hi everyone!!! i am peri/rookie, and i am from portugal! :omg:k: (he/him)
i dont wanna do a huge introduction, but basically, i love music (TMBG, talking heads, oingo boingo, XTC, the clash, your favorite martian, the specials, ETC... basically mostly 70s, 80s, 90s music and some more recent things) and video games! i like to draw my original characters and occasionally fanart of characters i like :tongue:

Hi!

I love The Clash with a burning passion, my favorite by them is "Lost in the Supermarket". I've always resonated with its melancholy lyrics of feeling lost in a consumeristic-driven culture!!

Oingo Boingo's song "Just Another Day" also has some lyrics about needing water and the world being on fire. Which is how I feel living in CA, haha.
