I realised I haven't written a formal introduction until now, so here it is.

Like a lot of people here I have first been exposed to the chapo sphere on , although I had already been somewhat radicalised by that time so the chapo subreddit that I remember somewhat fondly was moretankiechapo, though I didn't really post there. I don't remember why exactly I created my hexbear account all the way back in 2020 , especially since until a few months ago I was mostly active on lemmygrad, and before that I had stayed on (mostly on GenZedong following the great chapo purge (and I actually posted there instead of just lurking)). Regardless I've actually started posting using this account this year, to the detriment of my older lemmygrad account.

I'm one of the few posters here, though thankfully I actually have no French blood in my veins (my ancestors hail from the Balkans and from Burgerland… so I guess part of that is actually a bit worse than being from ). My family is definitely not ML, ranging from libs to monarchists, so I'm a bit of an anomaly in the family (although I know some of my ancestors were comrades at least).

I'm an aspie and an enby (though I'd say that the term "cassgender" applies to me), I use they/them in English and any pronouns in French (I don't like being referred to using neopronouns so I just find "iel" to be weird). I'm particularly interested in history, music (I'm a bassist and a drummer) and linguistics/languages. Special interests include Portal (2007), prog rock (and more specifically, since my childhood: Pink Floyd), and seemingly anything heralding from the PRC. 我从2021年学习汉语，会说得一点儿（我几天前参加了 HSK3 考试）。下个学期，我要去台湾省学习，所以我一定会提高我的汉语水平！

Anyways hello!
