rules: answer 20 questions, then tag 20 bloggers you want to get to know better.

name: Aroihkin

nickname: Aro

zodiac sign: Taurus/Ox, my birfday is cinco de mayo.

height: very short

languages: English

Nationality: MURIKKKA (sigh) more specifically a typical american caucasian mutt

favorite season: Fall I guess since it’s not at all cold here in central Cali, but the part of the state I live in isn’t literally on fire. Usually. Knock on wood. Spring can kind of go fuck itself because what little rain we get usually happens then, and in huge bursts that don’t actually seep into the ground, and I have to work outside in it.

favorite flower: I have no idea lmao

favorite scent: Lately whenever I walk into my apartment and the strongest scent is from my welding bag sitting in the living room, that makes me pretty happy. It’s a combination of molten steel offgasses, burning flux, and warm leather. IDK it just smells like ‘I did a good job’. I also like that my apartment smells so little like anything else that my welding bag can sometimes be the strongest scent in the room, considering it’s not potent at all.

Otherwise, probably blackberries.

favorite color: Light turquoise/aqua, in that zone.

favorite animal: All animals are good! But every dog I see is a good pupper.

favorite fictional character: Probably Zevran Arainai, but I have a lot of favorites.

coffee, tea, or hot chocolate: I like all three, and regularly combine coffee with hot chocolate.

average hours of sleep: I aim for 9 and hope.

cat or dog person: Both are great but I have kitties right now and no doggos. They’re just a lot easier while living that apartment life. Someday I’d like to have a couple of both.

number of blankets you sleep with: I will lay there freezing for a while before I’ll pull my one blanket on. It’s a side effect of the eight years where I wasn’t allowed to sleep more than four hours at a time before someone would be pounding on the wall demanding my immediate presence. It’s something I’m actively working on.

dream trip: IDK I’ve never had the option so I don’t give it much thought.

blog established: November 2011

followers: 647 which I feel like ain’t bad for not being a fandom blog

a random fact: Uhhh... I own a robot vac (Neato D3) who I named Beep Boop in the app, but usually call Beeper when I invariably talk to it while it does its beeperly bidding. There’s something awfully endearing about it when I get a message on my phone that’s like: Beep Boop: I’m stuck! like aww, buddy.

It’s not just a novelty item, either, beeper cleans the floor real nice. I got rid of my upright vac during the move because beeper does just as good a job.

I am dying at the NSFW tag right now

Your art and HC posts give me life.. You also rock one of my absolute favorite Patreon accounts. Thank you so much for all your hard work and passion.

Goodness, this is absolutely terrifying. So good

Though it isn’t one specific memory, the one that evokes the most feeling for me is all the times that my aunt, my brother, and I would sit in my grandparent’s house playing The Legend of Zelda on NES.  That game means so much to me.  My aunt gifted the game to me years later, and my brother and I play it all the way through at least once a year.  I still have it (yes, I carried it with me to Florida when I moved) as I feel it’s a wonderful representation of who I am.  Absolutely nothing could ever compare to my love for that game.

My brother and I still play it as often as we can and it’s so amazing to see what we can remember.  We work so well as a team since we’ve been playing video games together our whole lives.  That game has a special place in both our hearts though <3
