[sticky entry] Sticky: About Me

Jul. 6th, 2023 10:19 pm
renfys: (Me)
Name: Ren
Pronouns: they/them
Age: 43
Location: Wales
Gender: Non-binary
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Ethnicity: White Welsh
Pets: 3 and a half cats
Likes: Tea, pizza, sleep, sc-fi, 
Hates: Terfs, tomatoes, coffee,
Fandoms: Stargate, Dragon Age, Star Trek, Rizzoli & Isles, I dabble a lot.


About me:
I'm Ren, I was born in Coventry and have lived in Wales, the land of my fathers (well, actually my grandfather) since I was ten.

I've been married for eleven years to an American from New Jersey and we have two kids. My wife carried and birthed them both. Flower 9, and identifies as a girl.. Tabby is 5 and a cancer survivor and had a liver transplant in January 2022. She has been in remission for the past 18 months or so. She probably the healthiest of us all.  I have a 22 year old nephew called Taylor, he is autistic and has dyspraxia and adhd. He was the best man at my wedding and, still is my best man. I have a 15 year old niece called Poppy who is definitely more like her mum than my sister would like! My sister is doing her nursing degree, she's a HCA at the moment. 

We live just south of Aberystwyth and work for the university as the accommodation admin and database monkey. 

I have diabetes type 2, mostly controlled. I have fibromyalgia and chronic pain. I also have depression and anxiety - the severe life long kind and have done since I was a teenager. I'm working on continuing the work my mum did to break out of the trauma of her childhood and my own. 

I have always written. I write mostly fanfiction, non-fiction, fantasy and sci-fi. I used to write a lot of poetry, but not so much any more. I have a blog - Queer Little Family - but I don't write in much anymore. I don't write much of anything anymore. Partly due to the last few years doing a number of my mental health and my creativity.

I have an online shop - Queer Little Shop - that I started to take seriously in lock down and hope to grow more and more. I make mostly pride stuff, but branch out now and then. I draw it all, and make a great deal of it. I have a market stall at Aberystwyth Farmers Market once a month and do Pride Events around Wales. I am hoping to open a Queer Space in Aberystwyth.

I have over twenty tattoos - including the earth address from Stargate on my right calf and am working on covering my entire lower left leg. 

Feel free to ask me anything.

Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page

Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!
 

 

I've been on a bit of nostalgia wave so I want people to check out neocities.org and nekoweb.org. I've enjoyed messing around with HTML and CSS again. I'm still trying to figure out how best to use them. 

This is one my fave colouring book artists - https://www.patreon.com/elliemarksart

And this seems appropriate -snowflakes - https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/snowflakes-a-chapter-from-the-book-of-nature-1863/ - someone shared it on pillowfort but I can't remember who atm.

I'm using trackbear.app for Get Your Words Out (but also using a spreadsheet just in case and also cause I love spreadsheets).

This is my freebie alcohol marker pride flag guide for colouring pride flags. I hope to expand it to add copics and promarkers at some point. - https://ko-fi.com/s/e07a09f7b2

Challenge #3: Write a love letter to fandom. It might be to fandom in general, to a particular fandom, favourite character, anything at all. 

For me, Stargate gets credited with a lot of good things in my life, from survival to my best friend. I was definitely sure I was bisexual after watching Stargate, and definitely sure I loved writing after writing Stargate fanfiction, and I pretty much only have good memories, even at the worst of times. 

The godmother to my children, I met on LiveJournal because she read my fanfic and we connected. This was twenty years ago. We're still friends to this day. When I was in the hospital with haemolytic anaemia, she would come to visit me from her city (I was in the next city over) with her laptop so we could watch the new episodes of Atlantis together. We created an entire AU together. 

During the worst of my depression, there was still Stargate. It wasn't perfect, but neither am I.

And I have a lot of tattoos some from fandom, a nug from Dragon Age, Reepicheep, Lion from Steven's universe, Psyduck, Snoopy, and the Earth address from Stargate down the back of my right calf.

Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom
: Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

I have four cats, legally, but it's more like 3 cats and half of two cats. Reb Brown - my old man cat, Stink my half blind and brain damaged cat and Kitten my murderpuss all live here full time. Reb is an indoor cat, with occasional escape attempts. Stink and Kitten are indoor/outdoor cats, mostly because they refuse to use a litter box. Well Kitten refuses, Stink doesn't really understand the concept.  We also have Missy, who I see on occasion but she spends most of her time at the care home across the lane. And Buddy isn't out cat but spends most of his time here. 

We also have three chickens, Jade, Fluffernutter and Jellylegs. We may get more in the spring. And we have 2 fish. 

I also offer you these two fic about animals:

Some Of The Adventures Of Schrödinger The Cat - A Stargate SG-1 fic about Sam's cat after the Tolen are attacked.

Proper Lawn Maintenance - A Dragon Age fic about a goat.

The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.

I'm Ren, I'm in my 40s and a parent, I'm non-binary, married to an American, we live in Wales. I was born in Coventry but have lived in Wales for most of my life (and my grandfather was Welsh).

I have two kids, age 9 and 5, both idetinfyings as girls atm. Flower is all about lego and Tabby is all about cats (and well, Tabby). 

I'm not really into a fandom atm, not in the way I used to be when I was younger. I tend to write and bootle about in whatever show I'm binging at the time, though Stargate remains my fave. I do write orignal stuff as well. I want to write more this year, more of everything, I haven't been writing as much as I used to.

I loved doing the challenge before and wanted to do it again, plus I thought it would be a good way to connect and try to un-isolate myself. I tend to be pretty insular nowadays, both on and offline. Between the anxiety and the kids and my physical health (firbomyalgia), I haven't done much outside of go to work. I started archery last year and started writing again though.

I have a longer about me for my friends list here.

Happy to have more friends on here!

My final peice for my course.

renfys: (Voy - Janeway - Bwah ha ha)

1. Did you get an allowance as a kid, and if so, how much was it?

My dad gave me a fiver a week that he put into a bank account I had. First it was with Leeds, then the Abbey National. I saved it mostly until I was a teenager, and then I mostly used it to go out with my friend Lisa Taylor. In sixth form every Tuesday we went to see the new film at the Commodore and then played air hockey at the Peir until the last bus. We went regardless of what film was playing and we watched some doozies lol. My mum gave me £2.50 every week on Monday to suppliment my free school meals allowance. 

2. How old were you when you had your first job, and what was it?
I was 16 and babysitting for the Moore-Colliers. My mum cleaned their house and they were both academics of some sort. Mrs Moore-Collier often worked in Edinborough and was away so I babysat for Mr Moore-Collier. They had two boys who were easy to look after and then Mr Moore-Collier would come home drunk more often and not, shove some money in my hand and send me home in the taxi that had brought him home. Mrs Moore-Colliar paid me exactly what she said she would, lol. 

3. Which do you do better: save money or spend money?
Spend. I used to be better at saving, when I was a kid, but I dunno, I got some independance. I can save for big purchases, like my bow and other stuff. But also, I sold some stuff on Vinted and have already spent the money before I got it.

4. Are people more likely to borrow money from you, or are you more likely to borrow from them?
I am more likely to borrow money. Definitely.

5. What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought?
My wife's cars. And my printer. It's an Epson Eco-tank 8550. My bow and extras cost less than 300 all told.

As part of my attempt to get a certificate of higher education in art I'm doing an intro to digital drawing and painting. Except I know how to use procreate - the basics - I was hoping for more guidance on how to use/choose the right brushes but maybe that's in the next one.

Anyway, here is a watercolour flower I drew as part of the course.

Blodyn Porffor is Welsh for purple flower.
