because if you die running, at least you knew what it was like to run
So who am I? I'm Basalamander, but feel free to call me Basalt or Octo. I go by they/octo/he pronouns (in that order), but you can use anything except for she/it. This is my fun little playground for me to practice html/css.
I'm 21+, and a black college student. I started writing when I was 4 or 5 years old, and starting roleplaying on Animal Jam in late 2012. My roleplaying and writing are intertwined, and it's basically impossible for me to separate the two! I have 450+ OCs, most of which have either been lost to time to have very old and outdated information. I hope to one day create a repository for all of my OCs, but that's a project with a years long undertaking that I'm not sure where I would even host it. Most likely here on Neocities, although that's for the next few years.
Outside of writing and roleplaying, I love playing video games. Currently, I'm a competitive Splatoon 3 player. I've been eagerly following the scene since early 2020, and only joined it myself in September of 2024.
My fictional content may feature the following sensitive subjects: bigotry (queerphobia, racism, sexism), torture, child abuse and neglect, cults and brainwashing, nonconsensual relationships or sexual situations (that may or may not include minors and/or result in pregnancy), kidnapping, and more. If these topics make you uncomfortable in any way, please proceed with caution across my site and my writing. I write plenty of dark content that I may or may not post, so it is up to you whether or not you wish to view that content or not. I believe that fiction is a great way to explore these topics in a safe, and healthy environment.
