aen<p>HI FEDIVERSE!!!</p><p>i am once again making an intro post to christen a new account, a new username, and the end of an era of my life!! so introduction once again</p><p>hi, my name is aen (he/him), i’m british-indian, almost finished with my masters degree in cyber security (specifically i wanna do blue team stuff as a soc analyst / security engineer) and almost out of an internship!! i have adhd so i have my fingers in a lot of hobbies that i can’t balance at all. right now, i’m into:</p>🎵 <strong>music:</strong><p>i LOVE albums and love <a href="https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/aenthology/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reviewing</a> them (although i’m not exactly good at it) and my favourite artist is björk! my favourite album of all time is <a href="https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/1012480-magdalena-bay-imaginal-disk.php" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">imaginal disk by magdalena bay</a> though, and generally i just listen to a lot of art pop. i need to expand my horizons!</p>📖 <strong>reading:</strong><p>i struggle to make time to read because of adhd, but reading is a passion i’ve had for a very long time. right now my favourite book is <a href="https://www.librarything.com/work/27569726/book/276211830" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the spear cuts through water by simon jimenez</a> (literary fantasy) and you can also follow me on <a href="https://www.librarything.com/profile/aenthology" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">librarything</a> if you wanna see the other books ive read - that’s where i track my books and occassionally review them</p>🎮 <strong>games:</strong><p>i am not a pro gamer. im so bad at games. love them though. my favourite game of all time is one i actually played less than two months ago - disco elysium. still haven’t really finished it, but i love that game so much. took an entire week out of my life but i don’t regret it! other than that, i end up playing a lot of indie games and a lot of roguelikes and roguelites, even if i’m shit at them</p>🐉 <strong>dungeons and dragons:</strong><p>i say dnd because i haven’t played any other ttrpgs, but man i love dnd so much. i especially love making characters, and in games i usually try to make characters that feel indian. in dnd there are no restrictions and its so freeing and i get to feel seen with every character i make! right now the two characters i’m playing are <a href="https://dicecloud.com/character/JZhLW9MXJ2XF2xmy4/Oasis-Whisper-Distant-Rain" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">oasis whisper</a>, a tabaxi fighter who’s an archaeologist on a mission, and <a href="https://dicecloud.com/character/wYjYkci6chXgfpLYv/Jemadar-Baru" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">jemadar baru</a>, an ex-military minotaur who’s an enforcer for a gang. the best characters i’ve ever created i think.</p>👾 <strong>pixel art:</strong><p>you may have seen me occassionally post some <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/aenthology.bsky.social/post/3laoj7txjos2c" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">pixel art</a> on my old account, and i really want to try and learn, but i got into a bit of a rut. couldn’t really commit to drawing anything, it was super frustrating. my sister has convinced me now that i should try relearning the basics of art in general (since i haven’t done that since my gcses) so hopefully you’ll see some more pixel art from me this year!</p><p>other than that, you may also see me occasionally talk about dropout (and also smosh since i’ve been getting into them a lot) and hermitcraft, since that’s generally what my watching habits have gravitated towards. so if you’re into any of those, let’s be mutuals!! also heres my <a href="https://letterboxd.com/aen_the_acolyte/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">letterboxd</a>, i do watch movies sometimes</p><p>you wont see me talk about cyber security that often though, im dumb and there are smarter people here</p><p>TLDR: im aen, i do cyber security, i have adhd, and i like music and reading and games and dnd and pixel art and dropout and hermitcraft and a lot of other things</p><p>anyway heres the wall of tags, im not skimping on them this time</p><p><a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/introduction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/introductions" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introductions</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/intro" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#intro</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/adhd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adhd</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/indian" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indian</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/cybersecurity" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cybersecurity</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/infosec" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#infosec</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/music" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/albumoftheyear" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#albumoftheyear</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/björk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#björk</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/magdalenabay" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#magdalenabay</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/reading" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reading</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/thespearcutsthroughwater" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thespearcutsthroughwater</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/book" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#book</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/books" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/bookreview" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookreview</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/indiegames" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indiegames</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/roguelike" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roguelike</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/roguelite" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roguelite</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/discoelysium" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#discoelysium</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/ttrpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ttrpg</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/dnd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dnd</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/dungeonsanddragons" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dungeonsanddragons</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/pixelart" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pixelart</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/dropout" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dropout</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/dimension20" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dimension20</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/smosh" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smosh</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://larkspur.one/tag/hermitcraft" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hermitcraft</a></p>
