Vandaeron

Hello. I am a raccoon without a name, but you may call me by my screen name, Vandaeron (or Van.)

I was once a human, but I developed a very large lack of energy, manifested as excessive and untimely bouts of sleep. I developed very pronounced dark circles around my eyes, and they got worse and worse until I had a raccoon face, and the rest just followed.

I am asexual and panromantic. I have no gender, so that I may be loved by any gender or sexuality without fear. I don't mind what pronouns you use for me, but 'they' is preferred. I also believe that using "his/her" and complaining about use of singular they is outdated, needlessly wordy, and ignorant of non-binary people.

I am striving to become very passive and inclusive. I've always loved talking people through issues they're having, and I want to focus more on that kind of energy in my life. There are a lot of old aggressive tendencies I want to be rid of, but those will take time to work on.

And a lot of anxiety. That's the bigger thing. I have a hard time feeling safe when I'm around other people, unless I feel very comfortable around them. So I spend a lot of time observing quietly. Eventually I will be able to overcome that, too. I hope.

Anyway, here is a thing I had written about a vision of myself I had one morning. I guess it represents the idealistic version of me, what I would like to strive for. Try to think of this when you think of me, if you can.
