our system

we aren't super open constantly about our plurality; e.g. we don't clarify who's in "front" most of the time. however, if you're in a conversation with us, it's completely okay to ask. we prefer "headmates" to refer to members of the system, and generally we use "i/me" instead of "we/our" to refer to ourselves (this paragraph is just for clarity)

feel free to ask me questions about this, even if they seem invasive. if i don't want to answer a question, i simply won't - no judgement passed. however if you try to get my opinions about online arguments i will probably ignore you

some of us are listed with certain skills; while all system members share skills, some are more confident/passionate about certain skills/interests than others

• no pronoun preference
• virtual cat / vague symbolic representation of a person
• digital artist, honestly i just like talking to people
• interested in: virtual worlds, game design, vector art, webcomics, worldbuilding, sheep, music analysis

every time someone tells me they thought the sapari cat was literally me / a sona / an oc of mine, and not From Something, i grow a little more powerful (current count: at least 4)

i'm the one that's spamming sapari cat emotes all the time. i'm also prone to saying just some of the darndest things. it's fine

main face of the system and also the one that fronts the most often

some things i do

here is some of the work i've done in the past and present!

customemoji [2019-2021]

when i was about 18-20 years old, i ran a tumblr blog called customemoji that made edits of emojis from the Twemoji set on request. this scratched a bit of a vector art itch, and i still see people using the emojis from that blog out in the wild!

eventually, exhaustion, overwhelm, and fatigue caught up and the blog was softly "retired". i still very occasionally post on it, but requests are no longer actively responded to.

we were also kind of young, immature, and struggling to handle an excess of public attention, so if you would like to see just the emojis and not the rest of the blog, use the custom emoji tag!

Homebrew Deviants as vyn [2021 - now]

(logo here?)

Homebrew Deviants is a creative studio focusing on fantasy worlds, prominently featuring stories about animal people, magic, and recovery

i do some programming, writing, design, web development, and art here and there!

fair warning: HD is meant for 16+ audiences (with some more mature 18+ content sometimes.) these stories may feature heavy themes and imagery (such as sexuality, violence, illustrated gore, body horror, trauma, and abuse).

in early 2023, i rewrote Homebrew Deviants' story directory in Python in order to host Homebrew Deviants quests, including the front-end design of it. check it out!!

Corporate Clash as huck [2023 - now]

i am a game developer for the game Toontown: Corporate Clash! i am credited under the Technical Team as Huck.

very recently, i handled a lot of technical implementation for the April Toons 2023 ARG, including a lot of the web design and assets of the intentionally-scuffed High Roller profile page.

Objectum Media as desmond [2023 - now]

i run a neocities website called Objectum Media, a media list for people in the Objectum and POSIC+ communities - people who feel relationship attachments to objects, perceive certain objects as sentient, or simply enjoy these themes in media.

this website is basically 100% run, programmed, and designed by me, with reader suggestions for media given and occasional reviews provided by volunteers. i've been a little busy to update it, though...

this website as P [2022 - now]

everything you see here was coded by me!

PORTFIEND was started as an effort to be able to post about myself without worrying about numbers, view counts, algorithms, and similar trappings of social media. i think it has evolved into a bit of an art piece, representing a desire for authenticity and personal growth without having to follow someone else's rules.

if you wanna know what resources i used to make this website, check out About This Website!

that's cool! i wanna hire you

i am unfortunately Very Bad at figuring out my pricing for paid work. with that said though, due to increasing IRL pressure, i am very hesitant to work for free. choose a method of contact and i'll try my best to respond! or you can check out my commissions page and order something.
