Is anyone free right now to call on discord?
More about me, I live in USA, Midwest.
I sing songs, write stories and binge film.
I have a VHS tape collection that I’m really proud and a calico named Odetta.

It’s exhausting having to post on here after people ghost or block me either because they hear my voice isn’t very masculine or I’m not as turned on every second like they are.

Is there really no one around my age or older who is rough around the edges and likes to talk about life, films, stories, and whatever?

I’m soft but I’m not a femboy. I have a beard and I paint my nails.. call me what you will lol..
Please hit me up, it’s boring over here.

Please be open to discuss fitness, I need help navigating my journey. I’m not morbidly obese.. I’m 6’2, it balances well but I’m not where I wanna be.

First and foremost, I’m gay and would rather chat with someone who won’t hold that against me…

I enjoy an array of movies, and music…
I like long messages and even longer calls but sometimes I don’t wanna type and type and the thought of being forced to talk drains me so..

If you’re someone who likes to talk, I would love to listen but don’t get taken aback when I all of a sudden get the urge to join in the fun.

I like horror films, murder mysteries, and niche films that most would find weird, or too much..

Music interests include Janis Joplin, Odetta, Of Monsters and Men, Nick Drake and a few others.

Would like to music swap with you.

I promise I’m more lively than I’m typing.. having a rough autumn so far but I’m trying to stay light.

Please call me.

I just moved to Evansville and I’m having a hard time connecting with anyone, creatively.
I lived in Henderson for a long time so it’s not like I’m a stranger to performing in Evansville… but only a handful of times.

None of these moments have I received solid advice.. always “you sound good”

I need critique because I know 100% that I can sound better but it’s like no one wants to help me figure out how.

I sing folk mainly, but I love to venture into other genres. I have been writing lyrics since I was about 9 or 10 and still have my songbook from middle school lol.

It’s just… the weather is gonna get colder soon and I know how I get… I need a connection.. I’ve been stuck in an echo chamber because no one says anything to reflect how I feel.

Matter of fact, it took almost a decade of mixing for ONE person to show me something that I’ve been messing up on when I was mixing in my DAW 🤡

But now that persons MIA.. Not in a negative way, he’s a musician but I haven’t heard from him in almost a month..

But I can’t give up, there’s gotta be someone who isn’t a complete asshole who can help me get out of my shell.

I have social anxiety but sometimes idk it helps to have someone who doesn’t suffer from those things..

I’m wondering if it’s just because I’m in the Midwest.. everything is said quietly, no one is ever upfront, at least not with me… maybe they think I can’t take it?
HMU if you’re able to lend a hand.. maybe we could help each other.. I have a guitar that I really need to learn to play lol

Anyone wanna talk?
I prefer voice calls.. and I prefer to listen to deeper voices lol

maybe we could watch a movie and commentate on it? That’d be nice too.

Wish I had more to say, guess I’m burnt out lol

hi! 27M 🌈✨

I just moved here a month or so ago.

Looking for the kind of friends who don't care too much about bars and clubs and instead find joy in film, nature, cooking, music, art, conversation, and time. (I have a ton of vhs tapes and some dvds.. need a VCR, broke my old one....or it broke itself lmao)

I would like to go out to things like First Friday or to the movies and things of that nature. I'm iffy about "joining" a friend group and would much rather start from the bottom.

I would also just like to sit in silence with another artist/writer so that I can actually get some work done. I sing and write songs of different genres. I also write weird horror stories lol and could really use a boost of inspiration every now and again.

No longer have as many friends as I used to, partly because I've made a stern effort to be real, to stop cultivating masks to make the people who never truly cared about me feel comfortable. I also am working on my active listening skills and learning to check in on folks. But I can promise, that as of this hour, I am as real as I have never been. ... which probably explains the sudden loneliness.

When you change (for the better) and people don't embrace it like they did the other versions of you, it can be tempting to return to being the clown, the fool, the gay friend, the black friend. Because at least in those moments, you had "friends".

But I think Id rather not have friends if it means I'm as fleshy as a scarecrow, lol.

So, right now, at thisharrowing turning point in my life, it is just me and my calico cat Odetta (I think there are pictures of her on my profile).

If you're open to maybe meeting at Pennylane Coffee to just chat and get to know eachother, let me know.

Or maybe even at Dress Plaza (that place is fucking awesome)

Money is tight right now, so no grand adventures, I'm afraid.

I hope this reaches someone real. I also have discord!!!!!

Hi! This is my first horror story and I’d love some advice. I will apply most of it to the next story I write but will end up editing this one again.
Please be kind yet firm with your truth and I will take it accordingly.

Genre: horror
Title: ROTHY

I would type out the plot but honestly, I’m down to answer any questions anyone might have.
I have built out the lore a bit (JUST a bit) so if there’s any lingering questions, I can help. I’ve pulled from folklore and my own childhood. I’ve mixed elements of the wizard of oz, backrooms, coraline, hp lovecraft and some others.
