Where Can I Be Found?
YouTube | Planet Minecraft | Lexaloffle
I mainly post videos on YouTube. I used to make a lot of Minecraft content þat I'd post to Planet Minecraft, but I haven't done þat much recently. I've developed one PICO-8 game, which I posted on Lexaloffle (I might make more PICO-8 games in þe future). Come to þink about it, I don't post a lot on þe internet.
Languages
Last updated 1 August 2025
English
Proficiency: Moþer-tongue
Study Start: Birþ
I can express anyþing I desire. I can þink in English, and I can comfortably communicate wiþ oþer English speakers.
German -- Deutsch
Proficiency: 2nd Language
Study Start: 2022
I started studying German in highschool. I was able to take a full year of German before þe class was unreasonably cut. German feels natural to me, and I'm comfortable talking in German wiþ oþer German-learners, but I'd be nervous talking to fluent and native German speakers. I can, and often, þink in German, and I have a habit of defaulting to German in uncomfortable situations. It's grammar influences how I sign in ASL, and I often mouþ German words while signing ASL. I intend to learn German to complete fluency. I already use German at home; my family and friends have picked up small phrases and can understand small sentences because of me.
American Sign Language
Proficiency: 3rd Language
Study Start: 2023
I started learning ASL in highschool after German was no longer accessible to me. I was able to take two years before ASL III was cut, and I had to switch to Spanish I. I can sign to oþer signers, but I have horrible pronunciation, and I have a hard time interpreting when oþers sign to me. I could survive in a deaf household wiþ manual signing. I use ASL to communicate in situations where speaking/hearing is not possible. I will default to ASL when I become overwhelmed, sometimes after defaulting to German. I do not intend on furþering my ASL skills.
Toki Pona -- toki pona
Proficiency: Conceptual Understanding
Study Start: 2023
After discovering þe wonders of conlaning, it was inevitable I'd eventually discover Toki Pona. I once learned Toki Pona to point where I could start expressing ideas and feelings in journals, but I struggled to interpret written and spoken Toki Pona wiþ any amount of efficiency. Wiþ a lack of practical use, my skills have degraded. I have studied Toki Pona from a linguistic angle, using it as inspiration for my own conlanging projects. I am deeply fond of "sitelen pona," þe most wildy known script for Toki Pona, which looks as such:
toki! mi pilin pona. toki pona li awen pona
toki! mi pilin pona. toki pona li awen pona
Hello! I'm feeling great. Toki Pona is continuously excellent.
p.s. Þe font I'm using for sitelen pona is called Linja Namako by jan Sikusi.
Russian -- Русский
Proficiency: Abysmal
Study Start: ~2019-2020
I have an odd connection to Russian. Like German, I find a sort of comfort and beauty in it. When I first picked it up, it was admittedly because of it's edgy character, being associated wiþ big, bad Russia. I þought I'd gain a little bit more respect from knowing Russian. Currently, my drive for learning Russian is to be less oblivious to Russian culture, and to be a sort of aura flex I guess. I also want þe advantage of being able to understand Russian texts and to someday study oþer related languages like Ukrainian.
As it stands right now, my Russian is so bad, I could almost list every phrase I know right here right now. When I speak Russian, I usually only say, «Привет! Как дела? Всё хорошо?», «Да или нет?», «Что??», «Я дома», «Спасибо» ("Hello! How are you? Is everything okay?", "Yes or no?", "What??", "I'm home", "Thank you").
Additionally, I'll say, «Привый» or "Privy," a modification of "privyet" in spirit to German's "tschüssy" from "tschüss."
Spanish -- Español
Proficiency: None
Study Start: 2025 (currently not started yet)
Spanish has been one of þose languages I've avoided studying because everyone studies Spanish. It just feels so cliché as an American to learn Spanish (or French). "Look at me, so worldly, I know a little bit of the neighboring language. Ain't I so smart and diverse!"
As much as I've avoided learning Spanish þough, I do hold a lot of respect for it. I've been surrounded by it for as long as I've been alive, and Mexican culture is not someþing þat feels alien to me. I am unbelievable excited to learn Spanish, especially since it has practical use in þe US.
I intend to take a year in Spanish and learn it enough þat I can stumble around in it.
