Hey, I'm Willow
Personality
I struggle greatly with pinning down my personality. In many ways I find that indeterminacy wonderfully empowering, but I also think it is practically useful to describe what to expect when interacting with me. Most people will experience me as introverted, apprehensive, and passive. I have a lot of ideas floating around in my head, but frequently struggle to put them to words, and even more frequently do not even attempt. However, if I feel comfy around you I can really open up to be a passionate person. I tend to enjoy the company of individuals who have strong personalities, but struggle with groups of people.
Things I Like
Books. I love all sorts of topics, but my interests are broadly around political and social theory. See politics page and GoodReads. I upload audiobook recordings of my favorites here. Working through recording Raymond Geuss' corpus.
Otaku Shit. Anime, manga, and visual novels. Some of my favorite genres are denpa, psychological, horror, tragedy, and romance. See Anilist and VNDB. Also check out the Devilman Grimoire manga scans I did.
Music. Lately I've been into breakcore/DnB and similar genres. I don't have a nice playlist, but you can check out my SoundCloud likes, messy YouTube playlists [1] [2], and the songs I repost.
Video Games. I used to be very dedicated to Overwatch; I played on teams and climbed the ranked ladder well into the top 1% of players. Now I play all sorts of games casually. See gaming page.
Miscellaneous. Hanging out on Discord with friends, watching obscure YouTube, cubing, learning Python, tinkering in Linux, mpv scripting.
