Okay imagine like a cool Spiderverse intro here, with like a comic book and all that. Hold on maybe I can make that real quick...

A super cool gif of the tbh creature on a comic book, it's cool, trust me (it's so not)

Yes! It looks terrible. xD Okay, "Let's do this one last time" as the cool kids say. My name is [don't share your name on the internet], but online I usually go by Possum. I'm a beginner artist and writer, and wanted to make a website to host some of the stuff I make, and because the Indie-Web is cool. I'm a huge fan of animation, though I've never taken the time to really learn it for myself. I really like comic books, and fantasy books. I also garden, and am working on making my yard a mix of native ecosystem and effective "food forest." Oh! I also bake, and sell at festivals during the warmer months. I'm also a big fan of Jesus, I think he's really cool.
I think that's pretty much the basics about me, here's some lists of stuff I like, and that influence my own work. All the pictures are links so if something sounds cool you can check it out:

Favorite Movies!

The Mitchells vs the Machines is probably my favorite, it's such a great movie. Highly recommend.

Both Spider-Verse movies are amazing, I love the characters and beautiful animation sequences.

The HTTYD series is amazing, the dragon designs are so creative, and the story is great. Not to mention the music. Incredible.

This movie has beautiful animation, I love the art style. The characters are all enjoyable, and for some reason the climax of the movie always makes me cry.

Favorite Shows!

Even my dad likes Gravity Falls, this show rocks. Love the humor, love the story, don't trust evil doritos.

A cute story about two brothers and a bird, I really like the art style, and it has exactly the right amount of spookiness for someone who doesn't watch horror.

I love Teen Titans, it's a big influence on my writing, and watching it as a kid is probably part of why I love comics today.

Mystery Inc. is hilarious, even on rewatch I laugh at most of the jokes. Fred is peak autism, a real traysure.

Favorite Books!

A whimsical children's book, that never feels like it's talking down to the reader. I read it at 17 and loved it- it's truly an ageless book. (read the one illustrated by Timothy Basil Ering, his art is awesome)

The cover is just the first Mistborn book, but I'm counting the entire first era here. I really like Brandon Sanderson's writing in general, but Mistborn is probably my favorite of his series that I've read so far. Highly recommend it!

A quick read with a valuable message. The pigs are uncanny in a good way, and the ending is the right amount of disturbing to drive home the point. Boxer deserved better.

Unseelie is about an autistic changeling and her "twin" sister going on a quest. It gets a lot of points for the autism representation, but the book itself is also good. The magic system isn't amazingly creative, but it is interesting and fun to read about.

Favorite Bands!

Good Kid is kind of indie pop rock I guess? I'm bad at identifying genres. They've got some acoustic and 8 bit stuff too. And all their music is freely available to be used for projects! Some of my favorites of theirs are 'Tell Me You Know,' 'First Rate Town,' and 'Orbit.'

Radical Face is a solo artist who does mostly acoustic music, somewhere in the genres of indie folk and indie pop? His music often has a haunting sound, I've never heard anything else like it. My favorites of his songs are 'The Mute,' 'Chains,' and 'Welcome Home.'

Of Monsters and Men: My Head is an Animal Album Art

Of Monsters and Men are an indie folk rock band from Iceland. They have an interesting variety of songs, their style has really evolved over the years. I mostly like their older stuff, of which my favorites are 'Lionheart,' 'Little Talks,' and 'Mountain Sound.'

Fish in a Birdcage has a really unique sound, his music is often very cello-heavy, and I like the way he writes and sings his lyrics. Some of my favorite Fish in a Birdcage songs are 'Child of the Stars,' 'Fish in a Birdcage,' and 'Certain Birds.'

Characters That I Think Are Really Cool

This is my favorite superhero, Cassandra Cain/Batgirl. I think she's really cool, and her costume is also cool. And she's got a comic currently releasing (as of 2025)!

Fred Jones is the best member of the Scooby-Doo gang, I think he's neat. Especially post-Mystery Inc Fred, because he's autistic after that. I quote him often.

Donatello From Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The best ninja turtle, Donatello. I don't have many arguments to make for him being the best turtle.

Lift from The Stormlight Archive is a very fun character, I like her friendship with her Spren, and her novella is a fun story. Wish she was in the main books more. (art by Ariirf)
