hello, you can call me nithe!
_{(pronounced /naɪð/, rhymes with "knife". here's the whole wikitionary page if you wanna)}formally i'm known as artem but nithe's my online alias. feel free to call me by either, both or any of the names in my pronouns.page!! having a single name is for the weakthis is a detailed version of my profile, including my microlabels, personality types and whatnot.

⚬ romance repulsed aromantic

⚬ tritype: 479
⚬ instinctual variants: sp/sx
⚬ big 5 (SLOAN): unsure!
⚬ riasec code: AIE
⚬ temperaments: phlegmaticat a glance: i'm introverted, i need my alone time, and i hate conflict. i can spend hours with my mind and my own interests, and i'm a big fan of psychology and personality studies in general. though OF COURSE, i only use them for my own analysis and i know personalities are too complex to be sorted into 16 categories or 9 types, for example. dni if you're one of those people who're like "omg i hate enfps they're so annoying" no those are just letters be fr nowunrelated: i don't believe in astrology, though if you do then: i'm a gemini (can't be bothered to find out my rising sun and moon or whatever it's called). it's up to you whatever that says about me.

more about me⚬ i'm a literature student and aspiring horror writer. man i LOVE horror, espcially folk/local based horror. otherwise i don't really know what kind of writer i want to be, poet or novelist or whatever. but i do know i want to create, be myself, and most importantly, inspire change.⚬ i'm multilingual! i live in hong kong, so my mother tongue is cantonese / chinese, but i can also speak english (with confidence), japanese (okay-ish) and russian (very rudimentary). that said, sometimes i get confused between UK/US spellings, so bear with me. i mainly try to use US, not because i have any respect for the united states, but because it's easier for me personally.⚬ i'm 154cm (5' 0.5") tall. i am babey.⚬ i'm currently in uni majoring in english literature with a minor in gender studies.⚬ i'm struggling with MADD (mixed anxiety-depressive disorder) and eczema, and i also have extremely terrible executive dysfunction as a result of late-diagnosed ADHD, but i try not to let that hinder me.

if you're still reading... holy shit i love you. thank you <3
