about

Hey, I'm Terry, or Svirdilu, or Svir! I use he/him or they/them pronouns. Welcome to my silly little website.

I like making stuff and doing art. I am located in the USA & am some age older than 21. I live with many pets, and am responsible for one cat and one snake.

Я понимаю русский! 日本語が少しわかります。日本語はOK, 学びたい! Я вчу українську мову. Спробуйте поговорити зі мною!

How to contact me:

  • Come leave me a message on my guestbook! (This may be visible to other people.)
  • Email me! Username is svirdilu, and it's @ gmail for the moment.
  • Leave me a message on my DW contact me post, no DW account required! (This should be screened and invisible to other people, but leave contact info for yourself if you want me to be able to respond.)

Here are a few places you can find me:

  • Pixelfed (self-hosted): My art portfolio - not 100% comprehensive, but it's the closest you're going to get! (Can also be followed from anywhere Fediverse/ActivityPub-compatible, like Mastodon.)
  • BlueSky bridge of the above Pixelfed: bridged with Bridgy Fed. Interactions may not be reliable if you're not also bridged/if Bridgy Fed has hiccups, so I don't recommend trying to message me here.
  • Dreamwidth: Misc stuff, this is where my FTH and other misc fandom event participation might go.
  • Mastodon: Socializing! Gonna be honest, I've kind of given up on social media for now ;v;

I exist in lots of other places, though I'm trying to cut down on my number of accounts.

If you're not sure if an account somewhere is me, feel free to ask one of the above! I don't currently have a personal/non-art BlueSky, and while I have a Twitter and Tumblr, they're just there to park on the username at this point.

Here is a small selection of stuff I enjoy/find interesting:

  • DIY: clothes, hacking together furniture, tech-y stuff, etc... if you mention it to me I'm probably interested in trying it
  • trying out new art mediums: right now I'm on a bit of a stamp and block print kick
  • spooky forest/mountain or glitchy aesthetics
  • space & starwatching
  • SFF books
  • cool stationery
  • boba
  • camping & biking
  • rhythm games (particular favorite: WACCA)
  • Pokemon
  • FFXIV
  • Radiant Historia
  • Ghost Trick Phantom Detective
  • Outer Wilds
  • In Stars And Time
  • (You may be sensing a theme... a time travel nonsense theme...)
