「Alex Amelia Pine」
Hi there! You can call me either Alex or Amelia/Amy. I'm a proud trans woman (she/they/it), and pan lesbian!
I've been wanting to build my own website forever, so here I finally am! This will be a work-in-progress, fixer-upper of a personal site, but hopefully it can be a sort of hub for all things me! :3
About Me
I've struggled for a lot of years with a lot of things; mental health, identity, religion, family, financial insecurity, etc. Breaking free of the shackles of my past was a journey - and is a journey - that has changed me for the better. It's allowed me to be proud in my identity as a trans woman, to engage in the history of the queer community, to invest myself in the politics that affect me and everyone around me, and to explore my true passions in art, writing, music, and especially storytelling.
I've been a storyteller for as long as I can remember. When I was young, it was reading comics and then drawing my own. As I entered high school, it became writing of every medium available to me. As I stand now as an adult, it continues to be a mix of every era of my life. While art is not my strongest suit, I continue to be a storyteller. I continue to write narratives, poetry, scripts, and anything else I can find. Additionally, I've broken into the game development sphere, working with simple game engines like RPG Maker to make childhood passions a tangible reality. I've also been practicing music in various programs that will allow me not only to make soundtracks, but also produce music of any kind I choose. I hope to archive the process of all these various projects here on my site.
As far as hobbies, nothing rises higher than video games and media preservation. I mention those together, because not only am I an avid enjoyer of video games throughout history, I am also passionate about physical media and the media preservation, obviously leading me to do so for gaming. It's a medium that is not as well archived as many others are, and when I see places where I can contribute, I do so.
