I'm a 30+ cis bi person working in a high school textbook room in northern California. I was a retail manager for more than a decade and also a theatrical costume tech for seven or eight years.

I love historical fashion, Renaissance faires, garment sewing, art, and good animation.

I'm much happier than in TX although I do keep running into small things that I had thought were awesome about CA when I was a kid but now that I have to pay taxes and worry about the DMV are... less than awesome

lol To be fair, outside is awesome. I get it, Shep, but you gotta be safe!

For historical fashion, I think it was a costume history in class. Before that it was all anime and video game cosplay but learning about historical clothing and seeing how those designs get built upon or simplified for fantasy or animation really interested me

I also credit Shoomlah's historical Disney princess art series

: Favorite is so many things but the first one that comes to mind is character creation
ʙɪʀᴅɴᴀᴍᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢ
Going from "wouldn't it be funny if..." to how the campaign shapes them is the best feeling

Least favorite is scheduling lol
