While I'm on my posting hot streak, I might as well update my intro post with more current information. Will pin this if I can figure out how.

I go by Prax online, which is technically short for Praxidike because I stole it from a character on The Expanse. Google says it's supposed to be pronounced "prahx-ih-DEE-kee", but in my head I say it "prax(rhymes with fax)-ih-DEEK" because who's gonna stop me? Cops can't arrest my brain. It's a lawless land. Couldn't even fit handcuffs on it. ... Anyway. :| My gender is [vague hand motions] and is maybe a little bit in crisis at the moment, but IRL I am perceived as [Ferengi voice] feeemale which I figure is relevant. He/she/they pronouns are all great, as are a mixture of masculine and feminine terms, and honestly I like it best when people mix it up, but feel free to default to a single one as I know that can get confusing. I guess I have a modest preference for masc and neutral, but that's more because I get she/her'd exclusively IRL so it's not like any of these are misgendering.

I'm a 26yo educator at a childcare center, where I work with infants through preschool age. It's pretty great, even if the pay sucks. I'm a soft college dropout who will, inshallah, someday graduate with a degree in criminology and legal studies, which will hopefully allow me to make more than $9/hr.

When I'm not working, I have a lot of artistic hobbies that I enjoy. I love DIY projects, painting, drawing, reading, writing, graphic design, curbing impulse purchases, and collecting weird tchotchkes at thrift stores to confuse and terrify my friends and family. I've published two video games, Annual Haunting and The Question, both of which can be played for free by clicking the links. ... Also, Clown Rat Egg Hunt. I guess.

I've been a part of fandom spaces since around 2006 and it's been a big part of my life ever since then. My fandoms tend to change around a lot; my old post had a section here listing my "current" fandoms, but it changes so often and is so dependent on what shows are currently airing that it becomes out of date incredibly fast. I like a lot of sci-fi, a handful of fantasy, and a whole lot of limited run drama series about terrible people. I'll probably make a broader list of fandoms and ships that I like later, because who doesn't love talking about themselves.

I'm sure I'll think of a dozen things that belong in this post after I publish it, but I think I've covered the basics in way more detail than anybody needed. And of course, if you're curious about anything, you can always ask. Ta!

God I am really not good at non-scripted introductions. I was going to steal whatever I wrote as an intro on my old LJ but it was a) extremely embarrassing and b) not a real introduction. I was also nervous about using my real name here, but fuck it, my family is technologically illiterate, they won't find this HAHA JUST KIDDING I POSTED THIS AND IMMEDIATELY REGRETTED IT, TIME FOR A PSEUDONYM.

So, I'm Haru. I'm a 23yo struggling through university, studying criminology with an official focus in legal studies and unofficial focuses in LGBT issues and justice reform*. My gender is [vague hand motions] but I'm more or less female, so she/her pronouns are fine as a default. I've also been tentatively testing out masculine forms of address so feel free to throw some of those my way. Or neutral ones. Really, I'm not too fussed.

When I'm not working or doing classwork, I have a lot of artsy-fartsy hobbies that I enjoy. I love DIY projects, painting, drawing, reading, writing, graphic design, curbing impulse purchases, and collecting weird tchotchkes at thrift stores to confuse and terrify my friends and family.

I've been a part of fandom spaces since around 2007 and it's been a big part of my life ever since then. My fandoms tend to change around a lot, but at the moment my primary involvement is with Star Trek, Star Wars, Fire Emblem, and Dragon Age. Those are just the fandoms that I've been personally active in recently, so it's less "these are my current favorites" and more "these are currently the things I like with very active fandoms". I'll probably make a broader list of fandoms and ships that I like later, because who doesn't love talking about themselves.

I haven't done an actual intro post in forever and truthfully I'm running out of steam, which is a little embarrassing. I might come back to this later okay I never actually do. I'll rephrase and say this may have a part two later.

*My university has official "focuses" for large majors, which is where legal studies come in, but I've personally tailored my courses towards the LGBT/reform areas.
