Cattleya Lover

About me

Gender Male
Occupation NEET
Introduction I love Cattleya! Other names: Zhizn Snake, Gulabjamuns. Age: 31. Season: Winter. I'm basically like Number 5 from the film Short Circuit (maybe because it was my first favorite film as a baby, next to Batman Returns), except without the lasers. All I'm good for is eating up information at an obsessive rate and dieing in as many video games as possible. Yes, my future is foggy and likely bleak (even though I'm very straight edged and health concious). I've been fixated on death since I was 8 and stopped believing in religion or the soul since I was 14, and I ponder the futility of existence daily. Everything else in life is just a happy diversion from the bleak truths of reality :D there is no escape from this cycle of pain and dopamine. Life is boobs, hopefully (and discovery/music/games/stories/art, but not as wonderful), and then there's oblivion. Try to enjoy, try to minimize discomfort, and treat others how you'd treat yourself, what more can you do? If everyone realized this and chilled out maybe being here wouldn't be so bad. Also I try to help the environment by not using plastic bags/utensils and using buses and bikes on the occasions when I go out, because why not?
Interests Cattleya, Queen's Blade, Ontology, Space, Science, Cyberpunk, Anime (almost everything from classics going back to the 50s - Magic Boy, to the more serious 80s and 90s stuff, to the more ecchi and comedic modern stuff), Hiraku Kaneko, Akio Takami, Masami Obari, Rin Sin, Mamoru Oshii, Video Games (mostly classic stuff from the late 80s to the early 2000s, 2D stuff, Japanese niche stuff, fighting games, shmups, arcadey stuff, STUFF like that.
