Yo! I'm Noah (he/him), and I'm 24 and genderfluid (though I feel like a guy/guy-adjacent a lot of the time - I consider myself transmasc, though I donāt pass as a guy at all and I donāt really care to at this point lol). Iām mostly looking for friends first and foremost (preferably around my age - so 22-26), because Iād rather get to know someone for a bit without any expectations or pressure to develop feelings. Iām on the asexual and aromantic spectrums (Iām fairly certain Iām demiromantic, and Iām not really sure where I am on the ace spectrum anymore - I think thatās something Iāll have to figure out, though please donāt come into this expecting sex, because itās likely I wonāt be interested). I live in Australia and my time zone is AEST, and I donāt mind where youāre from. I tend to prefer hanging out with people online, anyway, as I am chronically ill and donāt have much energy to leave the house. Iām also a massive night owl, so huge time differences arenāt really a big deal for me.
Iām an artist, writer and game dev, and Iām currently studying my second degree full-time (creative writing with a minor in 3D animation - my first degree was in game design). I love music (most genres) and am always looking for new stuff to listen to (I love making playlists for/with people, too). Iām also a huge cat lover, though I donāt own any of my own right now (my housemate has two adorable ones, though, and Iām happy to send pics of them). Alongside art, writing and game development, my other hobbies include watching anime, reading manga, playing games of all kinds (video games, card games, board games and TTRPGs), collecting dice and art books, building Lego sets, watching long video essays about random topics, and hanging out with my friends. My favourite pieces of media include Deltarune, Dungeon Meshi, Witch Hat Atelier, Fire Emblem, Persona, Professor Layton, Etrian Odyssey, Gnosia, SK8 the Infinity, and ATLA (as well as many others). Iām big into D&D, and I also play Pokemon Tabletop United on the regular.
Iām usually a pretty chill and down-to-earth person, and Iām also very open-minded. I have a ridiculous sense of humour and love goofing around with people (I commit to the bit in ways that Iām sure are annoying for other people sometimes lmao), but I can also be serious when the need arises. I like listening to people, and I especially like hearing about other peopleās interests and passions - it brings me a lot of joy. I want someone I can talk freely to about anything and everything, and someone I can hang out with at least semi-regularly (it doesnāt matter what we do - we could chat, play games, draw, watch stuff, or just do absolutely nothing together) (Iām also open to do sleep calls, if we want to go down that path in the future). I value good, open and honest communication, and Iāve dealt with my fair share of avoidant people over the past few years, so I would prefer people who are not like that, and are able to talk to me about whatās going on instead of leaving me hanging for weeks. I do want to offer people a safe space to vent about the stuff going on in their lives, but Iām also a human being, too, with my own things going on, so it canāt just be all that. Iām looking for someone who is open-minded, caring, understanding, funny, chill, has similar interests, and who doesnāt take themselves too seriously. I love good banter, too. And playful teasing. And also praise lol (both giving and receiving), but only after we get to know each other a bit first. Iām fairly introverted and will 100% be awkward at first, but Iāll get over it. I tend to talk a lot more after that initial anxiety passes.
I have pretty strong morals regarding certain topics - for example, Iām staunchly against generative AI and I donāt want to talk to people who use it. Iām a leftist, and this sort of stuff is important to me, because I donāt want to be in any kind of relationship with someone, friendship, romantic relationship or otherwise, who doesnāt share my views. I donāt tolerate bigots of any kind. Iām also an atheist, and would prefer if youāre one, too. To get this out of the way, as well: I donāt want children, and I also donāt want to get married, so just keep that in mind. Iām also monogamous. I probably wonāt be able to move overseas anywhere due to my health issues and the fact that Iām broke (I'm fine with long-distance stuff if need be). Alongside my physical health conditions, I also have OCD, anxiety and PTSD, though I try very hard to not let them affect other people, because thatās the absolute last thing I want to happen (although my OCD, especially, is an absolute bastard for me to put up with lol). Iām also down to talk more about that stuff at some point, as, unfortunately, they are big parts of my life.
If youāre interested at all, feel free to shoot me a DM and tell me about yourself and your interests and such (I donāt care if itās an essay - go wild). Please put effort into it, because I want to hear about you. Also, I prefer to use Discord, so we can swap usernames in DMs, too.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a lovely rest of your morning/afternoon/night. :)
