About The Chicken
Hi! I figured this might help some people:
Age: 32
Pronouns: They/Them
Location: Denver, CO
Job: Author/Illustrator
Sorry I’m not taking comissions at this time
My art blog is @gallusdrawseverything, if you’d like a look.
Tags I use, if you want to block/follow them:
#Family Lore for the weird histories
#Charleston Chew #Herschel the Hanukkah Goblin and #Mr. Mochi are my pets.
#Arwen is my parent’s dog, also an evil genius
#The Power Of Friendship (And This Gun I Found!) / #TPOFATGIF is my Yugioh fanfic monster.
I do my best to tag for all common triggers and will do my best to accomodate more unusual ones, but my memory isn’t great, so PLEASE unfollow me if I don’t remember to tag consistently enough for you. Your health always comes first.
Actually, feel free to unfollow me for any reason at any time. I won’t be upset!
FAQ:
“Are you real?”
Most of the time.
“Can we be friends?”
Sure! In fact, we are already friends, friendly person. Feel free to ask questions and tag me in stuff.
“Did you see my previous ask/tag/reblog/etc?”
I absolutely did not. My activity page and askbos are a fucking mess and basically broken even with filtering lol.
“Can you tag for X?”
I totally understand triggers and will try my best to tag for them, but I also have a really bad memory. So I’m willing to tag, but if I slip up more than you can handle, feel free to unfollow me. Your health comes first.
“Are you/Do you have (Illness)?”
I have ADHD, C-PTSD, Generalized Anxiety, Memory problems, Audio Processing Disorder, Vestibular problems, Chronic migraines/cluster headaches and Clinical Depression. Yep. All of that. At the same time. It’s not fun, but I’m in therapy, and have a wonderful supporting family and am doing much better these days.
“Are you a chicken?”
I will neither Confirm nor Deny my heritage ;)
“Did you hear about issue X?”
Yes I did. I’m an adult who reads the news, votes in all their elections and calls their representatives. I don’t talk about it here because this is my chill space. Working and being A Responsible Citizen is hard and I just want to talk fandom and look at cat videos for a while sometimes. Please respect my boundaries.
“I’m feeling suicidal and need someone to talk to”
You certainly do! However I am not professionally qualified to help you, nor am I mentally stable enough myself to handle babysitting someone having a psychological meltdown without severe negative effects myself! PLEASE, PLEASE call your local suicide hotline or go to the hospital and get help from somebody who can actually help you!!
“Why do you spell things wrong all the time?”
You may have noticed that I have tendency to misspell words, sometimes consistently. “Thier” and “Becuase” are particularly tough. I have a reading disorder and am a victim of US Public Education, and had to teach myself to type, so I tend to misspell words and not notice, and do it over and over again because that’s what my hands remember. I fix it when I catch it, but it’s not likely to get better anytime soon. Correcting me just makes me feel like an idiot and mess up more, so let’s all practice being kind to strangers and leave everyone’s spelling and grammar alone on a blog site that’s for fun, alright?
“Please reblog my Donation post!”
I only share donation posts of people I know really well that I can verify the authenticity of. Sorry.
