if you're curious, it's pronounced "mell-oh-kai-riss". it's a jumble of a few sounds and word roots i like.

howdy, and welcome. you're a bit early, the site is still under construction (2.5 years later haha "construction") and i don't know - and have never once in my life known - what exactly it is that i'm doing here. i appreciate your observation of my chickenscratch anyway.

i'll answer to either mongrel, cicada, or my username melochiris. i'm a 21 year-old queer thing that uses they/them or it/its pronouns.

i like drawing dragons and other creatures, listening to music, losing time reading wikipedia articles, and writing long meandering essays about whatever i feel like at any given time. i have countless interests and i want to scream about all of them each hour of every day that i am alive.
i lurk in most places online, and rarely interact with those outside my immediate circle, but i would like to keep an open door to those who are interested. given you're here in good faith and have bothered to read up to this point, we'd probably get along fine.

if you choose to contact me, do not expect an immediate response, if there is one at all. i have an incredibly difficult time of maintaining direct lines of contact, but i do eventually read every message sent to me on any active platform. thank you again for your time. the rest is up to you.
