside thoughts and 'out of sight, out of mind,' as well as a believer in natural social consequence and criticism is not the same as censorship.While you can do what you want and no one can stop you, whatever is within the public's eye or shown to another will result in receiving judgment.So long as it's not my business, I'm not making it my business.
(Obvious exceptions may occur, such as people who are being actively malicious and dangerous. IYKYK)

While I do intend to keep it separate from my main, it's easy to tell what is me; the Carrds are essentially the same.See my listography below for interests in detail:
Kinning & Self-Shipping
I do both. Whether or not they're serious or for fun is up to you to decide!
Most of my aforementioned favs are characters I self-ship with or kin* I use "Jizou" for MoYuu to separate him from 2018 Yuuji.
* Ichigo is from the Hell Arc, which takes place in 2015.
* Some (many) are a weird mixture of kinning, self-shipping, and a secret third thing
